Summary

If Chippendales conjures up images of shirtless men, breakaway pants, and Bachelorette Parties, we get it.  But, there is so much more… In fact, there is MURDERRRRRR.  

If you saw Welcome to Chippendales, you know the dark salacious story of jealousy and murder that is a part of the Chippendales Killer Thriller tale.

We have an inside source with stories that have not been told before.  This is just the beginning of the Chippendales drama.

Former Chippendales Producer, Jay Schwartz, tells all!
