Riiight like she totally should’ve stuck to her word or at LEAST not waited MONTHS for something she promised to do the next day…. but why didn’t he wait literally one more day until he saw the review up to make the order? Especially if he was constantly refreshing his feed and waiting to see the review like he said he was? Just place the stock order immediately after you see the review go live. To me, the fact he got a 10k loan has no place in the conversation about her treating him badly, which don’t get me wrong, she did.
@@chompchompkissabsolutely! Like you don’t have to have a business degree to know not to take a 10k loan out on an influencer’s word, especially when that influencer has been known to lie in the past. I do feel bad for him in general but he really can’t put the loan aspect on Mikayla, whether she lied or not
I was gonna say normally I don’t agree with mikayla, but this dude was basing his business off of a verbal promise which is bad business practice. Unless you have something in writing with signatures and witnesses this is his own fault.
mikayla saying she wont review small businesses anymore bc they cant keep up with the orders it brings in is insufferable. that is life changing for a business, and you wont do it bc they go out of stock? how does that effect her she still gets paid. i promise thats not the reason she doesnt do indie brand reviews. its bc they dont (and cant) pay her as much as the multimillion dollar companies she advertises
It's very obvious yeah. She is claiming that a brand selling out is such an inconvenience for her personally, when that is the dream for a small business. Big yikes.
Yeah, she could just warn the businesses and ask that they increase their inventory by a certain percentage before she posts and then tell her fans something like 'keep in mind they're a small business of just __ people so there may not be enough for everyone right now but it's a really great product so if you aren't lucky enough to be one of the first to grab one, it's so worth waiting for a restock. But please don't harass them, they're working as fast as they can' But god forbid she get $1,000 instead of $10,000
It's not working for free though. You're receiving free product, that sometimes costs hundreds of dollars. And you'll be paid, even if it's not a paid sponsorship, because (on RUclips at least) there's ad revenue. And I think influencers get paid per-view on TikTok too, after they have a certain number of followers, which Mikayla does. In no way would she actually not be making any money by posting a review of his products. It just wasn't _enough_ money for her.
exactly, like how does she have any fans still? same w/ james charles. tbh, theyve been exposed sooo many times as well as "cacelled" yet theyre still posting like nothing happened, have fans and make moneyy from social media like NOTHING HAPPENED‼⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉🤔😐😐😐💀💀💀
My biggest problem with her is she’s a big two faced liar. Just be honest ffs. She lied to him, she lied to us, “I don’t fake tan often.” Girl you’re getting one every 2 weeks! And it literally would not affect her at all to do that post she promised she would, she’s just bitter and petty he didn’t pay her to do it, all she cares about is herself and money and it’s so shallow. Edit: The filter was a damn lie too! “I looked orange from the filter.” No you didn’t otherwise Cody would’ve been bright orange too. 😭😭😂
@@brookelynnwu8016They are the same troll that keep posting comments about how Colleen Ballinger is really the victim in her situation. Just a bot or a disgusting person, but either way, definitely not worth your time.
While I agree he should not have taken a loan/ordered so much on the word of a known dishonest woman like Mikayla, she is still in the wrong for stringing him along and promising she'd review it. Like yes it wasnt a great business desicion in hindsight, but she still gave him a lot of faith when she clearly wasnt planning to. I dont like the victim blaming I'm seeing in the comments, one poor desicion on his part doesnt mean Mikayla is absolved of guilt.
It's the way she jumped at the chance to clear up the spray tanning allegations but never spoke a word about the lashgate situation for me 😭 Also, all that time to go back and forth with him but she couldn't just, put the damn product on and let it set while doing other stuff???
The thing about being a lying liar who lies is that it doesn't matter if you're telling the truth if no one believes you. His products are reasonably priced on his website, it looks like a nice product.
regardless of the fact he made a business decision based on something that wasn’t in writing, she should not have promised him that she would review his product if she knew she was too busy or had too many products to review in the meantime. also claiming she doesn’t fake tan a lot when her hands always look orange to me is so insane, but we knew she’s an avid liar. the thing that annoys me about Mikayla is that she can NEVER take accountability or responsibility for her actions and instead resorts to blocking people
I’m assuming that she just is not prioritizing this review because she is not getting paid for it and is just prioritizing her paid (whether she discloses it or not) reviews 😒
I have never watched any of her videos, except ones reacting to her, because to me, she's the human version of nails on a chalkboard. You can also tell from the way she acts and talks, that she really believes she's something special, like she thinks everyone worships her. She knew damn well she was never going to review it, so stringing him along, no let's be truthful, by lying to him, it really shows her true colors. I very rarely wear makeup and the only tanning I do is getting some sun while I'm working, but I am tempted to buy his product because he deserves all the business he can get.
This is definitely one of those situations where "technically" neither person did anything wrong and was well within their rights to do, but the lack of integrity on Mikayla's side for her communication reflects really badly. Like, who wants to deal with someone when they have to have a legal contract in order to trust their actions and words? It is business, but even within business, falling back on the presence or lack of a contract to defend yourself is a crappy move and makes people not want to work with you.
I don't like her, I never did. She's 100% an asshole and a liar, BUT. He did that to himself. I hope this attention he's getting right now helps him sell, and hopefully, he'll be able to return the loan and earn money on top. Above all, I hope he learned a VERY important lesson for his business and personal life. People are assholes. Don't rely on anyone. Unfortunately, that's the reality we live in.
The wording of Mikayla made him lose money is not one I agree with but she’s the worst and this was already known, not shocking at all that her word means nothing and that she doesn’t actually care about using her platform to promote products from small businesses.
Yes, he come off as very entitled. He is a victim of big brand stealing, but everything after that is his own making and very stupid decisions honestly. I can't stand Mikayla, but small businesses have a habit of making bad or unprofitable decisions and blaming everyone else around them and putting the pressure on consumers - which ofc consumers don't want to deal with
Yeah, I agree. As far as she knew, she was doing a free promo as a favour. That is VERY different to thinking that someone is betting 10k on you. He needed to tell her straight away that he intended on taking out a loan based on her review and get a contract in place. What he set up with her and what he ended up doing were VERY different. Mikayla, like many others, cannot be relied upon to keep her word, and that's why we have contracts. You can't say "You made me lose 10k!" if you never told someone you spent 10k in anticipation of something they might do for you.
Regardless of if she intended to make the review or not, her continuously using crappy spray tan that makes her orange as a pumpkin over a smaller brand that will actually work is so insane to me😭😭
I feel like this is a situation where she technically wasn’t wrong, but is still the asshole. She shouldn’t have strung him along when she didn’t plan to make good on her self imposed deadlines. He shouldn’t have based a huge financial decision solely on her word. I hope this brings enough attention to him and his brand that he can move that product. I tan often and I plan to try it. Also I think the big brand was Bondi . They introduced a new line with 4 undertones last year and offer a little quiz to find your shade .
