Megan Wants a Millionaire Contestant Ryan Jenkins Found Dead - Page 3
"Megan Wants A Millionaire" was immediately yanked after only a few episodes aired. And of course it was before you can find out who Megan picked. Ryan was slated to go on the third season of I Love of Money, and then that show was also canceled.
So what did VH1 have to say about all this?
VH1 was quoted by the Washington Post:
"Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on "Megan Wants a Millionaire" — an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1."
Hmm, so who didn't do their homework here? I guess 51 Minds has some explaining to do? One has to wonder just how indepth these background checks were of the seventeen contestants prior to the show? Just because you are a millionaire doesn't mean you shouldn't be fully screened. The name Phil Spector comes to mind.
Or perhaps 51 Minds is off the hook, especially if Ryan had no prior history of violence. Seems odd though that this would be the first time that he ever lashed out at a woman. People like this usually have a history of abuse. I wonder if any other cases of abuse will come forward and shed more light on his past. It's also possible he could have hired an accomplice. A man with his financial means could very easily have done so. It's also being reported this gruesome story will unfold further, as more evidence is brought forward concerning one of Ryan's cars.
So where is Megan in all this?
Did the producers of 51 Minds put her in harm's way? I'd say so. She probably had to sign all sorts of waivers before doing the show, so they would not be liable for anything, but this case is certainly frightening and has highly unusual circumstances, and if she has the right lawyer, as they say.... contracts are made to be broken.
So perhaps Megan will become a millionaire herself now via a lawsuit? If not for negligence by the producers for putting her in harm's way, but perhaps financial loss? She must have lost out on a butt-load of cash from the royalties from the show? And there will also be no reunion show. This has also put a big dent in any residuals that she would have received from the show marketing, like photos or appearances with her newly selected millionaire. Maybe VH1 had a spin off show on the horizon for Megan's life with her new millionaire. Maybe it's still forth coming. After all she did pick someone. But who?
