We completely depart the Feud series this week, beginning the first of a three-episode arc to unpack the real feud, which is little featured in the series – the feud between Truman Capote and Gore Vidal. This week, in a prologue of sorts, we connect Gore Vidal and Lee Radziwill, long associated before Truman, who are stepsiblings through marriage, thanks to Hugh D. Auchincloss. Hugh's second and third wives, respectively, were Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier, mothers of Gore and Lee. This one is multi-layered and involves so many spiderwebs.

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? An astronaut, a doctor or maybe a famous athlete? Today one of the most popular responses to that question is influencer – content creators who grow their following on Tik Tok, Instagram and YouTube and monetize that content to make it their full-time job.In a lot of ways influencing can seem like the dream job - the filters, the followers, the free stuff. But on the internet, rarely is anything as it appears.

For many Latinx kids in the ‘00s, the party crew scene was a safe space to express themselves as they came of age in the grit and glitter of Los Angeles. A space to make friends, forget about your problems and dancethe night away. But the scene wasn't always physically safe. There were shootings and police raids. Many adults saw the scene as gang-adjacent and the media fueled negative stereotypes of kids who were out of control. One of the teens who got caught in that narrative was Emmery Muñoz, after she was murdered in 2006.In a new VICE series – Party Crews: The Untold Story, host Janice Llamoca goes on a Y2K-filled journey back in time to her own party crew days to find out what this scene meant for teens like her and Emmery, and why – to this day – Emmery's case remains unsolved.

In 1912, a Black couple named Charles and Willa Bruce bought a parcel of land in Manhattan Beach, CA and turned it into a successful seaside resort for Black Californians. They were driven out of town -- by white city officials who didn't want Black neighbors. A hundred years later, a state law allowed for the return of the property to the Bruces' descendants. But the city of Manhattan Beach has yet to apologize for its actions.

A couple years ago, executive producer Adizah Eghan noticed an interesting trend on social media: everyone seemed to be living it up in Tulum, Mexico. Some were flocking there to have a good time, while others were seeking something much deeper; they wanted to escape racism and seek refuge with like-minded people. Adizah traveled to Mexico to experience the vibes of Tulum for herself — and also dig into why Black people are seeking refuge in a small fishing town south of Cancún.This story was produced by Adizah Eghan, with editorial support from Kate Osborn, James T.

For over 30 years, Danny Elliot suffered from severe chronic pain, the aftermath of nearly getting electrocuted to death in a home accident. The only thing that eased his pain was the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, which was prescribed to him by a doctor. But in recent years, it had become almost impossible for Danny to obtain fentanyl—even with a prescription. With illicit fentanyl made by Mexican cartels causing thousands of overdose deaths, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been cracking down on all sources of supply—including doctors suspected of operating illegally and over-prescribing. A week after the DEA's visit to Danny's third doctor in four years, he killed himself. His wife of 25 years, Gretchen Elliott, also took her own life at the same time. VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton first spoke to Danny two years ago for an episode of the podcast series “PAINKILLER: America's Fentanyl Crisis”. This week, he went to Danny's funeral and talked with friends and family who told a story of a tragedy that was as predictable as it was avoidable.This story was reported and produced by Keegan Hamilton and Jesse Alejandro Cottrell.

Miguel Angel Galvez lived a double life: at work, he was one of Guatemala's most influential and famous jurists, presiding over cases that sent former and sitting heads of state to prison. But at night and on weekends, Galvez was a scared man worried that he'd be shot down in the street. He had good reason to be afraid. Every other high profile anti-corruption prosecutor or judge in the country is in exile or in jail. This year, the same right-wing group, Foundation Against Terrorism (FCT), behind the persecution of other jurists publicly proclaimed that Galvez was next. But if Galvez left the country what would happen to his internationally watched trial implicating former military officials in the extrajudicial killings of 183 Guatemalans? Today, reporter Jesse Alejandro Cotrell interviews Galvez…and the man who led the charge to chase him out of the country.

For years Romana Didulo, better known to her followers as Queen Romana, has built a following of tens of thousands of people online behind a blend of QAnon conspiracies, COVID-19 denial, new age mysticism, the support of a supposed intergalactic alien consortium, and perhaps most notably, the belief that she is the one true sovereign Queen and ruler of the ‘Kingdom of Canada.' But in the past year the QAnon Queen's movement has gone offline, resulting in real world actions that began with the harassment of healthcare workers and COVID compliant businesses and escalated into an attack on local police forces in Ontario. Today, The Queen is on a non-stop RV tour of Canada, greeting followers and soliciting thousands of dollars in donations from her ever growing online platform. This has even led some experts to call the burgeoning group a cult. Now, some former members of Romana Didulo's inner circle, who allege that they were subjected to emotional and financial abuse, are fighting back.

