4 Shares
William Rick Singer, the ringleader of the 2019 college bribery scandal, at one point considered creating a reality TV show. Yup, think a show about the wealthy like
Keeping Up With the Kardashians or
Bling Empire . . . but focused on college admissions. Singer is now the subject of Netflix s
Operation Varsity Blues, which unpacks his role in the college cheating upheaval that implicated the likes of Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Besides working with these TV veterans, he briefly appeared interested in show business himself, pitching a reality show about his business in 2010 a long time before he pled guilty to racketeering and other charges in 2019.
