The FL bots are really hyping up whatever is coming next! With a few of them previously posting that collagen was a big seller now, I was thinking it might be a new skincare/collagen range or something like that but the way they are all going on, surely its gotta be a bit more exciting than that?

Have they reinvented the wheel, found something better than sliced bread or is it in fact the 2nd coming?!

Whatever is happening, I don't think it's gonna be as revolutionary as the bots are trying to make out!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 27/04/2024 15:37

I don't think FLP UK have an awful lot to announce, except possibly further amalgamation/streamlining meaning a scaling back of activities in the uk and closure of head office.
Pretty sure all they've got to offer are 'new' products teased at GR. I didn't pay much attention, but one skincare product and one with potentially lethal doses of taurine and caffeine?

Sugarplum48 · 27/04/2024 18:00

They are all trying to recruit from the same areas as well. How on earth is that going to work?

hurlyburlygirly · 27/04/2024 18:45

Yawn's ex bff's choice of latest posted picture is interesting 🤣

notgettinganyyounger · 27/04/2024 19:42

Yawn has a 'fancy lounge'

notgettinganyyounger · 27/04/2024 19:46

Yawns entire global rally has disappeared. How very odd. I wonder why, and the drama at the airport video gone!

DeliaDeetz · 27/04/2024 20:40

@notgettinganyyounger the airport video was full on cringe so I get why that has been deleted but surely a (supposedly) free 5star holiday to India to get a "massive" cheque is a great recruitment tool for a bot?
We all know Yawn likes to delete to change the narrative of her life when it suits but I'm surprised at the Global rally going so soon.

Angrymum22 · 27/04/2024 21:09

I wonder if Yawn’s airport rant has caused problems for FL. Or did she post photos that were sensitive. She was videoed “coaching” some delegates. Maybe their up line complained. Maybe she tried to recruit them to her downline.
She has also deleted any obvious product posts. Did head office spot the new recruit was a Tropic bot as well and Yawn is in trouble.
It is odd for her to spring clean her fb so soon after India.

Butterflyfluff · 27/04/2024 21:25

How very strange.

All recent posts about FL have vanished - airport rant, Global Rally, Collagen jizz earning opportunities, magical nails due to FL products

Not going to lie, I’m really hoping she’s been kicked out

ticktock19 · 27/04/2024 21:42

Oh fk off yawn with your pretend pity post...it's obviously because you've got most of a deli shop in your silly bumbag

The typos in Yawn’s posts that are left drive me insane too

  • It has bean a year
  • Port folio (2 words)

It’s not hard to spell check stuff if you are trying to impress people.

hurlyburlygirly · 27/04/2024 22:35

Has she lost the plot? Something has definitely happened. All references to forever removed yet xbff used an unflattering picture of her earlier on to trail 5 days to the new big collagen thing. (Now changed)

It all feels a bit like ding dong the witch is dead vibes, with xbff having a little gloat.

Irony is, she'd probably be quite good at a real life sales job. There are plenty of her type who do well in heavily commissioned roles. They're awful to work with but that's beside the point.

YouOKHun · 27/04/2024 22:35

Maybe HQ in the US is aware that TiA has been highlighting FLP’s many income claim lies and a link to one of Yawn’s posts was featured in their evidence, evidence that was sent to FLP HQ as well as many other organisations in the US. TiA has clout in the US and an active watch of MLM, much more clout or interest in MLM than Trading Standards, Which? Etc etc here. So I wonder if FLP had a bit of a look at Yawn’s content and told her there are a few things that need to go (just while the spotlight is on them). The airport rant can’t have helped her reputation in FL. I am glad that we’ve all been taking screen-shots!

None of the other bots have deleted anything as far as I can tell but I haven’t looked to see if her downlines’ copycat posts have gone. If they haven’t perhaps there is just an issue with Yawn. She’s left one Delhi post on FB which is very much a general “positive” post so that’s probably safe. Her claims have been getting more outlandish since India haven’t they?

