“One day, I woke up and suddenly found out that our family, our company, even our family photos were produced in this documentary without us,” Leviev said. “It was a real shock, but it was also really sad to see what these women did and how this man managed to manipulate them. He assumed the form of CEO of this company, It was very unfortunate, and we felt really sorry for these girls. But I also felt proud that they all came forward to talk about it in front of the whole world to try and fight this man.

“We’ve been trying to fight him for years, and we just couldn’t stop him,” she said. “We didn’t know how to stop him. The fact that his story finally came out in this Netflix documentary only proved that he couldn’t get away with his lies. I thought these ladies had taken their share in.” It’s something so daring. Story, this humiliating experience. I wanted to support them. I thought together we could create something where they could benefit from.”

“I think it’s important to point out that he didn’t just cheat on women,” Sjöholm explained. “A cheater is going to take advantage of every opportunity, and it’s not just women. And people are ashamed to speak up, so they get away with it. With fraud, the victims are usually to blame. Like, how could they do that to you?

“A lot of people still have this misconception that we’ve fallen for his money,” Charlotte said. “The truth is, I thought I really had an affair with him. But a cheater is like a chameleon. They change their complexion. They change their personality with everyone else. Everyone thinks we should.” He fell in love and, within a few days, we were sending him money. But that’s not true. For example, in my case, I was already with him for seven months when he started asking for money. People Calling us gold diggers, but I think I would be the worst gold digger in the world if I gave all my money!”
