BOTWATCH 93! The latest in a long running anti MLM thread. We may be celebrating the demise of Forever Living MLM in the US but sadly MLM/network marketing is still pulling in victims using lies and manipulation … the botwatching continues …

Headband has used two lots of Yawn's 'before and after' photos in her latest FB story pushing the C9. Both say 'Yawn 18 months ago/Yawn now".
Aside from the fact that it's bollocks on both a results and timeline perspective, does Yawn have any agency on how her photos are used or does she just have to put up with it?!

no honour amongst thieves!

She’s copied and pasted from a bank of before and after photos available to the bots I suppose

Apart from the FL lies and deception, I’m struggling to understand why ‘house full of boys’ is in her bio when she has one son

I think she is counting her two male cats!

So yawn apparently has her first PT client…another mystery anonymous text 😏

Spongebobette · 19/08/2026 11:10

If it’s genuine, why does she think it’s appropriate and acceptable to share the message publicly?

Her Mum taking one for the team again! I really hope she's taking out the relevant insurance to train people in their own homes she really is walking into a minefield without this.

A savvy business person wouldn't act so desperate...it's off putting that she's so giddy (if it's true)

She also needs to be registered with the ICO as a PT because of the nature of the information a PT working independently is likely to hold. Techie is registered (but not for BaB) but that’s not relevant to what Yawn is doing. If Yawn is even aware of this requirement I wonder if she thinks Techie has the boring stuff covered? For someone who claims to know all about running a business this is a basic (and potentially expensive) oversight. Unless of course, Yawn has no clients.

I am wondering if Techie is quietly deprioritising BaB. Once the summer is over it will be interesting to see how present Techie is or whether there will be signs that Yawn is operating on a more solo basis (even if Techie is still managing the tech stuff). Yawn’s recent posts about toxic people two years ago and her mentioning her business partner in a definite way make me think she is still ruminating over it and needs to name check Techie because that association feels like it’s getting more tenuous.

hourglass2 · 19/08/2026 12:36

Yawn will need public liability insurance, I bet she's not thought of that.

I've never known someone to have met so many "toxic" people, when that happens you have to come to the conclusion that the lowest common denominator is the toxic person.....

And professional indemnity insurance.

No, she just thinks of the £££ she can make....rule number one in business sure is make everything is water tight regarding insurance and legalities, boring but an absolute must if you don't want it to come back and bite you

YouOKHun · 19/08/2026 17:26

Rictus is leaving me jaunty voice notes in Messenger. Honestly, I can’t even remember why she started but it’s being going on since January on a regular basis. Not once has she mentioned Forever Living in any of her communications. I wonder at what point they get a mention? Late in the recruitment process no doubt.

Why would someone earning £30k a month bother to hassle someone who has never responded and clearly isn’t interested? Mind you the Airbnb bookings have been patchy in August.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 19/08/2026 18:29

In her current FB story there's a photo of her looking like she's mid-manic-episode with a can of chicken soup and I don't even know where to begin

user1471446301 · 19/08/2026 18:45

I notice now Buildabear is £40 for all three offerings, I think it used to be £25 for each one or £60 special offer for 3. Still a rip off. I pay 45 a month for my local council run sports Centre that I can use anytime including 2 pools, sauna, steam room and a really good separate women's only gym which is always staffed with experienced fully employed PT's on hand to help you all included in the monthly membership. How can she compete with that

You’re absolutely right on the pricing, that’s a significant drop in price but as you rightly point out, still an absolutely ridiculous amount for what they’re ‘offering’. I’ve been a previous member of Team RH and Joe Wicks Bodycoach app both are around £7-8 a month and far better value. I need gym class participation though, I really don’t enjoy 1:1 pt as it just feels so intense and looking at a video whilst at home on my own does zero to motivate me. Standing in class with 10-20 people having a giggle does hugely motivate me and that’s why I’ll continue to pay for classes.

Exactly, Apps (as in real ones!) certainly have their place, especially if you don't live near or can't commit to a gym monthly membership, but nothing beats the real time Gym experience and in person classes and of course facilities. As you say Motivation is a huge factor in classes, 2 years ago I broke my knee (plates and screws needed) and this was invaluable I had women 18 to 80 cheering me on in real time, not some shitty whatsapp group Yawn provides with a beige lady holding a wand with an AI altered body shouting Penelope whilst the dogs are tripping her over in her shed whilst she 'teaches'.

I go to a weekly choreographed dance class which does a great warm up, cool down , plus dance routines which change style every 3 weeks - it’s £42 a month, the lovely young woman that set it up now has multiple branches and instructors - it’s both social and fun and great excercise, all ages and body shapes and you get to know the other women well. It’s way more fun than anything yawn is offering and the lady has a proper ‘bizniss’

Spongebobette · 20/08/2026 14:22

Another mother who has no hesitation in posting photos and videos of her children on open social media (and discussing their neurodivergence) is Homeschool. Even when they have asked her not to take photos!

What a car crash that women is. She’s just ‘finally’ introduced her Weird Willy lookalike to her youngest children (one month into the relationship) and there he is larking about with them and trying very hard

’our completely unhinged household’ posts too. Oh dear.

Yes @Crikeyalmighty this is more like it! A fun flourishing business that has been replicated and scaled up and making money, through this womens hard graft, business acumen and actually having the skills to do the Job! unlike Yawn who is lacking in each of those areas.

Absolutely no need for the children and WW2 to meet whatsoever. Especially at this early stage. She can entertain when they children are with WW1. I truly dispair as she lurches from grift to dick and repeat.

Just caught up with preacher bot, an absolutely awful update for him following an appt yesterday. I genuinely feel very sorry for him and hope he can get through the options offered.

Spongebobette · 20/08/2026 17:17

Yes bad news indeed

he seems to find comfort in sharing photos of himself staring into the camera alongside his health updates.

I do hope he has actual family and friends around him to support him and he’s not relying on just internet likes and comments

Nasty type and cruel disease. He has faith and I think a husband plus hopefully family and friends to give strength and support. He certainly can't rely on his Forever Family. The gloop should have flushed out toxins and promote liver health as the forever UK page proclaimed 5 months ago before they deleted it just after the FTC USA announcement. I wish you all the luck Preacher bot forget your bizzniss and concentrate fully on yourself.
