Not gonna lie… this is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever uploaded 😂
The thumbnail for this is too cute!! 😹😻
I saw the title for this and immediately got excited!!!
Agreed!
That girl, "If this company is wrong, all direct sales should be looked at too," from the documentary. Mam, yes, please have the FTC look at all the other MLMs too. That is the FREAKING GOAL!
We would love that!! 😂🙌🏼
That woman also bought into the plastic surgery. She looked nothing like the woman she was when she joined. She ended up looking like another Lularoe fembot.
True! 😂
Exactly! It’s just like “…yes. Yes, that’s what we’re asking for!”
Ikr!
I drove delivery for Amazon for about five months (quit because my back hurt ALL THE TIME) but I honestly had a decent experience and I made $18.50 an hour. The hours were long but I didn't feel exploited or abused like a lot of people do at Amazon. Do I still COMPLETELY believe that those Amazon employees weren't given bathroom breaks, were pushed well beyond human limits, etc? Absolutely. I am not loyal to a corporation. I fully believe that if Amazon could get away with paying nothing they would.
Most truckers in any company are known to skip bathroom breaks or better yet, pee in a bottle, just to reach their destination faster; it’s not a unique phenomenon and it’s certainly not mandated.
The truck driving is the best position in Amazon. And that’s kinda sad cause it’s okay but it isn’t good. Warehouse is a dystopian hellscape I’ll never go back
Same I drive for DoorDash and I have never had a bad experience from the company , doesn’t mean other folks haven’t
Every company would pay their workers nothing if they could. That’s why labor laws are so important
$18.50 is still not a lot of money for such a high-risk/active job. I’d also be curious about the benefits, PTO, healthcare, etc. Was this full-time or part-time? I also know they are anti-union. I know you had a pleasant experience but you are still being taken advantage of. That work is so important and delivery is literally what keeps their company running. They are not paying you what you’re worth.
So strange how they promote parents being able to work from home and be present with their children when the reality is that they’re literally sitting there ignoring their kids while cold messaging strangers 19 hours a day. How is that more present than a mom who works a 9-5 and disconnects from her job when she comes home to actually spend time with her children? These people make me facepalm. 😂
THIS THIS THIS!!!!!! They don't wanna be honest with these people and tell them when it comes to their "opportunity", being a stay at home mom does NOT mean you'll be a present one.
@@brettneygibbs9047 so true
And you still get blamed for not doing enough if you're struggling to succeed
Thank You!!!! This is exactly right!!’ You see it all of the time on social media.
@@CallMeMeepMeIfYouWannaReachMe "If I was working a 9-5 job, I would have come to my kid's presentation at 7-8 and then have to run to work. Instead, I'm doing this pich while they do the presentation!"
The long comment that mentions "I choose joy" is giving me some strong Rachel Hollis vibes
MLMers love her (more culty vibes)
It reminded me of bioshock lmao
Omg not Rachel Hollis
Rachel Martin? She has the choosing joy website. But they are so similar anyway, could be both.
Translation: "I choose bankruptcy"
“No one said network marketing is easy.” Umm yes they do! That’s the main pitch to get people to be distributors 🙄
Lol, true
"Full-time pay for part-time work"
@@barbaral743it's not even that can you get a bonus check and they expect you to buy something new fancy and expensive to show off everybody that money just sits there I don't like Mark every time he talks he my hair on the back of my neck stands up he is manipulator Plus he's a Mormon and I'm not trying to push it on any all the Mormons I know I know a lot of really good Mormons that are friends of mine 26:00 26:00 26:00 26:00 26:00 26:00 26:00
That's what got me to join AIL.
“I’m going to choose joy today” made me roll my eyes so hard it gave me a headache.
Also. It’s. Not. Your. Business. You sell their crap for them, and try to get other people to as well.
It reminds me of drug dealers lol
Saying what you are going to 'choose' to believe is one of the standard statements by deluded people everywhere.
It's standard mealy-mouthed Christian babble.
What's the issue with choosing joy? A mlm isn't joy, but in general, choosing joy is actually a good thing.
The Internet has a lot of miserable people suffering from depression. They hate anything and anyone who is genuinely joyful. Depression is an awful demon.
@@freeinghumanitynow MLM schemes have long been associated with the self-help/motivational industries, so its really just a very stereotypical thing for a mlm hun to say.
