word transcript
Doyle began working for Nygard at his Marina Del Rey ("MOR") property approximately two to three years
‘ago, She was hired through her friend, Karina Gurgu ("Gurgu’), who was a travel manager for Nygard.
Doyle intially worked for the first one to one-and-one-haif years as a bartender and server at Pamper
Parties and dinners at the MDR property. Doyle advised that Nygard did not like guests to be intoxicated.
Gurgu and Angela (LNU) instructed her during her training not to make drinks too strong, and to serve
weaker drinks if someone had too many. She recalled a time when Nygard himself asked her why a
Parlicular guest was drunk, and she told him that that guest had arrived at the party that way, which she
said happened on occasion. Doyle told the investigators that Gurgu and Angela told Doyle that Nygard
did not allow drugs.
Approximately one and one-half years ago, Pamala Allen (‘Allen’), who had been running the MOR office
fas the Communications Coordinator or ComCor, quit and Doyle was promoted to ComCor. Doyle advised
there was @ high turnover for the office staff and described the position as “high pressure,” During the
time that Doyle worked at the MDR property she did not observe any inappropriate behavior.

‘about these messages. Nygard assisted Matthew in providing e response to Lauren's message. Lauren
then replied to Matthew, in substance, “tell Peter thanks for the response.”
On the same day she received the Instagram message from Lauren, or the next day, Doyle received a
call from Allen, enother former Personal Assistant to Nygard. Allen made similar comments to Doyle
during this call as the comments Lauren had made. Doyle believes that Allen and Lauren are friends.
Allen specifically said that she had been cooperating with Gutzier and believes Gutzler is working with the
FBI. Allen further told Doyle that Nygaré was going to jall, that Doyle could be in trouble because she is
with him, that "they" already knew everything, that they knew all about Doyle, and that they knew Doyle
was with Nygard, Allen told Doyle that if she helped, it would be to Doyle's advantage. Doyle did not have
to get in trouble or “go down with Nygard,” Allen suggested that Doyle's situation was similar to Ghislaine
Maxwell's situation ("Maxwell), and that Doyle could get into trouble just like Maxwell did. Allen offered to
put Doyle in contact with Gutzier, saying "I can link him in on the call right now."
Doyle told the investigators that she regularly spoke with Allen prior to this call the last time being a
couple of weeks earlier. Allen never solicited Doyle's cooperation with Gulzler in the past, and was never
especially negative towards Nygard. Allen would relay typical frustrations about Nygard, but nothing
more. Doyle last saw Allen in February 2020.
Approximately 2 weeks ago, Suelyn (Medeiros) called Doyle trying to reach Nygard. Suelyn was upset
because she had just been "served" at her boyfriend's work location. Doyle believes that Suelyn is in

bartender at parties. They asked if she was aware of underaged girls or drugs at the parties, and she said
there were no underage gils atthe parties, and that Nygard did not like drugs or drunks at his parties.
Doyle said that Nygard was an 80-year-old man trying to make sure that all those around him were safe.
‘Agent Vogel said thet when he previously had met Doyle at the airport when she and Nygard were
leaving the United States for Canada, Doyle had said Nygard was her boyfriend, Doyle's response was “I
‘said he was my boyfriend?" ~ indignantly expressing surprise because she had not said that. Agent Vogel

concer, Agent Vogel then asked Doyle i he could look at her phone, Doyle responded, “I'm allowed to
say no, right?" Agent Vogel told her she could say no and added, “but actually we have @ warrant” and
wore going to look through her bag. Agent Vogel provided Doyle a copy of the warrant and said that he
could look through her bags or she could tell them what electronic devices she had. She told the Agents
that she had an iPad and a ell phone, Agent Vogel asked her fo produce them, and she complied. The
‘Agents did not search her carry-on bag. Agent Vogel asked Doyle i there were passcodes and she

portion ofthe search warrant concerning passcodes, Doyle recalled that when she handed Agent Vogel
her phone it was open, and Agent Vogel asked the other Agent to "make sure that screen doesn't lock.”
During her conversation with the agents, Doyle was told that the case agent was from New York. They
provided Doyle the name Rachael Graves with a 212-telephone number.
‘After the agents took her phone, Doyle asked, "How am | going to get home? All my contacts are in my
phone.” Agent Vogel replied, “Guess | ruined your day.”
Doyle said thet when she arrived in LA, she called Agent Vogel and asked him to at least give her the
phone number for one of her friends so she could call someone to pick her up. The agent complied with
this request
Doyle told the investigators that the only visitors to Falcon Lake were some local people including an “old
lady’ and a few "poker guys.” Doyle was asked if any giritiends were being brought to visit Nygard and

Subject: Interview of Chery! Doyle
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL
(On December 28, 2020, Managing Director Richard Faughnan and Associate Managing Director John
Mazzella ("the investigators") telephonically interviewed Chery! Doyle ("Doyle"). The investigators advised
Doyle of their identities and the fact that they had been retained to work with counsel representing Peter
Nygard ("Nygard’).’ Doyle was told that a recent court document fled in Canada contained
‘communications described as being obtained from Doyle's mobile telephone.? The investigators were
interested in speaking with Doyle about these reported communications to hear her response and obtain
further context. Doyle agreed to the interview. The memorandum that follows is a summary of the
interview with Doyle and is not intended to be a word-for-word transcript:
Doyle was advised that the Canadian court documents revealed the following communications
purportedly obtained from her mobile telephone:
1), Doyle was “required to reside with Nygard’ at Falcon Lake.
Doyle responded that this was *hard to answer.” She could not recall any specific communication like
that, but she explained that she was very sarcastic with her friends and that anyone going through her
phone would have trouble determining what was sarcasm versus the truth. She suggested that she may
have communicated things like, “I'm in quarantine with my boss, LOL."
"The investigators interviewed Doyle on two prior eccasions, July 27, 2020 and September 29, 2020.
2 krol's September 28, 2020 interview of Doyle was prompted by the seizure of Doyle's mobile phone by the FBI

Doyle said that this was ‘difficult to answer" and that she “didn't remember.” She suggested that she
‘searches on her phone ‘for lots of stuff" and "whatever is on her mind.”
‘The investigators specifically asked if Nygard had asked Doyle to research traveling under an alias. Doyle
responded, “I really don't know,” and “I can't remember.”
‘The investigators told Doyle that, in their opinion, if Nygard had asked her to research traveling under an
alias, that was something s0 unique and specific that i's hard to believe she wouldn't remember it. Doyle
did not elaborate further on her answer.
Doyle was asked if she had spoken with the FBI or government since the FBI agents seized her phone in
the Minneapolis airport in late September. She said that "they had.” She told the investigators that she
leamed she's not going to be charged. In addition, the FBI offered to get her a lawyer. Doyle said that she
asked the FBI about gelting her phone back, and she said it didn't seem likely that she'd be getting it
back.
Doyle also received telephone calls from Sanctuary for Families® and Shannon Maroney (Allen's
therapist). Both offered Allen services to assist her.
Doyle described the whole situation as "very stressful" and ‘alittle scary."
Doyle was asked if during the time she was at Falcon Lake, or after she had returned to the United
States, Nygard ever told her what to say or what not to say. Doyle responded saying that was a ‘hard
one" to answer. The investigators said that if Doyle did not feel comfortable answering a specific question,
‘she could simply say that, Doyle then said she “doesn't feel comfortable answering that.”
Doyle was asked if Nygard had ever threatened her and she said without hesitation, “no.”
Doyle agreed to speak with the investigators again if any questions arose.
