Reality show execs: we vetted murder suspect. Do you believe them?
With his checkered past, a lot of people are wondering how exactly accused swimsuit model murder Ryan Alexander Jenkins got on VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire.”
But producers of the show about an all-American skanky girl looking for a sugar daddy say they checked out Jenkins’ background.
Apparently they didn’t look so hard.
According to the Calgary Sun, he was accused of assaulting a girlfriend in 2005.
He was found guilty of assault, ordered to take psychological counseling for domestic violence and treatment for sex addiction.
Jenkins is now on the run, accused of murdering his 28-year-old ex-wife, mutilating her body and stuffing it in a suitcase. Police revealed Thursday that Jasmine Fiore’s fingers and teeth were removed.
The model married Jenkins, who is worth about $2.5 million, in March after production on “Megan Wants a Millionaire” was complete. The marriage was annulled in May.
The show was cancelled after Fiore was found dead Saturday and police announced they were looking for Jenkins.
He allegedly got violent with Fiore during their brief relationship.
Jenkins was charged in June in Clark County, Nev., with a misdemeanor count of “battery constituting domestic violence” for allegedly hitting Fiore in the arm and will be tried in December, the Associated Press says.
VH1’s ‘Love’ reality dating shows have been notoriously nuts since Flavor Flav handed out his first clock on “Flavor of Love.”
There is spitting, fighting and enough F-bombs to sink a fleet.
51 Minds, the production company, behind the highly rated shows, is investigating what went wrong and how Jenkins slipped pass, the AP says.
But seriously, a show about nut cases is bound to attract nut cases.
What do you think? Do you think the production company was neglectful. Do they welcome questionable types.
