Imagine having a meeting at work where your supervisors are telling you their personal business, everyone is crying, and they are trying to convince you to stay at the job. I'd be out so quick. It's so unprofessional.
Ya a book club would be great if they want friendship and some adult time. The only cost would be the book and even then u could just go to the library
@@monikaliane not to mention they can have all the self help books they talk about in their mlms and discuss those to their heart’s content. Maybe there should be a book club Facebook group where the main rule is leave the mlm stuff outside the group when you’re on it. Give them a break from having to constantly talk about it. Maybe it would be helpful to them, if not to get them out, then at least give them some time to relax with each other without having to talk about it. Treat each other like normal human beings and not downlines or uplines.
Yes !!!!! Lol a book club. Haha. Or just move solo and invest in the rt ppl but that’s the thing amd we ALL have been guilty of this I’m sure I know I am but I’m wiser now .
What I hear is, “I desperately needed a friend and accidentally joined a cult and now I’m afraid to leave and lose these friendships I’ve grown so accustomed to.”
"To guide my customers into success, into greatness, into believing in themselves, into....into..... I don't know, all the good things" Okay girl, thanks for the inspirational TED talk...
Right listening to some of their statements reminds me of watching the miss whatever beauty pageants on tv and listening to the contestants answer the questions asked like 🥴 girl ya lost me 5 min ago.. its just babbling to me lol
The fact that these girls are on the verge of tears when sharing how they got recruited is a prime example of the type of people this Andrea girl looks for. She pinpointed broken women, made false promises and keeps them there under the illusion that it’s vital to their confidence and self esteem. Not to mention the amount of money they’ve invested is enough to keep them going. This is disgusting.
Agreed. I have 25 years in my STEM field, and I have mentored many a young woman entering the field. They have faced challenges, some like me are “rags to riches” (first-generation college students), and they worry about work-life balance and equitable pay and all of the usual stuff - but I have NEVER heard tales of woe and trauma like I hear from these women. Why are they normalizing the idea of recruiting vulnerable people? Why are they normalizing the idea of someone’s mental health being entirely dependent on their job and “co-workers?” It’s not healthy.
The way they talk about their backs against the wall reminds me of 5 years ago when I left an abusive relationship and became a single mom with zero resources (because of control). I had no job, no bank account, no friends, no car, nothing. Truly, back against the wall with $1k in rent due in 4 days. I can't even tell you how many people preyed on me to join their team, and I'm so glad I didn't have a bank account or any access to credit because I was so vulnerable and desperate to not be homeless with my kids. It just reminds me how much they use the language vulnerable people use to try to relate to them. (PS I became a freelance content writer instead of MLMer, so I'm very fortunate it all worked out.)
Like that was basically a terrible therapy session…. But they call that a “work meeting”?? HAH! ok…. Im gonna try out starting with my emotions at my next department meeting 😹
I’d be pissed if I showed up to a meeting and it was just everyone talking about their depressing stories. What a waste of time with no useful information. Damn. 🙄
The only reason they do this is to get more people to join them. They sit around, talking about their sappy story in hopes of the next broken person joining them. Sooo scammy! 🙄
I thank god I’m not on social media openly because I feel like I’d be a magnet for predatory Huns. The depression stories resonate with me, and I’ve been struggling maintaining a job because I’ve had a four year concussion 🙃 thank you for not letting this shit slide under the radar
I think it should be law to tell the audience: 1,how many are in your downline 2, how much money you actually end up making a month/ year. That should be a MINIMUM
What do they mean, these meetings feed their souls??! Oh lord. If I ever started looking to my monthly P+L meetings and my Excel spreadsheets for spiritual fulfillment, I would hope somebody slaps some sense back into me.
I actually disagree. It is possible to have a career that “feeds your soul” and not be a bad thing. As a teacher, my career feeds my soul immensely. The work that I do is part of my purpose. In fact, I would argue that if education and medical careers weren’t soul-filling, then both American systems would be in even more dire straits-and we already have a teacher shortage nationwide!
@@louhortonsculpture hahaha I can't lie - there is a level of satisfaction that comes with a good Excel function or shortcut. But it definitely doesn't feed my mind, body and soul! 🤣
Every time she went “eeeeeeek” I literally cringed so hard. Holy hell that was brutal. And all that cheap jewelry on display, WOW, I just don’t get it. I mean, I respect the hustle but ffs, it’s shitty jewelry.
i've always loved you but the fact that you are advocating against cults like JWs really means a lot to me. i'm an atheist who was raised roman catholic and i have a lot of religious-based trauma. i know you're spiritual but clearly you understand atheism does NOT equal intolerant! super excited to delve into the podcast! . p.s. POWER PONY ON POINT
"She was in the middle of a flare but we bullied her into working instead of giving her body the rest it needed" - that is absolutely criminal. I totally understand needing to push through when you have a chronic illness. If I stayed in bed every day Crohn's was kicking my ass, I wouldn't have much of a life. But you better fucking believe I'm calling in sick if I'm dealing with an active flare so I can actually get that shit under control. What the actual fuck 🤬😤😠
@@chrissymacneil3811 That sucks ☹️ I didn't mean to suggest that people don't get bullied into working while sick (I've had jobs like that too), just that it *shouldn't* happen.
Oh don’t worry lovely! It’s just not right companies are just bullies to be honest…and they pull all the tricks, guilt trip, hostility and “letting the team down” blah blah….it does suck you’re right xxx
Right? I have POTS. If I don't rest when my heart demands I rest, I'll end up in the ER or my heart wi just...stop. No client or project is worth that.
this entire “meeting” is absolutely disgusting. One of the huge things that I CANNOT stand is the accent switching and using AAVE to sound a certain way. they switch between speaking in their own tones and speaking in “slang”. JUST BE YOURSELF AND TALK HOW YOU TALK.
@@brittanybrown8085 As a linguist, I don’t think that you can legitimately assess the “fakeness/realness of someone else from a one-off video or even less than a few hours exposure to them communicating in different contexts.
@@juliekennedy9891 I understand your point, and I agree you have to hear multiple instances of someone speaking to really know. However as some one who has code switched my whole life, there are certain inflictions I hear when it’s being forced
@@brittanybrown8085 All humans code switch. There is a misunderstanding in America today of what “code switching” is. I do agree that we can hear inflections and naturally feel whether we believe that someone is being “fake” or not. But we should be cognizant of the fact that our own interpretation of their veracity is our own individual interpretation and may not be correct at all. Also, a person engaging in code switching is not being fake simply because you don’t expect them to speak in that way. It is naive to believe that we can look at someone and determine how they “should” speak. This is an accidentally biased and harmful point of view that many people have. I see it in my own community who looks at people darker than me and says they “should” speak Spanish.
