Kevin O'Leary's Boat Collision [1]

A two-part series | “Mr. Wonderful” built an empire on bluntness and being the reality TV villain we love to hate. So when his speedboat collided with another boat on Muskoka's "Billionaire's Row" - leaving two people dead, the public was ready to assume the worst of him.

Early reporting - and Kevin O’Leary’s own response to the tragedy - sparked suspicion that he’d “thrown his wife under the hull”, and was using his wealth and influence to control the narrative.

In this series, we go back to the summer of 2019 to trace the chain of events that ended in tragedy on Lake Joseph, examine all the evidence, and explore why conspiracy theories continue to thrive long after the case was legally closed.

IMPORTANT:

– If you know anyone related to this case, please respect their privacy.

– This series does not frame this incident as a "crime" - the charges ultimately fell under the Canada Shipping Act.

– This series has been pieced together from the public record, including court documents, online news sources and daily trial reporting.

– Our intention is to look beyond the headlines, rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding a highly publicized boating tragedy, and carefully examine the evidence to better understand what happened.

– Kristi Lee is not a lawyer, but a member of the general public reviewing this case through the lens of the open court principle.
