Stan’s new reality series, Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money, quickly grabbed viewers’ attention right from its Friday night premiere, largely due to the intense drama between its cast members.
The first episode ended in tears when two social media stars, Ruby Drew and Mia Bailey, got into a fiery argument at an agency party. Ruby, 24, and Mia, 25, were once close friends, but their relationship had been fracturing for some time following a recent holiday in Fiji.
Tensions between the two girls truly peaked when they clashed at an event hosted by Blue Rose Agency founder, Quinn Everly. Earlier, Mia claimed that Ruby had been talking behind her back out of jealousy over Mia’s rapid rise as a digital creator.
At the party, Mia directly confronted Ruby, sharing that she felt “hurt” when her former friend implied she didn’t work hard and didn’t deserve her current success. In response, Ruby became extremely frustrated, accusing Mia of having a condescending attitude and acting superior to other digital creators.
Shortly after, the conflict reached its climax when Ruby brought up their recent trip to Fiji. There, Ruby bluntly accused Mia of being unfaithful, claiming she secretly gave her phone number, email, and Instagram to a local man (nicknamed ‘Farius’ due to his resemblance to Mia’s fiancé, Darius).
Mia immediately and fiercely denied the claims, becoming furious and demanding that Ruby keep her romantic relationship out of it. However, Ruby continued to press the issue with harsh questions. The conversation rapidly escalated into heavy personal insults, causing an enraged Mia to storm out of the party.
Following the fight, Ruby broke down in tears and sought comfort from the other women. “I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move on from this and be in the same room as Mia,” she shared.
Meanwhile, Mia and her fiancé, Darius, retreated to a quiet corner to talk. She expressed her outrage and fears that Ruby’s “fabricated lies” could ruin their relationship. Fortunately, Darius hugged his fiancée and assured her that he completely trusted her.
Although what played out on screen was shocking enough for viewers, multiple sources revealed that the behind-the-scenes altercation was actually much more chaotic than the broadcasted cut.
The series Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money is currently streaming exclusively on Stan, with new episodes dropping weekly.
