"Curtain Call 'Steve Stanulis': I'm Finally Ready to Talk About Hollywood's Criminal Underground"
Welcome to Bulletproof. I'm Steve Stanulis, and after years of keeping quiet about what I've witnessed in Hollywood, I'm finally ready to pull back the curtain on celebrity crime happening right now.
In this pilot episode, I share why I've decided to speak out after living a triple life that nobody could believe - simultaneously working as an NYPD officer, Chippendales dancer, and celebrity bodyguard. Recent events, including someone I used to dance with testifying in the Diddy case, changed everything.
You'll hear about my first private investigation case - going undercover as a male escort to catch a criminal extorting a high-powered woman. I literally put myself on escort websites and almost got plastic surgery to look like Ron Jeremy to nail this guy.
I'll also share what it was really like working with Kanye West, including having to listen to him defend Bill Cosby in my car. Spoiler alert: he's exactly what you think he is.
Unlike other true crime podcasts that rehash decades-old cases, Bulletproof focuses on active celebrity investigations happening right now. I'm not a retired cop telling old stories - I'm a licensed private investigator currently working celebrity crime cases and entertainment industry fraud.
This isn't a tell-all - this is an ongoing investigation into celebrity crime you won't hear about anywhere else.
