This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to Fayetteville, NC, to discuss the case of Macy Grace Ditty, an adorable little girl born to a narcissistic mother and a father who was away on deployment. When her mother, Jeanie, wasn't busy working out at the gym and cheating on her husband, she was allegedly beating Macy. When Macy ultimately succumbed to her injuries, Jeanie tried to pin the crime on her lover, Zachary Keefer. Zachary was cleared of all charges, including that of domestic violence against his ex-wife, Lisa. In all, Zachary served 44 months in jail for these crimes. And Jeanie? She is still free as of the time we recorded this episode, has a new baby, and is active on the dating apps. Jeanie is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Model Wars

Model Wars

On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
