Addiction At 11, Prison Before 18, & Escaping A Pimp | Glynis Franz

2h01 | 05/19/2026

Description

She was making thousands of dollars a week as a high end escort while secretly living a second life in the streets of Los Angeles.

Meth addiction. Pimps. Gang members. Smuggling illegal immigrants across the border. Federal prison. Skid Row. This episode with Glynis Franz exposes a world most people never see, a dark underground economy fueled by drugs, manipulation, desperation, and survival.

Glynis opens up about working under a pimp fresh out of federal prison, becoming a “bottom girl,” navigating the dangerous escort world, and eventually building her own client empire while spiraling deeper into addiction. She reveals how she ended up transporting immigrants through border checkpoints, getting arrested by Homeland Security, and serving time in federal prison during COVID.

After losing everything, her money, freedom, apartment, identity, and nearly her life, Glynis rebuilt herself from the ground up. Today, she runs a recovery facility helping addicts escape the same destruction she once lived through.

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and impossible to forget.
