Former Playboy model Ariane Bellamar has passed away at the age of 46. The Clark County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office in Nevada confirmed receiving a report of her death in December 2024, but stated they did not have jurisdiction over the case.
According to a GoFundMe page established by her ex-husband, Tanner Slaught, to cover funeral costs, the cause of death was a heart attack.
Born in Florida and raised in Toronto, Bellamar rose to prominence as a Playboy model. She later transitioned to television, appearing on shows like “Beverly Hills Nannies” and “The Millionaire Matchmaker.” She also had small roles in films such as “Suicide Squad” and “The Hangover Part III,” and appeared as an extra on HBO’s “Entourage.”
In 2017, Bellamar accused “Entourage” star Jeremy Piven of sexual harassment, allegations which Piven denied.
News of Bellamar’s passing prompted reactions on social media, with many expressing sadness and condolences. Some users commented on the unexpected nature of her death at a young age, while others highlighted the importance of heart attack awareness.