Husband and I watched LuLaRich and kept pausing it to discuss each and every point where the founders could have gone a different direction and not ended up in absolute pyramid scheme implosion. We own a business with a retail side. Mark and Deanne didn’t go the route they did because they want to “empower women”. They did it because they could make more money that way. Their greed became a runaway freight train.
Every time they showed they number of retailers… I said “They could have just stopped here!” Then eventually saying “They should have stopped at 100 retailers…”
Founders are narcissists.
Agreed. Especially about the freight train.
It’s honestly highly concerning that people are being presented so much evidence and different points of views but still believe it’s just “hate” or “misinformation”. It’s totally okay to change one’s mind after learning new information. I guess they are so brainwashed that they can’t even see past their own delusions and lies.
Completely agree! At some point it almost seems like they are choosing to just not pay attention to any viewpoint that goes against what they believe, no matter how true or factual it is
Sunk cost fallacy
I wouldn't be suprised if some of them didn't watch it but were told to leave bad reviews by their upline.
It's called cognitive dissonance.
@@yourlocalnerd7788 I bet you’re right!
13:30 _"Why? Why try to mess with other people's livelihood? This is how some of us provide for our family and because you feel a personal vendetta and you feel you need to stick it to the owners you don't care who you hurt along the way."_
This is like a robber shaming you for calling the cops after they broke into your house because _"this is how they provide for their family and you're hurting them"_ oh, they're hurting *you* Hun when *you're literally stealing from other people on the daily???* I can't with these people I swear to God.
Right? “Why are you interfering with me literally scamming hundreds or thousands of dollars from other women! Ho dare you!”
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but after that “whambulance” review, I have to comment…
A huuuuge part of these people’s problem is that they lack EMPATHY. Okay, good for you, the company was a positive impact on your life. But that doesn’t negate the fact that it affected other people’s lives in a negative way. That’s why it’s so easy to call these people a cult.
I left a toxic job. That’s true for me. But it could also be true that it’s actually an enjoyable job for people who still work there. How can people not see that?! It’s literally real life for people’s experiences to be different in certain environments, especially somewhere like a job, and the fact that mlm-ers hear these stories and say “well that didn’t happen to ME, so it’s not true!” is so so telling. Damn shame.
Yes I completely agree!! All of this comes up later in the video too!
@@HannahAlonzo I did watch the rest and was happy it came up more, I was just so irrtated after that first comment I had to rant😂
Thank you for these videos and the respectful and calm way you make your arguments! I could not be as nice as you😂😂
This is an excellent, insightful comment!
I have a coworker that complains to HR about things that I think aren't that big of a deal, that doesn't change that for them it's not okay... to them a specific chair is worth fighting over to me I am just happy to have a chair and not be standing on my feet all day
I’ve noticed the only way a person can succeed in these companies is to manipulate, and step on other people. Very hard to do that if one has morals and empathy. But the moment something bad happens to them they expect all of the sympathy 🤦🏻♀️
I tripped at Target the other day.
“LIAR IVE GONE TO TARGET 20 TIMES AND I DIDN’T TRIP ONCE”
Logic.
That’s awesome!
Short and to the point example 🎉
Exactly.
It cracks me up when they try to make it seem like the antimlm community is attacking people personally, meanwhile LOOK AT THEM 😳
Are all these reps truly oblivious to the fact that the CEOs knew EXACTLY what this docuseries exposed, so why in the hell are they laying the blame on everyone BUT them?
8:49 _"It's just women complaining."_
Way to support other women, Emily, like you Huns claim you do so much of...until women don't agree with you.
Red flag in life/politics/religion: when anyone attacks a person, they have no real argument and are reduced to personal attacks. That kind of attack always tells me they are desperate and unable to form a real argument. Scientologists do this all the time.
BTW--would love to hear your reactions to some of the "ads" that come right before your channel opens: they all seem to be ads for MLM marketing!
Almost every commercial I get while I'm watching her videos is for multi-level marketing. It just cracks me up, but it's the same on every one of these anti MLM channels.
Scientology does do that. They also censor things. Censorship is a major red flag. If you can win an argument against somebody you never need to censor those ideals
It’s typical cult behaviour. Denial, gaslighting and victim blaming
If Lulu row is such a great company why, when I go to thrift stores do I see a whole bunch of their clothes in there new with tags. I feel sorry for the woman that donated all that clothing and lost all that money.
