Netflix's Bad Vegan Documentary Is Being Called Way Worse Than The Tinder Swindler

Netflixs Bad Vegan Documentary Is Being Called Way Worse Than The Tinder Swindler
It tells the story of Sarma Melngailis how she found herself in prison after marrying Anthony Strangis.

Netflix has dropped the latest true crime documentary and it's being called way worse than The Tinder Swindler.

Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives follows vegan celebrity chef Sarma Melngailis and her relationship with her now ex-husband Anthony Strangis, who she knew as Shane Fox.

This is the story of how one woman was so gullible that she let a man she met on Twitter convince her to take $2 million from her own vegan restaurant in Manhattan because he claimed he could make her dog immortal.

Yes, you read that correctly. Because he could make her dog immortal.

Sarma married this bloke and her life quickly started veering quite violently off the rails.

In the end, the high-profile chef, who used to hang with the likes of Bill Clinton and Alec Baldwin, found herself in a courtroom pleading guilty to grand larceny, tax fraud and conspiring to defraud in 2019. Yikes.

The documentary dropped on Netflix this week and people are well and truly blown away by what happened to Sarma.

When a mug shot is the first thing that shows up when you Google his name
