It's an interesting and familiar read but she's still in that mindset of network marketing can be good (and can make money) but you have to make sure you sign up with an upline that shares your values. Whereas I think most here would agree that network marketing is never good.

CompleteBarstool · 13/09/2020 16:10

Yes it's disappointing to see that she's still convinced by network marketing to a certain extent but interesting to hear confirmation about the bullying by uplines, being being dropped when they're no longer lining the uplines pockets, the "behaviours of the big players", the bots mental health suffering, the belittling, being blocked if they do used on other streams of income or were taking a break due t I personal issues etc.

Maybe Roomies next book should be about the bullying tactics of FL

CompleteBarstool · 13/09/2020 16:11

*focused on other streams of income

I wonder if yawn's latest post is a dig at roomie.
We all know yawn is a renowned bully.

terrywynne · 13/09/2020 16:14

I wonder who Yawn's latest post is directed at.... Wink

CurlsandCurves · 13/09/2020 16:22

Someone who commented on Roomies post, the lady with a colour in her name. Roomie says the way this lady was treated inspired her to make the break.

Said lady is now with TS Life. Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire....

Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/09/2020 16:43

Aaaaargh, forgotten Roomie IRL name - any clues?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/09/2020 16:47

Does this mean she will be posting more 'behind the scenes' pictures as well as exposés? Her contributions to the 'FL huns do Dallas' episode were the gift that kept giving...

CurlsandCurves · 13/09/2020 17:13

@Twentytwentyhindsight first name same as Gary Linekers ex wife.

Surname opposite of up with ‘ey’ on the end.

CurlsandCurves · 13/09/2020 17:15

I’d love it if she’d come over here for a chat, oh the things we could ask!

Roomie, if you’re reading this, please consider it, you’d be welcomed.

but you would have to tell us about what happened after you posted that Dallas gym photo of Yawn that was hastily removed! Wink
Spongebobette · 13/09/2020 17:31

Woooah

Was the Dallas trip 2018?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/09/2020 17:32

Cheers @CurlsandCurves !

Norma27 · 13/09/2020 17:45

Dallas was amazing. Between roomie's posts and the realisation that yawn wasn't getting a cheque. Brilliant!

CompleteBarstool · 13/09/2020 18:26

Just googled and Forever Living's Global Rally 2018 was Dallas!

I'm tempted to scroll back 2 years and see what posts I can find from then that might show the cracks appearing!!

Popihola · 13/09/2020 18:32

Can someone post the screenshot of yawns retalistion status, identifying features removed of course as I'm blocked!

Popihola · 13/09/2020 18:32

retaliation*

AlexCabot · 13/09/2020 18:32

Is Roomie still touting herself as a "Number one bestselling author"?

AlexCabot · 13/09/2020 18:38

The retaliation.......gasp at the audacity of Yawn!

"INTEGRITY

The fastest way to lose someone’s respect is by being sneaky & unethical

Do the right thing, make the right choices & don’t cheat the system

This world is big enough for everyone - it’s a shame greed blurs people’s vision"

The above is what she posts with the screenshot in the previous post.

Norma27 · 13/09/2020 19:05

I think the person who is in yawn's pep talk post is the one roomie mentions who unfriended her.
I remember her and roomie being good friends pre Dallas.

terrywynne · 13/09/2020 19:07

To be fair some of these bots do seem to have made connections that have survived leaving the MLM. The colour bot in Roomies comments is also a franchise owner for a company invested in by the former FL bot who set up the publishing partnership company that helped Roomie publish her book. (And well done to anyone who follows that)

BSintolerant · 13/09/2020 20:17

According to her comments, Roomie has emailed Head Office and dropped the bully (is that you, Yawn?!) right in it for an alleged breach of policies. Look out for a mushroom cloud over Worcester tomorrow. Grin

I see Bankrupt Homeschool has added her support.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/09/2020 20:33

And we have confirmation that there were fireworks in Dallas.

CompleteBarstool · 13/09/2020 21:32

I have to say that Yawn's selfie this evening (for her "pep talk" with , coincidentally, 2 of Roomie's ex-buddies) isn't her usual polished selfie.

Hair dragged back, make-up free, puffy faced ….trouble in paradise? Tears and tantrums in the thatch?