Before Trump campaigned on building a wall along the Mexico border, in 2014 President Danilo Medina wanted to build one across the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It's part of the country's decades-long pattern of xenophobia and racism against Haitians migrants. Around this time last year, the Dominican Republic government also started deporting Haitian pregnant women. This practice has received immediate criticism from the UN and other human right organizations. Both practices are part of a larger crackdown in the Dominican Republic that is radically pushing the boundaries of anti-immigration policies. Producer Mariana traveled to the Dominican Republic to investigate how women are being affected.This story was reported by Mariana Zuñiga. It was produced by Adriana Tapia and edited by Annie Avilés.

When people think about Fiji, they picture a postcard paradise with white sand beaches and crystal clear blue water – but away from the luxury resorts, a dark side of Fiji emerges. In the past five years, crystal methamphetamine has flooded into Fiji's urban centers devastating the lives of thousands of people.

Earlier this year, Paulina Ramirez - a 26-year old woman from Sinaloa, Mexico - died from complications after getting a plastic surgery procedure. What Paulina didn't know is that her surgeon was not a plastic surgeon and that the clinic she was walking into was unregulated. VICE News Latin America editor Deborah Bonello headed over to Sinaloa to investigate how under the table plastic surgeries have become an industry of their own, leading to the deaths of Paulina and many other women who aspire to transform their bodies into a very culturally specific aesthetic.

flee Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion in 1979. Years of violent civil war followed, as well as the U.S.-led invasion to remove the Taliban from power in 2001. All this time, Hamdullah dreamed of one day returning to Afghanistan to help bring peace to the unstable region. When he was tapped to become the country's National Security Advisor, he thought he finally had his chance. That all changed in August 2021: the U.S. pulled its troops for good. The Taliban took back the country. And Hamdullah – once again – had to flee. One year since the fall of Kabul, Hamdullah is still struggling to come to terms with the fate of the country he loves. In this episode of VICE News Reports, Dr. Mohib sits down for a candid conversation with VICE World News senior producer Adam Desiderio to explain what happened in the final hours leading up to the Taliban's takeover of Kabul.

Tensions rise as the Indian Child Welfare Act heads to the Supreme Court this fall. Opponents of the law say that it discriminates against non-Native families and supporters believe that the upcoming challenge is a direct threat to tribal sovereignty.

In 2012 California shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant after decades of anti-nuclear activism, leaving the state with only one remaining nuclear plant. This meant that California started producing more of its energy by burning fossil fuels. So was the closing of San Onofre a victory or a tragedy for the environment? The answer to this question hinges on another: how much danger is society willing to accept to fight climate change? In this episode of VICE News reports, VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton visits San Onofre and meets one of the people helping to tear the plant down—a nuclear engineer who previously helped diffuse North America's worst nuclear accident. Keegan also talks to an MIT professor who says that the Russian army's weaponization of nuclear plants in Ukraine proves that nuclear power is too dangerous.Special thanks to Sarah Svboda, Ben Bishop, Lou Baldanza, and Amanda Mccormick.This episode was produced by Jesse Alejandro Cottrell.

Last Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to a sit down interview with VICE News chief political correspondent Liz Landers. But the day before they met, Republican Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida sent a busload of migrants to VP Harris' house and Martha's Vineyard. ‘There were children, people being put on a bus or a plane who don't know where they're going or where they were being sent,' said Harris.

Last year, VICE News Correspondent Isobel Yeung went undercover to understand how international business deals were being brokered in Guyana. This small country in South America has one of the fastest growing economies in the world right now. Newly discovered natural resources have attracted a lot of foreign investment from China and the U.S., placing Guyana in the middle of a tug-of war for soft power in the region. Recently, infrastructure contracts - roads, bridges, and a hydroelectric power plant - have been awarded to Chinese companies. In this episode of VICE News Reports, Yeung digs into how business is done in Guyana and uncovers allegations of corruption that reach far into the country's highest levels.

Moors in America believe that they – and many Black Americans – are descendents of the Moroccan Empire, which they claim once extended all the way from North Africa to North America. This would make Moors indigenous to an America that far predates the United States.But beyond that shared credence, the movement is scattered. Some seek only to practice spiritual beliefs while others maintain that being a Moor means U.S. laws do not apply to them. A few even use their identity as Moors to justify violence, theft, and fraud. Vice News' correspondent Alzo Slade takes us inside the different facets of the Moorish movement, to try and understand the alternate history they believe in, and why the current social and political landscape is making Moorish nationalism more appealing.This episode was produced by Jen Kinney and Sam Greenspan.

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, many wondered what living in a post-Roe America would look like. But for a lot of Native people, Roe has never been a reality. Though the federal government is obligated to provide tribes with healthcare, decades-old restrictions on federal funding have severely limited the provision of abortion. Organizations like Indigenous Women Rising have been advocating for reproductive rights and abortion in Native communities for years. VICE News Reports' Adreanna Rodriguez takes a dive deep into how IWR is filling the gap left by the government's long history of manipulating Native people's reproductive well being… and how Native people have specific needs when it comes to reproductive justice. Needs that are deeply holistic and embedded in their cultural history.VICE News Reports is produced by Sophie Kazis , Jen Kinney, and Adriana Tapia.
