LIGHTS, CRIME, ACTION: VH1'S "MY TRUE CRIME STORY" RETURNS WITH AWARD-WINNING RAPPER AND ACTRESS REMY MA AS HOST AND MORE SCANDALOUS CRIMES

-----

NEW EPISODES PREMIERE ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 9 AT 9 PM ET/PT VH1

NEW YORK, NY - January 8, 2023 - VH1's "My True Crime Story" returns with new episodes of first-person tales on Tuesday, January 9 at 9 PM ET/PT. Hosted by GRAMMY(R)-nominated rapper and actress Remy Ma, the series follows ordinary people caught up in unlawful crimes ranging from drug trafficking and car smuggling to dark web identity theft and scamming. Host Remy Ma narrates each episode of thrilling tales, told in first-person by the people who lived them. The series sheds light on each individual's rise, fall, and atonement as they tell their unbelievable and scandalous stories.

"I'm thrilled for the return of 'My True Crime Story.' Viewers will get an opportunity to hear first-hand accounts and redemption stories of ordinary people," said Remy Ma. "These stories are relatable, giving them a chance not only to learn but grow as they watch these new episodes."

Here's a sneak peek into some of the new episodes:

After swiping $ 17 million in stolen funds, DMV diva Shannon Balenciaga uses her wit and charm to outsmart Federal Agents. She stays one step ahead of the law until she finds redemption and becomes an infamous Mother and Ballroom Scene Extraordinaire.

New York native Aisha Hall's big money moves earned her a net worth of $10 million. She takes fame, fraud, and fortune to a whole new level. That is until the Secret Service finds out, and she catches a 10-year prison sentence in the slammer.

Philly-born rapper and athlete Darrell Alston abandons his family values and dares for a dose of street cred by selling cocaine, making $50,000 a month. When sent to prison, he turns his home bread hustle into a successful sneaker brand.

"My True Crime Story" is produced for VH1 by Hot Snakes Media. Eric Evangelista, Shannon Evangelista, Naimah Holmes, Valerie Idehen, and Desma Simon serve as executive producers for Hot Snakes Media, with Remy Ma as co-executive producer. Eric Evangelista developed the show concept. VH1's internal executive producers include Todd Radnitz, Jubba Seyyid, and Melissa Tallerine.
