Miriam: Death of a Reality Star Final Episode, 1 May 2024, Channel 4
Miriam: Death of a Reality Star concludes on Wednesday 1 May on Channel 4, with the final instalment of its three-part series, examining the life and tragic death of reality star Miriam Rivera.
In the previous episode, the country was shocked when Rivera revealed to her suitors that she was a transgender woman. This episode picks up in the wake of that explosive revelation, as the contestants take legal action against the show’s producers, alleging conspiracy to commit sexual assault, among other claims. The lawsuit results in a media frenzy, with tabloids ridiculing and shaming Rivera.
The episode explores the impact of the scandal on Rivera’s career and mental health. As work opportunities dry up and the scandal continues to haunt her, Rivera returns to the United States, where she becomes entangled in dangerous circles. The episode examines the downward spiral that follows, including her struggle with addiction and her involvement in sex work.
The episode also investigates the circumstances surrounding Rivera’s death. Found dead in her mother’s apartment in Mexico in 2019, the official ruling is suicide. However, suspicions of foul play arise, with Rivera’s husband and family expressing doubts about the cause of her death. The episode concludes by reflecting on Rivera’s legacy as a trailblazer who bravely navigated the entertainment industry as a transgender woman, despite the challenges and bigotry she faced.
Miriam: Death of a Reality Star Series Final Episode airs on Channel 4 at 10.00 pm on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
