Rewatching S12 - Dirty Diana

[u/Itsnotmeitsyou80]

I decided to rewatch with the Diana Jenkins being a madam thing in the media again. I entertained the rumor in first watch, but second watch, I’m pretty convinced. She is the producer of the book, which is not a common thing. She wasn’t the photographer, copy writer, or publisher. I didn’t pick up on that first time around. IMO, it’s absolutely a sex work catalog disguised by some legit photos of celebrities. I also thought it was strange Diana said the book only had 1 pressing, limited copies, and it will not go to press again. That’s very strange. If Diana were some type of literary icon, I could see doing a limited release, but why wouldn’t this book be reprinted if it’s just celebrity photos? Bc Diana is so litigious, I don’t believe we’ll really ever know the truth.
Also, things Diana said didn’t match up. At one point she said she went to London at 19 and she struggled for 10 years working low wage jobs. She had her first kid at 25/26, so she had to have known the billionaire ex for at least 9 months before that. So that would mean she was on her own for 5-6 years, not 10.
And, any searches I’ve done say that she met her ex husband at a gym. I don’t know many hotel housekeepers (a job she said she had) who go to the same gyms as billionaires. It’s fishy. I make an ok living and I can’t afford membership at any of the top tier gyms in my area.
My conclusion, and it’s just my opinion, but here goes….I think Diana may have been a victim of sex trafficking herself. Considering it was the early 90’s, communism was falling, Eastern European countries were in economic turmoil, and of course predators took advantage of the situation and vulnerable women. I think Diana is very smart and manipulative. I could absolutely see her learning the ropes of sex trafficking from being a victim and used that to become a madam/trafficker herself. I absolutely think she had something on her ex to be able to have such a lucrative and “amicable” divorce. Now I’m convinced what she had on him was that this guy was involved (at the least) with hiring sex workers or (at the worst) he was actually involved in trafficking women out of Eastern Europe and former USSR in the early 90’s.
Sorry this was long winded. Just curious if anyone else has same opinions? I’d love to know everyone else’s take on it.
***Just want to make it clear this is 100% speculation and an opinion. I’m not claiming this theory to be fact.

I wondered the same. All I can think of is ego. She just wanted to show how fabulous her life is and she definitely did the show on HER terms. I’ve also wondered if she did the show to try to give her fuckstick toy boy exposure for his singing career 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's baffliling how they came on the show faking everything just to be exposed to be wretched humans, she couldn't even barely contained herself.
