According to a number of Persian-language write-ups that circulated after the
Villa XO episode(s) featuring him, Rambod has been described as a former guest on Iran’s educational television channels and as someone promoted at times as a successful student. Those write-ups show screenshots and clips of him in earlier television segments; the pieces use that archival footage to underline how his public persona has changed over time. But the articles also mix reportage with opinion and social commentary, so again it’s important to distinguish primary evidence (video or program listings) from interpretive commentary.
