A lot of media coverage has recently focused on Lisa Bevere, the nationally syndicated “celebrity” who was recently found dead in her bathtub. While her death was sudden and unexpected, some speculate that she may have been having an affair with her boyfriend, Rene Lacape, for several years. In 2021, she filed a suit against Rene Lacape, charging him with repeatedly molesting her for over six years. According to court documents obtained by the Associated Press, Bevere’s attorney, Robert Delahanty, said that in addition to the civil suit, his client was also seeking compensation for her physical and emotional trauma, which resulted from Rene Lacape’s abuse. The AP further reported that Bevere’s attorney, Robert Delahanty, said in court papers that the lawsuit “is not about money but about the hurt and the torture.” Although the extent of the injuries that Bevere suffered are not yet known, it is reasonable to assume that this could have an effect on her ability to stand as an active member of the court system.
For those wondering about her professional status, Lisa Bevere is a nationally syndicated writer who primarily writes about relationships, love, and beauty. As of this writing, she was the president of The Height Connection, an online organization that provides resources for those interested in helping individuals maintain or increase their height. According to her website, Bevere serves as its communications director. HeightGenetics, a website that sells an instructional guide about increasing one’s height, features an article by Bevere that discusses the topic.
The legal matter concerning Lisa Bevere’s death does not appear to be particularly straightforward. According to the local publication in her hometown, the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Bevere’s husband, Rene Lacape, told police that he saw her and Bevere’s friend, 31, jump from their fourth-floor apartment at around midnight on March 24. Rene said that he did not witness the accident, but heard the women shout “police!” According to the newspaper, the woman suffered bruises to her legs and back, and had been drinking previously. In a statement provided to police by Bevere’s attorney, Lacape denied that his wife had jumped from their apartment and that he had witnessed the accident; instead, he said that he saw the women swing over a balcony and then scream, before leaving with her friend.
