Uncle Peter | Episode 3: The Tentacled Tyrant

The abduction of a teenage tennis student, the lawyer representing 135 Nygard victims, there was no escaping the wrath of Peter Nygard. In episode 3 of Uncle Peter, if it wasn’t brutal and violent sexual abuse, Peter Nygard was verbally and financially abusive to almost everyone who worked for him, and employees lived in paralyzing fear of Nygard. And we ask the question on everyone’s mind: how responsible were the people who surrounded and enabled Nygard as his niece Angela is hit with a massive lawsuit?

Growing up, he was always "Uncle Peter" to me. Peter Nygard was my best friend's uncle, but would one day become the world's most reviled serial rapist. How did it happen? What made him into this monster? We opened up Peter’s secret vault of exclusive pictures, videos, phone calls, messages, memos, letters… even his little black book. Together, we recount the last 40 years... growing up with him... living with him... working for him... and being swept up in the criminal and civil cases that brought down his empire.
