Ryan Jenkins Found Dead
TMZ is reporting that Ryan Jenkins, the Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant accused of killing his wife Jasmine Fiore, has been found dead in an apparent suicide. They say he was in a hotel in British Columbia, where staff found him hanging.
There’s not really much to add to that by way of commentary. Tragedy begets tragedy. Of course, our sympathy goes out to the friends and families of Jasmine Fiore and Ryan Jenkins, as it has for the past several days.

marie00, I hope you’re not saying that her not being the picture of fidelity justifies Ryan killing her?

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. If you’re on the same boat as the “contestants” on these shows, take a shower and read a damn book.

Sorry for the deaths but I love those shows. VH1 needs to begin new taping in short term.
August 24th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
NOOOOO tell us who won atleast! just edit ryan out of i love money 3!
August 25th, 2009 at 12:08 am
I don’t think they should air the rest of the show. However, I think they should show the finale. Announce the two finalist, give a recap of their stay on the show, and then air the last episode. Ryan clearly wasn’t in it because he got married on March 18th, and filming ended March 30th. Everyone wants to know who won, and this would be an easy way to answer that, no one would have to watch the psycho, and the ratings would be through the roof. Everybody wins.

actually, they got married in March and their marriage was annulled 2 months later. they were not married at the time of her murder.
August 25th, 2009 at 1:07 am
If Megan wants her fans to know who she picked, she can announce it herself. I am 99% sure they are not together anymore, LOL.
August 25th, 2009 at 1:09 am
For those who are SO concerned about I love Money 3, VH1 has already completed I love Money 4 so they can air that instead. If you are STILL heartbroken, get a life!

VH1 & 51 Minds obviously don’t care about doing background checks, because in addition to Ryan Jenkins, who clearly had a criminal past, they allowed Brittania on the latest Charm School to appear on 2 shows knowing that she had been charged with attempted murder. Yes, that’s ATTEMPTED MURDER. Saphyri appeared on Flavor of Love, I Love Money 2 and WON Charm school while being wanted by the police (she’s now in jail.) Again, either background checks were not done, or Vh1/51 Minds just don’t care. Please don’t let them get away with this - contact them & let them know this is dangerous and absolutely unacceptable behavior. Much as I detest Megan, she could have chosen Ryan as the winner, not knowing his violent background, and ended up dead.

the wole thing is messed up and i feel for the families but why stop 2 good shows VH1 is doing nothing but bowing down to a f’d up situation.we wanna see the show’s>>>>

Marie00/Yvette/Marie, I do understand your concern over all the speculation involving this atrocious crime; however, I find it horrifying that you would speculate about her behavior just from seeing pictures and reading more juicy internet gossip! I can say she certainly was not an angel at the time she was supposedly in Mexico. She was still breathing then, am I right? Thank you for pointing out the obvious! Jasmine is certainly an angel NOW!
Jeez, how many different names can you possibly use to post the SAME exact message??
Just be patient about the future of the show. Who knows, they may release a DVD or something someday… I’m sure VH1 may be a little more humane than I originally thought. Someone will eventually spew the details from what happened on the show… There is no sense in being so hostile considering someone from the show just died in a horrible fashion. Go find something else to do with your time besides drooling at your tv screens. Go cure cancer or something!
August 25th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I never said they were married at the time of the murder. I said he wasn’t in the finale because he got married to this girl on the 18th, and MWAM was done taping the 30th. So clearly, if they showed the finale it would be no harm
August 25th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I think that is terrible that this murder happends and involve a participant of the tv shows of vh1, but the show has to continue!
Veo el programa desde Puerto Rico, y no puedo creer que vallan a sacar del aire a Megan Wants a Millionare
y que sea cierto que I love Money 3 no lo presentaran. Q mala noticia, me gustaria poder verlos. A Vh1 espero que tomen la mejor decision sobre estos programas de tv y mi pesame para la familia de Jasmine y Ryan.