Sure, but hind sight is 2020. She is completely wrong. He only ordered simply because of wanting to be prepared based on what she has said has happened to other small brands - essentially going out of business. He didn't want that to happen. Naturally.
I also find it weird that she says she doesn't like a heavy tan, and then proceeds to say she "slept in it". Lies on top of lies. Clearly she tries to find a way to make it seem like it is not a spraytan, but the lie goes against her preferences. Just doesn't make sense. At this point, I don't understand how anyone can trust her
It sucks that people are so easily bought, but I do agree that he may have jumped the gun a little too early. Her saying that she kept the tan on for 12 hours is a little weird since it’s a rapid tan. Spray tans can be orange so I can see that being her tan in that photo. The photo has color grading? That was a bad touch up on the photo. She definitely self tans more often than she claims. Girl, many people self tan so don’t act like you don’t.
I was indifferent towards Mikayla but this really push me over the fence, especially her trying to shift the blame and gaslighting the guy. Massive yikes!
I think its two things, one the guy was being strung along by someone who OFFERED to do something for him. When someone offers to do something I take it more seriously. Plus it'd be super easy for Mikayla to say that she would get the video out in a few months after the first and second time! Why say tomorrow?! Why keep saying tomorrow?! Secondly, he was foolhardy to jump the gun but I think that having a business and making mistakes are part of the process.
Yeah im unfollowing her and letting ALL of the people I know to do so as well as send them this video. I can't believe she's this horrible of a person. We stuck with her through so much and this is undeniable.
I’m sorry but for once in her life mikayla isn’t responsible for this. Yes she was an ass. HOWEVER. She’s not responsible for someone being obnoxiously stupid by putting so much faith in MILAYLA that he would go out, get a 10k loan, and buy stock he hadn’t even potentially sold yet. Based on the word of someones who is known to be dishonest and has misled him not one. Not twice. But three times. He did this to himself. Nobody is responsible for your own bad financial decisions.
She literally told him that she doesn’t do it because he didn’t have the money or stock. She put that on him. Was it smart on his part? No. Did she basically tell him to get more stock because she wants more for her fans which also put him in a bad spot? Absolutely.
@@xxoxEMxoxxno she didn’t do that at all, she told him she would do the review, she just didn’t do it on time. He used an old statement he made to purchase stock but who knows whether her review would have warranted those sales anyway.
@@xxoxEMxoxxI feel like you misunderstood that video that you are referring to. That video where she explained why she doesn’t make videos on indie brands anymore was made a few years ago and had nothing to do with him. It was a general video statement. The tanning brand owner just remembered that she made that video and used that to make his business decisions.
Nobody is saying that she's responsible for taking out a 10k loan, but she is absolutely responsible for being the catalyst for that decision to be made. If she was actually honest from the beginning, the order never would have been made in the first place. Did you put your brain in backwards this morning? 🤔
She has priors that have suggested she isn’t always truthful/completely transparent, anything she says about this situation, can’t be trusted. I hope plenty of orders come his way. Sounds like a great item.
Honestly if a brand was hounding me about posting about them, then I wouldn’t want to either. He was being so aggressive! Also, he’s speculating so much.
In US law, a contract can be formed even without a formal contract being signed. Generally as long as the offeree reasonably believes an agreement has been made, one can be legally bound to the terms. There are other necessary parts such as consideration, mutual assent, etc., but basically you don’t have to sign something to be legally bound to a promise.
@@laura121684 does not matter she ain't going nowhere she still has 15 million followers it is sad but she ain't going nowhere. The more videos people make about her the more popular she becomes
At the end of the day, this was supposed to be an unpaid favor. Anyone who has ever worked an office job where new tasks/projects comes up understands the idea of prioritizing. If you sell services to clients for example, you will but more of your effort and attention to the account paying you $100,000 than the one paying you $25,000. And wouldn’t put any attention or effort in anything that’s not making you money. It’s totally understandable how this unpaid favor kept being put on the back burner because there was no money guaranteed for that work. Time is money and in Mikayla’s case, her time and work is very valuable. It’s normal for people to forget the stuff that isn’t going to make them any money in regards to their job.
I think we’d all understand if it ended up taking a while for Mikayla to post about the bronzer. It is just a favor after all. But then just say, “I’m very busy, I’ll give you a heads up when I have time.” Or just say “Sorry, I’m just too busy right now.” Or she could have even offered to just make a written post. That’s all. She said “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Part of being a good person is keeping your word. And she simply didn’t, again and again and again. So yeah I totally understand how this situation happened but she still comes out looking bad in my opinion.
@@Natnat994 she is just one of those people who is polite so they can avoid an awkward situation. I feel like she just wanted to avoid conflict, that’s why she kept saying she would do it. I know a lot a people who are like that and aren’t doing maliciously. They just don’t like hurting feelings or make things weird. Not a good thing that she did, but I wouldn’t say it makes her a bad person.
@@brand0nbu1 Respectfully, I’d like to push back on the concept of lying to avoid conflict being acceptable. I am conflicted avoidant as well but I truly believe that lying and flaking instead of just telling the truth and being honest that you can’t do something probably shouldn’t be normalized. You get people’s hopes up falsely, waste people’s time, and it can make people feel like they don’t matter to you. Is this normal behavior? Yes. But it’s not neutral to me because it can have unintended negative consequences. Not to mention, this is a very high stakes situation involving a personal business, not a negligible little favor. Also, I don’t think she’s a bad person, but I do believe this situation exposes a lack of integrity that makes her look bad.
@@Natnat994 it wasn’t the right thing for her to do but it was what she did and the brand owner really should have seen what she was doing after the long wait he went through, it was very evident that it was not a priority to Mikayla. Getting peoples hope up is not great, but the brand owner did allow for his hopes to go up when that is never the kind of mindset you should have going into running a business. Running a business is very matter of fact and shouldn’t be ran on anything that’s not in writing
@@brand0nbu1 I agree, you definitely can’t rely on a handshake agreement but he’s also within his right to call Mikayla out for stringing him along. Hopefully, he drops the drama and moves on soon because this whole situation ended up working out for him anyway and I’m happy about that.
I get that Mikayla is who she is and I'm not a fan... but this dude needs to take accountability for his own actions... get it in writing or it didn't happen.
He is tho. He takes accountability and even apologised for making a statement she denied true. He said the 10k was on me this is why I got the loan but she didn’t tell me to.
@morgianasartre6709 wording issue on my part, I meant legally binding writing. Text messages won't help much in getting someone to do something lolol especially someone with a track record like her imo
@@eatxurxveggies But the thing is, a contract would not have been appropriate here. He isn’t paying her, this is not an exchange. Why would she sign a contract? She offered a favor to make a bad situation (that she took part in) right, but then she bailed. She’s majorly lacking in integrity (but we already knew that). That’s really all there is to this.
@Natnat994 her lack of integrity is entirely my point. Don't expect things out of people that have shown behaviors of being deceptive. You're going to get disappointed. Cover your ass, don't expect others to do it until they have a proven track record of trust with you personally.
