The man is walking alone in the rain. He’s not pacing, or trying to cover his face with his arm, he is just slowly walking in the rain. He looks like he’s in the middle of a k-drama scene.   To his left there is a whole wall of reporters just silently recording him. Waiting to see what he’s going to do next. He gives them what they want. He collapses onto the ground and cries out to the skies.   “My wife!”   This is not just a random man having a mental breakdown. This is billionaire Fei. One of the “Young Masters of Beijing.” A group of billionaire boys who are known to be party playboys.   His ex wife, Barbie, has just passed away.   But why is he crying in the rain?   Wasn’t he the one that cheated on her? The one that was accused of being violent towards her?   And why won’t his billionaire mom stop trash talking Barbie on her livestreams - even after her death?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com [http://rottenmangopodcast.com]

In Brazil, this specific prison is known as the “real dungeons.”   Because once you get in - you feel like you’re trapped in hell until they let you out. That is - if you can even get out alive.   BBC reporters are there to interview one of the most high profile prisoners. Every single prisoner in there has been deemed a dangerous criminal - this one even more so.   She walks out. Thin frame. Short blonde hair.   She used to be a model in NYC and was reported to have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. What is she doing in here?   “Why are you in here?” - they ask her.   “They say I can control people minds. Change their brains.” - she responds.   “Can you?”   “What do you think? Can I? I hope so… when I get out you will see the power that I have and if it is real or not.”   “Is that a threat”   Did the prisoner just threaten the BBC reporters?   This is the case of Kat Torres - the Brazilian Instagram “influencer” with over 1 million followers that has been charged with human trafficking and slavery charges.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

It’s not the most captivating livestream. Ash Trevino is on the phone with her boyfriend and we, the viewers, are forced to just listen to their seemingly mundane conversations.   Out of nowhere, the 36 year old mom of two starts getting angry. She starts screaming -   “He’s innocent. I don’t care what y’all say. He is innocent and y’all are going to see that. My comments are saying RIP to those who lost their lives...”   Ash Trevino starts cackling. What is so funny? Is she laughing at the 2 teenage girls her new boyfriend killed?   Or is she laughing at all the other victims her other boyfriends in prison have killed?   Welcome to the world of Ash Trevino. Dubbed the “inmate hopper” and the “worst mom on TikTok.” The internet is collectively trying to get her accounts closed and are mass reporting her to Child Protective Services.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com [http://rottenmangopodcast.com]

16 year old Manohara is walking up towards the private plane. Her mother and sister are grabbing their bags from the black car behind her. She’s walking up the private jet steps… when she feels something. It’s a wave of panic?   A sixth sense? Something in her body is telling her this is not where she should be right now. She turns around and starts heading back down the steps when she hears footsteps behind her. 5 burly men come up behind her and grab her by the arms, dragging her onto the plane.   They slam her down onto her seat and refuse to let her leave. They refuse to let her family get on board.   The instructions were allegedly very clear.   Kidnap 16 year old Manohara and make sure she is returned to her rightful place in the palace.   To her husband.   The Prince of Malaysia.         Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com.

“New Parent Decision Coin.”   It’s a great gag gift for new parents. On one side it reads - “daddy’s turn” and on the other it reads “mommy’s turn.” When the baby starts getting fussy, you flip the coin, and whoever’s side it lands on gets to take care of the new baby.   13 year old Maddie sends the link to the coin with the text -   “We need this - can you get this for us?”   She sends the text message to her mom’s 37 year old boyfriend, Stephan Sterns. It does not appear that Maddie’s mother is pregnant… so who is the coin for?   2 months later - Maddie is found dead.   Her “stepfather” is arrested and graphic pictures and videos of Maddie are found on his phone.   Did he kill her?   Why did he kill her?   Was she pregnant?   And how did her mother not know anything about this?   Those are all the questions netizens have in the case of Madeline Soto.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com [http://rottenmangopodcast.com]
