VH1’s Official Statement On Megan Wants A Millionaire
Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.
Update: We’re sad to announce that both Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 officially have been canceled.

What’s up girl?

This show was horrible anyways. It seemed scripted and made up. It was a waste of time. The only fun thing to see was Joe, and he was voted off. Ryan was creepy, but maybe he didn’t kill her. My condolences to the family.

VH1 Should do a better job with screen people be for these show start filming. I love VH1 but if show keep up like this MTV will be doing a where are they now on VH1.
Megan did pick this looser and is lucky she didnt ene up in a Suit case folded in Half.
How ever on a up note it would be funny as hell, if I saw her beaten up on the cover of some nasty mag. I think the should do a new show (Megan what would she do for a million dollars) That would be some good tv.

ok… we arent supposed to think there is going to be a 2nd season, stacey! and right now hes just a person of interest. airing another episode or 2 couldnt hurt anyone. if the family of the victim did try to watch it then they obviously wanted to. maybe they would of wanted to get to know more about him. i love how they call him a reality show star… umm it was like 3 episodes in.. i think that makes him a contestant. PUT THE SHOW BACK ON!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Ha I saw him on nancy grace too! I was like omg I knew it was that dude. Crazy #++*~~~$~~*@!#%~
August 19th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
I don’t think the show should be cancelled. Megan had nothing to do with whatever happened to that poor girl, and from my understanding, he was only on one more show anyway. Hopefully, VH1 will come to their senses and bring the show back on quickly before it loses its viewers.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Wow!, I cant believe what I am reading. Many of you have already ~^$(+@)`*`#+~@% umed he is guilty. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? This is what is wrong with society, none of us have all the details and he has not even been arrested, just listed as a “person of interest” simply because of the way he bailed. Look, most of you lable him as a killer, think about it, do you really blame the guy for running off right now, maybe he just wants to get a lawyer first since everyone is already ~^$(+@)`*`#+~@% uming that he is guilty. Let the courts and a jury decide his guilt/innocence. Until then, I dont understand why VH1 took it off the air unless he went far in the show and finished towards last. They should at least reveal the winner.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
I think its @#&^^_!#%_%!$%`) ty that the show is not going to be back on. I really liked it. Megan was the only reality show star with a brain. She was looking for money and love. I hope the show is eventually aired.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I love Megan! I’ve been watching her show for years. She may be shallow, but you have to be honest….at least she is honest about it. You know what you’re getting into. I read her statement… she advised the police of the couples marriage. Ryan married Jasmine in march after he was eliminated. Bring my show back! I can see why they aren’t though. it would be disrespectful.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I just read that he made it to the final show. He met that girl and drowned his sorrows to her. Then married her two days later. Now found dead in a suitcase , he lwas last seen drving to canada. Wow.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Bring my show back! I love Megan… so she’s shallow!? she’s honest about it!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
hey one of the contestants just killed a model Megan Betta get up out of their and get a real job.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
I bet my money on it that Megan did chose this guy and now VH1 is like wtf do we do now lol
August 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
hey one of the contestants just killed a model Megan Betta get up out of their and get a real job.sorry and that show was good
August 19th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Thank you VH1 for showing some compassion. I personally was having a hard time watching the show anyway- it would be way to creepy to continue.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I just read that he made it to the final show but wasn’t picked to be the one. He met the playboy model girl and drowned his sorrows to her. Then married her two days later. Now she was found dead in a suitcase. Last seen with him at a poker game in CA. He was last seen drving to canada. Wow.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Who won ??????
Deepest sympathy to the family of the victim’s family, also prayers for Megan.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
ha ha ha….. ooooh poor Megan. Can’t life just cut her a Break…
August 19th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
he looked like he was just weird megan dnt have anything to do with him, he has problems
August 19th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
STo the person who asked if she made a statement about this… yes, she did made a statement about this to TMZ. Google it. She said she would have never thought he would be something like this. That he was always calm and collected, and was very charming. He was one of the finalists, but she didn’t pick him. And he had gone to Vegas to drown in his sorrows after being kicked off the show, and that’s when he meet his wife - she was working there as a stripper and they married 2 days later.