Good evening Angelica and Phoebe I saw this covered on another channel yesterday and went on a bit of a rant based on the context of what I saw in that video. Seeing your reaction to this issue provides me with another insight into this indie brand. I see the frustration of Matthew, but he put his eggs into the wrong basket. Influencers like Makayla are shady, and it’s not surprising when they review products for a paycheck. Below is my other post that outlines my thoughts about this pettiness of both sides: The way this guy is talking about this whole situation makes me not want to buy from him. It’s not an influencer’s job to promote your product if there’s not a contract. I get that he took her word, but he jumped the gun with the loan, and should have done a contract with her before he started making business. I do know if you sleep on business, you may not be in business too long. No obligation to promote product. Also, Mikayla had a history of being shady before the Tanning thing, so going into ‘business’ with her if you can’t produce a check up front. She’s a notorious liar, so why are you surprised she lied. I don’t trust her (or many big influencer’s) opinions about products, because of the brand deals and payed sponsorships. And even if the ad disclosure is not present immediately you should still know that it’s an advertiser. That’s what social media has become. An advertisement machine. So that beloved product that the influencer wants to share probably comes with a paycheck. Being lied to sucks. It hurts when you get your hopes up, and they get disappointed like that. But taking to social media in this way isn’t making you look good. You kind of look petty, and that can be off putting, especially when you’re the representative of your company. Matthew airing this out like he did was childish, and kind of a bad business move, because it acted more as a smear campaign against someone who frustrated him rather than him, answering a question of why his product was never talked about on that influencer’s channel. I find the whole thing ridiculous. Both sides had made bad decisions, Michaela saying that she review product and didn’t, as well as Matthew putting too much faith in a shady influencer. who has a shady past. In the end I’m not in a hurry to check out the products both parties are selling, even if they are the best thing ever.
I was just watching a TikTok about this and came straight to you to see if you commented and lo and behold you did 5 mins ago tehe! :D Obviously she should made a promise she couldn't keep, however, he should not have taken out a loan of such a large amount before she posted anything. Don't count your chickens before they hatch! I still love the idea of his small business though, I'd like to try it, so no doubt this publicity will help him out regardless of whether she posts or not.
Yea like someone said they're both kinda in the wrong. My mom likes to tan, and I don't, but something like that which is customized I'd be curious to see what it looks like.
I hate that I am defending Mikaela. But that guy has been harassing her for months on tik tok for a review. She even paid for the product. He is an entitled little brat. I wish she would have just ignored him.
Honestly the guy comes off kinda entitled… I hope they both learn from it and he starts making official contacts with people before going 10K in depth 😅
Yes as a business you should wait until it’s written in writing, but this is learning steps for him. I think it’s wrong if we are blaming a smaller brand based off a large influencers promise. Mikayla lies and deceives any chance she gets and I hope people start seeing her for what she is. A fraud.
This is exactly what he wanted. The more he talks about her, the more sales he gets & people are falling for it. lol I don’t feel bad for a business who decides to use Mikayla to represent them 😫🤣
The poor guy learned a good lesson…never ever count your chickens before they hatch. I wouldn’t have taken out that loan unless I had a written contract with her to post the review and even then, I’m not taking out a loan based on ONE possible influencer review.
this is probably a hot take but when you try to do business with someone whos known to be unethical and they do something unethical why would you be a victim? when will companies stop paying her?
He says he is/was a long time fan... But it didn't crossed his mind that she doesn't move a finger if there's not a check involved??? The math IS NOT MATHING🤨
To be really, really honest, I am no fan of Mikayla but I feel like this man rolled the dice and didn't win. That is a little bit on him - we know Mikayla is flaky and him reaching out and posting about her was opportunistic in the first place. I think the product sounds wonderful, but next time get a proper brand deal in place, in writing, and get insurance that covers this sort of thing. If the product is great, it will all work out.
Honestly at this point I'm convinced she sold her soul to the devil, all that success despite her looks, voice AND personality? There has to be something supernatural about it.
Why did he get the loan before seeing the video? Even if she did it 'on time' sounds like the video wouldn't have been super positive by his own admission. I assume maybe he is doing this to try and get PR (which seems to be working) to fix his error.
I think ppl don’t realize Matthew has been shady and downright aggressive to ppl. He’s not a good person AT ALL. The trish thing was just for publicity and he’s attacked and blocked ppl brining up concerns with shipping being 70 + DOLLARS for one bottle of tanner in Canada and Australia back in august. Everything he does has an ulterior motive and all his content gives me a weird vibe tbh…
I’m wondering why he didn’t wait for her to do the actual review before placing the order. Because as it stood she said she’d do the review tomorrow & he then acted on getting the loan & placing the order. So the timeline would be exactly the same if he actually waited for the review. Do you see what I mean? Oh well, either way the situation sucks.
The man is making me cringe tho lol why would he rely heavily on someone that is so dishonest and a big liar. He’s in the wrong as well. He doesn’t seem like a great person either and all the blame can’t be put onto her he needs to take accountability to for relying on her and ordering all that stock without a contract.
@@myliza700 he really opened himself up to a defamation suit from Mikayla. Blatantly stating that she costed him $10,000 and stating that she was wearing a spray tan as fact with no evidence is serving up the case to her on a silver platter.
I don’t know how he could come off as a bad person tho. Like naive? Yes. But a shitty person? Why are we blaming him for her lying constantly and stringing him along. He did take accountability for taking out the loan, he didn’t blame her, it would have made sense for him to be prepared for a heavy influx of orders.
Yea I'm a little confused by that too. If he was a big follower of Mikhaila's, he'd know not to trust her and to not take anything she says at face value. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he wasn't as big of a fan of hers as he claims he was, therefore not knowing about her lying ways lool
I'm so glad you made this video :) I hope it brings great attention to the brand and you perfectly explained the situation. He was in a lose/lose situation when he took the loan for more product. The fact is she promised to do the review for Free as a kind gesture, if that changed she should have told him not just continued to string him along and stress him out. Again though she will not get enough backlash for the terrible things she continues to do and it's unfortunate when bad people don't get the karma they deserve for the choices they make. She cares only about money at this point and it's so incredibly clear, I wish she could remember for once how hard small business have it to take off an build a platform. If she was truly for helping others grow she would communicate more and keep the promises she makes.
Mikayla is one of the worst influencers I've ever seen, but this actually wasn't all her fault. Sure, she shouldn't have made a promise to review something when she clearly never intended to ACTUALLY review it. That being said, the other guy should not have taken out a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR LOAN based on something that wasn't legally binding, especially when we all know how shitty Mikayla is. It sucks for him, but I suppose that's the price of learning not to trust people without a contract.
