Once the world’s first male supermodel, Hoyt Richards walked runways for Versace and Ralph Lauren while studying at Princeton—but behind the scenes, he was ensnared in a decades-long nightmare with the cult Eternal Values. Led by Frederick von Mierers, who claimed followers were aliens from Arcturus, the group preyed on attractive, intelligent young people, using spiritual manipulation, expensive rituals, and psychological abuse to control them. Richards lost nearly $4 million before finally breaking free. Now, HBO’s gripping three-part docuseries “Bring Me the Beauties,” directed by Chris Smith, reveals his harrowing journey—and serves as a chilling reminder that even the most successful can be pulled into darkness.
