Doomsday UFO Cult Behind a World‑Renowned Model
An HBO three‑part doc dives into Hoyt Richards’ rise as the world’s top male model and his entanglement with Frederick Von Mierers’ Eternal Values, a doomsday cult that fused Arcturian alien walk‑ins, strict rules, sex‑ and drug‑fueled rites, and a lucrative wellness‑gem empire; it traces the cult’s ascent, coercive practices, a Vanity Fair exposé, and Richards’ eventual escape, through interviews and archival footage that expose the human cost behind the cult’s empire.
