Summary

Mary Payne chats with buddy Chris DeRosa of Fixing Famous People about "Rebel Royals" on Netflix. We didn't know what to expect with this documentary but we surely didn't expect a full blown charlatan grifter! This documentary covers the relationship and marriage of Princess Marta of Norway to a self proclaimed "shaman" named Durek (nee Derek) Verrett of USA. This guy has a wikipedia that is just wild and we question whether any of his health problems are real. All you need to know is Eric Nies (Real World) is mentioned and Sonja (RHONY) and Cynthia (RHOA) went to this wedding. Be sure to let me know what you think about this one! Post Recording Update: Sonja wrote Chris back and said she was invited because she’s friends with the Royal family from back in the day when she was married to Mr. Morgan!
