John Hoyt

John Hoyt, also known by his modeling name Hoyt Richards, was one of the highest-paid male models of the late 1980s and 1990s, frequently appearing alongside supermodels like Cindy Crawford. He became a prominent figure in the documentary 'Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult,' which explores his experiences as a member of the cult led by Frederick von Mierers, where he relinquished his earnings for what he believed were spiritually powerful gemstones. Hoyt has since transitioned into a role as an exit counselor, helping individuals recognize and leave cults, reflecting on the emotional turmoil and loss he experienced during his time in the cult.
