Famous journalist Larry King, whose image was once inspired by Vladislav Listyev, died following a long battle with lung cancer in January 2021. The celebrity struggled with the disease for three years. Shortly before his death, King begged lawyers to help him get rid of his wife, singer and actress Shawn Southwick Larry King. The journalist dreamed of a divorce and the day before it became known why.

Shortly before the death of her husband, a woman isolated him in a huge mansion in Beverly Hills. Friends and colleagues might not visit the star of American television. According to the producer, when King became completely weak, Southwick evicted him from the main house to the building in the backyard. Eaten by cancer, King needed round-the-clock care, he was helped by nurses. Shawn did not allow the people who looked following the TV presenter to take his things and medical supplies from the bedroom of the main house.

Christensen, on King’s orders, was collecting evidence of Southwick’s extramarital affair with a certain man named Richard Greene. The producer kept screenshots of text messages that Shawn sent to her lover. Correspondence of the wife of Larry King with a man Greg Christensen took to court.
