Ep. - 1630 - BRING ME THE BEAUTIES: A MODEL CULT
Hoyt Richards was one of the world's first male supermodels, a Princeton graduate and 1980s fixture in the pages of the biggest fashion magazines in the world. However, behind the glamour was a secret life he could barely explain to himself. At 16, he met a charismatic Manhattan socialite named Frederick von Mierers on a Nantucket beach, and what began as a mentorship slowly became something far more controlling: a New Age spiritual group called Eternal Values, built around von Mierers' claim that he was an alien reincarnated from the star Arcturus, sent to Earth to save a chosen few before the apocalypse. Hoyt lived a double life for over two decades, jet-setting by day, sleeping on a mat in von Mierers' apartment by night, before he finally walked away.
