00:01When I was 16, I was on Nantucket,
00:04and this gentleman puts his towel down next to me
00:09and begins engaging me in a conversation.
00:12He talked about Eastern religion and astrology.
00:16I'm like, oh, this must be this guy, Frederick Von Meers.
00:22He was this big socialite from New York.
00:25He was so charming and good-looking.
00:27He seemed happier than anybody else
00:29that I'd ever met.
00:30And I realized that's the way I want to be.
00:32He was throwing a party every night.
00:34Or you can be dancing till dawn
00:36and still maintain a spiritual life.
00:38But Freddie always wanted the beauties.
00:39Only invite the beauties.
00:41Not your friends, just the beauties.
00:43Influential people, supermodels.
00:45Hoyt's rise was so fast.
00:47The highest-paid male model in the world.
00:49I would make whatever I'd make.
00:51A certain percentage I would keep,
00:53but everything else I gave to Frederick.
00:55It was about creating this spiritual family.
00:57A supportive family.
00:58I found a sense of belonging.
01:00This is the way you could become
01:01a better version of yourself.
01:06Frederick Von Meers is known as a walk-in.
01:09An alien walk-in.
01:10A higher being that stepped into his body.
01:14What aliens?
01:16What are you talking about?
01:17You want to know what I really think?
01:18I think you've found some young, impressionable people
01:21who are on a quest for spiritual, moral values.
01:25Don't anybody try to tell me that I am a cult.
01:28I'm against cults.
01:30We're just friends. We're everybody's friends.
01:32But if you lead the group, we will crush you.
01:36My experience went from happy to scary in a heartbeat.
01:42It was terrifying.
01:43Wake up.
01:44Look carefully and change your life.
01:47I kept feeling like you were in this prison.
01:49The second that he laid eyes on Hoyt,
01:51was the beginning of the end.
01:53You can't play with a fire without getting burned.