I love to buy the dresses for nightgowns & tops for work (where I can get dirty) when I find them at my thrift stores.
I would never wear that crap.
I absolutely love the way you explain things. Sometimes I just slap my desk in agreement. You have such a clear, thoughtful way of laying out your rebuttals and arguments. So refreshing.
Aww yay I love this! Thanks for watching! ❤️
What's sad is that it might have been a fairly lucrative company if the founders hadn't been such jerks and greedy, and they had chosen a different business plan. A plan like a normal clothing company. They did all of this to themselves and then drug others along with them.
HUNS I want to see how you explain when Deanne's son Jordan said "we need to get away from being a pyramid scheme, ok" (not a hater, not a troll, not an antimlmer) THE SON Jordan. For the people in the back, I said THE SON Jordan. Explain that! ... I am waiting...
Yesss such a good point!
My son called me a super hero
@probrickgamer is your son the founder of a group of superheroes? No? Because their son was something like the VP of their multi million dollar business and very much is aware of what a pyramid scheme consists of. I'm sure he found out even more once he was in that position since it was kind of his job to research and find out if they actually were operating like a pyramid scheme like so many people kept saying they were. (Hint: they 100% were).
I’m loving the fact that you’ve given us three videos in 24 hours. X
Absolutely here for it
The movie is great and exposes a few people they are Mormons I'm not saying Mormons bad but it's a male run company basically yes they wanted the families together and the men to quit their jobs and that's in the documentary just too sketchy for me people have tried to get me into pyramid schemes and I know the game and I just say no thank you
Drives me nuts when people talk about “it’s not illegal bc they’d be in jail” - oh wow weird because people still sell drugs and every single drug dealer isn’t in prison.
Also I’m a reseller too but I don’t watch reselling RUclips, just anti MLM / scam RUclips 🥰
Thats not exactly the same thing, because people selling contraband do not do so in very public eye like Lularoe does.
@@Cons-Cat I completely agree. I just mean that the fact that “it’s illegal” versus “it’s legal” doesn’t mean that the legal thing is good, or will always be legal. But yes you’re right - regular sellers aren’t breaking the law and most drug dealers are doing it surreptitiously. It just isn’t black and white like many MLM reps say, as there are former MLMs that have been later marked as pyramid schemes by the government.
@@Cons-Cat Enron was in the public eye, and so was Theranos. For every business like Theranos and Enron that get caught, 100 do the same thing but fly under the radar because they don't take it as far as Enron and Theranos did.
@@probrickgamer Enron and Theranos were not selling illegal wares. They were massive coverup operations lying about what their products were to make money from investors. Drug dealers tell their customers what the products are, and hide their existence from the government entirely.
Loving all the "if this shady company is doing something bad then all those other shady companies are doing something wrong". Yes hun thats the point
by their logic, because I have all my limbs, amputatees aren't real.
My own little Lula Roe story. So I was never a consultant but around the time the quality went down, I was working at an animal shelter thrift store. The amount of Lula shit we got was honestly disheartening. The area I was in is a low-income area. It was sad seeing these people come in with donations of just boxes of the stuff and we started having to tell them we couldn't take it. Because well even on a thrift store rack for 0.50 a legging or t-shirt was still asking for too much because of how toxic Lula Roe is. We ended up turning most of the stuff that would come in still with tags on into crafts/ragbags just to get rid of it. I think we even had some puppies and kittens born on the stuff because that's the only use we had for clothing that wasn't selling. And before anyone says "well clearly it wasn't a good store" We were selling other clothes like a lot of other clothes. We would get used to faded glory Walmart clothing that sold faster than Lula Roe.
At 5:13, when your stomach growled, I was looking at something else, and I thought it was MY stomach growling. Then I looked back and saw your surprised face, and for a fraction of a second, I almost thought YOU heard ME.