@@juliekennedy9891 Andrea's LITERALLY switching back and forth every 11 sentences. That is not her natural vernacular. It sounds extremely unnatural when she tries to use slang so, yes, you can hear the fakeness with her. I agree though that this is not a usual circumstance.
This is absolutely crazy, and these people are not even making a dollar on this shitty jewelry. I’m glad you brought up the super spreader event they hosted. Those people who died Paparazzi has not acknowledged them at all or sent any kind of condolences to the families. They deleted their websites, and treated them like they didn’t exist. It’s so sad to see these poor people get so emotional over a company that at the end of the day does not care.
I am I'm home health and heard that one person's household was having to quarantine...right after the super spreader convention. One of the relatives just happened to be in a certain MLM 🙄 they would try to sell jewelry whenever we went over, it was nuts 😬😱
Even in this video the main girl doesn't even care enough to train those on this call personally. Suggesting they sign up under her people so she gets the money for no work. Sickening.
Omg that lady with all the jewellery in the background looks like she’s just awkwardly waiting for people to come to her store and they ain’t ever coming. Edited to add, all these bloody MLMs talk about “time freedom” etc. How is it time freedom when you’re working through a flare up, through medical issues or traumatic events. Fuck me sideways.
The problem is they sell the business to stay at home moms and others by. “Time freedom” where you can work where and when you want. Which is just complete bullshit. In order to make any money at all. Which most people don’t anyways because the mlm market is so over saturated that 99% of people who join mlm Huns make no money. NONE it’s crazy tho. So many people vulnerable people get caught up in these mlms and lose so much money and end up in so much debt. It’s crazy. Also yeah it’s a store no one is coming too.🤣
While I think there are definitely issues with a traditional corporate setup I also firmly believe there is reason there is a ladder - growth takes time. As a nurse I can't imagine if my director was a incompetent /inexperienced leader - I need her to be a leader in order to do my job! Why do these huns not realize that
I worked under an incompetent "leader" - not corporate, and she was clearly put there to facilitate some money laundring, because she had less qualifications than me for her position. To call it hell is selling it short.
This is totally random, but can I just say how fucking proud of you I am!? You’re KILLING it Chelsea and it’s been so awesome seeing you do so well the past year since I subscribed to your page. Super super happy for you and I look forward to seeing the content you come up with this year!!!! I LOVE THIS FOR YOU!!!!! 🤩👏🏼🥰🤍
It’s so creepy seeing them all telling their stories and getting emotional at the “right point” and than just turning it off. All of them. If you told me this was an acting class I would totally believed you!!
The person crying makes me so sad. I used to cry like this when I would speak to the team. I help my upline to such a high standard and loved them like they were my parents. So sad. We are just a number to them just as much as we are to “corporate America”. I feel so sad for this woman I hope she leaves this horrible MLM
I also have an autoimmune disease and I’m currently in bed resting after a horrendous flareup I had at work yesterday (in my normal 9-5 job). My boss actually advised me to stay at home and look after myself, acknowledged my commitment of coming in despite not feeling very well this week and told me that my health should be my no.1 priority. They have been sooo supportive of my health condition AND I still get sick pay (which you wouldn’t in an MLM). If they’d told me to get my act together and carry on teaching my students despite literally collapsing, having chest palpitations, fever, nausea, searing pain and extreme fatigue, I would have quit there and then. 🙅🏻♀️ ANY job that encourages you to keep going when your body is physically (or mentally) begging you to stop and rest is 100% a red flag 🚩🚩🚩
@@amymckay23 That sucks and yeah, it definitely depends on the person and of course there are going to be bad eggs, but when I used to be in an MLM, they would tell me I wasn’t using the health supplements properly and I needed to keep going if I was having a flare. So glad I don’t need to contend with that anymore!
🤣🤣 it's labeled as a "meeting" however it's a tactic to brainwash vulnerable people on the outside into wasting their money and time getting involved in this scam lol. Dre is actually streaming this zoom call live. Her only intention is to get more naive people to be flopperazzi consultants.
Oh dear god this “meeting”!! I just see a group of really broken women, who’ve been in dark places and have been totally taken advantage of by the toxic positivity and fake friends. I was in an awful place myself a few years ago - struggling with addiction, trying to escape an abusive relationship etc - and I dread to think what would have happened if someone like Andrea had gotten her claws into me. Thank you so much Chelsea, for continuing to shine a light on this 🌸
Urghhh…I’ve just got to the third woman (the one in red who can hardly speak) and this is just cringe now. I work in “the corporate world” and I’m incredibly seen, supported and lifted up by my job. I appreciate I’m lucky and it’s the first time in my career that I have that, but I don’t sit on zoom calls trying to recruit people into the business (I’m the Talent Acquisition Manager) by emotionally blubbing about it!
My heart shattered hearing the story of depression. If you’re to the point where your hair dreads to your scalp that is clinical and to a crisis point. When she joined this “business” she was still in a crisis. WHEN this falls apart and the friendships go with it she’ll fall apart. This scares me and I hate this for her and all of them
The team calls are my FAVORITE. You probably won’t see this, but your videos make me feel so safe and I listen to them when I’m having anxiety. Thank you so much for doing this and being so consistent and unequivocally you. 💕💜🖤
I'm only a third of the way into this and have come to the conclusion that this woman Andrea most definitely preys on vulnerable women. The two that have talked so far were in deep depressions when they joined. That is exactly how cults can get you. This is horrific.
I really feel for the lady talking about losing her grandma. I suspect her grief and feeling of loss is what made her so vulnerable. 🥺 It's really sad. A lot of these women seem to need REAL support and friendship,not a culty mlm.
I once heard Squidward say something to the effect of, " STUPID people talk LOUD, when they are trying to sound SMART"... that being said, I do wish we could hire a scientific researcher who could figure out an answer, to my long standing, burning question. Why, tell me... why do ALL of these "hun meeting leaders" SCREAM, SCREAM, YELL and SCREAM at the people who are in their zoom meetings, or choosing to listen to insta or other platforms? Could it be that a cartoon squid has solved the question already?? just wondering
@@CherryBlossomBlyue perhaps the "yelling for excitement" works at a sporting event. However, these so called business owners are supposedly conducting "business meetings", who screams and yells during a business call/seminar/zoom meeting? I think I'll continue to agree with the cartoon squid. Stupid people talk loud (i.e. scream) when they are trying to sound smart.
