Amy Fisher's Son Faces Felony Animal Cruelty Charges
21 Jul
Summary
- Brett Bellera and Jennifer Armenti charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
- Cat died from 'involuntary heat exposure' or microwave radiation.
- Couple pleaded not guilty, awaiting trial on electronic monitoring.
Brett Anthony Bellera, the adult son of Amy Fisher, and his girlfriend Jennifer Armenti are facing felony charges for aggravated cruelty to animals in Florida. Their pet cat, Reaper, died in December 2024 from what investigators determined was "involuntary heat exposure." Probable cause affidavits suggest possible causes included microwave radiation or immersion in extremely hot water.
Investigators were alerted by a friend of the couple after the cat was found dead on the apartment's patio. A forensic necropsy indicated the cat suffered severe pain before death. Bellera and Armenti were arrested in June 2026, posted a $25,000 bond each, and are currently under electronic monitoring. Both have entered pleas of not guilty, and their legal cases remain active.
