Former adult performer Nicole Clitman died on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. Although originally from a small town in Illinois just south of Chicago, she was working and living in Maryland. A celebration of her life is being held for her friends and family on Wednesday, March 20th at her hometown of Decatur, Illinois, where her family still lives.
She was only in the industry for about a year from 2016-2017, and during that time did less than 50 scenes. Those who knew her spoke very highly of her, calling her one of the sweetest people they’ve ever known.
One of her friends who knew her outside of the adult industry had these kind words to say about her friend who has passed.
I just found out that my beloved (NICOLE) died. ? I don’t even know, what to say! ??? She has touched the lives of SO many, SO deeply… That I can’t very well say, that she was “my” (NICOLE). But I think, a LOT of us, feel that way! God bless (NICOLE’s) family, and friends. ?? Let us keep her in our hearts ALWAYS – we must always remember all of the good times and to talk about them – to keep her alive, in our hearts!! Our loss will be deeply mourned – and she will be DEEPLY missed! ? But, if there is a Heaven – I KNOW she is actually in a better place, now! ? We ALL love you – Shelby!!! ?
Another one of friends had this to say …
After leaving the adult industry Nicole Clitman went on to work in the medical field as a medical assistant.
Her unexpected death at only 27 years old has her friends and family reeling. Her cause of death is currently unknown but many have made mention that she has suffered from depression for years.
Nicole Clitman meant the world to so many, both inside the adult industry and out. She was sweet, thoughtful, talented and funny and she is gone way too soon.
Please join us in wishing her family the best during this awful time in their life.

Its sad when someone so young passes on.
Yes, it is, Karma. May Nicole RIP. Obviously I didn’t know her but someone passing away so young is tragic. Why does it have to be people like her and not Riley Reynolds, War Machine, Scottie Ohanian and Shy Love. Thank you Sekhmet for posting this.
She is as beautiful as Nicole Kidman. A very sweet woman who deserves a lot of love.
Hi, I’d like to hear from Nicole Clitman (real name Shelby Reneé Barrett). There are news on the internet that report that she died in 2019 but I would like to ask if you know the place where she died and the causes and who found her body. In your opinion is it true that she is dead or could it be that she preferred to disappear and hide to make everyone forget her past in the porn industry?