HAHAHA this made my whole day, I want you to know 😂
LMAO!!!! 🤣
Love this 😂
Also, re the “outdated” comments, yeah, cause documentaries take time to film, produce, edit and release ya ding dongs 🤦🏼♀️
Did you know that movie you watched in theatres this week was filmed 1-2 years ago, at minimum? So outdated 🙄🤣
Edit: hiiii Cooper 😻
4:34 _"In return we were vastly rewarded."_
To write this piece of propaganda apparently, Chandler.
i can’t believe LuLaRoe is still standing tbh 🤭
Two years after your comment, they're still around. Mind-boggling.
Thank you for touching on the idea that multiple people can have different experiences with the same person or organization... and they are all valid. I also loved the spaghetti example. My go-to example is that I have never been pregnant but clearly other people have been. What I experience has no bearing on what other people CAN or WILL experience. People who think that their experiences are "universal" or "the standard" are operating with the mindset of a 5 year old. This applies to so many other issues rather than just MLMs, but I''ll stay on topic.
Again the MONEY FLOWS UP IN AN MLM ( pyramid scheme) Corporate money runs down .. ppl absolutely get paid in 9-5.
Gotta love the Wayne Gretzky comparison. Unlike people in mlm s, if he had a bad season he was still paid. These people are crazy .
yes lol. also, playing hockey is fun and good exercise. mlm is purely a job that nobody enjoys. and I am pretty sure the reason he didn't quit was either a) because he started when he was a small child and had no choice to quit if his parents didn't allow him to, b) because he was always "successful" (i.e., having fun, maybe even winning games), or c) a combination.
@@reidleblanc3140 why did this plant a idea in my head of boss babe Sidney and Marc andre
I love that first comment: "IIIIIII had a good experience so this documentary SUCKS!"
I remember being so angry that I had to contact another human being in order to buy their clothes. My social anxiety may have saved my life lol
Just disgusting.
The clothes were hideous anyway! Those horrid colours and patterns. You dodged a bullet.
When I was younger, my mom took me to a Lularoe party. I managed to find a dress I really liked, and now wear it all the time and get tons of compliments! However, I am aware of my selection bias: most of the other stuff there was hideous. I, like most of those commenters, got lucky.
And that's why I always look at thrift stores for their stuff. There are some really nice prints and pieces, but I won't again buy them full price.
Regarding the few people who have seen success and are worried how the docuseries will affect them, the series is really looking out for the vast majority - not staying silent for the minority. But perhaps that's what they want...for everyone to lookout just for them at the expense of everyone else.
I USED to buy thrifted clothes from a company. They sent me a coupon for a discount. I've never seen so much Lula-wreck dresses. No sizes listed. The prints? TV test patterns are nicer!
Good luck to those trying to sue AMAZON 😁🤣
🤣 seriously 😆
They can't win that, but Amazon has lost a lot of lawsuits as all businesses that size do, so it's odd that you think it would be impossible for anyone to win any lawsuit against them ever
Amazon's market cap as of today (6/23/23): $1.33 Trillion. With a T.
Good luck trying to take THAT down, huns!
This video was so good! The reviews are like you said, really heartbreaking 😩 points to even more reasons why mlms should be dismantled, destroyed, and cancelled period.
We are not only being spoilt by the amount of videos you are uploading, but this is the content I didn't even know I needed. Yet. I DO. Love it!
Yayyyy! 🎉
It was one of the most entertaining docuseries ever made. The best parts are the clips of the depositions where the founders are barely answering questions, but shuffling stacks of paper around and putting paper clips on them. 😂
I found this little action to be quite effective the last time my boss was in my office. He'd ask me something and I'd shuffle some papers around and paper clip them together and he got all confused and left!
If I created a list of 10 things I’m grateful for the CEO of my company wouldn’t be one of them. I’m not saying I’m not grateful to be employed but they wouldn’t be top of mind.
I absolutely a trillion percent love my company . I would include my job in the list but not the ceo lol just that I have a good job
@@kadeelacayo4806 a trillion percent is actually impossible.
I mean... same haha. I love my job but if I had to make a top 10 list of things I enjoy njust about my job, the ceo wouldnt even make the list.
This is bordering on cult-like behavior.
The one sold 15 items for $500??? They broke even with15 items??? That makes leggings $33 a pair, leggings that I can get in Walmart for $7 a pair?! Why on earth do people buy the products these unethical companies sell and keep them in business?! p.s. you can also find the brand leggings in Goodwill cheap!
You brought up a point I had never thought of - if your business relies on the entire public reputation of the company that is a giant red flag
LOL at the suggestion to sue Amazon.