This exactly! Like why did he reach out to mikayla KNOWING all the drama around her and the risks it'll be to his business. There are many other big influencers out there who would probably happily review his products heck there are some who's niche is literally to review indie/small brands
@@DominosAndHeartsfrom what it sounds like, SHE offered to fix it and SHE offered to do the review. If SHE didn’t interact with him at all and waste his time, he wouldn’t have taken out that loan. Even STILL after he’d taken out the loan, if she had been honest after that point, he could have just gone to a different influencer and had them do a review instead, BUT because she kept stringing him along, he had to sit there and wait just to be 100% sure he had the stock. I don’t blame him, and he owns up to it. And like it’s said in this video: if she would have posted it and he didn’t have the stock she’d be like “oh this is why I only do adverts for people who pay me mon-I mean big brands, he had plenty of warning” 😒
He didn't even comp her a bottle of tanner, she bought it herself and he's pressuring her non-stop for a free review when her job is featuring and reviewing products. I'm not into it, even if Mikayla sucks, this guy is out of line and bad at business
On one hand i agree to not make business decisions based off promises from people you dont know or who have no obligation to you to be honest but on the other hand, would it have killed her to just be honest????? Why did she have to lie about it and why did she have to give him false hope about it if she clearly never intended to review it?? Yeah she has no responsibility to him whatever but shes only ruining her own reputation atp
Both are wrong here, she has a business, if he wanted a review he should have made a contract and then buy stock, yes she led him on but still, he should not make decisions like that just by word of mouth
Honestly, I can't understand how the other brand stole the idea of his brand. The same concept is applied in foundations, concealers, and even shampoos. It's a good thing that you can get a custom product that suits you perfectly, so I don't see why it should be exclusive to his brand only
While I think it was pretty shitty of her to say "I'll do it tomorrow" and then not do it for months, his response was ridiculous. He took out a loan completely just based on hope that she'd move his stock, AFTER she'd already flaked on him, then sent her a bunch of passive aggressive messages blaming her for his own poor business decisions, and guilt tripping his mental health. Mikayla has done a lot of shady dealings but if someone kept hounding me like that for a free review I wouldn't want to post it either.
She’s cruel. I’d never even WANT her promoting my business because I don’t stand behind her. She lies about everything so how can I believe she didn’t get a spray tan or anything else?!? Mean. Then telling her own followers to shut up && blocking them? She doesn’t care about her followers, brands she works with, products she reviews. She will gasp & love everything for the right price. Howwwww can you watch her knowing that she doesn’t value you or your dollar or ANYTHING but herself?!? It’s wild!! Truly JH 2.0. 🤦🏽♀️
Probably the same way your local home-improvement store has the ability to mix pretty much any color of paint. They buy the base products and mix it when it's ordered.
imo they’re both in the wrong. i am unfamiliar with these two influencers but she should not have made promises she couldn’t keep and he should not have made business decisions based on a promise not in writing. she shouldn’t have been negative about it in her comments that’s just a bit rude she could’ve ignored it. in my opinion he should not have insinuated that her actions cause him harm mentally when he was the one to make the business choice based on a random video she made a while ago. again i am unfamiliar with the two but it seems like neither is in the right.
I need to scream from the rooftops bc I am scared for yall: A CONTRACT IS JUST A PROMISSORY NOTE IF YOU WROTE DOWN AN AGREEMENT ON A NAPKIN UNDER FAIR CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN (and has been in the past) BE USED IN COURT
This whole "I don't do indie brands" anymore because they put up an item in stock reeks of Jen Gerard. Has she ever reviewed Gerard cosmetics? Just a thought
On one hand, you'd think she'd be doing what she can to make herself look better after all the drama she's been in. Make-up doesn't hide the blemishes in your personality and online presence. On the other hand, her fans don't seem to care about any of that, so I guess it's not a concern to her.
im sorry as much as i support small businesses and dislike mikalya, this is entirely his fault. 1. every decision, sponsorship, pr deal has to be done through writing. if nothing was signed on a legal document from both sides then the other person is not obliged to go through with the deal if its not in contract 2. he knows mikayla is problematic, why beg her to sponsor them in the first place?
don't keep saying you're gonna do something at a specific time when you know you're not. one "I'm gonna do it tomorrow" and then "I'm so sorry, things happened and I didn't get the chance" is okay imo, but don't then keep promising for "tomorrow" or any specific timeline.
He didn’t really blame her for it tho. He said that she never told him to do that and explained why he did, and that it was a mistake. She strung him along for months instead of telling the truth, at this point is a moral issue not a legal issue. It wasn’t just “a conversation” it was MONTHS worth of communication where she told him multiple times that she was going to post a review for his product. It’s about integrity, did you even watch the video??

It's very obvious yeah. She is claiming that a brand selling out is such an inconvenience for her personally, when that is the dream for a small business. Big yikes.
Yeah, she could just warn the businesses and ask that they increase their inventory by a certain percentage before she posts and then tell her fans something like 'keep in mind they're a small business of just __ people so there may not be enough for everyone right now but it's a really great product so if you aren't lucky enough to be one of the first to grab one, it's so worth waiting for a restock. But please don't harass them, they're working as fast as they can'
But god forbid she get $1,000 instead of $10,000
If I was an influencer would I like working for free? No. But would I want to stay true to my word? Yes. She always chooses greed over morality.
It's not working for free though. You're receiving free product, that sometimes costs hundreds of dollars. And you'll be paid, even if it's not a paid sponsorship, because (on RUclips at least) there's ad revenue. And I think influencers get paid per-view on TikTok too, after they have a certain number of followers, which Mikayla does. In no way would she actually not be making any money by posting a review of his products. It just wasn't _enough_ money for her.
It's a transaction though. She got free product to review and a video that gets her millions of views = money.
@@OhItsNekoAgain mikayla actually paid for it herself
I’m not impressed with that influencer.
I don't understand why anyone supports her at this point, I feel like her true colors have been shown on multiple occasions 🤔
exactly, like how does she have any fans still? same w/ james charles. tbh, theyve been exposed sooo many times as well as "cacelled" yet theyre still posting like nothing happened, have fans and make moneyy from social media like NOTHING HAPPENED‼⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉🤔😐😐😐💀💀💀
Right??? Some influencers can just continue and continue being horrible people and people will support them… smh
My biggest problem with her is she’s a big two faced liar. Just be honest ffs. She lied to him, she lied to us, “I don’t fake tan often.” Girl you’re getting one every 2 weeks! And it literally would not affect her at all to do that post she promised she would, she’s just bitter and petty he didn’t pay her to do it, all she cares about is herself and money and it’s so shallow.
Edit: The filter was a damn lie too! “I looked orange from the filter.” No you didn’t otherwise Cody would’ve been bright orange too. 😭😭😂
She's a known known at this point. Anyone who works with her does so at their own risk.
@@tomfondly5266 yeah, I still don’t fuck w her tho. I dislike dishonest individuals.
