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.

wow my heart goes out to his family and friends.
it is crazy about this hole thing. Well can you please bring back megan wants a millionaire and you can put i love money 3 on now or something like that.
:) :(
This proves that these “Of Love” shows have gone too far in bringing in weird and unstable contestants for ratings purposes. VH1 makes millions of dollars from these shows. It’s all fun and games until somebody get’s hurt- or worse loses their life. Who knows? If this sicko wouldn’t have gotten this type of exposure the young lady who tragically lost her life wouldn’t have known who this man was and probably wouldn’t have been so intrigued with him. I’m not saying that his behavior was VH1 or 51 Mind’s fault but it’s time to stop all these “love and love money connection” shows and get another gig! The bible states “For the Love of Money is the Root of all Evil”. I’ve yet to see the good in these shows.
What a tragedy for both the Fiore and jenkins families, I believe VH-1 showed good taste in postponing the shows until the families can bury their loved ones but why cancel the shows? What good does it do anyone, for those who don’t want to watch turn the channel!! It seems like Megan and the other “castaways” are losing out on the oppertunity to further their careers!! I think Megan rocks, and I don’t think VH-1 did anything wrong in casting this psycho no background check in the world could have predicted what this guy was capable of, if anything this could be an oppertunity to send a message about domestic violence, how about @ the end of every episode there is some sort of hotline #? (Just a thought) and will we ever be able to find out who Megan did pick, as the choice was made before this terrible crime was commited? “MEGAN… KEEP YOUR HEAD UP GIRL MARYLAND BAIL BOND GIRLS LOVE YOU!!!!!
I just want to know who she picked?
i hope miss my show iam see the show i want bring back magen want to millonars and i love money 3 on air.
I love megan wants a millionaire, its a sad situation but don’t make it even more sad by not letting us enjoy a really great show, I think this might be the best show VH1 has ever done (other than I love New York of course)!
okok the show got cancelled but who did she choose at the end i know we all want to know
so then who won at least give us he cant be on all the show
Well, this is tragic and all but… WHO WON?!?
Why can’t you put on both shows and just cut out Ryan’s parts (unless of course, the guy won both or was a finalist).. At the very least we deserve to know who won the show. This is really unfair to viewers to cancel the shows because of one person’s poor decision.

Ryan WON I Love Money 3 and was a finalist in MWAM! Now, why are people crying over these shows? Seriously? WHY? I’m embarrassed we’re part of the same species!
WTF are they going to do when they air the show? Write “RIP Ryan” at the end? That would be a slap in the face to many since the man was a monster!
You people have no logic… and judging by all your crying over these stupid shows… I’m not surprised. Bunch of losers!
I THINK ONCE THINGS ARE SETTLED THEY SHOULD AT LEAST SHOW THE FINALES SO WE ALL KNOW WHO WINS!
What a sad situation. I must say MWAM has to be THE best show I’ve watched on VH1. I just wish they’d let us know who she picked….. but I’ve been thinking no wonder in the beginning of the show he told her there would be no pre-nup if she chose him…. that’s because he was psycho. I am just glad Megan is safe and this didn’t happen to her. PLEASE TELL US WHO MEGAN PICKED…!!!!!!!!!
I’m a BIG FAN of the I love money!! I think you should show that and cut the meg wants to be a millionaire it wasnt that great.. but dont cut one of the best show that comes on VH1 bc of what ryan did.. just think of all the vh1 fans… And Megan is just a gold digger kinda glad her show got cut..
I bet Megan is freaked out knowing she kissed and went on dates with a murderer. My heart goes out to the family of the victim and the poor girl who he killed. On another note…this sucks, I really liked this show and I like her too. Maybe they need to do more thorough background check next time.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WONDERING!! Who won MWAM??
i think this tv show is horrible and i think megan is hideous and very %_)#*&(%~&+!&@!% y. im glad it is canceled.
i saw one episode and i will never again watch it. daisy of love was good, but that was it.
they really need to quit all these weird love shows..
and if they insist on keeping them make them worth watching and make sure the “contestants” are very well picked and not picked at random and end up being some crazy murderer. great job VH1.
oh, and i dont understand why would some famous girl like megan go on a tv show to find a “millionaire”? isnt she rich enough all ready? and why would they make a show for her to use rich guys?
very poorly picked out/put together.

