Fleiss found herself on the wrong side of the law in 1997 when she was convicted in connection with a prostitution ring which allegedly catered for numerous famous and wealthy clients.

She was jailed for three years but served just 21 months. In 2003, Fleiss accused her ex-boyfriend Hollywood actor Tom Sizemore of domestic violence and threatening behaviour.

Sizemore, who starred in Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan, was convicted and jailed for 17 months.

Fleiss's most recent business ventures have seen her move from Los Angeles to Pahrump, Nevada, where she runs legal 'stud farms' for women.
