This is an interesting thread - but I'm lost. Do you all know these people referred to as 'Fierce', 'Castle etc.

SnoogyWoo · 23/08/2022 15:55

Is Yawn now expecting people to pay her for personal training, flailing her arms around holding some dumbbells? Not a great deal of money to be made in a PT business so she must be really struggling for ideas.

Ohnonevermind · 23/08/2022 16:04

Yawn must have had a serious alcohol problem if her liver was affected.

Good she turned her life around.

Hi @ecosystem and welcome to the thread.
Over the years, many of the MLM bots whose egregious activities & lies have been exposed on these threads have put in complaints and threats leading to MN threatening to close them down if anyone's real name is mentioned.
Over time, those bots have been given various pseudonyms instead, usually linked to their claims or events occurring in their MLM careers.
Castle Bot, for example, is a (now former) Forever Living bot who was at the time identified as a useful recruitment tool for a younger 'social media savvy' audience. FL gave her a hand up the greasy pole so that she could project an enviable lifestyle, a major component of which was being able to live in a 'castle' thanks to her FLP 'earnings'. She let everyone believe she had bought the said castle (and her brother explicitly said she had) whereas it was actually a short-term rental. Hence the monicker she was given.
I am currently on holiday (thanks to having a proper J.O.B.) with limited access to internet. I'm sure other regulars and stalwarts of these threads could give you pointers an hints as to the identities of the various bots mentioned if you really need them.

Some of things she's said since giving up are big red flags for having (had) a problem with alcohol for sure.

Spongebobette · 23/08/2022 18:47

Castle prepared really poorly for her ‘lives’

i watched a bit of one where she wasn’t sure whether she was talking about a fight/ flight response and it segued into a flight/ fear one

absolute drivel

PieonaBarm · 23/08/2022 19:27

Yawn is now offering a "free" coaching session "worth £25" when you order all 3 crazy FL Starvation Systems from her.

Since when is she qualified to offer weight loss coaching?

terrywynne · 23/08/2022 21:22

Did anyone else see this BBC article? www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62466147 Not MLM per se but an awful lot of crossover in terms of the language of hustling, entrepreneurship, 6 figure incomes (which don't materialize) No starter packs to buy but expenses and highly toxic competitive challenges...

BSintolerant · 23/08/2022 21:26

The lies bots tell to part fools with their money - they’re becoming more brazen by the minute! 🤣

Over the past six years or so I’ve lost count of the number of times Yawn has boasted about being in good health due to all the aloe vera gel she drinks, and all the dress sizes she’s dropped after doing C9s. That alleged size 12 has had more lives than a damned cat! However, she’s now claiming she was seriously unhealthy and in danger of a visit from The Grim Reaper (she’d try to recruit him if he turned up at The Thatch swishing his scythe). Picture the scene:

Yawn: [… blather, bullshit, bullies, trolls, C9, eleventy zillion pounds, amaaaaaayyyyyzing opportunity.] “You’d be ever so good at this: I can show you how. It’s called Forever Living!”

Death: HA HA HA ! ! !

BSintolerant · 23/08/2022 21:36

Interesting article @terrywynne

I think the BBC is being careful what they say about Credico. Direct sales / social selling. If it Eeeks like an MLM …

Here’s another disturbing article on the same pyramidesque company:

DecemberGal · 24/08/2022 09:23

If Yawn has a drinking problem she is not a good advert for a health &wellness product.
Is Castle dragging her family around on a perpetual holiday between their home on wheels and fierces abode. I do fear for the childrens education in the current times.

Spongebobette · 24/08/2022 10:36

The children are used as props and the holidays are used as content for social media
nothing is sacred, everything is shared online and the images exist forever on the internet

NormalForNuneaton · 24/08/2022 10:54

It's interesting looking at the holiday situation with bots as they try to portray this carefree lifestyle with the flexibility and income to travel but they actually seem to have less holidays than most people I know.

Castle has her motorhome so numerous short UK breaks but trips abroad are "on the cheap" (staying with Fierce, villa rented through friends, budget airlines). Yawn rarely goes anywhere unless FL related although I think one year recently she had a brief trip to Spain, but not even a full week IIRC. She doesn't even make a weekend of it when visiting new team members in Devon for example.

The only one holidaying is Uber and then she seems to leave hubby at home half the time, probably with a list of jobs to do on the house. A lot of her holidays though just seem to be the same old FL working but from her holiday home instead as that doesn't seem to be rented out very often.

Ohnonevermind · 24/08/2022 11:08

When my kids were young, we did all lovely inclusive hotels in the canaries rather than a villa in the arse end of nowhere. We didn’t use villa’s because of nervousness around pools - you can see it’s not fenced off so not safe for a toddler whose walking

They seem to spend their time sitting in the hot tub though 🤣 and Castle photoshopping pictures

fromdownwest · 24/08/2022 11:29

I totally agree, if you were really on six figures, I know for a fact that you would not book a holiday in your mates house In Europe.

Ohnonevermind · 24/08/2022 11:41

Castle’s income has taken a drop. She’s still spending money, but i think she must be thinking about moving to Lanzarote. How
I don’t know what mr castle will do there. They’ll have to decide quickly before school starts back and they (her parents) fork out for fees

Spongebobette · 24/08/2022 11:45

Ex BFF taking non stop pics of her poor kids in airport/ on plane

give them a break from being constantly on your social media you selfish woman

Yes she’s restless and wants a new shiny thing - I predict they’ll go to Lanza. Prob get a cheap deal on a villa over the autumn/ winter and she’ll justify interrupting her son’s education by saying he’s getting ‘life experience’ or something

DecemberGal · 24/08/2022 12:09

Instead of shiny new things doesn’t she realise that investing in your childrens education is priceless. I speak from experience so enjoy retirement now without selling gunk.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/08/2022 13:03

Castle has invested in her eldest's education, as he attends a fee-paying school. However, she seems to have made this choice mainly because private schools have a much more relaxed attitude to children being taken out of school during term time for 'look, another holiday!!!' photo opportunities...

Spongebobette · 24/08/2022 13:09

And photo ops with him in a private school uniform (which of course identifies where he goes to school, and his full name is on the internet - does she never think of Safeguarding?)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/08/2022 13:12

The school also appears to be pretty relaxed about parents driving Chelsea tractors up the school lane while simultaneously holding their phone to video their non-seatbelt-wearing child...

Ohnonevermind · 24/08/2022 14:34

i wonder who will be footing next terms fees, castle or her parents

Spongebobette · 24/08/2022 14:47

The siblings know no restraint or boundaries
Bruv is now sharing screenshots of the family WhatsApp

DecemberGal · 24/08/2022 15:56

After the murder of that child. They seriously need to take stock. They are supposed to be ex police 👮🏼. We have mentioned this before but everything and everybody is just click bait. Even pets .