@ville__ you couldn’t even spell her name right. 💀😂
@@brookelynnwu8016They are the same troll that keep posting comments about how Colleen Ballinger is really the victim in her situation. Just a bot or a disgusting person, but either way, definitely not worth your time.
@@lisarodriguez6966 oh Ik I’m just messing with them. Lmaoo
While I agree he should not have taken a loan/ordered so much on the word of a known dishonest woman like Mikayla, she is still in the wrong for stringing him along and promising she'd review it.
Like yes it wasnt a great business desicion in hindsight, but she still gave him a lot of faith when she clearly wasnt planning to.
I dont like the victim blaming I'm seeing in the comments, one poor desicion on his part doesnt mean Mikayla is absolved of guilt.
I use his product and it is TOP TIER. Hands-down the best one I’ve ever used. I’m glad he’s getting the publicity he deserves.
I want to try this now just to help out after how he was treated
@@a.r.mproductions5616 please do! You won’t regret it! 🩷
It's the way she jumped at the chance to clear up the spray tanning allegations but never spoke a word about the lashgate situation for me 😭 Also, all that time to go back and forth with him but she couldn't just, put the damn product on and let it set while doing other stuff???
I unfollowed her after the mascara incident. I don’t trust her
I didn’t even know who she was before the mascara thing 😂
The thing about being a lying liar who lies is that it doesn't matter if you're telling the truth if no one believes you.
His products are reasonably priced on his website, it looks like a nice product.
regardless of the fact he made a business decision based on something that wasn’t in writing, she should not have promised him that she would review his product if she knew she was too busy or had too many products to review in the meantime. also claiming she doesn’t fake tan a lot when her hands always look orange to me is so insane, but we knew she’s an avid liar. the thing that annoys me about Mikayla is that she can NEVER take accountability or responsibility for her actions and instead resorts to blocking people
it was in writing though. the messages they exchanged can be viewed as a contract.
@@nicoleortiz9884 not really
@@annierminx they can tho. Court cases have been won off various unofficial texts/“documents.” It’s not unheard of.
I’m assuming that she just is not prioritizing this review because she is not getting paid for it and is just prioritizing her paid (whether she discloses it or not) reviews 😒
I have never watched any of her videos, except ones reacting to her, because to me, she's the human version of nails on a chalkboard. You can also tell from the way she acts and talks, that she really believes she's something special, like she thinks everyone worships her.
She knew damn well she was never going to review it, so stringing him along, no let's be truthful, by lying to him, it really shows her true colors.
I very rarely wear makeup and the only tanning I do is getting some sun while I'm working, but I am tempted to buy his product because he deserves all the business he can get.
Agreed! She sounded so annoyed in her response video that her she almost dropped her accent
This is definitely one of those situations where "technically" neither person did anything wrong and was well within their rights to do, but the lack of integrity on Mikayla's side for her communication reflects really badly. Like, who wants to deal with someone when they have to have a legal contract in order to trust their actions and words? It is business, but even within business, falling back on the presence or lack of a contract to defend yourself is a crappy move and makes people not want to work with you.
Not to blame Matthew but how were all red flags missed 🤦♀️
I don't like her, I never did. She's 100% an asshole and a liar, BUT. He did that to himself. I hope this attention he's getting right now helps him sell, and hopefully, he'll be able to return the loan and earn money on top. Above all, I hope he learned a VERY important lesson for his business and personal life. People are assholes. Don't rely on anyone. Unfortunately, that's the reality we live in.
The wording of Mikayla made him lose money is not one I agree with but she’s the worst and this was already known, not shocking at all that her word means nothing and that she doesn’t actually care about using her platform to promote products from small businesses.
Yes, he come off as very entitled. He is a victim of big brand stealing, but everything after that is his own making and very stupid decisions honestly. I can't stand Mikayla, but small businesses have a habit of making bad or unprofitable decisions and blaming everyone else around them and putting the pressure on consumers - which ofc consumers don't want to deal with
Yeah, I agree. As far as she knew, she was doing a free promo as a favour. That is VERY different to thinking that someone is betting 10k on you. He needed to tell her straight away that he intended on taking out a loan based on her review and get a contract in place. What he set up with her and what he ended up doing were VERY different. Mikayla, like many others, cannot be relied upon to keep her word, and that's why we have contracts.
You can't say "You made me lose 10k!" if you never told someone you spent 10k in anticipation of something they might do for you.
His fake tan concept is really cool. I honestly might try it out.
I think its interesting that she quickly posted her response to this controversy but has never acknowledged the Mascara/ Fake Eyelashes??
Regardless of if she intended to make the review or not, her continuously using crappy spray tan that makes her orange as a pumpkin over a smaller brand that will actually work is so insane to me😭😭
I feel like this is a situation where she technically wasn’t wrong, but is still the asshole. She shouldn’t have strung him along when she didn’t plan to make good on her self imposed deadlines. He shouldn’t have based a huge financial decision solely on her word. I hope this brings enough attention to him and his brand that he can move that product. I tan often and I plan to try it. Also I think the big brand was Bondi . They introduced a new line with 4 undertones last year and offer a little quiz to find your shade .
Sure, but hind sight is 2020.
She is completely wrong. He only ordered simply because of wanting to be prepared based on what she has said has happened to other small brands - essentially going out of business.
He didn't want that to happen. Naturally.
I also find it weird that she says she doesn't like a heavy tan, and then proceeds to say she "slept in it". Lies on top of lies. Clearly she tries to find a way to make it seem like it is not a spraytan, but the lie goes against her preferences. Just doesn't make sense. At this point, I don't understand how anyone can trust her
It sucks that people are so easily bought, but I do agree that he may have jumped the gun a little too early. Her saying that she kept the tan on for 12 hours is a little weird since it’s a rapid tan. Spray tans can be orange so I can see that being her tan in that photo. The photo has color grading? That was a bad touch up on the photo. She definitely self tans more often than she claims. Girl, many people self tan so don’t act like you don’t.
She responded quicker than doing the review
The way my sleep schedule is gradually conditioned by Angelika’s upload schedule has made me so productive at night. Thank you😂🙌.
I was indifferent towards Mikayla but this really push me over the fence, especially her trying to shift the blame and gaslighting the guy. Massive yikes!
I think its two things, one the guy was being strung along by someone who OFFERED to do something for him. When someone offers to do something I take it more seriously. Plus it'd be super easy for Mikayla to say that she would get the video out in a few months after the first and second time! Why say tomorrow?! Why keep saying tomorrow?!
Secondly, he was foolhardy to jump the gun but I think that having a business and making mistakes are part of the process.
Welp he’s about to sell out now 💅🏾 I’m running to the website because there’s options for darker shades.
Which is not normal for most people
The sheer irony of HER talking about anything or anyone being ‘dishonest && greedy’ is astounding. Self awareness? Never met her.
Yeah im unfollowing her and letting ALL of the people I know to do so as well as send them this video. I can't believe she's this horrible of a person. We stuck with her through so much and this is undeniable.
