On Ryan Jenkins
Just to help fill in some details for the two people visiting this blog who don’t know what’s going on: Ryan Jenkins of Megan Wants a Millionaire has been charged with killing his ex-wife Jasmine Fiore, whom he met earlier this year, after he filmed Millionaire. Ryan’s whereabouts are unknown at this time, although it is suspected that he fled to his home country of Canada. There is a manhunt currently underway.
VH1 released a statement on the matter Wednesday. 51 Minds, the company that produces Megan Wants a Millionaire, also released a statement. They told TMZ:
51Minds was not aware of Ryan Jenkins’ record when it cast him on Megan Wants a Millionaire. Obviously, if the company had been given a full picture of his background, he would never have been allowed on the show.
The company did have in place what it thought was a thorough vetting process that involved complete background checks by an outside company for all contestants on its shows. Clearly, the process did not work properly in this case.
Although up till now we have remained silent regarding this matter besides the official statement, we will do our best to report developments going forward. The enormity of this tragedy barely can be expressed, so please bear with us. As we said before, our thoughts go out to Jasmine Fiore’s family, and more so with every saddening development we receive. There are plenty of places you can look for more details and speculation and speculative details. Here’s the A.P.’s latest take.
Clearly, our comments box is overflowing and there are very few questions that we’re able to answer at this point. Regardless of what other sources say (including websites maintained by on-air talent), no announcement has been made about the fate of any future programming, besides Megan Wants a Millionaire, which currently is postponed (as is its VH1.com online coverage). We will update you officially if and when anything changes. Some people also seemed confused regarding Megan Hauserman’s well-being. Rest assured that Megan is healthy and safe.
More when we can…
Update: We’re sad to announce that both Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 officially have been canceled.

i wont Megan Wants a Millionaire back

Why would they waste thousands of dollars cancelling a show because of one schyco freak. In my opinion, you guys are letting him get the upper hand. You are giving him more publicity than he deserves. You people can take my comment as you will, however, I don’t think that it is very logical cancelling shows because of one person.

this is so `%((^%_~(*$`@*!+)* ed! i want mwam back! like just keep showing it..yall are dumb! it was the only good show i watched! and i was really looking forward for the i love money show! but i guess not! ugh! and that myantonio show is stupid!

vh1 should of done a better background check then this wouldent have happen they need to think of the safty of other people but i loved the show hope it comes back on
September 3rd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
I am shock to see whom this person really was. Wow! but I think it was the best thing to do. Cancel the show and maybe in the future start another one. Otherwise, why would we watch a show that some spycho guy not only murded his wife but may cause harm to Megan. Lets be realistic, no one wants to see that. Besides it’ll cause too much caos and conserns. I feel so bad for the Fiore’s family
Best wishes…

OMG!!! my mother and i have been wondering what has happened to megan wants a millionaire and i jus now was able to get online to see!!! i am extremely shocked and saddened that somthing like this accidentally slipped through the fingers of the people at vh1… but i think a little more should have been done to let the viewers aware of whats been going on. i just noticed one day that megan wasn’t coming on and i had to go online to find out why. but u also have to take a hard look at these dating shows… i mean come on! they say they want to find love but it really seems like they want more fame! first they do the dating show then chooses a girl/guy. then u hear their opinions in the reunion show, u dont hear from them for a while then u hear that they didn’t work out so another show has to be made. and if u ever see the behind the scenes stuff, it’s not really reality anyways! they pik the people who are drama starters and sit back and watch dumb guys/girls fight over one person just so after the show is over they’ll get they’re own show! it’s rediculous! reality tv my `%%_&(!&_**%+++

like sarah says why would they waste all that money over 1 schyco freak. bring back megan and the millionaires. that is a great show and if u dont then atleast bring megan back on another show. have her join my antonio, that would really be interesting to see the chicks freak……………………
September 10th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
wow…i was wondering y they hadnt been showing megan wants a millonare. i am a big vh1 fan and i watch almost all the reality shows on there so, i had to find out if the show had finished… i am stunned that this has happend. my heart goes out to megan and of ourse to ryan and his family as well. he was one of my favorites and i was hoping he would have won her heart…well, thanks for giving the viewers an update on this matter.
thanks

it sucks!!!!!!!1 1. i’m upsad that vh1 canceled MWAM and 2. because they didn’t try to let the public know what was going on. i really liked the show and i was getting so into it. i want the show back or at least do MWAM2 or give the results of who won at the end. it really sucks. hopefully you guys do a new show soon that has something to do with Megan.

What does canceling I Love Money 3 have to do with what happened on Megan Wants a Millionaire? One does not have to do with the other, and who was goin to be on I Love Money 3?
September 25th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
You people are all so heartless and selfish!!!! It’s really sad that you all can’t just move on and get over that MWAM is OVER!!! How would you feel if someone murdered your friend, sister, mother (whoever) and you had to see this guys face all over TV reminding you of what he did to someone you LOVE! It’s good they cancelled the show because it would have been so rude to the family and friends of Jasmine to show his ugly mug one more week due to fans of the show. She’ll make another show I’m sure…Megan wants to be famous no matter what!

I can only say after watching Megan on all the previous shows - her nasty behaviour and personna made me committed to not watching her own show when it came out. Now I can say I am glad it is off the air as she should not be rewarded for being a nasty person. Karma

how did you know that we “two people” would be visiting….creepy
November 6th, 2009 at 11:18 am
From what I understamd is that Fiore had close “friendships” with multiple ex-boyfriends. Any guy would be jealous. Atleast give your man some respect.

This was a tradegy but there are so many live money fans out there that want to watch i love money 3.If it aint ganna be aired it should atleast be sold as a dvd so us fans can watch this great show.
December 15th, 2009 at 3:59 am
I dont know how to contact VH 1 directly but i was wondering if it was possible to put I love money 3 on dvd. That way we can watch it and we could be in sync with I love money 4. We as americans have the right to watch whatever we in our homes. I understand what happened with the young lady was tragic but if you put the show out on dvd it wouldnt be getting airtime on v.h.1. Just dont advertise him on the ad of the dvd. People make movies like pearl harbor and &#(&)@_$+%`^^~@ anic that shows deaths. Nobody dies in I love money 3. Donate the money to her family or to a domestic violence charity.
