The one-time Queen of MySpace Christine Dolce aka Forbidden has died at the age of 35. TMZ reports that Dolce had suffered from liver failure. According to the Dirty, Dolce died on February 6 but news of her passing didn’t emerge until February 24. That report includes the line, “You revolutionized the internet as we know it.”

Dolce was christened as the Queen of MySpace in a March 2006 Vanity Fair feature. The piece describes Dolce as “ushering Andy Warhol’s concept of baseless stardom into a bizarre new realm.” At the time of that feature, Dolce had amassed nearly 800,000 friends on MySpace, including Nine Inch Nails and Dave Navarro.

Among her honors at the height of her fame was being named one of the 20 Hottest Women of the Web in 2008 and a Guys Choice award in 2007.

TMZ’s report on her death says that in December 2016, Dolce was hospitalized with alcohol related issues. Dolce had been inactive on her Twitter page since August 2016. Around that time, Dolce was mourning the loss of her dog.

On her Model Mayhem page, Dolce says she lived in Huntington Beach, California. She writes, “I have posed for Playboy which was an amazing experience for me and I would do it again in a heartbeat but I WILL NOT DO ANY NUDE WORK for anyone else so please respect that. Please, no dating inquiries.”
