Inside the Real Wolf of Wall Street: The Story Hollywood Didn't Tell
About this episode
Melissa Rivers interviews Donna Schlessinger about the harsh realities behind the glamorous portrayal of Wall Street in Hollywood.
Hollywood made it look glamorous. Donna Schlessinger lived the reality. This week, Melissa Rivers sits down with one of the few women who worked at Jordan Belfort's infamous Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm to discuss Paramount +'s The Real Wolf of Wall Street. While Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio's The Wolf of Wall Street glamorized the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll lifestyle of the infamous "Boiler Room," Donna says the reality led to far more pain, trouble, and even death for many of its employees.
