TikTok: Greg Wier’s rise to fame
Our Story Leads Detroit Newscasts
Our reporting on Tabatha Kerr and the Vista Maria scandal reached a major milestone when our story of the disbarment of attorney Greg Rohl became a lead story on WWJ radio and WXYZ-TV Channel 7 and covered by WDIV-TV Channel 4.
This is exactly why we do this work: to bring important information to light, give people a voice and hold those in positions of trust accountable.

The Search for Answers at Vista Maria
We continue to hear from survivors and investigate allegations of abuse at the former girls’ residential treatment facility.
Our latest coverage examines how male staff members allegedly groomed young girls, including disturbing allegations that one girl was branded like cattle.
We’re also asking for the public’s help locating Tasia, whose story may be important to understanding what happened at Vista Maria.
If you have information or know someone who may be able to help, please reach out through GregWier.com.

Darren McCarty: 11 Years of Sobriety
Nov. 11 marks an important milestone for four-time Stanley Cup champion Darren McCarty: 11 years of sobriety.
On the More Than Just Luck podcast, McCarty opened up about his struggles with addiction, the decision that changed his life and his desire to help others facing similar challenges.
His message is powerful and direct: “No matter how bad it is, it can be done because I’m living proof.”

Coming in January: Nala Ray
Get ready for a series of interviews with Nala Ray, the former OnlyFans star who earned as much as $400,000 a month before walking away from that career and embracing Christianity.
Now an outspoken Christian activist and advocate against pornography, Nala is using her experiences to start conversations that many people are reluctant to have.
In January, watch for candid discussions featuring politicians, sex experts, pastors and women currently working in the adult entertainment industry.
Nala shares what life was really like behind the scenes, the predatory practices at OnlyFans, why she chose a different path and what she hopes others will learn from her experience.
