‘Naked and Afraid’ star wins big payout after boss downloaded her uncensored pics from show

Detailed summary

True faces criminal charges of invasion of computer privacy and stalking.

A former “Naked and Afraid” star won a $175,000 settlement after her perv boss allegedly hacked dozens of nude photos and videos of her from her appearances on the reality TV show.

Danielle Beauchemin, who appeared in multiple episodes of “Naked and Afraid” between 2014 and 2021, accused her supervisor, Arthur True, of accessing her private Google Photos through her office computer and downloading explicit images and videos of her taken from her time on the show.

True accessed uncensored, explicit files linked to Beauchemin’s old personal cellphone from her time on “Naked and Afraid,” which were blurred out on the show when it aired on the Discovery Channel, according to the lawsuit.

Beauchemin, a former emergency management employee in Kennebec County, Maine, said that county officials retaliated against her in the weeks after she reported True, Central Maine reported.

An investigation found that surveillance footage near Beauchemin’s office was deleted, two spy cameras were delivered to the building, and tools and a flashlight were placed in the ceiling above her office, the outlet reported, citing the lawsuit Beauchemin filed last December.

The lawsuit alleged Beauchemin discovered True had accessed her personal Google Photos account in April 2023, about four months after the county hired her.

True later admitted to downloading dozens of nude photos and videos of his subordinate, the lawsuit alleged.

True also faces criminal charges of invasion of computer privacy and stalking and pleaded not guilty in July 2024, the outlet reported.

Beauchemin never accessed the files through her work computer, the complaint notes.
