4 分钟It was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be. But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact that Miriam is trans. A new six-episode investigative series from Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and The Apology Line, and from Novel, HARSH REALITY is the story about love, lies, reality TV and a woman before her time: Miriam Rivera. Written by Agnes Borinsky and hosted by Trace Lysette.

Dom passes long rows of desks lined with brand new apple Macs, clear with turquoise backs.
On each desk is a cup of branded turquoise pens with the name of their company printed on the side.
Brighter pictures.
In the conference room they have Dom sign a non disclosure agreement, standard practice.
Then they switch on a screen.
I was shown a video of Miriam.
In my world.
We all know Miriam.
We all know how captivating she is.
So I have no trouble imagining what Dom was thinking looking at her.
For one thing, she's beautiful.
The camera loves her.
She could be a movie star.
Straight, glossy black hair, the latest designer shades perched on top of her head, long tan legs for days.
But a lot of people are beautiful.
Miriam is magnetic.
At the time, she was 21, living in New York and working as a model.
You can tell from her smile that she's got a sense of humor.
She's flirting with the camera, turning and walking away, answering questions about her hobbies, watching the footage.
It's hard not to love her.
