“The Heiress Who Hu$tled Hollywood” | Lipstick & Lies Ep. 005

In this episode of Lipstick & Lies, host Jami Rice walks co-host Melissa Moore through her own personal story about the time she met a wealthy heiress ..who turned out to be a prolific scam artist. It was 2018 when Jami shook hands with Mary Carole McDonnell, a Los Angeles based CEO and wealthy heiress who’d soon inherit multi-millions of dollars from her family’s trust. Only, everything Mary Carole had told people about herself for decades was a lie. She wasn’t a wealthy heiress ..even worse, she was a highly skilled con artist who’d scammed people and banking institutions out of over $50 million dollars. This wild story involves a phony heiress, a kidnapping for ransom lie, a controversial Beverly Hills entertainment lawyer, a shocking and mysterious death, and FBI investigation, and the Michael Jackson child abuse scandal. Though it seems like this story was ripped straight out of a movie, it’s all true. Jami breaks down all the details of this stranger than fiction story with all of the inside information you’d expect from someone who lived through it.
