'Princess' Show Manager Charged With False Imprisonment
"(The women) said their cell phones were taken away from them so they were not able to make any contact with their family or friends," neighbor Lori Thompson said. "So, they said they were fearful and they were just trying to get out."The "Pauper to Princess" reality show was created with the apparent idea of taking eight young ladies and putting them inside a home to transform them into princesses.Neighbors near the Apopka home said they called police after hearing that the girls were unable to leave."I'm going to use the word escape because both of the girls said they couldn't leave the house," another neighbor said.Local 6 showed video of Marc Brilleman, a head manager of the show, being put into a police patrol car after being charged with false imprisonment.Four women were seen leaving the home and standing outside after the house was opened."Marc Brilleman is crazy," one of the women said.A show participant, Alisha Waizmann, also offered a warning to women after leaving the house."Watch out for schemes," Waizmann said."Was there anything sexual going on?" Local 6's J.R. Stone said."I can't talk about anything," Waizmann said. "Just watch out for schemes."A woman inside the home did not answer Stone's question of whether the girls' alleged claim of being brainwashed was true.Jim Johnson, of Dream House Productions, said the girls involved in the show were involved in "modeling and etiquette training." He said despite concerns from neighbors, there was nothing sexual going on inside the house.Johnson said "this was a rated G production."Johnson is working with several networks to get the show picked up for syndication, Local 6 reported.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