@@tamaradavis3693 I can honestly agree with both of y’all’s answers. They’re mainly trying to make themselves sound excited and pumped up about selling their products bc in an MLM scheme like this one, when you’re trying to recruit people to work underneath you, you’re not selling the products so much as your selling the lifestyle (ex. When these ladies are posting on instagram/social media depicting their “boss babe” lives and posting pictures in new products/clothes/jewelry on vacation in a nice place in Mexico talking about how “I could never do this if I worked a corporate job” type thing). That’s just how these marketing companies get you. They sell their lifestyle to you and get you to spend an outrageous amount of money on shitty products all on the faith that “you can make this money back in less than a month” so that you’re now in debt to them for buying your starter pack and then at that point it’s either find a new job or sell this crazy amount of products that you now already spent your money on. But in the grand scheme of things what the cartoon squid said was true for this scenario as well just bc the whole concept is just stupid and these marketing people are trying to make it seem like they all have great lives and can afford to go on an expensive vacation with their families whenever they want when in reality only like 3% of people who work for these companies can actually live like that selling these products alone.
It's interesting how, between this team and JL's Empire team, it seems that the teams themselves are forming into cult-like operations that could move around, between, and beyond the particular MLMs, and maintain their structure without loyalty to a specific MLM, product, etc. Eesh.
That’s a really interesting observation. I speculate it has something to do with the pandemic and the fact that people need to feel connection to others. These charismatic team leaders offer a false sense of connection which is more powerful than the group connection with the MLM. Maybe in the back of their brains these women know the company is a soulless corporation so they attach themselves to the team leader who feels like more of a real person.
I've been watching this for an hour and five minutes now. And I think when I hit my breaking point is when the gorgeous green-haired woman said she went live four days after delivering post c-section. My heart broke. I cannot imagine the place she must have been in to have felt the need to go live for the first time that soon after delivering. I'm so disgusted by how MLMs prey on such vulnerable women. That seed was planted long before that day. Instead of seeking professional help, she felt her best option was selling $5 jewelry. What the F**k?
The names of their “businesses” make me cringe… sparkly bling, the sparkled jewelry box, secret bling, Gor Jess blingbox 😂🤦🏻♀️ the only one that doesn’t make me cringe in this call is Belle Jewelry
😆 glad you acknowledged your dog! In the last video I first thought my husband was snoring on the couch behind me, then when I saw he was reading, I got scared there was something wrong with my own dog (he’s an Italian greyhound, so he doesn’t usually snore like that) 🤣😂🤣 before realizing it stopped when I stopped the video! 😅
This girl is bat shit crazy ! Spending tons of money on water and meanwhile the air in her home is toxic and if she tested her husbands levels it could give her some answers. Too bad someone can’t talk to her husband and tell him to get tested!
@@aking4766 Lmao! I actually live where they bottle Crystal Geyser and there is no damn mountain like the bottle shows. It's actually a gross looking building 🥴
An old friend of mine has just as much, (if not more), jewelry as the lady in the bottom left corner. When she goes live, the amount of products that she has looks like shes literally filming in a freaking Claire’s store!! And that DOESN’T include the stuff she has in totes and boxes!!!! 😳😳😳 It has completely taken over her house. Every room you go in, there is paparazzi shit in EVERY corner!!! It’s insane!!!
And it's so dangerous!!!!!! Look at what's happening with Dre and her family now for crying out loud 😞 her husband's seizures may have been caused by a bad reaction to all the jewelry!!!
It reminds me of the LuLaRoe people. They’d have so many clothes in the backgrounds of their live presentations. I knew a few people who sold it and they had so much product. I kept thinking they’re never going to sell all of that. Some of the patterns were horrible!
I'm actually speechless.... Almost.. What the actual fuck. Tears, over the top over sharing. Faith manipulation. Love bombing. Holy fkn crap. Am I watching part 3 of Down The Rabbit Hole??? .
@@ashleyyy8220 idk about that the “lambs,” but yes! I have been keeping up with this. Such a sad story. She’s literally crazy. I can’t stand this woman
@@Cant3v3n it means "period" or "that's the gods honest truth" google it's a phrase from a viral moment ..which of course Dray borrowed from the black community. shes weird..
It’s funny that they convince these women to start recruiting immediately, when they have no idea what they’re doing. In the previous live with Andrea she specifically stated “you should join under me because I know what I’m doing, you don’t want to join under someone who has no clue what they’re doing!!”. The narrative always changes to whatever is convenient for them at the time 🙄
This gives me flashbacks to when a sorority aggressively pursued me to pledge and their weird love bombing was a MASSIVE turnoff. I kept telling them I wasn’t into sororities and they kept trying to pump all these things that were not up my alley as if they were the greatest thing ever and I kept thinking “oh helllllll no” the whole time YIKES. Also, as an HR professional now, if my department ever heard that this was the kind of stuff people were sharing with potential candidates (excessive personal details, crying, constantly claiming this company has saved them from unaliving themselves) I would be working on putting them on a paid leave because no normal functioning human should be acting like this in a professional environment. They act like this is a sign of dedication but in reality it’s a sign of pre-burnout and (frankly) mental abuse. What the actual f**. Also, 44 MINUTES OF JUST INTROS?! WHAT?! HOW IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY CALL?!
When you said “when you take everything that happens to you as a blessing or sign from god you will never be able to identify a red flag for what it is” and “you need to take off your rose colored glasses” THANK YOU SO MUCH THERES LITERALLY SO MANY PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HEAR THAT.
I have second hand embarrassment!! It’s so bad that the entire panel was looking down on their phones and not engaged in the conversation at all it’s so distracting and makes it hard for the audience to feel part of the conversation when the panel seems checked out and not making eye contact. Sending you oodles of love
I was also in an MLM that sold vacuum cleaners like the Rainbow Vaccum, and it was, to this day, the worst job I've ever had. I only worked there for maybe a month or 2 before I had to quit because I was losing money (and I was broke so, yeah). And the more I watch these, the more that I clearly remember the same tactics and abusive traits used on me and my coworkers. It's vulture culture, cultish, and so unbelievably deceitful. I felt like the fakest person alive while I was there.
Your comment made me remember this one time when I was around 9 years old, a rainbow salesman came to our home. He gave us this wonderful demo of the vacuum and brought this crate like thing of "free gifts" like ... a couple pieces of tupperware, a keychain, maybe some other things but I distinctly remember him having a big bottle of coke in the crate.. as he was showing my mom the stuff, I unscrewed the coke to have a glass.. at that point my mom told him she wasn't interested and it was time for him to go,, the man literally SNATCHED the soda out of my hand, screwed the top back and left with all the "free gifts" lololol.... It was so rude and kinda scary!! wow!! I haven't thought of that in YEARS!! OMG LMAOOOOO!!
