Under the Influence small logo


A celebrity scandal can be the undoing of even the shiniest Hollywood star. But behind every famous death or downfall is a mess of destructive friends, unfortunate circumstances and bad choices that enable the crash. Under the Influence explores the bad influences that send celebrities down the wrong path. In each one-hour episode we investigate two infamous star scandals with a fresh perspective; looking at the negative influences and the contributing factors that lead to the wildest celebrity downfalls of all time.
