Adriana Vieira, a 31-year-old Brazilian model known as "Lady Rich Forever," is said to have jumped into the water on September 21 for a swim and failed to surface. The Miami Police Department, the Miami-Dade Police Department, and Miami Fire Rescue responded to 200 Rickenbacker Causeway around 8:30 p.m. that evening and discovered her body a short time after, according to a Miami police spokesperson.
Vieira was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center, where she was pronounced dead. The name of the rapper has not been released, nor has that person been accused of having any involvement.
"The incident has been classified as an unclassified death while the investigation is conducted and pending the medical examiner's report," a City of Miami police spokesperson tells New Times in an email.
As the circumstances behind Vieira's death remain murky, her mother wants answers.
"I want my daughter's death to be investigated, and I need help to bring her body back," Antonio de Lourdes Vieira told a Brazilian news outlet.
The 31-year-old had moved from São Paulo to Florida with her husband, Roberto Tesario, and young son. Tesario later moved back to Brazil.
Vieira's Instagram account, which has 505,000 followers, contains modeling shots and photos of her 6-year-old son. A post on her account from September 20 features a selfie with Tyga and a video of Lil Baby. Vieira walked the runway during Miami Swim Week in July 2023. In addition to modeling, the 31-year-old made music.
Her other Instagram account, @ladyrichforever, contains only one photo, which was posted on September 21 — the day she died. The photo shows two women on a yacht silhouetted by the sunset and foregrounded with a gleaming Champagne bottle.
Her OnlyFans page appears to have been taken down.
