Fyre Festival’s Billy McFarland: Does He Deserve a Second Chance? | Miss Understood #367
In this episode of Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel, Rachel sits down with Billy McFarland, the entrepreneur behind the infamous Fyre Festival — widely known as the biggest party that never happened. Billy opens up about the rise and collapse of Fyre Festival, the decisions that led to his prison sentence, and what life was really like behind bars. After his release, he attempted to redeem himself with Fyre Festival II, which ultimately fell apart, but not before he began rebuilding through a smaller event that finally showed signs of success. Billy also reflects on his childhood, the documentaries that shaped public perception — including Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened — what they got right, what they got wrong, and the new documentary he’s currently working on about life after prison and why Fyre Festival II didn’t work. It’s a candid conversation about accountability, redemption, and what comes next.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFFSPLITIFIUse code RACHEL at mysplitifi.com/rachel for 50 percent off your first three months.--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George CarmonaOur Sponsors:* Check out Peace Corps: https://peacecorps.gov/serveAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Charged With Murdering Her Dying Mother - Rachel Waters | Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel #365
When Rachel Waters rushed to be by her mother’s side during her final days, she believed she was doing exactly what hospice care had prepared her for — providing comfort, dignity, and love at the end of life.Instead, she found herself charged with murder.In this emotional and deeply important episode of Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel, Rachel Waters shares the shocking story of how caring for her dying mother — who was suffering from late-stage cancer and Alzheimer’s — turned into a criminal investigation that threatened the rest of her life.Following hospice guidance, Rachel administered legally prescribed comfort medication intended to ease her mother’s pain during her final hours. But after her mother passed, authorities launched an investigation that ultimately led to Rachel being charged with murder — despite the involvement of medical professionals, hospice protocols, and documented end-of-life care.The charges were eventually dismissed, but not before Rachel endured unimaginable emotional, financial, and personal consequences.Now, Rachel is speaking out and advocating for Marsha’s Law, legislation designed to protect caregivers who follow hospice guidance and administer legally prescribed comfort medications during end-of-life care. Her story highlights a legal gray area that could impact millions of families navigating hospice care every year.Learn more about Rachel’s story and the movement for Marsha’s Law:https://www.marshaslaw.org/Rachel Waters IG: https://www.instagram.com/distinguishedheathen/--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
