    “I’m only charging $600!!” Yeah to do nothing apparently! That’s not much of a deal!

      “Only charging” and not delivering so I guess it could be taken as she’s admitting to scamming

    Thank you so much for this. I wanted to let you know, after many followers and contacts reaching out to their contacts at Tik tok, my account was recently reinstated ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I know not all were as lucky as I have been, and it’s alarming that mass spamming for speaking up is happening to frequently in connection to her.

    I think the biggest issue is why these indi authors felt like they couldn't talk about this when it was happening to them. Bad actors like her getting away with it make all booktok reviewers look shady

    stepped away from booktok because of the drama too. Somehow it gave me the worst reading slump ever. I enjoy your videos on the tea though. I love how you paint the full picture.

    Ik cali is a real person but I’d never! Never (we’ll never say never( use some ones services who slid into my DM because I would have thought she was a scammer

    Oh wow! This is truly..... I'm writing and I truly have no words except: This makes for good drama.
    And her writing a book? For herself? I have to wonder how much true writing she will do and how much it will be AI.... I wouldn't be surprised about that.
    BTW, this Calley person reminds of an author (can't recall her name right now) who trashed other authors and author's books with fake account on GoodReads (and IIRC other sites as well). She was blaming it on her illness, blaming it on medication, things like that. Really, the illness made you write really negative reviews of books you've never read and and trash authors and then lift up her own book like it's the gift everyone has been waiting for....
    Eerily similar feelings....
    Thank you for this video. I had no idea about this. I thought the author community had some really bad apples, but this is just as bad. It's good that word gets out about it.

    Idk why people so many people own books they never intend on reading, but bought simply because it’s popular. Also allowing people to send hundreds books and never read them is wrong.

      @jettash0720 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      But, if she does decide to make apologies, and is truly serious about this book, then I honestly wish her the best with it. But having the reputation she does...I don't think that's going to help too much

    So she doesnt have the wherewithall to film a few tiktoks promoting books that she was paid to do - but she can write a whole novel? Girl....

    Thank you so much for changing the subtitles to a bit less distracting version. It was really hard to follow what you're saying with the big green and red jumping words, the blue's a wee bit friendlier to the eye. 🙈

    For someone to even think of doing this is just fucking disgusting! Like, I get this economy is rough but nothing can excuse what she's done! And the nerve to both double down and act like the victim is actually sickening. Now this just causes more problems in the future for the people who actually want to promote indie authors and their books as authors are going to be less trusting.

    She can’t sit down and spend a couple hours reading a book she’s being paid to read yet she’s going to write a book? I imagine she’ll rush the book because she seems like she has no patience and just wants to make money as fast as possible.

    You can't reason why a person with narcissistic personality disorder, no empath having, mindsets do what they do. Scamming people is justified in their eyes, and if you call them out, they are the victim. Clearly, this "influencer" can not keep her own lies straight.
    ....so glad i never joined the booktok community.

      I don't know for sure if she's a narcissist.But I do know that that type of behavior is encouraged when order to make money off the backs of people you exploited

      can you stop dragging people with personality disorders into this?? just because someone sucks doesn't mean they have NPD

    She sounds like she’s broke and having a rough time. But as a chronically ill girly myself, there comes a time when you gotta know your limits so you create as little trouble as possible. 🥲
    Your nails are 🔥

    Thank you for the breakdown / summary, Shelley! The animated subtitles are kinda distracting/over-stimulating though especially at 2x. 😮‍💨 Not the captions themselves, always appreciate regular subtitles! Besides, it might just be me lol. 🫣
