ComingSoon is excited to debut a clip from TNT’s Rich & Shameless docu-series ahead of the latest episode’s release on Saturday, April 23 on TNT after the NBA Playoffs. The series will cover a new scandal in each episode, with the latest being “Girls Gone Wild Exposed,” which looks at Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis. Upcoming episodes will cover Martin Shkreli, Brian Williams, Gerald Cotton, Clare Bronfman, and Peter Nygard.
The first episode takes viewers “beyond the ‘harmless fun’ of wet t-shirt competitions and booze-fueled Spring Breaks and into dark back rooms with Joe Francis, where girls were coerced to take part in actions far more sinister than flashing on a beach. The show documents Francis’ increasingly bizarre and violent downward spiral, which all played out in the public eye while he continued to rub shoulders with some of Hollywood’s most popular stars. With first-time, exclusive accounts, the two-hour episode uncovers an audio recording of a verbal altercation between Francis and his estranged wife, along with interviews from the women who say their lives were ruined and who are now battling to reclaim their identities by sharing their stories.”
Check out the exclusive Rich & Shameless clip for the “Girls Gone Wild Exposed” episode below:
“Fame. Power. Success. Money can bring it all. And drain it all away. From TNT and Raw (Three Identical Strangers and Don’t F**k with Cats), comes Rich & Shameless, a seven-part series of premium films that tell the true stories of the successes, failures, thrills, and miseries that accompany the kind of wealth that ordinary people can never understand,” says the show’s synopsis. “Using a combination of powerful interviews, unique archive, and atmospheric visuals, Rich & Shameless goes behind the public façade to reveal the dangers of great prosperity. Subjects covered throughout the docuseries include: the mysterious death of crypto millionaire and suspected con artist Gerald Cotton, Seagrams heiress Clare Bronfman and her involvement in a nefarious sex cult, the unlikely battle between Martin Shkreli and The Wu-Tang Clan, the disappearance of NBA great Bison Dele (formerly Brian Williams) at sea, fashion mogul Peter Nygard’s quest for eternal youth, and more.”
