The troubled son of notorious “Long Island Lolita” Amy Fisher has been charged with killing his pet cat — possibly by putting it in the microwave, according to officials.
Brett Anthony Bellera, 25, and his girlfriend, Jennifer Armenti, 36, have both been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after their cat, Reaper, was found burned to death in their apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in December 2024, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
The cat suffered severe pain before it died from “involuntary heat exposure” — through either microwave radiation, being submerged in hot water or exposure to hot water vapor, according to a forensic necropsy performed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), WPLG reported.
Bellera — Fisher’s eldest son with her ex-husband, retired NYPD officer Louis Bellera — was charged while already behind bars on other charges, with his lengthy rap sheet including robbery and drug charges.
A friend of the couple had notified authorities of the cat’s death on Dec. 15, 2024, according to their arrest affidavits.
Armenti claimed that she found the cat’s body on the bathroom floor and believed he’d ingested cleaning products. However, animal care employees found the critter dead on the back patio in a massive pool of blood in a laundry basket.
After a long investigation, Armenti was arrested by police in Miramar on Wednesday and Bellera was charged earlier this month.
His lengthy rap sheet dating back seven years to when he was 18, including drug and robbery charges, according to records reviewed by the Daily Mail.
He grew up with his mom in the national spotlight after she became a tabloid sensation when, at the age of 17, she shot her married, 36-year-old lover Joey Buttafuoco’s wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the face in 1992.
Mary Jo Buttafuoco, who later publicly forgave Fisher, survived but was left with permanent facial paralysis. Her husband served four months in the slammer for statutory rape.
Fisher herself served seven years in prison before she was paroled in 1999. She married retired NYPD officer Louis Bellera and moved to Florida — but she told the Post in 2017 that she moved back to Long Island because her kids were “ostracized” there.
“My kids were ostracized in Florida. They had no friends. All the mothers thought their kids would get the Amy Fisher gene if they hung out with them,” Fisher said.
“Things got so bad for my [eldest] son, the school psychologist even suggested he drop out and get his GED,” she told the Post.
Fisher, now 51, later launched a raunchy webcam career from her Long Island home.
Her ex Lou Berella told The Post in 2017, he doesn’t “approve of what she’s doing, but we’re divorced two years now.
“I can’t force her not to do it,” he lamented.
