I've got so used to bots having weird eyebrows I hadnt noticed! So bizarre!

Bluewavescrashing · 25/07/2020 21:56

Lol at eyebrows under eyebrows! I see what you mean. The grey hair suits her, I hope she stops colouring it before it all falls out.

Teenageromance · 25/07/2020 21:59

Does anyone know how John Lewis bot is doing? She pops up on my feed from time to time. She is the one who owes loads of money to the tax man but is still promoting the FL biz as the answer to everything

Creepy homeschool daddy seems to have pivoted from low self esteem courses to weight loss

BSintolerant · 25/07/2020 23:07

Weird Willy’s Modere business can’t be doing very well if he wants to get his claws into people who think they need to lose weight. I hope he’s not going to use the same gaslighting word salady nonsense he used to persuade people that their self esteem was down the toilet like he did with his other course.

“You might think you’re a healthy weight, but deep down you and I know that you’re not. Get back on the scales and look at that number again. Be honest: you can’t see your feet can you? If you can’t see your feet, how can you see what you really weigh? You shaved off your eyebrows this morning to try to weigh less, didn’t you? We both know you eat too much and only I can help you. I will make sure you lose pounds. I usually charge eleventy billion squillion pounds for this course but I’m offering it to you for a mere £6,000. I like round numbers, don’t you? I’m also offering a course of vegan milkshakes fortified with chicken cartilage and a spare pair of eyebrows.” Wink

BSintolerant · 26/07/2020 09:16

Bloody hell! I wonder if Yawn had a bundle of Tropic for her 40th? Grin

CompleteBarstool · 26/07/2020 09:58

Talking of Yawn I see she says that they "never made it to (her) surprise evening meal"

Does that mean she's one of those arseholes who books a table and then doesn't show up?

Not what a business needs when they're struggling in the current climate

Norma27 · 26/07/2020 10:41

@CompleteBarstool I was just coming on to say the same thing. If she did just not turn up to a booking then she is even more of an arsehole than I thought.
Totally unacceptable in this economic climate.

CompleteBarstool · 26/07/2020 11:17

I feel the Law of Reaction approaching .....watch her post, she'll add something shortly about how they did cancel and give plenty of notice or some other bullshit.

Norma27 · 26/07/2020 11:21

Ha ha I was thinking that. We all know she is a lying liar who lies tho!

BSintolerant · 26/07/2020 11:39

No shows are totally unacceptable. Cancelling at short notice (unless there’s a really good reason like a serious illness, grim death or accident) is almost as bad as just not turning up.

Remember when Yawn didn’t turn up to her friend’s wedding because her hair straighteners weren’t working? Classy.

ticktock19 · 26/07/2020 11:52

@CompleteBarstool @Norma27 I just rushed over here to see if someone had seen Yawns 'no show' admittance. Absolute w@nkers if they had reserved and then did a no show

Malin52 · 26/07/2020 12:10

Gembot is manager. All down to 'god and yawn' apparently.

Spongebobette · 26/07/2020 13:03

Sadly I think Gembot has a large pool of people in her church and with her connections farther afield in Africa to draw on

Botbrigade · 26/07/2020 13:48

@Teenageromance

I know of her. She keeps a low profile but posts all her FL tat via stories instead these days. None of her friends know she owes that cash. Still peddling the dream.

YouokHun · 26/07/2020 14:24

I see Homeschool is doing another cash giveaway. Got a gaming licence Hun? And no proof anyone won anything from the last GDPR-non-compliant trawl for details from those hopeful of winning last month’s £600.

As mentioned upthread Weird Willy has pretty much dropped the self esteem pretence in favour of the more easily targeted weight concerns. No need to piss around talking about childhood issues when the client can be lead straight to the scales and told that their fat arse is the reason for all the problems and here’s a carton of chicken cartilage to solve the fat arse problem and a bizniz opportunity to solve the self esteem problem. He really is a first class wanker.

Norma27 · 26/07/2020 17:18

Weird Willy is an absolute first class wanker. Targeting vulnerable women.

ToBotOrNotToBot · 26/07/2020 21:33

@Norma27 the guy from the US on Yawn's bday video isn't rex's son. He's the European VP or something like that. His name is Aidan O'Hare. He's actually Irish but lived in the US for a long time. Bleeds aloe after being in the company for years

Norma27 · 27/07/2020 03:21

@ToBotOrNotToBot thank you!
I do recognise that name now.

ticktock19 · 27/07/2020 10:28

Eurgh...just seems this on MLM lies exposed...bloody Vicky Pattison launching her own Inteletravel downline 😩🙄

JasperRising · 27/07/2020 10:46

It's so frustrating @ticktock19 and she'll be used as proof you can be successful (ignoring that most people don't have huge followings in social media already).

I do wonder how these z-list celebs and ex sports people get involved. Does an existing bot get lucky and manage to recruit them - maybe an old friend - or are they targeted by the head office staff of the MLM? And do they get a payment to join or just do a bit better in the compensation scheme because they have fans? And do people like the dancer and rugby player that FL have actually sell/recruit or are they there as an advert (like when celebs get pain to appear on TV ads) in which case they might be paid? It's murky by the standards of a murky industry and I would love to know more but I doubt anyone in the know is talking... Has there been an example of a known "name" who is associated with an MLM going on to speak out against them?

9dartfinish2nd · 27/07/2020 10:58

She is deleting comments and blocking everyone who dares to criticise her on instagram.

Seems she has been fully briefed on how to deal with negativity towards MLM.

ticktock19 · 27/07/2020 11:06

@JasperRising absolutely agree with you..I remember that Kerry Katona was linked to Herbalife too but that seems to have gone very quiet now. I wonder the same about who contacts these 'celebs' and whether it's a paid sponsorship that they're not declaring on their insta posts. I doubt we'll ever see it but it would be very interesting if one of them spoke out but then that might hinder their chances of future deals so I doubt they will.
It looked like she's getting good at deleting and blocking everyone that posts the truth, the people on Lies Exposed did a great job before they were blocked.

grumpytoddler1 · 27/07/2020 11:43

An influencer I follow, luxefamily5, who has quite a large following, is also an inteletravel bot. Its really irritating because I don't follow her for that, I follow her for family content, and I don't want to know about the 'amaazzzing training' she's doing for her 'team'. She has a very wealthy husband who works in banking, but pretends her luxury holidays and lifestyle have come from her stupid MLM. If you just stumbled across her on Instagram you might not realise this and believe that she's mega successful.

Also, she's just had a baby, and 2 weeks after the birth she was 'back to work' on her shitty MLM, which I just found so depressing.
