EXCLUSIVE: Mistress Identity Revealed Of Survivor Producer Suspected Of Murdering Wife
April 12 2010, Published 2:30 p.m. ET
The woman who was having an affair with the Survivor producer suspected in the murder of his wife is Joy Pierce, a casting director, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
Pierce and former Survivor producer Bruce Beresford-Redman worked together on Crash Course, a USA network show, in 2009. They also worked together on The Contender in 2005.
Their affair ended just months ago, Breaking Celebrity News learned exclusively.
Pierce owns Joy Joy Casting, which took down its Web site, MySpace and Twitter recently. She also cancelled her LinkedIn account, shortly after Breaking Celebrity News contacted Pierce and asked her to comment on her link to the explosive case.
Sources close to the case said that Pierce and Beresford-Redman carried on a torrid affair for six months.
His wife Monica found out about the affair three months ago and confronted him. Her sister told Breaking Celebrity News that they went to marriage counseling.
“That’s why they went to Mexico -- because she decided she wanted to try and reconcile the marriage and she believed he was done with the other woman,” Carla Burgos, Monica’s sister told Breaking Celebrity News.
“He told her, ‘I love you, I want to be with you.’
“Monica really believed Bruce didn’t want to be with the other woman.”
Bruce was a producer on The Contender and Joy was the casting director. It was not immediately clear if they worked on other projects together as well.
She has also been a casting director for The Lazy Environmentalist, Crash Course and Most Popular.
Monica’s body was found days ago with scratches on the neck and signs of asphyxiation in Mexico.
Bruce was detained, labeled a suspect and told not to leave the country.
Monica’s body was found in a sewer at Cancun's Moon Palace resort, where the couple had been staying with their children.
Attorney general Francisco Alor later revealed that Monica's body had -- among other things -- scratches on the neck and signs of asphyxiation.
