Broke’s Ex (now recently married, but definitely not to Broke) is pushing some crypto/Forex scam & claiming that she has made a mint in ‘passive’ income. Which prompted this comment on one of her FB posts…

I wonder how long it will be before she zaps that little gem?!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 23/07/2022 22:53

Yawns managed to photoshop her belly button out of her latest photo on her fitness group.

PieonaBarm · 23/07/2022 23:35

Her leg on the left as you look at her is also very oddly shaped

BSintolerant · 24/07/2022 01:38

It amuses me how artists always paint Eve with a belly button. 🤣Has Yawn photoshopped hers to oblivion to show us that she was in the garden of Eeeeeekden well before Eve? It’s only a matter of time before she orders Mr Yawn up that ladder, wearing nothing but a fig leaf, to take her photo. Will she cover her modesty with two juicy apples? Will she be tempted by a snake with Castle’s head photoshopped to its non-rattling end? “Follow me to Sssssssssscamiverssssity!”🍎 🐍 🍏 It’s like snakes and ladders gone wrong!

Angrymum22 · 24/07/2022 11:52

I think I have worked out Castles reason for joining with Fierce - free holidays or are they business trips for important meetings in the pool. They obviously flew cattle class because there were no obligatory photos in first class.

Spongebobette · 24/07/2022 12:12

I’m sure the flights, including Bruv’s, are a ‘business expense’
so the poor ‘university’ students are paying for it

PieonaBarm · 24/07/2022 12:55

Bruv is just an immature protessional hanger-on. I reckon when he was in the cops he was what is known as a "professional backer" waiting for someone else to shout up for a job then offering to back. Making it look like he's busy but not taking on any work himself.

Spongebobette · 24/07/2022 13:05

He’s incredibly immature
wherever he us he videos people when they aren’t aware and uses it in his social media
i’ve noticed his ‘friends’ are quite watchful now when he gets his phone out

fromdownwest · 24/07/2022 14:56

It’s quite telling the circle of friends all the boys keep.
BFF birthday was with yoga hot and another boy local to her, no one else.
castle is with fierce and bro bot.

Clearly, no one outside of MLM can stomach them, and have distanced themselves- so their only friends are fellow bots.

It is quite tragic really

YouOKHun · 24/07/2022 15:05

@ArbunneHun it just shows that for all the adoring and naive “well done Hun” posts there are others (possibly the majority), usually silent, who know they’ve been scammed. What a shame they sound like a lone voice when they do comment. I imagine her reach is quite local to her and makes me wonder who in her local community is gunning for her.

Apologies for the unforgivable amount of typo's! I could be a proof reader for Castle's insta at this rate!

YouOKHun · 24/07/2022 16:03

When I look at the bots local to me and the way they’ve exploited friendships I can fully see why they need to retreat inside the World of MLM for their friendships. Not that those MLM ties are real friendships. People in their real lives can see the reality of the life of people such as Castle or Yawn, in contrast to the SM highlights and step ladders, and so draw their own conclusions. Neither can Yawn block and delete her neighbours or fellow parents at school etc. I always love it when people here can add a bit of local perspective such as @NormalForNuneaton ‘s insider knowledge of Yawn’s locale.

It takes a while for their behaviour to get around the local area though. We used to have a big Arbonne thing going on around where I live, the architect of this infestation was a local VP. She did lots of negative things to different groups of people but eventually she did enough for stories to start to cross over. One particular example was suddenly love-bombing one local woman who she barely knew, when she discovered she had breast cancer. It started off with people saying “she’s so supportive” but then it became clear to this woman that she was pushing the Arbonne opportunity. The woman quietly distanced herself but didn’t say much to others so it didn’t particularly notice. Then the Arbonne VP set up a wellness group for women going through the menopause. She strong-armed a few into Arbonne and one lost a lot of money and when she finally threw in the towel, instead of keeping it to herself she confessed to a friend that she felt she’d been scammed. This conversation was repeated and the friend’s sister said, “yep that’s the one who I thought was a friend but was just trying to exploit my BC diagnosis”. Suddenly that’s a big group of people who won’t have anything to do with the Arbonne woman anymore. Her type of ruthlessness has a short window before RL people make the connections. That’s if they’re not already fed up with the pestering. Then if the Huns are really unlucky one of those people in their local area will be very anti MLM and will have been watching them over time and taking screenshots and will make sure people hear about the behaviour 😉.

in the case of this Arbonne VP, she persuaded her husband to move, ripped her kids out of school, moved about 30 miles away then left her family and went off with some kind of mindset coach. Doesn’t seem like she needed a mindset coach as she clearly had the right mindset already 😒. She seems to have gone fairly quiet on the Arbonne front but hasn’t repaired her reputation. She is not popular and has to get her adoration online where what she is really like is somewhat obscured.

Spongebobette · 24/07/2022 16:14

Yes and even the internal friendships are not genuine

look at how Castle’s ex BFF, with whom she has a planner business, no longer has anything to do with her and now describes another bot as her BFF

And Yawn was super close to her BFF in FL ….until suddenly she wasn’t. Wonder what happened there

Spongebobette · 24/07/2022 18:33

Sleaze has a 6 day FB ban
i hope I contributed to it with all the reports I made yesterday on his batshit crazy health posts

YouOKHun · 24/07/2022 20:06

Me too @Spongebobette. he’s really been going for it with the Monkey Pox conspiracies and sun cream is toxic stuff hasn’t he?. For the next 144 hours we are going to have to get our financial and health advice elsewhere unless we are prepared to sign up to hear him ranting away on Trump’s distinctly dodgy Truth Social. No thanks Sleaze, I chose the 6 days of silence option. Wig needs silencing too.

BangingOn · 24/07/2022 20:27

He really is living life professionally.

Spongebobette · 24/07/2022 20:54

he recommends having a ‘smash list’ . I think he means a to do list
very professional

BSintolerant · 24/07/2022 21:43

I dread to think if that’s a list of people or tasks. What colour is the sky on Planet Sleaze?

If she is now with another MLM which is firmly dressed up as not an MLM but definitely is, .... then I think I know her.....

PieonaBarm · 24/07/2022 22:19

Ooh, just looked at Sleazes FB. He's going for Shingles now too.

Well Sleaze, I've had shingles, was really poorly thanks, it does exist. Also the non-existent Covid I contracted caused my Kidneys to completely fail. That was pretty real too.

YouOKHun · 24/07/2022 22:53

Oooh @definitelynotabot. She could be with another disguised MLM (Ive not tracked her much lately) but I think she is still Arbonne but it’s much more carefully hidden behind menopause health coaching. This one has the initials SG.

Ah different bot . Scarily similar story though!

Can someone help me find Yawn’s fitness group please? Is it on FB?

I've often thought this. Yawn for example never posts any events that aren't FL related. No mate popping in for a coffee. No out for dinner with friends. No shopping with a mate. No group friend holidays or even weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs. Just a revolving door of new desperate, motley huns... Costa in the services at Brum if they are lucky. Even FL BFF is now exBFF by the looks of it.

Nurse's friends dropped off as she persisted with FL. She even unfriended a load when they questioned a dodgy post for being 'unkind'. By the end she had no one but her mum and apparently Yawn was her firm best friend in the early days.

Some organisations have a tactic that involves disestablishing oneself from friends and family with the aim that the 'new friends and family' take their place....No comment.
