Sleaze's Facebook updates of Goa, which I am sure is a beautiful and culture rich place, are really making me not want to ever go there. A manky beach bar, what I think is his accommodation where he walks round and the walls, tree and air con unit are covered in crap (I was thinking Legionnaires TBH) and if we're mega lucky we might get to stroke a scrawny cow on some random street. Where's my passport!

Yawn’s top 1% post ends with an intriguing question:

“Who wants to be in the planets [sic] top 1% ??? I know I do”

I am puzzled: is Yawn now claiming that she is in the planet’s top 1%? If I were to put Yawn’s missing apostrophe at the end of the word planets’ (like that) we could also conclude that Yawn is in the top 1% of Forever Living’s operations on every planet in the universe. Are we to conclude that Forever Living has gone beyond global and is now universal, or even inter-galactic?
I’m beginning to wonder what colour the sky is on Yawn’s planet.

definitelynotabot · 27/01/2023 18:03

Proof enough that she really is on a different planet.

As to what colour sky? She will tell you it's whatever colour you want it to be.

Sleaze quoting his hero Andrew Tate over on FB.

@PieonaBarm Sleaze’s FB pics of his travels are not very Conde Nast Traveller are they? More like a sex tourist’s holiday snaps. He’s is so deserving of the Sleaze label, he makes my flesh crawl.

spanfan · 27/01/2023 18:27

Having stayed in dame hotel as Sleaze in Wales I can tell you he is a sleazebag. Louder that everyone else and just a bit of a dick.

spanfan · 27/01/2023 18:28

Same hotel. Was lovely though with no dodgy aircon 💪😎

YouOKHun · 27/01/2023 18:39

@spanfan wasn't Sleaze travelling with a bag of carrots or am I mis-remembering?

Darcey’s Candles, not a much discussed MLM has gone tits up. Mainly known for being always keen to recruit under 18s.

My Darcey's Candles seller managed to find another company that sells the same products within 12 hours of Darcey's going under. I'm assuming this is a rebirth under a different name, but am I just a cynic? She's refusing to name the new company until she can do a big reveal later.

YouOKHun · 27/01/2023 19:39

Darcey’s was offering FB training to new recruits and people were signing up to Darcey’s earlier this week. Then a quick email to reps and the website was immediately taken down.

Back in October the owner incorporated another company of a very similar name and there is quite a lot of money swilling around. So Darcey’s owner has been planning this without a care for MLM reps or employees. Apparently she is starting a shop for her daughter after whom the MLM is named.

Some “top” reps are defending the owner saying that she’s pulled the plug because of a personal matter (and I’m sorry for her if that’s the case), but there is no way she needed to damage people in the way she has.

@ElegantlyTouched there are tons of this kind of MLM; your Darcey’s person might well have gone out of the frying pan and into the Scentsy fire. You could be right about a rebirth; leave all the reps out of pocket with old stock no one wants and then rebadge and sell the same shite with different packaging etc. just like TS Life’s mutation into Reminiscience. It’s a shame your bot has signed up to get shafted by a different company.

I seem to remember Sleaze was spotted with a bag of carrots. I wonder if he’d bought them to feed Wig’s hairpiece?

YouOKHun · 27/01/2023 22:54

@BSintolerant The bag of carrots was probably was probably some sort of Covid wellness solution dreamt up by that mad Nurse and Sleaze.

Take a punch of six carrots, with the first three carrots put one up each nostril and one very large carrot in the mouth to block out horrible contamination from the vaccinated. Then take two further carrots and place one in each ear to prevent yourself from hearing any evidence based information.

What he does with the sixth carrot is anyone’s guess and best not to think about it.

BSintolerant · 27/01/2023 23:49

😂🤣🥕🍑🥕 @YouOKHun That’s enough to bring tears to anyone’s eyes! 🤣

SoosanCarter · 28/01/2023 07:18

I’ve reported Yawn’s ridiculous post about weight loss as false health claims.

Sugarplum48 · 28/01/2023 08:44

Absolutely disgusting that yawn is now very dangerously promoting fat blockers. She states you can eat a entire pizza and essentially not gain weight as long as you buy her fat blocker. That's a incredibly spurious claim to say the least

spanfan · 28/01/2023 10:53

Yes. I was looking out at the lovely view and he went to his car... to retrieve a bag of carrots. ( yes, I am a v nosy person)

Spongebobette · 28/01/2023 11:30

I think we need to start calling her Brows again 🤣

NormalForNuneaton · 28/01/2023 12:36

WTF is going on with Yawn's filters and camera angles?!

She looks like a bobble-head on that fat blockers post

Myusername2015 · 28/01/2023 18:22

Yawn’s Begging post to all of her weight loss group saying she won’t be allowed to do the walking challenge unless she gets to £250 and everyone in the group should be donating because she provides so much free fitness and diet tips. You would think a a forever millionaire would be able to add the extra £100 she is short wouldn’t you?!

Sugarplum48 · 28/01/2023 18:32

I find brows fat blocker claims frightening. There was a big write up ( l forget where) about how they are just a placebo

So to claim you can mosh a whole pizza and you won't gain weight it dreadful

BSintolerant · 28/01/2023 19:02

Yawn’s a CF begging for donations. Can’t she dip into the Yawn millions she’s allegedly made after being with Forever Living for over ten years? Even better, why can’t she ask the CEO of Forever Living to sponsor her? She’s given him and the shareholders lots of money over the years.

Those fat blocker claims are outrageous. What will the ASA have to say about her?

YouOKHun · 28/01/2023 20:26

@BSintolerant This morning I reported reported that post and others in a similar vein to the ASA. I know I’m not the first to do so. The fat blockers post was a step too far. The ASA asks for screen shots as well as links when it comes to SM stuff as they know the likes of Yawn are prone to dirty deletion.

in other news, the Darcey’s owner has proudly announced the new business is open for business (a shop selling the stock she was selling to reps for them to keep in their garages and spare rooms). Some not very happy people on insta. Darcey’s were recruiting on Wednesday, email to say they’re closing the next morning and moments later the website went down. Lots of very upset people out of pocket. She’s fine, £600k+ in the coffers. Nice…

BSintolerant · 28/01/2023 20:41

At this rate we’ll have to have a secret handshake @YouOKHun 😉

The Darcey’s owner is yet another CF, but this is the world of MLM so we shouldn’t be surprised. I wonder if her new venture will go up in smoke - she must’ve upset a lot of people.

Sugarplum48 · 28/01/2023 23:00

I will also be reporting yawn. The amount of people with eating disorders who will buy into these awful claims is distressing at best. I hope she sees what she is doing and stops. I doubt it though as her apparent wealth is more important than the health and well-being of vulnerable people.

fromdownwest · 29/01/2023 09:19

I would assume that asa would pull them up in a second.

blocks calories - totally untrue, medically impossible and misleading at best

EXbff also guilty of stating that they block calories from wine.

I would suggest a blanket complaint would be useful.

Exbff’s new mate, and ex architect is also guilty of doing it