I had to pretend that Chelsea was “holding my hand” through this shit soup Zoom call, because the other ladies would probably give me lead poisoning if they tried to hold my hand.
Liking a group of people and doing things with them without getting paid is called friendship, NOT a job. MLMs girls, you have mean girl friends having you do their homework, not a job.
I am currently on lunch from an ACTUAL work from home job that gives me security and payments. It lets me stay home and hang out with my ferrets and keep my retail job on the side, while stepping up on my career. Never been happier that I am not in an MLM and have to devote all the time to it, cause I did and I was miserable.
You know it. As a therapist I sometimes had to go to patient’s home to evaluate their behavior. I always had “home visits” from 12pm on Friday and went home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I feel like I can speak on this. I had a competitor of mine contact me yesterday asking if she can call me about something about her business, confidentially. I said "Of course!" There are 3 or 4 people who are in direct competition with me (small business, in the craft industry), with whom I regularly text funny jokes, customer stories, and even ask for help with something we're stuck on. We are in direct competition. But we support each other and encourage each other when we're down, talk about our personal lives, etc. These were some of the first people I told that I am gay. So yes, you can have friendships like this in business, but it's definitely not a must, and it's definitely not genuine when it's an MLM.
As of this call the highest rank that is currently held by them excluding Andrea is Premier Director. According to the 2020 Income Disclosure the average bonus is $587.33 a month or $7,047.96 a year with a 35% to 45% profit on sales. A new full time (40 hr per week)Target employee makes about $31,000 a year. So a Paparazzi hun would have to sell about $53,000 worth of jewelry a year at the Premier Director level to make about $31,000.
Yeah that’s not happening… I doubt they actually make it to that, there’s no way 😑 Maybe the top but damn this is sad ! Thank you for sharing the info 👍
She says she's just a number in corporate, but the irony is that she's just a number in the MLM. She would be replaced so fast if she left, and they wouldn't talk to her if she decided to leave. Geeking out about Star Trek and going deeeeep with it on Twitter and Twitch is totally my escape from my work. And I love my work consulting with nonprofits. But it can't be ✨everything✨, and they aren't family It's scary how much MLM stuff bleeds over into regular entrepreneur spaces. The focus on personal development has become more than...actually growing a business. It's ridiculous.
Wow, what a breath of fresh air to finally come across a real one such as yourself. So many of these TH-cam creators that are following this story have really shown themselves. You aren't overly inserting yourself for views and clicks and are actually entertaining with a great sense of humor . Keep doing you! ❤️🌞
OH GOD, OK that one whom said 'If I worked a normal work from home job I wouldn't be able to help my husband' BITCH please I work 3 remote jobs working Medical Coding and I CAN help my mother when she needs it, might be a few minutes after she asks for it but I help her. Also all those girls went from smiling to crying back to smiling VERY quickly. Also when you aggressively waved that flag, you scared me and Wigum hehe.
I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and almost EVERYBODY was part of some form of an MLM, it was crazy. My poor father got talked into buying a $4000 Kangen water machine. I didn't know about it until after the sale. smh. Keep up the great work!
Unpopular opinion: my small business does “feed my soul” so to speak. BUT! I literally centered it around nature so I could spend as much time outside as possible. That’s my happy place, the place I feel energized & fulfilled. Why grow a business that doesn’t make me feel purpose? 🤷🏼♀️ I hate when the Huns say something I agree with OUTSIDE the context of an MLM. There’s nothing that says you can’t build a business centered around what fulfills you. But the MLMs are not on the same level. Don’t come with that toxic junk & say it’s fulfilling. That’s just bullshit.
I'd never hustle for jewelry where you profit 19 cents to $1.89 per piece nor for the health issues that come with it. My burning question is: Did her husband have have the health issues before the jewelry got into the house?
I know I am dying to know too! But I’m thinking either way it can’t be a good thing whether it’s causing it or he had something pre existing and it could be making it worse!! But she definitely comes off as the holistic “naturopath” type of person after hearing the stuff she was saying about not drinking hot or cold water…and the stuff about being electric beings. Sooo who even knows if he has an accurate diagnosis. I’m purely speculating but I definitely get those vibes from her..
It's really sad that these girls are under Andrea who's supposedly high up but they're mostly "Director" rank which is $100-$300 per month not including costs... yikes.
Wow!😳🙄 I didn't realize that Paparazzi was an MLM until I watched your and Hannah Alonzo's Anti-MLM videos! (Subscribed to both within the last few months...) THANKS! 😁 How sad for the countless folks who feel that they joined MLM's thinking that the recruiters, etc. were their new friends. Yeah...until the folks leave the MLM...then blocked. ☹️💔
I am young and a caregiver of my husband who had a stroke 11 years ago. I work for myself as an Online Business Manager and Podcaster and all of my clients know what's going on so when we have to take him to the hospital, it's not a problem. I still get paid and have the ability to do my support when I can. Having to be on lives and constantly pushing to desperately get other people to join my pyramid scheme....this is horrific. :(
Thank YOU Chelsea for bringing humour ,facts and reality to this subject. There are over thousands of legit small businesses and free groups to join ,Savy writes books has and independent business FB page FREE! You can get a connection with some customers without being in an MLM. I know this because my husband owns two small businesses! It's so scary how they think am MLM is the only way . But it's NOT!!! Please keep up the good fight Chelsea! Please give Mr W a hug from me.
This is so fucking wild. She’s wild af!! Like was she not like super mellow and chill in the last video and now she’s gangsta 😂😂 I can’t with these “leaders”
I am obsessed with my husband in the clingiest of ways, but if we both worked from home, let alone in the same business, I would lose my freaking mind. You have to have a chance to miss your significant other and you need to have your own identity apart from your marriage, kids, etc. The idea of "retiring a husband" is crazy to me. I want my man out there doing big things and feeling empowered, not at home just being my cheerleader. Side note, we don't have kids so maybe that makes a difference, but still.
The more of these I watch the more I realize why I failed at MLMs. I am just like "...and your point is? Are we ever going to start the meeting? How do I actually sell this, I am in college and only ever had a job in my-going-to-college-for-field?" I didn't want a family, I had one....I wanted money!
I love ur videos and adore ur style. I often wondered if these crazy people believe what they preach bc it so occultish and they are not making the money. Bless u for educating people on these life destroying MLMs. Am screaming at the screen.. It's junk jewelry ur trying to sell ! Good grief 🤦🏼♀️
There’s a black car salesmen who went viral on TikTok for “we’re where the what? where the money resides…. And that’s on Mary had a little lamb.” He got it trademarked before people could make money off his fame.
