Fame Comes with a Price: Fans Overwhelm Jail Visits for Jeremy Meeks
TL;DR
Jeremy Meeks, the 2014 “Hot Felon,” says obsessed fans flooded his prison mail and crowded his limited two weekly visitation slots, sending naked photos and money that kept his family from visiting. After his release he turned to modeling, but the fan frenzy persisted—some even traveling across the country—so he urged supporters to write letters instead to keep visits for his five-year-old son.
