Biography

Born in Skånela, Sigtuna Municipality on 2 October 1955, Ribohn focused on children and youths with various problems such as with drugs, as part of the Children and Youth Committee in Karlshamn Municipality.[1][2] She had been a drug addict for many years; she started using hashish at the age of twelve[4] and heroin at the age of fourteen.[5]

She became drug-free in the early 1990s at the time of the birth of her first son.[5] In 2007, Ribohn, along with a fellow former addict, founded a drug treatment home, a so-called "motivational home", which could house three people at any one time.[6]

She became publicly known after participating as a contestant on the first season of the reality series The Farm in 2001. She participated again as a "joker" in the 2004 season.[7][8] The series was broadcast on TV4.[9] Ribohn became known for her hot temper and her many arguments with other contestants on the show.[10] She then participated three times in Fort Boyard, also on TV4. She also participated in 2001 in The Bar, which was broadcast on TV3.[11] She further participated in the stop-smoking show Fimpa Nu! in 2004 on TV4 Plus.[12]

In 2005, Ribohn participated, along with some of Sweden's best known reality series contestants, in the reality series Club Goa, which was filmed in Goa and broadcast on TV3.[13] In April 2005, Ribohn's son died after hijacking a taxi and crashing it at high speed, also killing his friend.[14] In 2016, Ribohn participated in the second series of the reality series Realitystjärnorna på godset on TV3 along with television celebrities such as Victoria Silvstedt and Meral Tasbas.[15]

Ribohn died on 7 February 2024, at the age of 68.[16][3] On the day of her death, as a homage to Ribohn, TV4 published the first season of The Farm on its streaming service.[17]