The fact that so many of these women straight up said that this isn't about the jewellery and that it could go away tomorrow, but they'd still be a team gives me WFABB vibes. I could see the same sort of thing happening with these women.
I’m so glad I’ve always been kinda aware that MLMs are problematic. I can see how this one could’ve lured me in with all the FOMO they push. Now that I’ve been fully anti-MLM I’m just so sad for everybody involved and so angry at the people at the top.
Imagine having a meeting at work where your supervisors are telling you their personal business, everyone is crying, and they are trying to convince you to stay at the job. I'd be out so quick. It's so unprofessional.
this.🙌🏼
True. The crying is cringe.
Imagine everyone at work starting there instead of getting treatment for their clinical depression
Right?!?! I would be one busy HR person if they worked at my company and pulled this crap! Lol
It's the lead 🤪
These women need a book club. They want the sorority experience, but unfortunately get caught up in these scams trying to find that community.

Yes !!!!! Lol a book club. Haha. Or just move solo and invest in the rt ppl but that’s the thing amd we ALL have been guilty of this I’m sure I know I am but I’m wiser now .
What I hear is, “I desperately needed a friend and accidentally joined a cult and now I’m afraid to leave and lose these friendships I’ve grown so accustomed to.”
"To guide my customers into success, into greatness, into believing in themselves, into....into..... I don't know, all the good things" Okay girl, thanks for the inspirational TED talk...
Right listening to some of their statements reminds me of watching the miss whatever beauty pageants on tv and listening to the contestants answer the questions asked like 🥴 girl ya lost me 5 min ago.. its just babbling to me lol
It's the cliff notes version of a pep talk lol
The fact that these girls are on the verge of tears when sharing how they got recruited is a prime example of the type of people this Andrea girl looks for. She pinpointed broken women, made false promises and keeps them there under the illusion that it’s vital to their confidence and self esteem. Not to mention the amount of money they’ve invested is enough to keep them going. This is disgusting.
Facts
💯
Agreed. I have 25 years in my STEM field, and I have mentored many a young woman entering the field. They have faced challenges, some like me are “rags to riches” (first-generation college students), and they worry about work-life balance and equitable pay and all of the usual stuff - but I have NEVER heard tales of woe and trauma like I hear from these women. Why are they normalizing the idea of recruiting vulnerable people? Why are they normalizing the idea of someone’s mental health being entirely dependent on their job and “co-workers?” It’s not healthy.
that one lady in the bottom left corner just looked so depressed from the beginning...like she REALLY didn't want to be on that call...
It’s honestly so sad
I work for a life-saving charity and our meetings aren't this emotionally charged. This is insane.
Dre is insane.
Omg and she got that classic accent
The way they talk about their backs against the wall reminds me of 5 years ago when I left an abusive relationship and became a single mom with zero resources (because of control). I had no job, no bank account, no friends, no car, nothing.
Truly, back against the wall with $1k in rent due in 4 days.
I can't even tell you how many people preyed on me to join their team, and I'm so glad I didn't have a bank account or any access to credit because I was so vulnerable and desperate to not be homeless with my kids.
It just reminds me how much they use the language vulnerable people use to try to relate to them.
(PS I became a freelance content writer instead of MLMer, so I'm very fortunate it all worked out.)
God was looking out for you when you were in a dark time 🙏🏼
Before I read your “PS” I was going to thank you for spelling prey correctly 😂. Now it makes sense!
Corporate meetings: “First thing on the agenda today…. “
MLM meetings: “ima try and not get too emotional right now…”
this made me LOL.. just imagining my boss saying this 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Like that was basically a terrible therapy session…. But they call that a “work meeting”?? HAH! ok…. Im gonna try out starting with my emotions at my next department meeting 😹
These emotionally fragile little girls would not last a day in a real work environment. No wonder they get into scams
@@andreafrancesca1732 Evwn worse it's a recruitment call or training call
"My group is full of good vibrations."
I didn't realize this was a Pure Romance call.
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
I’d be pissed if I showed up to a meeting and it was just everyone talking about their depressing stories. What a waste of time with no useful information. Damn. 🙄
SAME
The only reason they do this is to get more people to join them. They sit around, talking about their sappy story in hopes of the next broken person joining them. Sooo scammy! 🙄
😂😂👏👏👏
I thank god I’m not on social media openly because I feel like I’d be a magnet for predatory Huns. The depression stories resonate with me, and I’ve been struggling maintaining a job because I’ve had a four year concussion 🙃 thank you for not letting this shit slide under the radar
Post TBI is rough, sending hugs
I think it should be law to tell the audience:
1,how many are in your downline
2, how much money you actually end up making a month/ year.
That should be a MINIMUM
What do they mean, these meetings feed their souls??! Oh lord. If I ever started looking to my monthly P+L meetings and my Excel spreadsheets for spiritual fulfillment, I would hope somebody slaps some sense back into me.
As a grad student I can 100% concur, Excel spreadsheets offer no spiritual fulfillment lol
I actually disagree. It is possible to have a career that “feeds your soul” and not be a bad thing. As a teacher, my career feeds my soul immensely. The work that I do is part of my purpose. In fact, I would argue that if education and medical careers weren’t soul-filling, then both American systems would be in even more dire straits-and we already have a teacher shortage nationwide!
@@louhortonsculpture hahaha I can't lie - there is a level of satisfaction that comes with a good Excel function or shortcut. But it definitely doesn't feed my mind, body and soul! 🤣
Feed their souls with demon food. 🙈
This!!!!!
“I could care less about the jewelry.” Is a horrible thing to say when “selling” a business. 🥴
Especially when the phrase is 'i couldn't care less'. The other way literally implies that she could care less 😂😂😂
Me, heading to bed
Me, sees this video
Me, is not going to bed
Ditto
✋🏻same
Literally
Every time she went “eeeeeeek” I literally cringed so hard. Holy hell that was brutal. And all that cheap jewelry on display, WOW, I just don’t get it. I mean, I respect the hustle but ffs, it’s shitty jewelry.
Omg I know it’s SO UGLY!!!!!!
Right what’s with all the squealing?! It’s so annoying
My kitten ran out of the room when she yelled like that.
I got very anxious and had to walk a way a few times. But I powered through it over almost four hours 🤢
Cool name! 😎 but seriously I dont know if I should feel sorry for them or just shake my head at the stupidity
i've always loved you but the fact that you are advocating against cults like JWs really means a lot to me. i'm an atheist who was raised roman catholic and i have a lot of religious-based trauma. i know you're spiritual but clearly you understand atheism does NOT equal intolerant! super excited to delve into the podcast!
