The late OnlyFans model was attending an exclusive party on an unknown rapper’s yacht the night before her death.
Brazilian-born model Adriana Vieira, 31, was discovered floating in Miami’s Biscayne Bay on Sunday, September 22. According to official reports, Vieira was seen attending a VIP yacht party the night before.
The host, a yet unknown rapper, has not been identified nor accused of any involvement in Vieira’s death. Local authorities are still investigating the circumstances that led to her death.
The yacht party gathered a group of influencers, musicians and high-profile guests. The Miami police responded to a distress call when Vieira’s body was spotted floating in the water near the yacht. She was unresponsive and later pronounced dead at the scene.
Although the official medical report confirms that the cause of the model’s death was drowning, authorities are treating it as suspicious.
According to witnesses, someone warned the guests about jellyfish in the water, prompting those swimming to get out quickly. Adriana, however, decided to remain in the water, continuing to do flips and dives. At one point, she allegedly dove in headfirst and never came back up, alarming her friends.
Realizing something was terribly wrong, they called for help. About ten minutes later, the Coast Guard pulled her body from the water, but by then, it was too late to save her.
Who Was Adriana Vieira?
Adriana Vieira’s rise to fame began when she moved from Brazil to the United States in search of a fresh start. Vieira’s transformation from a quiet life in Brazil to a bold, lavish lifestyle in Miami was swift. She gained a significant following on OnlyFans, where she posted provocative content and connected with fans worldwide.
Once in Miami, Vieira quickly integrated herself into the city’s elite social circles. She became a regular at yacht parties, exclusive clubs, and events attended by celebrities and influencers. Known for her striking looks and charismatic personality, she drew attention from high-profile men, including musicians and athletes. Her connection to the Miami rap scene and her attendance at celebrity-studded events made her a familiar face among the city’s rich and famous.
While her online persona portrayed glamour and wealth, sources close to Vieira claim that she struggled behind the scenes with anxiety and loneliness. Despite her newfound fame and luxurious lifestyle, she often confided in friends that she felt disconnected from reality. Her family also expressed skepticism about sudden lifestyle changes.
“I just suspected because no one gets rich overnight. No one leads such a luxurious life overnight,” Vieira’s mother told a Brazilian media outlet.
Dark Secrets Resurface
Vieira’s move to the U.S. was reportedly a way for her to escape her dark secrets in Brazil, which included alleged ties to organized crime with her husband, Roberto Tersário.
According to the Daily Mail, Vieira and Tersário were among two couples behind a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme and a fraud plot that made more than 7,000 victims.
The ring was dismantled in June 2020, but Vieira had already fled Brazil with her husband a year prior. Tersário eventually abandoned Vieira in Florida and returned to Brazil.
On Vieira’s Instagram account, many followers have commented on her most recent posts after her tragic death.
While some send their wishes and prayers to her family and friends, others seem to corroborate the latest reports about Vieira’s past, even before that information had been made public:
“This Adriana was outcast with her husband from Brazil. They scammed people with millionaires and fled to the US years ago. She passed as a blogger and had a luxurious life with the money of scams. Feds were looking for her and her husband, and another couple […],” one Instagram user commented.
Mystery Rapper: Fans Speculate
Witnesses have reported that the atmosphere at the party was intense, with heavy alcohol consumption and possible drug use. Guests were seen taking part in wild behavior, dancing, and celebrating without a care in the world.
As the night wore on, Vieira reportedly separated herself from the crowd, appearing visibly upset. Friends say she had been acting erratically in the days leading up to the party, suggesting she may have been dealing with personal issues. The circumstances that led to her ending up in the water remain unclear, and authorities are working to determine whether foul play was involved.
Miami-Dade Police are currently questioning partygoers, including the rapper hosting the event, to piece together the timeline of events. No arrests have been made so far, but law enforcement has emphasized that they are pursuing all possible leads.
The host of the yacht party has been the subject of much speculation. Some media outlets have floated names of famous Miami-based rappers who are known for throwing extravagant parties, but no official statements have been released.
Fans and friends of Adriana Vieira have expressed their shock and sorrow at the sudden loss of the OnlyFans star. Many have taken to social media to share their condolences and memories of her, praising her for her beauty, charm, and ambition.
“She was always the life of the party, full of energy and confidence,” one close friend said. “It’s hard to believe she’s gone.”
As the investigation continues, questions remain about the safety of these exclusive parties and the dangers faced by influencers who move in these fast-paced social circles.
