This is such a sad news day! First Luann relapsed, and now many sites are reporting dear sweet Annabelle has died! Annabelle was a much beloved member of the cast of Ladies of London. She was very proud of her relationship with Alexander McQueen. She considered herself his muse.
There is no information about the cause of death, but that doesn’t mean a site or two is not making stuff up. Annabelle’s Instagram account shows her enjoying the summer, traveling and hanging about by many pools. Her last post was on Saturday.
She was 49.
I’ve tried to confirm this story with any of the Ladies of London. Many of them have posted on Instagram today without a mention of Annabelle’s alleged passing.
Part of me doesn’t want to post this at all because there doesn’t seem to be any official statement anywhere. I’m going to trust the Daily Mail UK and several other sites that have similar information. Surely, People contacted her agent. But I would really love for this not to be true.
I hope this isn’t true. If I remember correctly, she has small children. Let’s hope it’s a hoax.
I don’t think she had any children. It doesn’t make this any less tragic.
I think you’re correct Twinkie…no children. But so sad. I wonder what happened. Tragic..
She doesn’t have children. You may be thinking of Caprice Bouret or Marissa Hermer.
A lot of other sites are now reporting the death, this is really sad and tragic.
I had just logged on to the internet to do some research for work when I saw an article about her death. I really want it to be a mistake or a hoax but the way things are going lately, it’s most likely true. She was one of my favorites on Bravo.
Oh, I really hope this isn’t true. She was my favorite of all the ladies.
? So, so sad.
Loved Ladies of London, esp. Annabelle ~ RIP. ?
I hope this is not true. I loved the show and I really liked her and was sad when she didn’t return for season 3.
I’m shocked! Annabelle was a very strong woman, physically and spoke her mind. She didn’t put up with anyone’s BS! When she had the accident falling off the horse I felt so sorry for her. She was a mighty soul and was beautiful woman. I hope this isn’t true.
I follow her on IG, and just saw a lovely photo of her holidaying by a pool. I was happy to see her again. What a shame.
I’m thinking accidental overdose. She was in chronic pain from her horseback riding accident of a few years ago. I do not think it was suicide because she was completely devastated by McQueen’s. Very sad. 49 is very young.
I thought the same thing… maybe she got addicted to those awful opiates and either took too many or mixed them with some other medication. Pure speculation..I know nothing about her. But I’m 49 also and it’s just so young to die and so sad.
Speculating about her death seems awfully cruel to me.
Yes and she had been sober for a very long time.
Please don’t speculate – her reaction to her dear friend’s suicide would not necessarily prevent her death by suicide.
Yes, she was in a lot of pain both emotionally and physically – but it could have just as easily been an accident or an undiagnosed health condition.
I was just thinking how much I missed the Ladies, especially with the recent royal wedding, etc.
She died of a stroke, so you look very silly jumping to conclusions @SouthernBelle
If this is true, it is just tragic. She was very sweet, and then had that terrible horseback riding accident. Hopefully, this is not true.
Really sad. I liked Annabelle a lot – she was my favorite during her time on LoL Still hoping this news is a mistake.
I hated reading that she has passed away. Out of all of the Bravo shows, LOL has been my favorite and I hated when it ended.
I hope it was some sort of accident and not past demons coming forward. While I loved her feisty nature, she always seemed profoundly sad. I would imagine that her accident, along with her still very raw grief from McQueens passing would make her susceptible again. I hope that she is at peace.
So sad to hear this. British news outlets are carrying the story, saying that was found dead in her home, so it appears to be true. I loved her on Ladies of London – despite her apparent outspokenness, she always seemed to have a very fragile side. Rest in peace, sweet lady.
Very sad news. May she Rest In Peace. She was the best part of the show.
I was holding on to hope that the news reports were incorrect.
But Page Six has confirmed with London police that a woman was found deceased at Annabelle’s address of residence.
Page Six’s story is a rip off of ROL’s story. ROL is the one claiming they spoke with a police source I don’t believe either one. They seem to be making up details that have not been verified by any credible site.
Which is why we come here
So sorry to hear.
I would think her chronic pain played a part…after her horrific horseback riding accident a few years ago.
Reminds me of my niece..itty bitty thing..who has had two spinal surgeries..she didn’t want to go hiking with her boyfriend but felt pressured…sure enough had an accident and is in agony and needs additional surgery.
Wish Ladies of London was still on..with Caroline Fleming
Please don’t have her resort to surgery again! There are a!ternatives. My adult daughter just found relief and is looking forward to a future, after spending over a year bed-ridden at 29yrs. She was at a point emotionally, that she couldn’t imagine living that way anymore.
I don’t know where you are, but I’m happy to share any info.
Read the Daily Mail. She sure had a rough time of it in her younger years, but managed to pull it together for a long time.
Such a sad, but incredibly life. RIP, sweet girl.
