Castle ex bff is shocking. I actually have no words for all her parenting failures.

BSintolerant · 22/03/2023 23:33

Let’s hope that Castle’s BFF’s daughter turns into one of those rebellious teenagers who can’t abide her embarrassing mother and makes it her life’s work to make sure she doesn’t turn out to be anything like her.

I wonder if bots’ kids of will set up a support group in the future? Kids who’ve grown up in cults need all the help they can get. Can you imagine the first Hunspawn Anonymous meeting?

“My mumhun used to force me to drink aloe juice every day - it tasted like arse! She even made videos of me eating weird food covered in watery gravy which looked like it’d come out of an arse. I had to take out an injunction to get the Insta posts taken down.”

”I contested my mumhun’s Will because I didn’t want to inherit her Willable Forever business. Turned out there was nothing in the estate (something to do with a funeral director’s loan?) so that was a waste of all my hard earned crypto currency.”

”I have a panic attack every time I see a white Range Rover.”

”My mumhun was a Juice Plus bot who refused to have real fruit and veg in the house. I was 21 when I saw my first carrot. The first time I went to a fruit and veg shop I caused a disturbance when I mistook a pomegranate for a hand grenade. I was mortified when the bomb disposal unit turned up.” 😉💣

@SoosanCarter I agree. She is just 18 and I see she’s been encouraged to link her chronic gynae condition to FLP products on Insta - that’ll be an instruction from Yawn no doubt. Yawn says that FLP ticked all Mini Yawn’s boxes including the fact you can run an FLP “business” with “very low confidence”, [so perfect for Mini Yawn]; nice.

Mini Yawn may be an adult in the official sense of the word but in my experience 18-20 is a vulnerable age with all the legal freedoms of being 18 but with a lot to learn and a lot still to happen brain chemistry wise. It makes for a vulnerable period in life for many. If I was her parent I’d be intervening before she breaks up with Yawn’s DS and finds herself without a dog walking business and Yawn not returning her calls. Someone needs to help her find a proper path to follow that is not going to leave her socially, emotionally and financially vulnerable before she’s 19.

She's vulnerable; by the looks of things she left school at 16, became a dog walker and got together with Yawn's son who reading between the lines didn't finish college. She's ripe for exploitation and Yawn's doing exactly that.

HouseofHolbein · 23/03/2023 10:59

I'd be raging if I was mini Yawns mother. I have kids that age and they can be very impressionable.

Plus at 18 I don't expect relationships to last forever... so I wouldn't want my kids tying themselves into a boyfriends family like that.

SoosanCarter · 23/03/2023 11:15

The comments she made about the dog walking business are unforgivable.
If she really wanted to help, she could have proof read the poor girl’s advert, but then she’s not too good at punctuation herself.

Sugarplum48 · 23/03/2023 11:30

Beyond dreadful what Yawn is doing to that poor girl. To take advantage of such a young impressionable girl is border line grooming. Where are this girls parents and why are they not stepping in to stop this happening to her and more to the point why have the parents of said girl not done any research into Yawn;s failing business. Did anyone see S&n article bots video on her insta of them all at the awards ceremony. My god it was painful viewing. Yawns husband is looking increasingly uncomfortable around any the flp world. The only credit I would give any of these "women" is that they have brass necks shinier than a shiny thing on the flp hq mantelpiece!!!!

BSintolerant · 23/03/2023 11:37

I wonder if Yawn’s son’s girlfriend’s parents are aware of what Yawn’s up to? Undue influence springs to mind.

Bots are brainwashed by their uplines to lure people into network marketing by claiming that any legitimate businesses they’ve got aren’t making much money even though they’re working all hours, “… but then I discovered Forever Living and never looked back!” Bruv said this about the graphic design business he started after when he quit the police. If Forever Living is the key to financial freedom why did he get a paid job with FL and go back to into graphic design?

fromdownwest · 23/03/2023 17:42

I wonder how MLM's are going to cope with the current economic climate. Debt is becoming increasingly expensive to service, and the price of raw materials, and transport are rocketing. I imagine they have quite healthy marginsa the top.

So either those margins are squeezed, or the prices go up, or the payments to reps goes down.

Interesting times ahead!

