Truth is stranger than fiction...and reality tv stars know this better than anyone. They are personally intertwined with the world’s most extraordinary happenings, mysterious people and bizarre crimes than anyone else.
The truth is, while being a reality star and putting their lives out there does have its perks, it also makes them an easy target and more susceptible to criminal behavior.
That’s why so many reality stars have a story…it happened to them, their friend, their family…a house break-in, a hostage situation, adultery, kidnapping, armed robbery, financial scams, paternity fraud, identity theft and even murder.
Each week on the ‘True Crime - Reality’ Caelynn Miller-Keyes (Bachelor) will be joined by a reality star as they dive deep into the details of a crime they have a direct connection to. The who, the what, the why and the what ‘were they thinking?!’
True Crime and all it’s darkest secrets, are about to get a taste of reality.

It was an embarrassing display on the world stage, making the United States government look either dumb or indifferent… or both. A State Department visual display at the International AIDS Conference highlighting U.S. funding for HIV in several African countries, placed every single country listed in the wrong geographical location. Not a single country was in the right place on its map of Africa. You might be surprised to hear just how few of us can place major countries on a world map, hell, only 50% of Americans could find the state of New York.
