As Peter Nygard spends the final days of his life in a jail cell, Ashleigh Banfield talks with his victims about what justice looks like for them. She speaks to his family about the irony of Peter dying alone after a lifetime of being surrounded by people-- mostly women. 

Growing up, he was always "Uncle Peter" to me. Peter Nygard was my best friend's uncle, but would one day become the world's most reviled serial rapist. How did it happen? What made him into this monster? We opened up Peter’s secret vault of exclusive pictures, videos, phone calls, messages, memos, letters… even his little black book. Together, we recount the last 40 years... growing up with him... living with him... working for him... and being swept up in the criminal and civil cases that brought down his empire.

In this episode of Uncle Peter, Nygard’s niece, Angela Dyborn, takes us behind the scenes of his corporate empire and describes what he did to the people who worked for him and to the family who’d been loyal to him for life.

The abduction of a teenage tennis student, the lawyer representing 135 Nygard victims, there was no escaping the wrath of Peter Nygard. In episode 3 of Uncle Peter, if it wasn’t brutal and violent sexual abuse, Peter Nygard was verbally and financially abusive to almost everyone who worked for him, and employees lived in paralyzing fear of Nygard. And we ask the question on everyone’s mind: how responsible were the people who surrounded and enabled Nygard as his niece Angela is hit with a massive lawsuit?
