IMO there’s something wrong with Rictus Bot. She’s packing daily presents for her daughter while they are on a 3 week Disney holiday so that every day is like Christmas

her poor daughter does not need daily presents or huge amounts of money spending on her - she does need protecting from being filmed and her image shared online though

I just can't watch my blood pressure can't stand it. Another one going out of term time too even on those 30k months.

@user1471446301 this does annoy me - Bristol airport had an awful lot of school aged kids there recently mid week in March - I get that people are trying to shoe horn in cheaper holidays abroad but why not go end of May etc - the fines clearly aren’t high enough to be a disincentive

Exactly this. The thing is with Rictus she constantly wanting to recruit teachers to get them out of education to be with their babies! soon she will be moaning her child is behind due to term time holidays and teachers are leaving in droves! she can't have it both ways.

Spongebobette · 15/04/2026 12:02

She is teaching her daughter all the wrong values

What is this 30x formula nonsense that the FL bot with the Italian name (initials BB) is going on about? Castle is also named in the ‘global event’

OP posts:
dickiedavisthunderthighs · 15/04/2026 12:20

Absolutely agree - there is something seriously weird about this constant stream of gifts. Where is the money coming from? What does Rictus’s H do because the money certainly isn’t coming from FL despite what she says. Something smells seriously off, and it’s not the fishy collagen.

Spongebobette · 15/04/2026 12:23

Oh it’s ‘30x formula - 30 days 30 leaders 30x your life’

looks like someone’s gathered the biggest gobshites in NWM and put them together

Since when has BaB been “award-winning”!?

Spongebobette · 15/04/2026 14:34

Where is she claiming that?

Post plugging the amazing affiliate scheme

user1471446301 · 15/04/2026 16:34

Her gussets flaming again I bet she is referring to that made up vanity award Solopreneur in December 2025 where she was nominated (probs by herself) in two categories
'Empowerment Coach' and 'Best Membership Group Programme'. Considering her and Techie were already partners in Dec 2025 she didn't get a look in. It was way too pricey for Yawn to attend and if you didn't attend you didn't win your acrylic stand with a sticker on.

I've just looked and it's on again for 2026 you just nominate yourself by pressing a button. "Apply for yourself or your own business - this is your moment to be seen, heard, and celebrated".

Fools and their money are easily parted, what a crock of shit.

There really is zero engagement on her BH posts isn't there.

Don't worry her visibility workshop in June will fix that!

@user1471446301 ha ha- so true- honestly if I was her I would just accept there isn’t a market -people with serious businesses that aren’t coaching or dog walking etc want far more experience and bang for the buck and people doing a bit of something often simply don’t have spare cash -

Crikeyalmighty · 16/04/2026 09:44

@user1471446301 there you are a bit of free coaching from me on market positioning - it would make more sense to do this as ad supported ( and free to use ) on tick tock or YouTube as a sideline to a conventional job that might bring in a bit extra -

Oh my word. The FTC have spoken on Forever Living, and Behind MLM have done god's work and unpacked it all.

TL/DR is that they could have continued the MLM side in the US but realised they couldn't without continuing with deceptive income claims.

The other offices, including UK should be rightfully shitting themselves.

Spongebobette · 16/04/2026 12:47

Wow that’s a brilliant breakdown of the shitshow

so all the UK bots will have to stop making income claims won’t they!

YouOKHun · 16/04/2026 13:00

@dickiedavisthunderthighsI shall go and have a read of that but I can imagine the honest statement from FLP is,

“Our business runs on deception which comes from us and is encouraged and rewarded by us among the FBOs. We have always been happy with this as it’s been lucrative, but if it’s going to get expensive for us now there is attention on us we will quit, having amassed plenty of money and try and ring-fence what we have. The other countries? We will milk it for a bit but if it falls away it won’t be us losing out. Who gives a shit about all those bot customers? We never have”.

There has to be some real concern in the other countries, especially ones in very steep decline like the UK. Those Forever Business Owners are about to find out they own nothing at all. It will be interesting to see what someone like Bloodsucker does. Announces her “retirement” and quits in the nick of time?

Spongebobette · 16/04/2026 13:03

Uber is on a posting spree about all the time freedom and travel that her business has given her

So, after this ruling, what CAN bots actually claim without getting into trouble?

Well, according to Headband's latest story, you can coerce your child into making spurious health claims from his booster seat.

Spongebobette · 16/04/2026 14:57

Is ‘stops you getting a cough’ a health claim?

OP posts:
dickiedavisthunderthighs · 16/04/2026 15:16

Feels like a pretty concrete health claim to me 😂

ticktock19 · 16/04/2026 18:43

Am sure you brilliant folks will come up with the perfect nicknames for Yawn and Techies Ai bots 🙄