.
p.s. POWER PONY ON POINT
"She was in the middle of a flare but we bullied her into working instead of giving her body the rest it needed" - that is absolutely criminal. I totally understand needing to push through when you have a chronic illness. If I stayed in bed every day Crohn's was kicking my ass, I wouldn't have much of a life. But you better fucking believe I'm calling in sick if I'm dealing with an active flare so I can actually get that shit under control. What the actual fuck 🤬😤😠
Right? Mine isn’t a chronic illness, but if I don’t rest when I need to I’ll be straight up bed ridden for days
My work is like this….you are expected in regardless
@@chrissymacneil3811 That sucks ☹️ I didn't mean to suggest that people don't get bullied into working while sick (I've had jobs like that too), just that it *shouldn't* happen.
Oh don’t worry lovely! It’s just not right companies are just bullies to be honest…and they pull all the tricks, guilt trip, hostility and “letting the team down” blah blah….it does suck you’re right xxx
Right? I have POTS. If I don't rest when my heart demands I rest, I'll end up in the ER or my heart wi just...stop. No client or project is worth that.
this entire “meeting” is absolutely disgusting. One of the huge things that I CANNOT stand is the accent switching and using AAVE to sound a certain way. they switch between speaking in their own tones and speaking in “slang”. JUST BE YOURSELF AND TALK HOW YOU TALK.
I legit wince when I hear the switch up. You can be funny, relatable and personable with out it. And you can ALWAYS TELL when it’s natural.
@@brittanybrown8085 As a linguist, I don’t think that you can legitimately assess the “fakeness/realness of someone else from a one-off video or even less than a few hours exposure to them communicating in different contexts.
@@juliekennedy9891 I understand your point, and I agree you have to hear multiple instances of someone speaking to really know. However as some one who has code switched my whole life, there are certain inflictions I hear when it’s being forced
@@brittanybrown8085 All humans code switch. There is a misunderstanding in America today of what “code switching” is. I do agree that we can hear inflections and naturally feel whether we believe that someone is being “fake” or not. But we should be cognizant of the fact that our own interpretation of their veracity is our own individual interpretation and may not be correct at all. Also, a person engaging in code switching is not being fake simply because you don’t expect them to speak in that way. It is naive to believe that we can look at someone and determine how they “should” speak. This is an accidentally biased and harmful point of view that many people have. I see it in my own community who looks at people darker than me and says they “should” speak Spanish.
@@juliekennedy9891 Andrea's LITERALLY switching back and forth every 11 sentences. That is not her natural vernacular. It sounds extremely unnatural when she tries to use slang so, yes, you can hear the fakeness with her. I agree though that this is not a usual circumstance.
This is absolutely crazy, and these people are not even making a dollar on this shitty jewelry. I’m glad you brought up the super spreader event they hosted. Those people who died Paparazzi has not acknowledged them at all or sent any kind of condolences to the families. They deleted their websites, and treated them like they didn’t exist. It’s so sad to see these poor people get so emotional over a company that at the end of the day does not care.
Exactly. Savannah Marie’s Paparazzi series since their convention display this disgusting behavior from the owners.
I am I'm home health and heard that one person's household was having to quarantine...right after the super spreader convention. One of the relatives just happened to be in a certain MLM 🙄 they would try to sell jewelry whenever we went over, it was nuts 😬😱
@@aking4766 it's disgusting isn't it?
Even in this video the main girl doesn't even care enough to train those on this call personally. Suggesting they sign up under her people so she gets the money for no work. Sickening.
As you said they don’t care about the families nor there employees I worked for papaeazzi I you wouldn’t believe what happens behind doors sad !
Omg that lady with all the jewellery in the background looks like she’s just awkwardly waiting for people to come to her store and they ain’t ever coming.
Edited to add, all these bloody MLMs talk about “time freedom” etc. How is it time freedom when you’re working through a flare up, through medical issues or traumatic events. Fuck me sideways.
Dude. I’m dead 😭🤦🏻♀️🤣
The problem is they sell the business to stay at home moms and others by. “Time freedom” where you can work where and when you want. Which is just complete bullshit. In order to make any money at all. Which most people don’t anyways because the mlm market is so over saturated that 99% of people who join mlm Huns make no money. NONE it’s crazy tho. So many people vulnerable people get caught up in these mlms and lose so much money and end up in so much debt. It’s crazy. Also yeah it’s a store no one is coming too.🤣
While I think there are definitely issues with a traditional corporate setup I also firmly believe there is reason there is a ladder - growth takes time. As a nurse I can't imagine if my director was a incompetent /inexperienced leader - I need her to be a leader in order to do my job! Why do these huns not realize that
That's a really good point, your example as a nurse really illustrates the need for seasoned leadership to me.
I’m a teacher working under an incompetent leader. It’s chaos.
I worked under an incompetent "leader" - not corporate, and she was clearly put there to facilitate some money laundring, because she had less qualifications than me for her position.
To call it hell is selling it short.
They just want the success and money, without having to go to work or actually work.
I just can't get over how they're this emotional about selling $5 jewelry.
It's not about the jewelery though. It's the "oppurtunity" the jewelery affords and the community it brings yada, yada,. Thats the way that cults work
Dang not even 2mins in n her mask slipped nevermind. Not to mention she looks like a He whistled at me. So sorry that I'm not that sorry ijs.
Fah reals
I can't believe they also have freaking LEAD in them too! 😫
This is totally random, but can I just say how fucking proud of you I am!? You’re KILLING it Chelsea and it’s been so awesome seeing you do so well the past year since I subscribed to your page. Super super happy for you and I look forward to seeing the content you come up with this year!!!! I LOVE THIS FOR YOU!!!!! 🤩👏🏼🥰🤍
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so creepy seeing them all telling their stories and getting emotional at the “right point” and than just turning it off. All of them. If you told me this was an acting class I would totally believed you!!
Yeah it felt very forced and practiced. They tell this story all the time and know how to tell it.
😂🤣😂🤣😅
If my employer ever said we're like a "family" & started crying on a call I would immediately leave. So inappropriate
My ex boss said stuff like that and I was like, “Wow. 😳 We’re a shitty ass, dysfunctional family then. We are all miserable and hate it here” 👋🏼😂
@@okoala62 LOL
@@okoala62 Lol 😂 at work when we say we are like a family, we always follow that with "A big dysfunctional one."