OMG!!! People, wise up! Ofcoarse Ryan won. Megan picked him. He acted like a psychopath. He had everyone fooled, and Megan isn’t the brightest crayon in the box so it doesn’t take much to fool her. I NEVER liked him, I saw this from a mile away. He seemed like a self centered person with a personality disorder. Oh he probably had the i love $$ folks in the dark too! And he’s not the only guy on the show who seemed like a stalker/murderer, ie: stalker movie maker, or stalker slobbery kissing gay guy. No one screened these men or else they wouldn’t put a GAY guy on to win megans heart, and the movie maker blatently verbalized his stalking of megan and all her friends.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Money isn’t everything Megan. I knew carma was coming your way!
You guys suck! Megan is a total c..t; but why not show the end of it. you guys let this psycho through; why not show the outcome? Was she the stupid blonde that checked him in that flea bag hotel. Was he really a millionare or just a faker? Don’t be such pansey’s and finish it!!!
Are you all kidding???!!! Did you not see this creep from a mile away?? Sorry Megan; but you deserve this kind of *&*)(+(_+_%@%`@ you goldigger. I hope you live in poverty from now to the end of time & have to walk sunset strip to survive; however, I think there are many women who would make more money than you! You are a materialistic sub-human that I wouldn’t pee on if you were on fire. I’m sure you will figure out some way to turn these comments to a positive. God save your soul!!
Megan, how could this production not see & review this guys past? You are very lucky it wasn’t you. Canceling the remainder of the show accomplished nothing; except to piss a lot of people off. Congrat VH1; no one in this household will ever watch again. PS. Megan, try looking for someone with a heart not just money. You will lose and karma is a *~#(%#`~%_`!`*_`*
NOOO! I can’t believe both shows are being canceled!! Put them on DVD for us that are loyal viewers!? OR Give Frank the Entertainer his own show please! lol
i DON’T think that Ryan Jenkins had anything to do with the murder of his ex-wife, and now that he’s deceased, there’s no real way of knowing. So in his memory and religious VH1 fans, please air the shows, Megan and I love money3.. unless there are some unusual behavior or crime clues in them…..then in that respect you should air them when the case is closed… they’ll just end up getting leaked anyways, like everything else
wait, so is it going to be cancelled completely or is it just postponed to be curtious to the families and friends of the losses that have occured??…also, is it ever going out on dvd so that we can watch every episode…sorry but i’m a fanatic
Good Job VH1!! Thank you for canceling both shows! It was the right thing to do.
he is a ************************
Why not turn this huge negative into a positive? Air the shows and donate a portion of the proceeds to help victims of domestic violence. This would be a much better solution than burying these shows!

I love money 3 was pulled because Ryan was a contestant on the show.
Okay Megan Wants A Millionaire was cancelled because he killed a girl and Im not so mad that the show got cancelled but i still want to know who won because although i didnt enjoy it too well i still watched it! And what the ~###_+(+$@!%#%)) is up with cancelling I Love Money 3?? I heard that Ryan was on that show and that’s why they have to cancel it!! And fine whatever but why the ~###_+(+$@!%#%)) would they even let Megan Wants A Millionaire contestants go on that damn show?? They’re already millionaires how much more ~###_+(+$@!%#%)) ing money do they need???????????????????? Now that is just waaay to ~###_+(+$@!%#%)) ing stupid for him to even go on that show. Thanks a lot…sarcasm
i agree with all of the other viewers….it’s sad, but why end a great show….put it on dvd or bring it back, i mean at least give us the dvd…..then if anyone doesn’t want to watch it….then they won’t have to!!! not only megan’s but i love money 3 WHAT!?!?!? he’s obviously on that show too, so that’s why it’s cancelled, but really two of your best shows……COME ON VH1!!!! BRING THEM BACK!!!!