I’m sorry but for once in her life mikayla isn’t responsible for this. Yes she was an ass. HOWEVER. She’s not responsible for someone being obnoxiously stupid by putting so much faith in MILAYLA that he would go out, get a 10k loan, and buy stock he hadn’t even potentially sold yet. Based on the word of someones who is known to be dishonest and has misled him not one. Not twice. But three times. He did this to himself. Nobody is responsible for your own bad financial decisions.
She literally told him that she doesn’t do it because he didn’t have the money or stock. She put that on him. Was it smart on his part? No. Did she basically tell him to get more stock because she wants more for her fans which also put him in a bad spot? Absolutely.
@@xxoxEMxoxxno she didn’t do that at all, she told him she would do the review, she just didn’t do it on time. He used an old statement he made to purchase stock but who knows whether her review would have warranted those sales anyway.
@@xxoxEMxoxxI feel like you misunderstood that video that you are referring to. That video where she explained why she doesn’t make videos on indie brands anymore was made a few years ago and had nothing to do with him. It was a general video statement. The tanning brand owner just remembered that she made that video and used that to make his business decisions.
@@brand0nbu1 Oh I must have misheard. I thought she had made like a recent video referring to this situation. That’s my bad!
Nobody is saying that she's responsible for taking out a 10k loan, but she is absolutely responsible for being the catalyst for that decision to be made. If she was actually honest from the beginning, the order never would have been made in the first place. Did you put your brain in backwards this morning? 🤔
She has priors that have suggested she isn’t always truthful/completely transparent, anything she says about this situation, can’t be trusted.
I hope plenty of orders come his way. Sounds like a great item.
How does she still have people that listen to her? She's Jaclyn Hill 2.0 and is constantly caught in lies, but for some reason people STILL love her
Because people make the watch them because of videos like this and it is free publicity
When you write something In messages it’s considered written agreement
saying she can't do indie brands because of demand etc when she works with plouise who famously cannot fulfil orders...hmmm
Honestly if a brand was hounding me about posting about them, then I wouldn’t want to either. He was being so aggressive!
Also, he’s speculating so much.
In US law, a contract can be formed even without a formal contract being signed. Generally as long as the offeree reasonably believes an agreement has been made, one can be legally bound to the terms. There are other necessary parts such as consideration, mutual assent, etc., but basically you don’t have to sign something to be legally bound to a promise.
Why do we keep making this woman relevant atp?
I don't think we're trying to keep her relevant. I think we're trying to get the word out about how awful she is.
@@laura121684 does not matter she ain't going nowhere she still has 15 million followers it is sad but she ain't going nowhere. The more videos people make about her the more popular she becomes
"I'm nawt ourange. At awll" girl... g i r l... there's no way she said that to the camera with those cheeto dust arms 😭
At the end of the day, this was supposed to be an unpaid favor. Anyone who has ever worked an office job where new tasks/projects comes up understands the idea of prioritizing. If you sell services to clients for example, you will but more of your effort and attention to the account paying you $100,000 than the one paying you $25,000. And wouldn’t put any attention or effort in anything that’s not making you money. It’s totally understandable how this unpaid favor kept being put on the back burner because there was no money guaranteed for that work. Time is money and in Mikayla’s case, her time and work is very valuable. It’s normal for people to forget the stuff that isn’t going to make them any money in regards to their job.
I think we’d all understand if it ended up taking a while for Mikayla to post about the bronzer. It is just a favor after all. But then just say, “I’m very busy, I’ll give you a heads up when I have time.” Or just say “Sorry, I’m just too busy right now.” Or she could have even offered to just make a written post. That’s all. She said “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Part of being a good person is keeping your word. And she simply didn’t, again and again and again. So yeah I totally understand how this situation happened but she still comes out looking bad in my opinion.
@@Natnat994 she is just one of those people who is polite so they can avoid an awkward situation. I feel like she just wanted to avoid conflict, that’s why she kept saying she would do it. I know a lot a people who are like that and aren’t doing maliciously. They just don’t like hurting feelings or make things weird. Not a good thing that she did, but I wouldn’t say it makes her a bad person.
@@brand0nbu1 Respectfully, I’d like to push back on the concept of lying to avoid conflict being acceptable. I am conflicted avoidant as well but I truly believe that lying and flaking instead of just telling the truth and being honest that you can’t do something probably shouldn’t be normalized. You get people’s hopes up falsely, waste people’s time, and it can make people feel like they don’t matter to you. Is this normal behavior? Yes. But it’s not neutral to me because it can have unintended negative consequences. Not to mention, this is a very high stakes situation involving a personal business, not a negligible little favor. Also, I don’t think she’s a bad person, but I do believe this situation exposes a lack of integrity that makes her look bad.
@@Natnat994 it wasn’t the right thing for her to do but it was what she did and the brand owner really should have seen what she was doing after the long wait he went through, it was very evident that it was not a priority to Mikayla. Getting peoples hope up is not great, but the brand owner did allow for his hopes to go up when that is never the kind of mindset you should have going into running a business. Running a business is very matter of fact and shouldn’t be ran on anything that’s not in writing
@@brand0nbu1 I agree, you definitely can’t rely on a handshake agreement but he’s also within his right to call Mikayla out for stringing him along. Hopefully, he drops the drama and moves on soon because this whole situation ended up working out for him anyway and I’m happy about that.
I get that Mikayla is who she is and I'm not a fan... but this dude needs to take accountability for his own actions... get it in writing or it didn't happen.
He is tho. He takes accountability and even apologised for making a statement she denied true. He said the 10k was on me this is why I got the loan but she didn’t tell me to.
He has enough writing to prove it happened lol, just not enough to bind her to her word.
@morgianasartre6709 wording issue on my part, I meant legally binding writing. Text messages won't help much in getting someone to do something lolol especially someone with a track record like her imo
@@eatxurxveggies But the thing is, a contract would not have been appropriate here. He isn’t paying her, this is not an exchange. Why would she sign a contract? She offered a favor to make a bad situation (that she took part in) right, but then she bailed. She’s majorly lacking in integrity (but we already knew that). That’s really all there is to this.
@Natnat994 her lack of integrity is entirely my point. Don't expect things out of people that have shown behaviors of being deceptive. You're going to get disappointed. Cover your ass, don't expect others to do it until they have a proven track record of trust with you personally.
Angelika, girl, your lighting is amazing these dayssss
Thank you!!
Good evening Angelica and Phoebe
I saw this covered on another channel yesterday and went on a bit of a rant based on the context of what I saw in that video. Seeing your reaction to this issue provides me with another insight into this indie brand.
I see the frustration of Matthew, but he put his eggs into the wrong basket. Influencers like Makayla are shady, and it’s not surprising when they review products for a paycheck.
Below is my other post that outlines my thoughts about this pettiness of both sides:
The way this guy is talking about this whole situation makes me not want to buy from him.
