Silent, swift, and nearly undetectable —
GHB
has acquired a frightening moniker: the “date rape drug.”
Previously promoted as a social stimulant, this invisible and scent-free liquid is commonly added to beverages and predominantly associated with sexual encounters lacking consent.

.
As both the executive producer and host, Madison aimed to bring attention to the chilling tales connected to fatalities associated with the famous brand.
In a sneak peek for Season 3, Madison bravely warned about the ubiquitous dangers of GHB.
“Due to its lack of distinctive appearance, odor, or flavor, GHB can be incredibly frightening. Many individuals remain unaware that it has been added to their beverage until it’s far too late,” stated Madison, aged 45, in an excerpt from the forthcoming episode.
“When someone puts something like that into another person’s drink, their intention is for that individual to become incapacitated and unconscious so they can engage in sexual activity with them without facing any opposition or obtaining consent,” she explained.
This upcoming season explores bone-chilling stories that highlight the connections involving women.

“No one uses GHB as a party drug. No one opts for a drug that’s intended to facilitate sexual assault,” Rhima asserts, highlighting the drug’s dangerous reputation.
Richie, who is 46 years old, provided a stark reality check: “Have a sip of G[HB], and you’re done for.”

From 2001 to 2008, she has openly discussed the mansion’s atmosphere, frequently reminiscing about her experiences. Her dedication lies in shedding light on these somber tales with the care and respect they require.
“Without a doubt, it’s quite emotionally intense,” Madison shared with the audience.
New York Post
I mainly concentrate on the information I gather from my research and the accounts of those who have shared their experiences with me regarding these women. It’s terribly sad that these narratives must be recounted at all. Given that they need to be shared, I strive to present them in the most respectful manner possible and aim to pay tribute to her legacy whenever feasible.
She highlighted the importance of changing the way victims are depicted in stories.
Madison expanded, saying, “There’s often this trope about gold-diggers, typically seen as being at a disadvantage in terms of power dynamics.” She continued, “Instead, I prefer concentrating on what drove this particular woman? What ambitions did she have? Where does she originate from? And how do these relate to my own childhood uncertainties?”
Season 3 is set to be thrilling with six new episodes highlighting different cases, such as the heartbreaking 2017 passing of the Playboy casting assistant.
