Ariane Bellamar, best known for her work as a Playboy model and appearances on reality television, passed away at age 46.
According to Nevada’s Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner, a report of Bellamar’s death was received on December 20, 2024. However, the coroner did not have jurisdiction over the case, and no further details were provided.
A GoFundMe campaign set up by her ex-husband, Tanner Slaught, revealed that Bellamar’s cause of death was a heart attack. The fundraiser aimed to cover funeral expenses following her sudden passing.
Born in Florida and raised in Toronto, Canada, Bellamar gained recognition as a Playboy model before venturing into television. She appeared on ABC Family’s Beverly Hills Nannies and Bravo’s The Millionaire Matchmaker and landed small roles in films such as Suicide Squad and The Hangover Part III.
She also had a brief presence on HBO’s Entourage as an extra, later making headlines in 2017 when she accused actor Jeremy Piven of groping her both on the show’s set and at the Playboy Mansion. Piven denied the allegations.
Bellamar’s passing marks a significant loss, and she is remembered for her contributions to entertainment and modeling.