It’s not an influencer’s job to promote your product if there’s not a contract. I get that he took her word, but he jumped the gun with the loan, and should have done a contract with her before he started making business. I do know if you sleep on business, you may not be in business too long.
No obligation to promote product.
Also, Mikayla had a history of being shady before the Tanning thing, so going into ‘business’ with her if you can’t produce a check up front. She’s a notorious liar, so why are you surprised she lied. I don’t trust her (or many big influencer’s) opinions about products, because of the brand deals and payed sponsorships. And even if the ad disclosure is not present immediately you should still know that it’s an advertiser. That’s what social media has become. An advertisement machine. So that beloved product that the influencer wants to share probably comes with a paycheck.
Being lied to sucks. It hurts when you get your hopes up, and they get disappointed like that. But taking to social media in this way isn’t making you look good. You kind of look petty, and that can be off putting, especially when you’re the representative of your company.
Matthew airing this out like he did was childish, and kind of a bad business move, because it acted more as a smear campaign against someone who frustrated him rather than him, answering a question of why his product was never talked about on that influencer’s channel.
I find the whole thing ridiculous. Both sides had made bad decisions, Michaela saying that she review product and didn’t, as well as Matthew putting too much faith in a shady influencer. who has a shady past.
In the end I’m not in a hurry to check out the products both parties are selling, even if they are the best thing ever.
This is my exact opinion! Could not agree more !
I was just watching a TikTok about this and came straight to you to see if you commented and lo and behold you did 5 mins ago tehe! :D
Obviously she should made a promise she couldn't keep, however, he should not have taken out a loan of such a large amount before she posted anything. Don't count your chickens before they hatch! I still love the idea of his small business though, I'd like to try it, so no doubt this publicity will help him out regardless of whether she posts or not.
Yea like someone said they're both kinda in the wrong.
My mom likes to tan, and I don't, but something like that which is customized I'd be curious to see what it looks like.
I hate that I am defending Mikaela. But that guy has been harassing her for months on tik tok for a review. She even paid for the product. He is an entitled little brat. I wish she would have just ignored him.
Honestly the guy comes off kinda entitled… I hope they both learn from it and he starts making official contacts with people before going 10K in depth 😅
Yes as a business you should wait until it’s written in writing, but this is learning steps for him. I think it’s wrong if we are blaming a smaller brand based off a large influencers promise. Mikayla lies and deceives any chance she gets and I hope people start seeing her for what she is. A fraud.
This is exactly what he wanted. The more he talks about her, the more sales he gets & people are falling for it. lol I don’t feel bad for a business who decides to use Mikayla to represent them 😫🤣
True I feel kind of bad but what can he expect Nikki tutorial would been a better choice
The poor guy learned a good lesson…never ever count your chickens before they hatch. I wouldn’t have taken out that loan unless I had a written contract with her to post the review and even then, I’m not taking out a loan based on ONE possible influencer review.
Surely driving to go get a spray tan is more effort than just reviewing the bottled tan product 😳
this is probably a hot take but when you try to do business with someone whos known to be unethical and they do something unethical why would you be a victim? when will companies stop paying her?
Never she is still popular they want to make more money through her.
He says he is/was a long time fan... But it didn't crossed his mind that she doesn't move a finger if there's not a check involved??? The math IS NOT MATHING🤨
The $10k thing was just a bad choice on his part especially with a influencer that is as shady as she is
13:54 that was a tell- probably have to get an NDA to that spa…
❤ mama tot for stepping in and reviewing the product 😂
what did she say about it???
@@quacksonklaxson she gave the tanner an amazing review
To be really, really honest, I am no fan of Mikayla but I feel like this man rolled the dice and didn't win. That is a little bit on him - we know Mikayla is flaky and him reaching out and posting about her was opportunistic in the first place. I think the product sounds wonderful, but next time get a proper brand deal in place, in writing, and get insurance that covers this sort of thing. If the product is great, it will all work out.
Well this has absolutely sold me on Matthews illusion bronze!
Honestly at this point I'm convinced she sold her soul to the devil, all that success despite her looks, voice AND personality? There has to be something supernatural about it.
Why did he get the loan before seeing the video? Even if she did it 'on time' sounds like the video wouldn't have been super positive by his own admission. I assume maybe he is doing this to try and get PR (which seems to be working) to fix his error.
I think ppl don’t realize Matthew has been shady and downright aggressive to ppl. He’s not a good person AT ALL. The trish thing was just for publicity and he’s attacked and blocked ppl brining up concerns with shipping being 70 + DOLLARS for one bottle of tanner in Canada and Australia back in august. Everything he does has an ulterior motive and all his content gives me a weird vibe tbh…
I’m wondering why he didn’t wait for her to do the actual review before placing the order. Because as it stood she said she’d do the review tomorrow & he then acted on getting the loan & placing the order. So the timeline would be exactly the same if he actually waited for the review. Do you see what I mean? Oh well, either way the situation sucks.
The man is making me cringe tho lol why would he rely heavily on someone that is so dishonest and a big liar. He’s in the wrong as well. He doesn’t seem like a great person either and all the blame can’t be put onto her he needs to take accountability to for relying on her and ordering all that stock without a contract.
Right. The “ milayla cost me 10k”. No honey. YOU did that.
I don’t like mikayla. But his poor financial decisions aren’t his fault.
@@myliza700 he really opened himself up to a defamation suit from Mikayla. Blatantly stating that she costed him $10,000 and stating that she was wearing a spray tan as fact with no evidence is serving up the case to her on a silver platter.
I don’t know how he could come off as a bad person tho. Like naive? Yes. But a shitty person? Why are we blaming him for her lying constantly and stringing him along. He did take accountability for taking out the loan, he didn’t blame her, it would have made sense for him to be prepared for a heavy influx of orders.
Yea I'm a little confused by that too. If he was a big follower of Mikhaila's, he'd know not to trust her and to not take anything she says at face value. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he wasn't as big of a fan of hers as he claims he was, therefore not knowing about her lying ways lool
@@daddy4967 he quite literally stated that milayla cost him 10k. I know that milayla is… the best person. But yes he did blame her.
I'm so glad you made this video :) I hope it brings great attention to the brand and you perfectly explained the situation. He was in a lose/lose situation when he took the loan for more product. The fact is she promised to do the review for Free as a kind gesture, if that changed she should have told him not just continued to string him along and stress him out. Again though she will not get enough backlash for the terrible things she continues to do and it's unfortunate when bad people don't get the karma they deserve for the choices they make. She cares only about money at this point and it's so incredibly clear, I wish she could remember for once how hard small business have it to take off an build a platform. If she was truly for helping others grow she would communicate more and keep the promises she makes.
Mikayla is one of the worst influencers I've ever seen, but this actually wasn't all her fault. Sure, she shouldn't have made a promise to review something when she clearly never intended to ACTUALLY review it. That being said, the other guy should not have taken out a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR LOAN based on something that wasn't legally binding, especially when we all know how shitty Mikayla is. It sucks for him, but I suppose that's the price of learning not to trust people without a contract.