The owners of Lularoe are rich but they're not Jeff Bezos-rich.
Right now, Amazon's market cap is over one trillion dollars. Some huns' measly lawsuits couldn't put even a tiny dent into that.
I haven't read any of these comments yet, so I'm SO ready for this 😂🍿 also I've seen a lot of reviews of it, but I thought the idea for this video was very original!
Thanks Bee! I do think I’ve seen at least one other video like this on RUclips but this was SO FUN to film 😂
I loved LuLa Rich, and it's actually how I came to find your channel after wanting to learn more about the anti-MLM movement. I knew a lot of women in my old church who got caught up in this MLM and all ended up losing money. Ironically, they also jumped to other MLMs and continued to lose money 😂
Gosh I love your videos! Your always so well spoken, you never go overboard and it never seems like an act for subscribers. Love your vibe
Thanks for your support! ❤️
"all this documentary was was rehashing already known information" is... is this supposed to be an insult? isn't this what basically all documentaries are?
My sister use to sell this crap. I wanted to support her, so i looked at the clothes that she posted on facebook. They were full outfits. I messaged her and said okay i want to buy the leggings in this pictures. She okay that will be $35. i said no not the outfit just the leggings. Yeah thats how much the leggings are. Umm yeah no thanks i can get legging from walmart for like 5 bucks.
She didnt sell this crap for very long. and even though that was years ago she still have inventory she cant get rid of.
I'm seriously jealous of all the gorgeous tops you've been wearing in your videos, every single one looks amazing on you!
Aw thank you so much! My personal closet is super small but I usually steal from my Poshmark inventory for videos 😂
Great reaction video and love that you advocate compassion instead of victim blaming or finger pointing, without these there can be no meaningful discussion between the people involved.
Personally I still can't get over the fact that a documentary on exploitative business practices was made by the company that has taking "exploiting your workforce" to a whole new level...
Anyways keep up the great work.
I really appreciate that feedback, thank you!
“Self employed business” … hm it’s almost like they don’t know what that means
More like slavery to a big "company".
Me thinks they do protest too much!
Can I just say I freaking love your content! I love how you go out of your way NOT TO come for the actual people and only off of like facts and mlm related things if that makes sense. Some creators just go a little to far in the personal attacks and it’s hard to watch when that exactly what’s wrong with mlms! Thank you Hannah!
Aw thank you so much! That's a huge goal of mine so I'm happy to hear that comes across in my videos!
Hahahahaha I love that I'm getting MLM guru ads before watching this. Dios Mio....
1) Pink is your color sister!
2) I watched Lula Rich and totally got sucked in, so this video should be good!
I’m excited for you to watch it! 😂❤️
The fact remains that while not everyone in MLM means harm, it does in fact harm others. I get that some are doing well and it's how they take care of their family. I wish no ill will on anyone. But they really need to look into how many of their downline are losing money. How many are working hard but not successful but keep going because they are faulted for any and all negative feelings or unsuccesses. I would not be ok with people under me struggling while I flaunt my "lifestyle " to them. It's just wrong. I see the pull of wanting to be rich and successful. I really do, but at what cost?
This is one of the things that’s so toxic and evil about MLMs. These women are brainwashed from the very beginning to believe that if someone is unsuccessful, it’s because they didn’t work hard enough or want it bad enough-which means the ones who *are* successful are successful because they DID work hard and DID want it bad, not because they were lucky enough to get in early before the market was saturated.
Believing this “failure is your own fault” ideology thus becomes imperative for them, because to admit that there is an element of luck means admitting that they are not special, that they are really pretty average, that they are not genius business whizzes but just women who happened to get in at the right moment. They can’t or don’t want to do that, so they attack the women who can’t make new potential downlines appear out of the blue in an area where every woman they know has already turned down the “opportunity” three or four times in the last two weeks. It’s sad and pretty gross/infuriating.
I just binged the whole thing and I LOVED IT! I could feel the downfall coming from the top of the fever pitch where people were waiting 6 weeks (or months maybe) to be on-boarded.
LuLaRich was great, So sad that people are still trying to defend these scams! So sad! This was my favorite video of yours to date! Loved it! Keep up the good work!
All I know about LLR is when I see a FB marketplace post of someone trying to get rid of their fugly inventory.
