Greco was confronted a week later by the program’s investigative reporter Matt Meagher.
He declined to answer any of Meagher’s questions, stating he couldn’t legally comment on the accusation. John Ellison of the Rowlett Police Department stated on the same program that “There were no arrests at all during that time period for that type of crime.” In 2005, Greco, Cheaters director at the time Hunter Carson, and two security guards were indicted for assault but acquitted by a grand jury in connection with the ‘confrontations’ on the program.

Greco returned to host the fifteenth-season finale of Cheaters for the second case; however, he responded on his Twitter page that the case was one that never had aired from 2012. In February 2017, he hosted a Netflix parody of Cheaters titled “Netflix Cheaterz”, as an ad campaign to deter spouses or lovers from watching Netflix shows episodes before their other half.