This exactly! Like why did he reach out to mikayla KNOWING all the drama around her and the risks it'll be to his business. There are many other big influencers out there who would probably happily review his products heck there are some who's niche is literally to review indie/small brands
@@DominosAndHeartsI think it was bc she had done a review on his competitors product who stole his idea.
@@DominosAndHeartsfrom what it sounds like, SHE offered to fix it and SHE offered to do the review. If SHE didn’t interact with him at all and waste his time, he wouldn’t have taken out that loan. Even STILL after he’d taken out the loan, if she had been honest after that point, he could have just gone to a different influencer and had them do a review instead, BUT because she kept stringing him along, he had to sit there and wait just to be 100% sure he had the stock. I don’t blame him, and he owns up to it. And like it’s said in this video: if she would have posted it and he didn’t have the stock she’d be like “oh this is why I only do adverts for people who pay me mon-I mean big brands, he had plenty of warning” 😒
just checked his tiktok, and he's up to 305k followers. Warms my little heart :)
He didn't even comp her a bottle of tanner, she bought it herself and he's pressuring her non-stop for a free review when her job is featuring and reviewing products. I'm not into it, even if Mikayla sucks, this guy is out of line and bad at business
On one hand i agree to not make business decisions based off promises from people you dont know or who have no obligation to you to be honest but on the other hand, would it have killed her to just be honest????? Why did she have to lie about it and why did she have to give him false hope about it if she clearly never intended to review it?? Yeah she has no responsibility to him whatever but shes only ruining her own reputation atp
i’d love to see a review of the tanner on your 2nd channel! i’ve never used one before but this has caught my eye!
Depends on the state, verbal contract are liable but not as hard written copy
Both are wrong here, she has a business, if he wanted a review he should have made a contract and then buy stock, yes she led him on but still, he should not make decisions like that just by word of mouth
Honestly, I can't understand how the other brand stole the idea of his brand. The same concept is applied in foundations, concealers, and even shampoos. It's a good thing that you can get a custom product that suits you perfectly, so I don't see why it should be exclusive to his brand only
i hope his business does well! and YESSSS you should try it!
While I think it was pretty shitty of her to say "I'll do it tomorrow" and then not do it for months, his response was ridiculous. He took out a loan completely just based on hope that she'd move his stock, AFTER she'd already flaked on him, then sent her a bunch of passive aggressive messages blaming her for his own poor business decisions, and guilt tripping his mental health. Mikayla has done a lot of shady dealings but if someone kept hounding me like that for a free review I wouldn't want to post it either.
She’s cruel. I’d never even WANT her promoting my business because I don’t stand behind her. She lies about everything so how can I believe she didn’t get a spray tan or anything else?!? Mean. Then telling her own followers to shut up && blocking them? She doesn’t care about her followers, brands she works with, products she reviews. She will gasp & love everything for the right price. Howwwww can you watch her knowing that she doesn’t value you or your dollar or ANYTHING but herself?!? It’s wild!! Truly JH 2.0. 🤦🏽♀️
I think I'm gonna go buy some illusion bronze, never heard of it but sounds like an awesome concept!
How's he order $10k in products..... But they are supposedly custom.... Yeah he shouldn't have counted on her when she repeatedly falls short. Lol
Probably the same way your local home-improvement store has the ability to mix pretty much any color of paint. They buy the base products and mix it when it's ordered.
@laura121684 yea I assume that's what he means
Only clicked on this because I saw the Bondi sands logo and they’re the best Aussie tan 👌🏼😂
First love late night uploads ❤️
No one realizes how entitled this all sounds?????????????
imo they’re both in the wrong.
i am unfamiliar with these two influencers but she should not have made promises she couldn’t keep and he should not have made business decisions based on a promise not in writing.
she shouldn’t have been negative about it in her comments that’s just a bit rude she could’ve ignored it.
in my opinion he should not have insinuated that her actions cause him harm mentally when he was the one to make the business choice based on a random video she made a while ago.
again i am unfamiliar with the two but it seems like neither is in the right.
I completely agree
you don't get to where Mikayla is by being a nice person... it just doesn't happen that way 😭
There are so many high up influencers that are not like her, but yes sadly influencers have bigger careers if there is drama to talk about.
she just isnt a good person, i feel bad for anyone who has to meet her
i was so excited for you to cover this omg. seems like you’re one of the only content creators that hasn’t been brainwashed by her 😭
i’ve never used fake tanner but i might have to try his
I need to scream from the rooftops bc I am scared for yall: A CONTRACT IS JUST A PROMISSORY NOTE IF YOU WROTE DOWN AN AGREEMENT ON A NAPKIN UNDER FAIR CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN (and has been in the past) BE USED IN COURT
This whole "I don't do indie brands" anymore because they put up an item in stock reeks of Jen Gerard. Has she ever reviewed Gerard cosmetics? Just a thought
This is the fault of the small business owner. He had no contract and nothing in writing.
On one hand, you'd think she'd be doing what she can to make herself look better after all the drama she's been in. Make-up doesn't hide the blemishes in your personality and online presence.
On the other hand, her fans don't seem to care about any of that, so I guess it's not a concern to her.
im sorry as much as i support small businesses and dislike mikalya, this is entirely his fault.
1. every decision, sponsorship, pr deal has to be done through writing. if nothing was signed on a legal document from both sides then the other person is not obliged to go through with the deal if its not in contract
2. he knows mikayla is problematic, why beg her to sponsor them in the first place?
I tagged you in a few of these glad your covering this shows her true colours and I’m so surprised she still has the platform she does
Jacklyn and now her. This needs to stop!
don't keep saying you're gonna do something at a specific time when you know you're not. one "I'm gonna do it tomorrow" and then "I'm so sorry, things happened and I didn't get the chance" is okay imo, but don't then keep promising for "tomorrow" or any specific timeline.
he was stupid to even bother with that two faced liar. lesson learned the hard way
15:50 exactly. that’s the part she’s missing out
Making my last hour at work way less boring :)))
What’s it going to take for people to see she is a compulsive liar who should not be trusted.
It really makes me laugh when influencers use the word career
Just because it's a new field doesn't mean there isn't real money in it
@@eponinesg well it's like girls on onlyfans who make easy money. Doesn't mean it's a career.
She didn’t owe him anything so him taking a loan out based on a conversation and then blaming her for his debt is ridiculous
He didn’t really blame her for it tho. He said that she never told him to do that and explained why he did, and that it was a mistake. She strung him along for months instead of telling the truth, at this point is a moral issue not a legal issue. It wasn’t just “a conversation” it was MONTHS worth of communication where she told him multiple times that she was going to post a review for his product. It’s about integrity, did you even watch the video??
Never make a financial decision like that without having it in writing! like legal writing lol
Poor dude though, I would love to try it!
“ it was hideous” HELPPPP💀