I still hope it is a mistake. If physical pain and painkillers played a part, that is horrid. Chronic pain can steal everything from you but your very life. I just hope it was not suicide. She was so distraught over Alexander McQueen’s death. I really hate to think of her being sad enough to take her life. What I LOVED about her was her ability to see right through that social climbing harridan Juliette. Bad enough to sour Londoners on Americans. But she wasn’t mean like Stansbury. Godspeed Annabelle.
So sad. She was seemed like really good people in the little we got to know her on LOL. Gone to soon for sure!
Ahhh no, she seemed like such a nice lady. May she RIP
She had a lot on her plate. She was still in chronic pain from the riding accident we all saw. So pretty and stylish – I did miss her on Ladies of London.
People has a story listing her difficulties since childhood. Including being addicted to heroin, which she kicked. That makes it even sadder that she had to go on opioids after her horseback riding accident. I like to picture her now racing across the sky on her favorite horse.
Jesus, she kicked heroin? That is fucking hard – my cousin is an addict in more than 20 years recovery and sobriety. He told me he was very grateful that H was the only thing he didn’t try – because he thinks he’d be dead.
Annabelle said H saved her life. I feel the same way. When you are so sad… It took off all the sharp edges off life. Until it didn’t… I am a different person now, thanks to a great therapist and CBT. But it got me through when nothing else was working. I would NOT recommend it though.
I remember her accident and as someone who became addicted to painkillers due to multiple surgeries; I remember watching her closely and didn’t see any use of narcotics when Caroline S. visited her. I realize there’s only so much you can tell from tv, but I do recall being impressed how lucid she was. I saw no indication she was taking pain meds, she was in so much pain and agony-idk. When Terry was dying one 24 hr period took eight 30 mg painkillers. I was trying to sleep-I’m amazed I didn’t die. But like Dorinda said “when someone’s dying there’s no time to sleep. I didn’t sleep the last 3 weeks of his life and for a week or so later when my son (rightly) thinking I was going to have a nervous breakdown brought me to the ER and a very kind Dr. prescribed me a limited amount of Valium. I promised myself when he died I would get clean and I did. It’ll be 2 years this Sunday and other than a little 420 relief am clean. It’s the most awful thing to deal with-I hope she wasn’t addicted it’s an awful place to be. If you are suffering please reach out for help-you are not alone. If she is gone RIP Annebelle.
That was a very great post. Thanks for sharing and a lot of is have been there with you
LisaK that’s very sweet-I felt guilty about oversharing. I appreciate that more than you know.
Good for you. It is very difficult to stop but you did. And it sounds like you have a good understanding of your problem and a wonderful son. Sorry about your Terry.
So sad she was a beautiful spirit of life
She was my favorite on LOL. RIP Annabelle
I feel her rep or even her own self would correct commentors on her IG if this were a hoax. Annabelle had such a sadness to her, but yet still graceful and captivating. I enjoyed watching her on the show, it was refreshing to see a woman in these groups be almost uninterested and raw to where she couldn’t possibly fake a chat or friendship. I hope she found her peace she was beautiful.
It’s confirmed all over the news that sadly, this is true.
Godspeed
Still . . . . . a little “pixie faced” beauty at age 49. Rest in peace lovely Annabelle. 🙁
She was my LOL fave too.
Andy mentioned it on WWHL 🙁
I was so shocked when I read the news earlier that I gasped. Gone way too soon. Rest in peace, Annanbelle
I remember her wearing a Alexander McQueen corset (boots too if I’m not mistaken) to a party. An absolute muse! A sweet but strong woman!
Peace always be with you Annabelle!
Depression & suicide don’t discriminate. The struggle is real. Keep getting support. You are NOT alone. They are not better off without you. Make calls!

I’m so sorry to hear this. I loved Annabelle, as others have said she was the best part of LOL. I commiserated with her after her fall as I had a similar accident. Godspeed sweet Annabelle.
It’s in all of the mainstream newspapers here, so unfortunately I think it’s true, they are unlikely to publish that kind of announcement without confirmation. All just state cause of death unknown. I agree it’s inappropriate to speculate. Such a shame, 49 is no age for this.
As a person who has been in chronic pain for the past 19 years and more than likely the rest of my life (20-30 years) please don’t judge and be mindful of your comments. Every day is a struggle. Physically and mentally. Be thankful of your health.
Yes, she was the best part of that show.
Oh no. The NYT is now reporting so it does appear to be true.
If I remember correctly her husband or boyfriend had passed away before Lady’s of London premiered. ? Horrible.
Really saddening. I feel like anything I have to say would just be trite. There was something deep about her, she survived a lot. Rest in peace.
This is so tragic.
I loved Ladies of London, so much so I even bought it so I can watch reruns!
Annabelle always seemed thoughtful and honest, especially about her own sadness due to tragedies in her life.
I hope she rests in peace.
So very sad. She was my favorite on that show.
Reports are she passed from a stroke. RIP
I read the same, they said it was a stroke and she was found thursday evening 🙁 How horrible, such a young woman.
I always liked her on the show, she didn’t engage in the nonsense.
I am closing comments on this post.
