The True Crime Society Podcast is back after a week off!

In this episode, we discuss three very different cases of disgraced influencers.

At her peak, Kat Torres had over 1m followers on Instagram. She was linked to celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio. Following ‘life-coaching sessions’, Kat forced multiple women to engage in sex work and they were forced to give her thousands of dollars of their money. Over 20 women have come forward and said that Kat preyed on them. She has recently been sentenced to prison for human trafficking offences.
Russian influencer Maxim Lyutyi wanted his newborn son to be ‘Superman’. He refused medical treatment for the child and believed that the baby could survive on a ‘diet’ of berries and sunlight. The baby only lived for one month and weighed 3.5lbs when he died. Maxim is now imprisoned for his son’s death.
Utah Mormon ‘MomTok’ influencer Taylor Frankie Paul has 4.4m followers on Tiktok and 360k on instagram. After swinging and infidelity allegations, her marriage broke down in 2022. By 2023, she was in a new relationship. In February that year, police were called to her home by a neighbor. While intoxicated, Taylor had allegedly assaulted her new partner. During her rage, she threw a stool which struck her young daughter in the head. Taylor has spoken about the events and said ‘As much as I wish that night had went differently, I felt like hitting rock bottom actually helped me in some ways. Made me seek help that I wasn’t getting.”
