Reality Vet -- Fiore Death Makes Reality TV 'Scary'

Former "Road Rules" star Mark Long has either been on or hosted just about every reality show on MTV -- so when he says Ryan Jenkins has made reality television "scary," we tend to believe him.

Mark Long

Long actually hosted the premiere party for "Megan Wants a Millionaire," the VH1 show Jenkins was a contestant on. He didn't meet Jenkins, but he says Megan Hauserman told him she never suspected Jenkins was capable of something so horrific.

Jenkins was wanted in connection with the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore. He hung himself on August 23.

6. The article said "He hung himself on August 23". It is always "hanged" when talking about a person with a noose around the neck. Dictionary dot com says; "to suspend (oneself) by the neck until dead: He hanged himself from a beam in the attic. "

8. agree with rhode/#7
"Hanged" is when one is suspended by the neck until dead, "hung" is for a side of beef to let it tenderize for up to a week or for silly braggarts about their penis size. (But who cares? The typical vaginal depth is only about 5 inches. So, why would anyone want to brag about having to have coitus from across the room, that's hardly intimacy!)

9. Oh, please! Don't turn this into something it's not! There is absolutely no conspiracy and/or correlation between Reality TV and murderers. I guarantee people are more likely to murder someone than they are to feel compelled to be cast onto a reality show. Just because some douchebag that low and behold subjected himself to reality tv and also just-so-happened to off someone now we're all wanting to point fingers on how this could have happened and how eerie it is that this airhead damsel from Reality TV could have potentially been in danger because of this man. Some people become corrupt, that's just how it goes, regardless of whether they're put on some asinine show on TV, and regardless of whether people "suspect" it or not.

11. People make the assumption that if someone is on a tv show, movie or in politics that they can be trusted. All it mean is that they have some fame attached to them. You really must think of them as familiar strangers.

12. It's not the t.v. show that should be scary. It's the people who come on the show. This guys was as screwed up as a soup sandwich. Beating women and thinking that that makes him God's gift. He would have done that to a woman, t.v. show or not.

13. First off, WHO CARES what this guy thinks?

Secondly, all he did was state the obvious. This bodes poorly for reality TV? Gee, ya THINK!?

TMZ, you can do better than this! With all of the other leads related to this story that need following up on (her 2004 conviction for soliciting sex? WHERE ARE THE HOWARD STERN TAPES/ADS? "April Vaughn?" Ryan assaulting strangers on MacLeod Trail!!? and Daddy's money protecting him! Why was Ryan suddenly yanked out of high school his senior year and then sent to an expensive private school?!), why post this waste of space? I want my two minutes back!!

15. There's still no concrete proof that Jenkins did it. Why do you think he finally decided to bolt on Wednesday when he made it to the border? He knew he'd be tried and convicted in the media well before his actual trial. Jenkins is being made a scapegoat because this is a high profile murder and the police in Buena Park want to wrap it up quickly without having to allocate more resources to finding the real killer.
If Fiore was working 9-5 and wasn't running around with all kinds of strange men, then Ryan would have been rule out as a suspect early on. And this definitely wouldn't be sensational news. Imagine "ex-wife of reality star that no one has really heard of has been murdered". Not exactly exciting headlines.
But Jasmine appears to have had many men in her life, went out at odd hours, and would disappear for long periods of time. So suddenly Jenkins becomes suspect number one, even though he was cooperative with police from day one.
They should look harder at Cardosi. Or other associates of Jasmine. Just look at her phone records, find out who she was talking to, and when her last phone call was made.
