While this surely made headlines, it’s nothing compared to the worst scandal on reality television that proved fatal for one.

Taylor Frankie Paul knows how to stay in the headlines but for all the wrong reasons.

Is The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip Season 5 ever going to air? Will a new season ever happen?

What has followed has been downright ugly. Caroline Manzo filed a lawsuit. The cast of Ugt has seemingly not been backing her account of events.

It really looks like NBCUniversal will never give us this season The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Oh, Season 5 is likely in some form … but not with the Morocco cast.

Megan Wants a Millionaire never saw the light of day after a contestant killed his wife, ending the show after just 3 episodes. Contestant Ryan Jenkins almost won the show, but later was found dead in a hotel room after committing suicide. Reality TV has its dark side, with many shows filmed but never aired due to various reasons, including criminal activity and production issues.

Although entertaining, reality TV is a tough business. Even the more established shows like Vanderpump Rules are being threatened to be canceled, while Bringing Up Bates got the boot, largely due to The Duggars.

There were other shows that lasted even less on television. One in particular aired on VH1 over a decade ago. Megan Wants a Millionaire was perfect for its time. However, a contestant did the unthinkable, and millions were lost as production was immediately cut.

We're going to take a look back at what took place,...

Her show may be canceled, but Megan Hauserman is not taking the blame. The star of "Megan Wants A Millionaire" will be featured in a new reality show now that "Millionaire" was taken off air due to a homicide case involving one of the contestants, Ryan Jenkins.

No more detail is released about the new show but the source said it will no longer employ the dating theme. Plus, it may as well be an unscripted show despite Megan's request of having it scripted.