wow i really liked the show, too bad
i really wanted to see i love money3 and see who was going to be init man that sucks i hate it
Well at least Megan made it clear she wanted his millions.Jasmine played that weirdo and got caught according to the evidence!She had a boyfriend the whole time.while she was happily checking into a luxery hotel room with him and making videos booty dancing for ryan,she was also texting her main man robert how she loved him and was off to be with him right after using and sleeping with weirdo!Jasmine was greedy,Ryan was a Weirdo,and Megan thank goodness you are ok’
im not agreed with the cancellation of both show, i dont understant what does the incident have to do with both shows. please bring back megan wants a millionare and i love money 3 if not vh1 is going to suck….
Megan can still be a millionaire. Sue all these companies involed… can u imagime what she is going thru? she is surely stressed out,,Vh1 needs to run the rest of megans show on vh1 on line also I love of money and pay for all the funeral cost and pay meagan for this mess.
I tried to put this comment on Megan’s lil tweet page and it was not allowed for some reason so I am gonna try again on here. I WANT I LOVE MONEY!!!! I thought that show was built around people who don’t really have alot of money to begin with (you know like our friend who live’s in his parents basement) sooo they compete for MONEY correct? So who’s bright idea was it to put a man on I Love Money who has money falling out of his butt to begin with???? Bring back I LOVE MONEY!!! P.S. Thanks Megan you have been nothing but a pain for VH1 and in my opion you need to grow up twit!
I agree ,I am also sorry to all family and friends of the victum.and sorry to the family of Ryan Jenkins.
But we still want to see both shows it is not fare.People die or are murdered evryday and there movie are still on the air, VH1 this is not cool. Pls put both shows back on!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sorry for all pple involved in this tragedy. But bring back the show MWAM ans I love money 3 so not fare to the viewers
Hello people….. they are not airing I LOVE MONEY 3 obviously because Ryan Jenkins was on that show too. VH1 doesn’t want it to look like they approve of this murderer, it will make people talk bad about them more than they already are. VH1 can at least tell the public who won on MEGAN’s show…. they owe it to all their viewers. Megan seems like she knows more than she is saying about ryan. She was talking to him even after he wed with jazmin. Come on megan and VH1 just tell the truth already!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with Jasmine’s family. This is a very unfortunate tragedy. Although I don’t wish death on anyone, I’m glad he killed himself.
Whether they were forced to cancel the shows or they made the decision on their own I think it’s a good idea that these shows not be aired. Some people just have nothing better to do with their time than waste it watching a piece of trash murderer on television. What is this society coming to? Peace be with the victim’s family.
Ryan won I Love Money 3, 20/20 said so and I heard TJ won on Megans show.My heart goes out to these families in this love triangle gone bad. Good luck Megan
I thought they cancelled it because it was one of the dumbest shows ever. Sad to hear that it got cancelled for a better reason. This show made me yawn. And does My Antonio. Worst. Sunday night shows. Ever.
Just because ryan died don’t me you can’t air megan wants a millionaire or i love money 3 look at heath ledger who died when they made batman the dark night and it was the best batman in a while and they still show bernie mac shows even though he passed at least tell us the winner of both shows.
i loved mwam and i love money. i fell bad for both familys no one realy nows what happened through all the evadince it doesnt show the whole pic. of what happened so i dont se how anyone caan pass judgement on anyone. i havent seen thewhole story and i dont want to the world has nothing better to do then snoop through others pain and suffering. and yes i do like the shows, i like to watch everyone try to find love ive had a hard time my self .
just bring the shows back please.
and if you have a coment for me look me up on myspace at nikki wofford or nicholejr09@gmx.com or im 17 and live in anniston al.
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!
