Before “catfishing” had a name, Fox invented the blueprint. In 2003, the network unleashed Joe Millionaire, a dating competition built on one giant lie: the bachelor wasn’t a millionaire at all. He was a 28-year-old construction worker named Evan Marriott, handed a tuxedo, a mansion, and a fictional bank account.

Today we’re getting into the weeds of the fallout between Real Housewives of New York City legends Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel. While Bethenny juggles book deals, photoshoots, and brand meetings, Jill is caring for her husband during his cancer battle. Jill’s mad Bethenny wasn’t there to support her. Bethenny’s mad that Jill isn't excited for her success. It’s a perfect storm of bruised egos, miscommunication, and heartbreaking phone calls.

When Jennifer Del Rio and Josh Smith appeared on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, they were supposed to show the struggles of young parenthood. Instead, their episode spiraled into one of the show’s most explosive and disturbing stories. Behind the edited fights and tearful confessionals were restraining orders, police reports, and accusations that Jennifer had gotten pregnant to be cast on the show.