Ryan is not even a suspect yet, he is only a “person of interest”. Sure he looks guilty, but VH1 has made a critical business error. I don’t think sponsors would pull their ads until he is *proven guilty*. Only then could it be considered tasteless or in bad judgement to Jasmines family. Until Ryan is found guilty he is innocent under US law, I would think business is business, and sponsors and VH1 could have enjoyed some incredible ratings from all of the hype.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:07 am
It’s not your fault he’s a scumbag.
Does this mean we get a Donald show now instead??? Pretty please???
August 20th, 2009 at 12:07 am
k so heres what you do vh1:
edit his face out
and put mine ;D
awesome idea i know.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:10 am
i dont understand? what happened?!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Why the #$%* did Megan get a show? Im down with VH1 stars getting dating shows but why a gold digger? Seriously? She puts them on challenges to buy her stuff and then probably eliminates them… so does that mean she keeps all this stuff they give her after they get eliminated? Come on!! Everyone diserves these “Dating” shows besides Megan (no offence)… and whats up w/ no reunion for Charm School 3 and Daisy of Love??? Come one VH1.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:31 am
To tell you the truth, maybe it would have been a good thing if Megan picked Ryan. That would be one less money-grubbing gold-digger in our midst.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:41 am
BlackHeart, you admit that you were never popular. I’m willing to bet you got picked on by bullies as a kid and didn’t know how to stand up for yourself. You’re an angry and bitter cretin so you have no issue with people getting killed. I hope one day you hang out with the wrong woman whose ex-boyfriend/estranged husband will come looking for you and wipe you off the face of the earth. You’ll be the statistic you laugh at and I will laugh at you.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:44 am
Hear YE Hear YE!!! If this man has ruined Megan AND I LOVE MONEY 3 for ALL the world…I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I need to know who won this show at the very least.
P.S. I want that poster of all contestants past!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:44 am
I couldn’t beleive when I saw the face that went with that story. I knew Megan was attracted to this guy. I was shocked. Anyway, I hear she didn’t choose him. Her woman’s intuition must have been screaming.
Sorry for the families…

Air the Show!
We want to know what happens. This makes it even more interesting. And it was so much more entertaining than anything else on your channel or the other stupid bachelor(ette) type shows. Now I guess I have to watch “More to Love,” which is soooo much worse.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:21 am
Megan got a show because we like her. She is Sexy as h#ll and fun. The over the Top act is just that, an act.
What happened to Jasmine Fiore is awful, but if they do this to this show, what happens when we find a problem person on the next show?
VH1, Bring back the show, or stop doing them.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:21 am
What happened??? I love this show!!! What happened??? Not cool! Do something else…just don’t cancel!
August 20th, 2009 at 1:21 am
That’s just crap! why kill the show? one has nothing to do with the other!

I didn’t know this show was already down to the finals just the last time i seen it it was the third or fourth show

Reality type shows purposefully cast people with personality disorders and mental illnesses in order to create more “drama” and “entertainment.” It’s our guilty pleasure to watch these ill people and their odd and outrageous antics. But it’s really playing with fire when you exploit mentally unstable people.

This guy was arrested for beating a woman and he was allowed to do the show? WTF? I don’t know who won (though I heard Ryan was a finalist) though I think Ryan didn’t win because I saw on the show Issue on HLN that he “married” the model on March. Megan is lucky she didn’t pick him otherwise she probably be dead. I know a number of people don’t like her and understandly so but no one wants to see or heard about her getting hurt or worse especially from one of the guys from the show. I don’t know what happened but I hope they catch whoever did this and if it’s Ryan then fry him like Canadian bacon. Prayers and thoughts go the slain model. Also hope that VH1, producers, and Megan learns from this.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:21 am
really?! why! that’s stupid just because ryan’s a suspect. at least let it air until he pleds guilty.

I strongly disagree with the decision to postpone the show. I do feel sorry for the family and the girl, and i do think that Ryan is a complete idiot, but give us back our Megan!!! As a Vh1 addict i need the show!

I understand why VH1 would take out this show for the moment but i heard that you guys were gonna cancel it entirely and i don’t agree with that i beleve that its a great show and it needs airplay….does this mean vh1 is also going to pull I LOVE MONEY 3 since Ryan supposedly won it????
