You Know It’s True

The Real Story of Milli Vanilli

De: Fab Morvan, Parisa Rose

Narrado por: Fab Morvan

One of the most infamous names in music history steps forward to reclaim the truth behind the legend, in a raw exploration of the price of fame, the despair born of worldwide humiliation, and the unseen toll of chasing acceptance in a world built on illusion.

You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli is the untold story of Fab Morvan, one half of the Grammy-winning pop duo Milli Vanilli, the group that skyrocketed to global superstardom before being consumed by one of the most explosive scandals in music history. For decades, Fab's story was told by others. Now, for the first time, he tells it himself.

From his childhood in Paris to becoming an international icon alongside Rob Pilatus, Fab lived one of the most dramatic and surreal rises the music world has ever witnessed. At the height of fame, with chart-topping singles and screaming fans worldwide, everything imploded. The scandal. The shame. The silence. And the loss of a friend.

Behind the flash was a young man still searching for the validation he never received. When it all came crashing down, Fab thought surviving public disgrace would be the hardest chapter. But it was what followed that demanded the most: grief, identity loss, and the aching truth that being seen does not always mean being loved.

Fab believed that surviving the public collapse was the hardest part, but that was only the beginning. What followed was a private journey far more difficult: confronting the pain, rediscovering his identity, and rebuilding a life after the world had written him off. What does it mean to start over when the industry you trusted breaks you? What does it take to own your voice again when the world has made it a punchline?

In You Know It’s True, Fab opens up with disarming vulnerability, delivering a story that is by turns devastating, electric, and deeply inspiring.

What stood out the most is Morvan strength to forgive.

This book is very inspirational and I can relate to a lot of Morvan’s childhood because I with thought similar trauma.

One of the best audio books I’ve ever heard

Fab has lived a truly unique and amazing life. His performance in this audio book is legendary

victim card

Fab just plays the victim card. Keeps talking about "his music" but never mentions the artists who actually made it.

PERHAPS THE WORST

Perhaps the worst audiobook/book in the annals of time. I should’ve knew with it only being 3hrs 44mins that it was going to be absolute trash with zero depth or insights. Unless I am mistaken, HE MADE NO MENTION OF THE BACKGROUND TRACK SKIPPING WHILE THEY LIP SANK (don’t know if this is a word or not, don’t care, I’ve already put more than enough energy into this crap)

The only reason I even humored myself with this title is that THIS BS IS NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY FOR AUDIOBOOK OR THE YEAR!!?!?!? I did not think the Grammy committee could do anymore damage to their credibility, but they’ve managed to do it with this nomination.

If one never watched the VH1 behind the music you would be very hard pressed to make sense of the story at all.

Furthermore, I believe that this book is 100% A.I. generated. It took his voice , summarized the bullshit that’s on the wiki page and Amazon charged me a months credit for it.

Thankfully, audible is controlled by people who love education and books and my return was accepted no ifs ands or buts.

I was really hoping to hear the real story about the real people who were used to make the music. From a pop music standpoint these songs are absolute masterpieces. All we got though, though is 3.5 hours of Fab explaining they were young dumb , broke and that’s why they did It.

Watch the VHI behind the music , it’s all you need to know. Or wait for someone to else who was involved to write a more in-depth book.

I really think all this was , was an attempt to draw attention to the Grammys by nominating a guy who did the ultimate no no in the artistic world which is take credit for someone else’s work.