My favorite part of the miniseries was when DeAnn and Mark were setting up for the interview. They had the colorful rug (what a surprise). DeAnn was on Mark to straighten up the rug, like that would make a difference.
My wife always says “your experiences are not universal”
You also don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to start working for Target. Not that big companies structures and payscales are great (they're often shit) but they're not pyramid schemes and losing money when starting work as a Target cashier does not come with the very real risk of a net monetary loss after months or years of work.
And the commercial when I started watching this was a MLM/direct marketing book - tips and tricks 😂
Always 😂
Thoroughly enjoying all their anti MLM material!! Btw, that color is great on you 😻
Thank you Erika! ❤️
“Mark and Deanne were still very successful at corroborating the accusations…” 😂😂😂💀
Hey sweet lady! That pink is definitely your color, I love it! Thanks for another video, this one is hilarious and your energy is on point 😅
Thanks Stormie! 😂
Other MLM Industry claims that they are not illegal or Unethical in inviting people like other MLM,it's a big red Flag.
I’m so glad that a lot of these toxic positivity phrases are being mentioned. I never bought into them, but I always thought it was because I was too negative.
I heard someone recently say that the top members told their sellers to go leave negative reviews and NOT watch the documentary.
What's interesting is that Lula roe consultants says it's not a pyramid scheme but the emblem is a bird's eye view of a pyramid
16:20 I DO wish failure upon her "business" ! Cause her whole "business" is targeting the most vulnerable among us and scamming them out of their money!
Even FRANCHISEES aren't "owners of their own business". If you buy a Subway franchise you're at the whims of Subway. You can't take the subway sign off the front and start calling it "Joe's" and sell hotdogs.
These MLM people say, "I started my own business", "I'm a business owner", etc.
I disagree. No matter what your business is, you don't get to make all decisions. There are always contracts, laws etc that limit your power over your own business. Personally, I think MLM-huns do have businesses. They are self-employed after all. But their business isn't the MLM itself. It's SELLING the MLM. There's a huge difference. It's comparable to a self-employed cleaning lady. Her business may be cleaning the HQ of Apple, not Apple itself! Similarly, an IT-guy may be self-employed and be a subcontractor of whatever-company. That doesn't mean he owns even a part of that company! (I would still call them tiny businesses however and so long as the business is lucrative enough, why not? MLMs however simply spawn hugely bad businesses, because they are dependent on bad contracts.)
@@JuMiKuMLM huns are not business owners. They are selling someone else's product or service for compensation and the only thing they own within the business is the inventory they buy. They have no say in pricing, quality, name of company, nothing that a legit business owner has control over.
I would love to see these people in court - take responsibility for your actions people
That spaghetti line had me 😂
Sidenote: Considering the tummy rumbles, I'm thinking pasta was definitely on your mind. 🍝 Yum yum!
I am in grad school, have 10 things to do, and cannot do any of it until I watch this.
HAHAHA MARY! 😂😂
Thank you for telling me about this epic documentary- I just finished episode one and am LOVING IT
I love this so much 😂 I haven't seen anyone else reading the reviews from LuLaRich! So great. 10/10
Thanks Kayla!! ❤️
Well, the delusion is something else. Both compensation plan and income disclosure shows that the bulk of the income comes from recruiting. You should do a deep dive on it.
Wtf if I ordered a package and it arrived wet I’d be mad. So why shouldn’t retailers be mad when their product arrived unsellable?
Good video. You are informed, fair and entertaining.
I notice some common themes in the reviews that you discussed:
1) Lots of religious verbiage. Obviously Lularoe has a big connection to Christian churches and the mindsets of the people that go to them.
2) Appeals to emotion (Lularoe helps me support my family!)
3) Overuse of adjectives that don't convey any meaning. (such as "amazing")
4) Strong cult-like attitudes. Odd worship of the founders.
5) An inability to understand that the documentary was discussing the shady things Lularoe did in the past before the Justice Department forced them to make changes. They didn't do all that out of the goodness of their hearts.
6) An odd willingness to deflect the experiences of many, many other people because "it didn't happen to me".
Correction: Lula Roe doesn't connect to Christian churches because they are not Christiana. They are Mormons. Mormons are considered to be a cult because they worship someone other than Jesus Christ.
