The shocking story of Jared Fogle's rise and fall is examined in this new documentary series. Jared became a household name as the Subway spokesman who lost over 200 pounds eating their sandwiches. His incredible weight loss journey made him an inspiration to many who were struggling with their own battles against obesity. But behind the public image of a friendly everyman laid disturbing secrets.
This series takes an unflinching look at how Fogle was able to hide in plain sight as a respected public figure and charitable foundation head all while leading a double life. The manipulative tactics he used to prey upon underage victims are laid bare. Interviews with investigators, journalists, and people from Fogle's inner circle help piece together the red flags that were missed along the way.
Episodes follow the timeline from Jared's early Subway ads through to the 2015 FBI investigation that brought his predatory crimes into the light. News clips, home videos, and archival footage show Fogle's calculating persona. As the sinister clues mount, the question is raised of who else may have known about or enabled his abusive behavior.
The courage of the victims who eventually came forward is highlighted. While recognizing that the trauma can never be undone, the series aims to prevent future abuse by analyzing the systemic failures. How did our culture celebrate Jared's weight loss success while ignoring who he victimized along the way? The documentary concludes by examining legacy of the high-profile case and its wider implications.
