185 - BAD VEGAN: FAME. FRAUD. FUGITIVES. w Laura Hooper Beck - a podcast by Sup Doc

We cover the Netflix series Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. a tale of manipulation, Stockholm Syndrome, and only tangentially veganism. It’s a four part series directed by Chris Smith (American Movie).

After marrying a mysterious man who claimed he could make her dog immortal, celebrated raw vegan restaurateur Sarma Melngailis finds her life veering off the rails.

This is truly one of the more baffling stories in a scam-heavy season of television, so we had to do an episode on it.

Our guest to discuss this is writer Laura Hooper Beck. Her work has appeared in Cosmopolitan, Jezebel, and she is a writer on Fox’s The Great North.