@@elliebellie7816 i bet they aren't true scotsmen either
" A variety of colors and patterns" such a nice way of saying they had the weirdest most awful disturbing, gross prints!!
This really is a cult. They pretty much worship lularoe and they always go on about how “grateful they are to lularoe” and now apparently the founders too! I mean I can get liking a company you work for but that is just weird just how much thanks they give to MLM
The huns are mad the documentary wasnt an advert for recruits. lmao
I know it’s not necessarily related to the comments about Lularich, but I honestly believe if DeAnne had not brought Mark in, Lularoe could have been a successful business instead of a scam. Plenty of people loved the products (I’m not a fan but I don’t think I was ever the demographic) and DeAnne had a pretty humble beginning with how she started with the skirts.
I'd love to know how many of these people got scared about the info told in the documentary, went to their upline to express said fear and got brainwashed all over again to stay 😐
Omgggg pink is your color😍 you look stunning in this video!!
My heart feels so blessed. Thanks Karen!
This has to be one of my favorites! You are really good at this Hannah! 💚
Aw thanks Julie! Glad you enjoyed! 🥰
Hmm, not seeing any rebuttals from the one star huns.
You're very well spoken Hannah!
9:51 I think it was in one of the Life After MLM episodes, an ex lularoe person was saying one of their jobs was to pull out all the dead rats that got stuck in all the inventory after they went in it for shelter at night because it was left outside under tarps. If I remember correctly, they did this EVERY DAY.
I know someone who works for FedEx. When Lularoe was planning to expand to Canada, he was on a call with Mark Stidham. The person I know said Stidham was super arrogant & that all the women involved in selling Lularoe were all excited that the co-founder was on the Zoom call.
“This company’s willingness to make right is amazing. “ I think you’re thinking of Lululemon, not Lularoe. 🤣
YES! Lululemon has the BEST customer service I swear 😂
Hi Hannah! This video reminded me of an acquaintance from a mom's group who was in Lula and quit! I sent a few files to your Google Drive :) I would never put this girl in your typical hun category, her personality is what got her so high up, she is one kind and funny human, 100%. Watching Lularich again tonight. Thank you for your great content!
If there's one thing I took away from that documentary, it was that Mark and Deeanne TRULY, DEEPLY, DO NOT GIVE A FUCK about the people in their company.
The idea that parents need to stay home to take care of the kids must be a large factor in MLM companies success in the US. I think if 1. the US government offered paid parental leave for at least 6 months, and 2. people put more trust to professional child carers, you wouldn't see these problems.
I live in Sweden and we have 2 years paid parental leave *per child,* and it's very rare that parents stay at home with children over 1.5 years of age. Kids thrive at daycare and there's no shame in leaving them there. We also don't have MLM huns.
I question your comment that children "thrive" at daycare. Most of the children do not get enough individual attention and personal creativity, critical thinking skills, and talents such as music, art, etc. are not encouraged. It's nothing but Socialism at it's finest.
@@elliebellie7816 I don't know what daycares you are familiar with but the daycares where I live *absolutely* encourage creativity, art and music.
The daycare I attended went on daily forest excursions. We crafted with material we had collected in the woods. We painted and crafted every day. We had singing and music sessions several times a day. We had a garden where we learnt about growing plants and composting.
My daycare was a parent co-op so, yes "Socialism at it's finest".
From what I've heard from friends and family, daycares now a day are even more focused on education and learning.
It's too bad that you can't share photos in youtube comments or I would've showed you some of the crafts and activities I did at daycare.
@@elliebellie7816If you were on a radio show and you really respected the hosts and you wanted them to know that you really knew your stuff, how would you define socialism in a way that two political analysts would admire?
Also a lot of these parents are “at home with their kids” but not interacting with them at all or just interacting negatively cuz of the cult they’re in. It would be better for the kids If you worked a 9-5
Also that "Choose Joy" mantra? Yeah that is just classic dyed-in-the-wool abuser talk for: _"Stop bitching about me hurting you, you're such a crybaby and that's why you keep getting hurt."_
It’s very “keep sweet”.
Late to the party here, but the original Pyramid scheme, perpetrated by Charles Ponzi, actually DID start out selling a product. He used the first investments to buy postal coupons. It evolved from there. Patrick Boyle has a good video on it.
