Vixen Tatyana Remley pleaded guilty in a San Diego court.

Remley was charged in August with conspiring to kill her wealthy spouse, Mark Remley, after undercover cops posed as hitmen. The wannabe equestrian impresario brought guns and cash for the job.
Her hubby, she sniffed was “acting like a scared puppy.” Mark Remley was solidly under his domineering wife’s thumb, a friend said.
“Tatyana ran everything, whatever she said went and he just followed her around,” former business partner Erik Martonovich told the Daily Mail. “Mark was like a snivelling scared puppy, and I never saw Mark say no to her.”
But before things soured, the swinging couple lived a sex-soaked lifestyle that even included the pair discussing their proclivities on a program about the “lifestyle.” She identified herself as Tatyana while he said his name was Vladimir.

“Their lifestyle was reckless, it was toxic,” a friend of Tatyana’s told the New York Post. “They were both having sexual relationships with all kinds of other people. There were prostitutes, strippers, sex clubs.”
And that’s the way it was from the time they married in 2011. By her arrest, the pair had filed divorce papers against each other.
A sore point was the failure of her equestrian circus that took its cues from Cirque de Soleil. After just five performances, the effort slid into bankruptcy.
Her own absurd claims to dressage stardom also sank when it became clear her riding skills were “mediocre.”
“She didn’t do any of the stunts,” former manager Roza Tabasa told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “But in the end, when the whole cast lined up and everybody is applauding, this blond lady comes down the centre, the other cast members part for her, and there’s silence.

“People are thinking, ‘Who’s she? Oh, it’s the lady in the poster.”
But there was no background in dressage nor was she Russian. She was a mother-of-two from a small town in Oregon who had only gone as far in school as Grade 4. Behind her were a slew of failed engagements with various sugar daddies.
“She was very, ‘look how pretty I am,’” Martonovich said. “The persona she wanted to portray to the world was that she’s like some gorgeous Russian supermodel. And maybe supermodel with a touch of Barbie.”
He added: “I don’t think she’s actually Russian, and she’s not a supermodel. But I’m pretty sure what she’s good at is being a gold digger.”
Mark Remley had inherited a whopping $26 million from his parents but the couple blew through the money fast thanks to a slew of failed business ventures. When they split, she wanted $15,000 in monthly spousal support.
Among her claims were that Mark Remley’s friends gang-raped her. Cops said there was no evidence of such a horrific crime.
