CRAZED catfights, drunken brawls and sexy goings-on are the lifeblood of reality television — but when the cameras stop, things get WORSE!
Now in a blockbuster special report, GLOBE blows the lid off showbiz’s dirtiest and most shameful secrets, including top lawyers’ charges that greedy network executives deliberately prey on stars’ secret mental illnesses to drive up ratings, keep cast members enslaved and addicted, and engage in sexual abuse!
With the help of legal eagles Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, former New York Housewife Bethenny Frankel and pals are baring the horrors America doesn’t see on The Real Housewives, Project Runway, The Kardashians and other hits!
Frankel hired the lawyers to help unionize reality show talent and they have fired off explosive legal papers claiming NBCUniversal–owned networks including Bravo, E! and CNBC turn their sets into toxic hellholes filled with booze, bullying, torture, revenge porn and other nightmares! As a prelude to a threatened lawsuit by a “significant” number of former contestants and crew members, the lawyers’ legal notice spews shocking accusations that “producers deprived cast members of food and sleep, plied them with booze and covered up acts of sexual violence.”
“The sordid and dark underbelly of NBC’s widely consumed reality TV universe has remained under wraps for far too long,” the attorneys claim. “Please be advised that the day of reckoning has arrived.”