The person crying makes me so sad. I used to cry like this when I would speak to the team. I help my upline to such a high standard and loved them like they were my parents. So sad. We are just a number to them just as much as we are to “corporate America”. I feel so sad for this woman I hope she leaves this horrible MLM
Just laying around not able to sleep...to get a new vid at night, yayyy, thank you!
Girl same here, can't 😴 either.
I also have an autoimmune disease and I’m currently in bed resting after a horrendous flareup I had at work yesterday (in my normal 9-5 job). My boss actually advised me to stay at home and look after myself, acknowledged my commitment of coming in despite not feeling very well this week and told me that my health should be my no.1 priority. They have been sooo supportive of my health condition AND I still get sick pay (which you wouldn’t in an MLM).
If they’d told me to get my act together and carry on teaching my students despite literally collapsing, having chest palpitations, fever, nausea, searing pain and extreme fatigue, I would have quit there and then. 🙅🏻♀️
ANY job that encourages you to keep going when your body is physically (or mentally) begging you to stop and rest is 100% a red flag 🚩🚩🚩
I hope your flare cools down and you feel better soon
@@maryeckel9682 Thank you so much 🙏🏼💜
@@amymckay23 That sucks and yeah, it definitely depends on the person and of course there are going to be bad eggs, but when I used to be in an MLM, they would tell me I wasn’t using the health supplements properly and I needed to keep going if I was having a flare. So glad I don’t need to contend with that anymore!
This is a meeting that could’ve been an email when you were called into the office on your day off that has nothing to do with your department.
💯
🤣🤣 it's labeled as a "meeting" however it's a tactic to brainwash vulnerable people on the outside into wasting their money and time getting involved in this scam lol. Dre is actually streaming this zoom call live. Her only intention is to get more naive people to be flopperazzi consultants.
Oh dear god this “meeting”!! I just see a group of really broken women, who’ve been in dark places and have been totally taken advantage of by the toxic positivity and fake friends.
I was in an awful place myself a few years ago - struggling with addiction, trying to escape an abusive relationship etc - and I dread to think what would have happened if someone like Andrea had gotten her claws into me.
Thank you so much Chelsea, for continuing to shine a light on this 🌸
Urghhh…I’ve just got to the third woman (the one in red who can hardly speak) and this is just cringe now.
I work in “the corporate world” and I’m incredibly seen, supported and lifted up by my job. I appreciate I’m lucky and it’s the first time in my career that I have that, but I don’t sit on zoom calls trying to recruit people into the business (I’m the Talent Acquisition Manager) by emotionally blubbing about it!
My heart shattered hearing the story of depression. If you’re to the point where your hair dreads to your scalp that is clinical and to a crisis point. When she joined this “business” she was still in a crisis. WHEN this falls apart and the friendships go with it she’ll fall apart. This scares me and I hate this for her and all of them
The team calls are my FAVORITE. You probably won’t see this, but your videos make me feel so safe and I listen to them when I’m having anxiety. Thank you so much for doing this and being so consistent and unequivocally you. 💕💜🖤
Wow! Same here. When I'm feeling slight anxiety I put a bit of Chelsea on. It's something safe about it.
I'm only a third of the way into this and have come to the conclusion that this woman Andrea most definitely preys on vulnerable women. The two that have talked so far were in deep depressions when they joined. That is exactly how cults can get you. This is horrific.
The sad thing is I don't even think she sees it as preying on them so much as she is helping them to be better versions of themselves
I really feel for the lady talking about losing her grandma. I suspect her grief and feeling of loss is what made her so vulnerable. 🥺 It's really sad. A lot of these women seem to need REAL support and friendship,not a culty mlm.
She’s the one that made the herbal company with.
For shit sakes Chelsea I was just about to put Big Brother on!! Sorry Julie Chen ✌🏼
You made the right choice.
grab a drink and a snackie. its a real long one bestie
You guys should do a Shannan's Watt collab next. She was heavily involved with Thrive- Level. Just a suggestion.
The fact that they're all up here crying just shows this company sucks in people who are at their lowest and vulnerable 😔
I once heard Squidward say something to the effect of, " STUPID people talk LOUD, when they are trying to sound SMART"... that being said, I do wish we could hire a scientific researcher who could figure out an answer, to my long standing, burning question. Why, tell me... why do ALL of these "hun meeting leaders" SCREAM, SCREAM, YELL and SCREAM at the people who are in their zoom meetings, or choosing to listen to insta or other platforms? Could it be that a cartoon squid has solved the question already?? just wondering
I love this
I think it’s anxiety and over compensating for the nagging feeling I know their conscience must be giving them for knowingly scamming people
Its cause they are trying get people excited and hyped and the yelling does that
@@CherryBlossomBlyue perhaps the "yelling for excitement" works at a sporting event. However, these so called business owners are supposedly conducting "business meetings", who screams and yells during a business call/seminar/zoom meeting? I think I'll continue to agree with the cartoon squid. Stupid people talk loud (i.e. scream) when they are trying to sound smart.
@@tamaradavis3693 I can honestly agree with both of y’all’s answers. They’re mainly trying to make themselves sound excited and pumped up about selling their products bc in an MLM scheme like this one, when you’re trying to recruit people to work underneath you, you’re not selling the products so much as your selling the lifestyle (ex. When these ladies are posting on instagram/social media depicting their “boss babe” lives and posting pictures in new products/clothes/jewelry on vacation in a nice place in Mexico talking about how “I could never do this if I worked a corporate job” type thing). That’s just how these marketing companies get you. They sell their lifestyle to you and get you to spend an outrageous amount of money on shitty products all on the faith that “you can make this money back in less than a month” so that you’re now in debt to them for buying your starter pack and then at that point it’s either find a new job or sell this crazy amount of products that you now already spent your money on. But in the grand scheme of things what the cartoon squid said was true for this scenario as well just bc the whole concept is just stupid and these marketing people are trying to make it seem like they all have great lives and can afford to go on an expensive vacation with their families whenever they want when in reality only like 3% of people who work for these companies can actually live like that selling these products alone.
It's interesting how, between this team and JL's Empire team, it seems that the teams themselves are forming into cult-like operations that could move around, between, and beyond the particular MLMs, and maintain their structure without loyalty to a specific MLM, product, etc. Eesh.
All hail, mama Drea! 😂
That’s a really interesting observation. I speculate it has something to do with the pandemic and the fact that people need to feel connection to others. These charismatic team leaders offer a false sense of connection which is more powerful than the group connection with the MLM. Maybe in the back of their brains these women know the company is a soulless corporation so they attach themselves to the team leader who feels like more of a real person.
