Whilst I don't want to directly comment on the domestic situation mentioned in the posts previously, I really think the scale of break up's, and also damaged friend and family relationships is at a level that would even horrify the most seasoned Anti-MLM campaigner.

The worst emotionally affected huns appear to be the ones who had a taste of success, even if it was just a brief one but have since suffered during the downturn of the past few years, There is a least 5 or 6 individuals (Not FLP may I add) that i'm aware of who appear to walk a very fine line when it comes to their mental health and it's all clearly as a result of how emotionally draining it is to be involved in MLM.

It really concerns me that some of these people may need professional help but then they end up in the clutches of the fake guru's and coaches who only make thngs worse.

The brainwashing is real and horrific

Spongebobette · 18/10/2020 15:17

Yes, the way that the bots’ REAL support network is chipped away at - they are told to ignore and block any ‘unsupportive’ people, including family and old friends ... so they are left with the false, transactional friendship of their upline and other bot. This leaves them with nowhere to turn when they get into financial trouble and begin to have doubts and they end up blaming themselves and doubling down, even beginning to spout the same nonsense that they know doesn’t work in an attempt to attract others into the scheme

Those who have been in a while know the truth and know they are exploiters, pure and simple. Shame on them

Spongebobette · 18/10/2020 23:15

Weird Willy has done a weird live. All about standing in your power and not giving away your power and breaking through something something

He’s had a part time job apparently ... kept that quiet.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 19/10/2020 12:24

That certainly is a weird live. He keeps saying 'we're moving' so perhaps this is a bit of a moonlight flit due to being unable to keep up with the rent where they currently are. He says that he's been working as much as he can and will pick it up again when they move. All v v odd.

YouokHun · 19/10/2020 14:10

That move from a £2k a month house has everything to do with the end of a bankruptcy order. It depends when rent arrears were accrued of course but I would put money on the landlord calling time on the arrangement. How do you pay £2k a month if you are “not working” and your partner is not obviously earning a penny from telling others how to turbo charge their earnings? I must watch the Live.

fromdownwest · 19/10/2020 14:19

I see Castle's has a grasp of irony. Her latest instagram post is boasting of £100k earnings per month including her annual bonuses.

This does not link in with her Facebook page that is now showing nearly £30k donations. Why ask for money, if it is 2 weeks wages?

YouokHun · 19/10/2020 14:20

Watched the Live from a man on the edge. There’s a manic quality and he clearly doesn’t really buy in to the “positivity” he HAS to keep putting out there. The talk of irony is ironic. Is he standing in his power? No, he’s standing up to his be-dungareed knees in bullshit.

Spongebobette · 19/10/2020 15:30

2k a month on rent? How have they been paying that? Claiming housing benefit as she is ‘not working’ (secretly flogging liquidised chicken gristle)

Sorry, secretly setting the business opportunity to sell liquidised chicken gristle)

Norma27 · 19/10/2020 15:52

WW looks manic and on the verge of a breakdown.
They need to stop scamming people, get off social media and sort themselves out living a much simpler life.

Spongebobette · 19/10/2020 16:11

I have never found myself wishing harm on another human being before but I actually wish Sleaze would get COVID

Twentytwentyhindsight · 19/10/2020 16:26

@Spongebobette He's doing his best to, but there's simply not enough likeminded morons turning up to his to his tinfoil hat rallies for the law of averages to work itself out...

ticktock19 · 19/10/2020 17:04

@Spongebobette completely agree with you, I'm silently seething at his latest live with his vile group of shitstirrers

lostinlego · 19/10/2020 17:26

Sleezes last live was awful, of course the hospital corridors and car parks are quiet if People aren't allowed visitors, and going on about hydrochloroquine which has been shown to have no real effect just shows how ignorant he is. I wonder what he has done with wig too, hopefully they will get fined for leaving Swansea whilst under a curfew.

spanfan · 19/10/2020 18:25

Sleaze is just a nutcase. How can wandering round a hospital , that doesn't have an ED actually prove that there is no pandemic. It's just insane.

Why have they done to Hartlepool?

They just look bored and desperate to be the first to discover the "truth"

Spongebobette · 19/10/2020 18:43

He and his band of Morlocks would be lost without the power of FB lives

fitgirl26 · 20/10/2020 09:32

Quite a bit of tea being spilled about Sleaze's clown suit wearing mate in the comments on his lives. Looks like he has history of conning people out of money by attaching himself to various protests.
Wonder what attracted Wig and Sleaze to him?

ticktock19 · 20/10/2020 12:04

I agree, there's a group that is mentioned in the comments by the people who hate the clown which is very enlightening and they have also picked up on wig and sleazes multi-million pound business empire and what a fab opportunity it looks like. Clown man sounds like a very dodgy character

CatherineCookson · 20/10/2020 12:25

Sleaze and Coco Tour The UK... should be a title of a sitcom if it wasn't so tragic. Only those idiots would go to hospital that isn't geared up for covid patients and then their followers believe it's total evidence of the great hoax. Wonder what The Teeside NHS trust made of their visit.

And why are they obsessed with hydroxychloroquine. Maybe they're feeling a bit rough?

Sleaze has put a post up now with Clown Man's bank details asking for donations towards their "fighting fund". People are questioning Sleaze why he needs donations if he's self- funded through his successful scams businesses. He's replying that it's not about the MONEY, it's about the CHILDREN! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Sleaze - you, Wig and Clown are revolting, scamming pieces of shit.

Spongebobette · 20/10/2020 12:51

And, sadly, some poor idiots will send them money

I see Wig is spreading the nastiest rumours about the Presidential candidate’s son. Absolutely disgusting

ticktock19 · 20/10/2020 13:22

I've tried to see if it's possible to report Sleazes begging post but I don't think Facebook would take it down. Sadly him, Wig and Coco seem like a very likeminded group of individuals and I hope they either lose all credibility soon with their followers or get arrested. There's a comment on his post already that someone has donated 😞.
I reported Brokes live yesterday and it appears to have gone, where he was spouting on his pink drink curing all diseases possible and putting your body in an alkaline state which means it can resist cancer 😡. Fucking muppet

On another note Yawn has cropped up in a fitness group I'm in after the purchase of her new bands. She claims to be very excited at the arrival of the new bands and confirms (what we all thought) that she has 'ditched' the gym

Spongebobette · 20/10/2020 13:44

I wonder if she’s intending to recruit from your fitness group OH OF COURSE SHE IS

CodenameVillanelle · 20/10/2020 13:49

I've joined a 3000 squats in November challenge group raising money for refuge and unsurprisingly there are people shilling Herbalife in there Angry

I'm keeping my eyes out for any 'join my cult' posts and if you're reading this Yawn then hi and I'll be reporting you if you try.