YouOKHun · 23/03/2023 18:09

@fromdownwest yes, it will be interesting to see which MLMs can survive the rising costs and how they manage it (and who ultimately pays the price).

I wonder what the squeeze on MLM businesses is like at the Bot level - how successful is recruitment right now I wonder? We only see the people still falling for the scam but I am sure that many who would have been potential signs ups have become more risk averse and simply don’t have the cash to speculate. Or if they do sign up, they drop out quicker because they can’t afford to hang in there and their family and friends can’t afford to “support” them.

it will be interesting to see the accounts for some of these MLMs now the temporary boost of Lockdown is behind us. It’s about the only good thing that can come out of the current financial situation - a fatal blow for as many MLM as possible (though the wrong people will suffer sadly).

Sugarplum48 · 23/03/2023 18:30

You literally couldn't get any more crass than shaking a wad of cash around on your insta. Yawn you ain't P Diddy love!!

stockpilingallthecheese · 23/03/2023 22:20

What are the "huge investment costs" involved in becoming a dog Walker?

BSintolerant · 24/03/2023 00:06

The “huge investment costs” involved in becoming a dog walker were invented by Yawn. I’m sure those costs are far less than £199 for a so-called business in a box. I wonder if she’s alienated any of her dog walking clients by pestering them with aptly-named PUPP boxes?

YouOKHun · 24/03/2023 00:25

I also saw something a while back about Mini Yawn being neuro divergent (I can’t remember where it was now). It’s something I do have direct experience of and it’s an extra layer of vulnerability that Yawn is exploiting. It will be very overwhelming and difficult to recover from if when her FLP endeavours go tits up and especially if she loses all strands because she splits with the DS. She already has zero engagement on SM - what’s that going to do for her “low confidence”? Yawn really doesn’t give a shit.

Mini Yawn’s parents really need to step in and guide her away from Yawn asap but I wonder if they think Yawn is doing a marvellous job of taking Mini Yawn under her wing? I fear I saw a “like” from someone I assume to be a parent which doesn’t bode well.

How many bots were exploited to pull together fifteen hundred quid in used notes to wave around on FB and make further false income claims?

It appears that Mr Acti has cut Messiah loose and the latter is now trying to lead his deluded disciples to join Organo (of mushroom coffee fame) under him...

YouOKHun · 24/03/2023 09:49

@Twentytwentyhindsight I’ve been searching these threads to remind myself of when Organo Gold was last the subject of conversation. There were a large group of Xerveo reps who got stung and went to OG, all sunk without trace now. This will feel like the good old days to Messiah, back when he was recruiting for Vida Divina. Same heart attack coffee, same scam. What a shame many will feel they have no choice but to follow him. For him the warehouse fire was super convenient, less so for Mr Acti.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/03/2023 10:03

Wasn't Broke briefly vaunting the merits of his magic mushroom coffee?

Spongebobette · 24/03/2023 10:45

Is it necessary to film and post your toddler’s tantrums??

Norma27 · 24/03/2023 11:28

@Spongebobette how did I immediately know who you were talking about? Just so hard to believe her and ex bff used to be police!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/03/2023 14:42

In Castle's world, seafood is vegan 🙄

BSintolerant · 24/03/2023 21:54

Perhaps fish think Castle is a vegetable.

Sugarplum48 · 24/03/2023 23:08

Yawn thinks raowns and fish products are vegetarian also. Go figure 🤔

Sugarplum48 · 25/03/2023 07:51

Jesus does yawn keep that cash wad in her back size 10 Jean pocket?? It's actually beyond distasteful to post pictures like this.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/03/2023 20:47

I noticed that the photo of an Arizona landscape posted by Fierce on FB 3 days ago was actually a stock photo dating back a few years.

I was suspicious of the photo purportedly of her sitting on a rock contemplating the landscape and 'experiencing the energy' so I did a reverse image search and it is actually an Arizona Tourism promotional photo from 2 years ago.

As fierce rightly says on her latest post "there's a lot of smoke and mirrors, you have to spot the real deal"...

BSintolerant · 25/03/2023 21:06

Speaking of smoke, I hope Fierce isn’t overwhelmed by energy when she meets a shaman or two in the next few days or she might end up being revived with one of these …
