An American art influencer was found dead at a luxury hotel in Brazil after she and friends were accused of being visibly drunk and stripping in public just a day before she was found dead. 

The report came the same day as a final video was posted to social media by the 40-year-old which showed her rambling, slurring, and struggling to stay on topic.

The body of Hilde Lynn Helphenstein, known online as Jerry Gogosian, was discovered at the Rosewood Sao Paulo on Sunday by her plastic surgeon, according to reports. Her death is being treated as suspicious.

On Saturday, a complaint was filed against Hilde and friends for their drunken antics in one of the hotel’s restaurants, according to a police report cited by Brazilian media site Globo. 

The report said she and her friends made ‘intimate demonstrations in public that evolved into a situation of partial exposure of the body, causing embarrassment to other guests.’

The same night as Helphenstein was accused of the inappropriate behavior, she uploaded to Instagram a short speech that appeared to not entirely make sense, seeming to slur at moments. 

She offered advice to her 152,000 followers noting that they should ‘let the rich woman inside of you fly.’

Helphenstein went on to encourage her viewers to get their make up done while wearing a shawl and invent ‘things that you’re worried about.’

The day before she was found, a complaint was against Hilde and friends for their visibly intoxicated behavior in one of the hotel’s restaurants, according to a police report cited by Brazilian media site Globo. She allegedly made ‘intimate demonstrations in public that evolved into a situation of partial exposure of the body, causing embarrassment to other guests’ 

The same night Helphenstein was accused of the inappropriate behavior, she uploaded a short speech that appeared to not entirely make sense and somewhat seemed to slur at moments 

She added that her followers should just worry and take deep breaths before slurring: ‘Nicole Kidman, she has a lot of problems in every movie she’s ever been in.’

Helphenstein claimed that her advice would help the psyche and also noted that she hoped to worry about her husband going ‘to prison for tax evasion.’

The day after the upload, Helphenstein’s plastic surgeon found her body after he was unable to reach her by phone.

An empty vodka bottle, prescription pills, and broken glass were also inside the hotel room, according to Brazilian media site Globo.

The surgeon told authorities that Helphenstein had been using drugs and that a few days earlier, he had taken her to a hospital because of a suspected overdose.

A cause of death has not been released, and officials have launched an investigation.

Helphenstein, who had been in Brazil for about three weeks, was an artist and creator behind the popular Instagram account Jerry Gogosian.

The satire page amassed more than 150,000 followers and often featured the artist commenting sarcastically on the art world or her personal life within the industry.

In a deleted Instagram live video, cited by Cultured, she opened up about a suicide attempt, the end of her engagement, and going to rehab for internet addiction.

The socialite also published a Substack welcoming readers to dive deeper into her life beyond the ‘art fairs, parties, and memes’ she often posted.

Helphenstein said she celebrated five years of sobriety in the 2024 Substack and was also a survivor of Typhus Rickettsia, a life-threatening bacterial disease that left her bedridden for a year.

Additionally, she co-hosted a podcast called Art Smack, published a newsletter, and had plans of starting a television show, according to Art Review.

The luxury hotel confirmed her death, according to Globo, with a spokesman telling the news site: ‘Rosewood Sao Paulo confirms that the guest Hilde Ann Lynn was found dead on the afternoon of Sunday, May 31.

‘Since the observation of what happened, the hotel has provided full collaboration with the competent authorities, promptly providing all the information requested to assist in the investigation of the facts.

‘In respect of the privacy of the guest, their family members and the work of the responsible authorities, the hotel will not comment on additional details at this time.’ 

According to public records, Helphenstein lived in Coral Springs, Florida.
