There is a podcast called Distorted View, a podcast that finds the worse of the worse in gross shit online/tv/news, they covered Steven Assanti when he was on TLC.
It was a month long saga of all things about this guy that was well recieved (and given that this show usually features audio of guys smoking meth through their dickholes, it should give you an idea how disgusting Assanti is) to this day the show has given endless sound drops. Updates on Assanti:
-Still addicted to heroin/opioids
-Got married recently although there has been debate back and forth if he "faked" (as in media stun, marraige license is legit) it. Either way he convinced some THOT to make out with him on camera, something no amount of money can wash the shame of.
-Assanti is both suing TLC and trying to negotiate another season. Yes its as funny as it sounds.