Best case scenario for her is that she’s decided that the airport rant doesn’t fit the positivity narrative so she’s taken it down, even more likely that she’s been firmly told that the flight booking fuck up is all hers and so there’s no point in leaving the post on her feed ‘as a warning to others’ about VA. But that doesn’t explain why she’s removed other presumably useful posts about the GR, you’d have thought she’d be very keen to keep those visible.

Nice idea @Butterflyfluff but I fear too optimistic!

YouOKHun · 27/04/2024 22:50

in Yawn’s stories she’s talking about her one woman travelling circus that will be visiting the Welsh capital. She has a quick go at “negative people who tried and failed in the past. They’re in every industry”, and tells potential victims not to listen. There’s something slightly muted about her delivery, can’t put my finger on it. Something has gone on hasn’t it?

hurlyburlygirly · 27/04/2024 23:18

She's either out (voluntarily or otherwise) or suspended. There's no other reasonable explanation for her deleting all her forever linked India posts. They were the last evidence she had of her "luxury lifestyle."

They are gold in terms of luring people in and I don't understand why she would get rid unless she had to.

Perhaps they billed her for that flight in the end

Angrymum22 · 27/04/2024 23:18

I’ve been blocked by Yawn on insta, has she cleared that out as well?

WisteriaLodge · 27/04/2024 23:46

I thought Yawn was going to take her complaint about Virgin Atlantic "straight to the top" Ha ha......she got a bollocking from FL maybe? Doesn't look good when you bad mouth a company on social media for something that she should have checked...

hurlyburlygirly · 27/04/2024 23:54

Totally. I'd have got in trouble for doing that if I'd badmouthed any organisation while also referencing my employer. Really unprofessional.

Her judgement just isn't great though.

I can see the insta account but I've never followed it.

YouOKHun · 27/04/2024 23:59

@hurlyburlygirly I do wonder if you’re right about billing her for the flight. She might have sung FLP’s praises too quickly and now the invoice has been passed to her and her nose is out of joint and possibly a bit of negative feedback too, as you speculate @WisteriaLodge. It was quite an expensive flight so will be a worry if she or she and Scotbot need to pay.

I can’t see her Insta either @Angrymum22 so not sure, I think she puts it all on Stories.

YouOKHun · 28/04/2024 01:41

Headband Bot has PM’d me to tell me I’m really such a sad individual and she doesn’t answer questions from someone who treats her in such a disgusting manner. She hopes my life improves 😆

What on earth have you done I hear you ask. I’ve asked her for evidence for very specific claims about FLP products that she made publicly and suggested she ask her upline or the CM to furnish her with said evidence if she doesn’t have it to hand and I’ll wait. I have also refuted the idea that this polite request constitutes trolling. She is super touchy, she must know she’s on thin ice.

She mainly uses stories on Insta, it's where she's most active on social media, but doesn't put much on her grid. I've checked and the only reference to India is that sad walking clip she did at the Taj. You'll still be able to view most of her antics if you use a story viewer like Instanavigation.

notgettinganyyounger · 28/04/2024 08:39

So castles hubby has joined a veterans rugby team. She has met the most gorgeous recruits, I mean friends__

Butterflyfluff · 28/04/2024 15:28

There is definitely something going on - Yawn has just posted on FB about Marine Collagen but her fingers are over the FL logo?

It’s looking like she’s not allowed to represent the brand on social media…..

DogsAreBetterThanHusbands · 28/04/2024 15:40

I thought the not showing/naming the brand thing was a technique to get people to ask what her business is. For new followers anyway. And so they don't just google it and find out it's a load of crap. 🤣

I had an acquaintance that did Arbonne and she never posted the name of her 'bizness' just lots of fabulous lifestyle posts to try and get people curious enough to ask what it was. If anyone ever asked in the comments she would just reply, 'I'll PM you hun.'