My heart goes out to Ryans mother, and Jasmines family. Ryan was an only child, his mother loved him and little support for her loss. Let’s remember at this time a mothers loss and what she is going through. It must be so difficult for an intire country to hate your son.
August 25th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
i really hope these events help kill vh1’s “reailty dating show” programming.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I can’t believe some of the posts here. This was a TRAGEDY–a woman was murdered, two people are dead and their families and friends are devastated and grieving, and some people are swearing and complaining that they’re suffering because they don’t get to watch their tv shows? What’s the matter with you? I’m really surprised and saddened by the heartlessness of these responses.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I couldn’t find a blog for Megan wants a Millionaire, so I am commenting here. I only hope that Ryan Jenkins wasn’t the guy she chose. She would be best off with Al or Big Mike or T.J. Of all the guys on that show, those seemed to be the 3 that she is best suited to be with. I feel really bad for Megan and my heart goes out to her for all that she has been through. She is a beautiful woman with a wonderful, caring heart who deserves better than to be treated like this!
August 25th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
can someone tell me who won
August 25th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I honestly dont think Ryan killed her. I think it was a concidence. I hope they find him NOT guilty.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
ThIS WHOLE SITUATION IS SAD AND I THINK THAT ALL OF THIS NONE SENSE COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. VH-1 DOESN’T CARE ABOUT CONTESTANTS THEY JUST WORRIED ABOUT THEIR RATINGS, BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY CARELESS AND UNPROFESSIONAL THHING TO DO.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I LOVE MONEY IS THE BEST SHOW!!!! DAMM PLEASE RETAPE IT OR SHOW IT!!!! ITS A GOOD SHOW ITS A SHAME THAT GOT CANCELLED!!! NOOOOOOOOOO
August 25th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
i think that is messed up that they will not air the rest of the show…….
August 25th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
my heart goes out to jasmine’s family. I just wish the family had answers 2 why he thought he could just take a beautiful woman who was so loved away from so many heartbroken friends&family. His suicide just made things more complicated now. I lost my beautiful 4 yr old daughter in a bad car accident by a hit/n/run road rage driver. I will include this family in my prayers tonight. GOD BLESS!
August 25th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
To those who are more concerned about the cancellations and finding out the two winners of these two shows MORE then the deaths of these two people, you are seriously disgusting. A LOT of these comments are so ridiculos!I’m seeing more “Who won?! Can you at least tell us who won” comments rather then feeling bad about what’s been going on.
I like watching ‘I love money’ too but it was the RIGHT decision to cancel both t.v. shows! They did it out of respect for both of the families!! Think about what the family members going through and stop thinking all about yourselfs.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
OMFG, WTF IS WRONG WIT U %~~^)+!(+_^)&_&* ING PPL HERE WE HAVE 2 PPL DEAD YEAH 1 OF THEM MA YHAVE BEEN A MONSTER AND A MURDER BUT HE WAS STILL A HUMAN BEING AND ALL MOST OF U STUPID LAME LAZY _)&^@`~!$**+`+) PPL CARE ABOUT ARE THESE T.V.

Two thoughts 1.) “Innocent until proven guilty” we all (_&+$&$~+$#_(_^ ume he was guilty (and probably was) but since there will be no trial we will never know for sure.
2.) New reality show idea - a show where the contestants actually make some contribution to the world. We’ll cast all of the losers from the other shows and make them show how unselfish they are before we allow them to be on another self-promoting big money show.

can anybody tell me what ryan jenkins name was that new york gave him on her show?? i can’t remember what is was and cannot find it anywhere!
August 28th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I’m sorry for the tragedy, however why can’t the rest of America finish watching the shows, it won’t change what happened and if someone dosen’t want to watch them they don’t have to.
August 28th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I am so sorry to here that is so sad because what he did
August 29th, 2009 at 12:59 am
WoW Betsy! you really did your homework I didn’t even know that! I saw where vh1 said there thoughts went out to the Jenkins family. BS! The Jenkins family helped him escape therefore somewhat responsible for his death. He can rot in Hell for all I care. I’m just glad that Megan did’nt pick him. That could’ve easily been her. It looked like she was really getting to like him too. I hop VH1 gives Megan another chance at finding love she deserves it!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:01 am
he was on I Love New york too? WHAT??????
August 29th, 2009 at 6:38 pm

So Do I Still Get To See Ma Shows????????
Megan Wants A Mill And I Love Money 3?????????
September 3rd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
WOW! what a tragedy… My heart goes to both families affected… I’m out of words. However, canceling the show was THE BEST THING TO DO. No one wants to see that show continue with such tragedy in mind…atleast those who care don’t!
September 8th, 2009 at 1:42 am
Look people, it was a tragedy–but we don’t know them personally and life goes on. Just let us know who Megan picked…..
October 14th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
o my goodness. i saw the show a few times. i so sorry to hear of this news. we never can tell by a person appearance what really going on inside. certainly we do need Jesus.
November 7th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
