“I’d say she’s very kind of subservient toward Richard.  Richard was fairly controlling,” LeGrow says of  his experience working with the Heene’s.  LeGrow recalls several times when Richard would blow up at Mayumi yelling, “Mayumi you’re stupid!”

As reported earlier by RadarOnline.com, the Heene’s lived in the back room of their production studio, which LeGrow describes as, “kind of disgusting.  Almost everything was sticky.”  With no kitchen or bathroom, LeGrow says the Heene’s merely relied on a hot plate and showered at the local Y.M.C.A. for almost two years.

LeGrow describes the children as “rowdy” and says, “they would curse a lot” and “didn’t have much discipline.”

RadarOnline.com contacted Richard’s brother, Donald Heene, for comment but was informed that the brothers haven’t talked in over 10 years and Donald told us it was a “personal family matter”.  LeGrow confirmed the notion that Richard has no contact with his family when he said, “Richard did talk about his father, only to say that he just doesn’t talk to him at all and probably hasn’t talked to him in 20 years or more.”