I've been watching this for an hour and five minutes now. And I think when I hit my breaking point is when the gorgeous green-haired woman said she went live four days after delivering post c-section. My heart broke. I cannot imagine the place she must have been in to have felt the need to go live for the first time that soon after delivering. I'm so disgusted by how MLMs prey on such vulnerable women. That seed was planted long before that day. Instead of seeking professional help, she felt her best option was selling $5 jewelry. What the F**k?
Lol
The names of their “businesses” make me cringe… sparkly bling, the sparkled jewelry box, secret bling, Gor Jess blingbox 😂🤦🏻♀️ the only one that doesn’t make me cringe in this call is Belle Jewelry
"hustle and glow" lmaooooo the names are hilarious
😆 glad you acknowledged your dog! In the last video I first thought my husband was snoring on the couch behind me, then when I saw he was reading, I got scared there was something wrong with my own dog (he’s an Italian greyhound, so he doesn’t usually snore like that) 🤣😂🤣 before realizing it stopped when I stopped the video! 😅
The friendship and love we have for each other is SOoOoO amazing , until someone quits and u cut them from your life as if u never knew them 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Can't wait to hear about expensive water in glass jugs
Buhahahaha
😂😂😂 don't forget about that Crystal Geyser as well!
This girl is bat shit crazy ! Spending tons of money on water and meanwhile the air in her home is toxic and if she tested her husbands levels it could give her some answers. Too bad someone can’t talk to her husband and tell him to get tested!
@@aking4766 Lmao! I actually live where they bottle Crystal Geyser and there is no damn mountain like the bottle shows. It's actually a gross looking building 🥴
An old friend of mine has just as much, (if not more), jewelry as the lady in the bottom left corner. When she goes live, the amount of products that she has looks like shes literally filming in a freaking Claire’s store!! And that DOESN’T include the stuff she has in totes and boxes!!!! 😳😳😳 It has completely taken over her house. Every room you go in, there is paparazzi shit in EVERY corner!!! It’s insane!!!
Jesus Christ
And it's so dangerous!!!!!! Look at what's happening with Dre and her family now for crying out loud 😞 her husband's seizures may have been caused by a bad reaction to all the jewelry!!!
Hope your friend has seen the light.
It reminds me of the LuLaRoe people. They’d have so many clothes in the backgrounds of their live presentations. I knew a few people who sold it and they had so much product. I kept thinking they’re never going to sell all of that. Some of the patterns were horrible!
@Evanesse F the jewelry has been proven to have unsafe amounts of lead. There is no definitive proof either way, but it couldn't have helped.
I think it is alarming that every woman on this zoom call has a heart breaking story before they joined paparazzi. They were in such vulnerable spaces
I'm actually speechless.... Almost.. What the actual fuck. Tears, over the top over sharing. Faith manipulation. Love bombing. Holy fkn crap. Am I watching part 3 of Down The Rabbit Hole??? .
You caught on to her before anyone else!! Everything you said was so right it’s crazy!
Yep!
And that’s on “Mary Had a Little Lamb!” Excuse me, but wtf?! This woman thinks she’s so cool, but she is so fn cringe 😬😬😬
What does that even mean? truth? ... Because Mary had a little lamb? Oh God this is making me cringe even thinking about it and in depth... 😬
@@Cant3v3n lol, it was just something I believe she thought sounded witty and funny, but she just sounded even more like a moron 😂
she calls her kids “lambs” and now her husband is in a sus coma 👀
@@ashleyyy8220 idk about that the “lambs,” but yes! I have been keeping up with this. Such a sad story. She’s literally crazy. I can’t stand this woman
@@Cant3v3n it means "period" or "that's the gods honest truth" google it's a phrase from a viral moment ..which of course Dray borrowed from the black community. shes weird..
It’s funny that they convince these women to start recruiting immediately, when they have no idea what they’re doing. In the previous live with Andrea she specifically stated “you should join under me because I know what I’m doing, you don’t want to join under someone who has no clue what they’re doing!!”. The narrative always changes to whatever is convenient for them at the time 🙄
This gives me flashbacks to when a sorority aggressively pursued me to pledge and their weird love bombing was a MASSIVE turnoff. I kept telling them I wasn’t into sororities and they kept trying to pump all these things that were not up my alley as if they were the greatest thing ever and I kept thinking “oh helllllll no” the whole time YIKES.
Also, as an HR professional now, if my department ever heard that this was the kind of stuff people were sharing with potential candidates (excessive personal details, crying, constantly claiming this company has saved them from unaliving themselves) I would be working on putting them on a paid leave because no normal functioning human should be acting like this in a professional environment. They act like this is a sign of dedication but in reality it’s a sign of pre-burnout and (frankly) mental abuse. What the actual f**.
Also, 44 MINUTES OF JUST INTROS?! WHAT?! HOW IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY CALL?!
It's an altar call.
All couch people take naps for fun!! My favorite past time!
When you said “when you take everything that happens to you as a blessing or sign from god you will never be able to identify a red flag for what it is” and “you need to take off your rose colored glasses” THANK YOU SO MUCH THERES LITERALLY SO MANY PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HEAR THAT.
I have second hand embarrassment!! It’s so bad that the entire panel was looking down on their phones and not engaged in the conversation at all it’s so distracting and makes it hard for the audience to feel part of the conversation when the panel seems checked out and not making eye contact. Sending you oodles of love
I was also in an MLM that sold vacuum cleaners like the Rainbow Vaccum, and it was, to this day, the worst job I've ever had. I only worked there for maybe a month or 2 before I had to quit because I was losing money (and I was broke so, yeah). And the more I watch these, the more that I clearly remember the same tactics and abusive traits used on me and my coworkers. It's vulture culture, cultish, and so unbelievably deceitful. I felt like the fakest person alive while I was there.
Your comment made me remember this one time when I was around 9 years old, a rainbow salesman came to our home. He gave us this wonderful demo of the vacuum and brought this crate like thing of "free gifts" like ... a couple pieces of tupperware, a keychain, maybe some other things but I distinctly remember him having a big bottle of coke in the crate.. as he was showing my mom the stuff, I unscrewed the coke to have a glass.. at that point my mom told him she wasn't interested and it was time for him to go,, the man literally SNATCHED the soda out of my hand, screwed the top back and left with all the "free gifts" lololol.... It was so rude and kinda scary!! wow!! I haven't thought of that in YEARS!! OMG LMAOOOOO!!
Andrea - your husbands health issues may have something to do with the toxic toy jewellery 🙄
I had to pretend that Chelsea was “holding my hand” through this shit soup Zoom call, because the other ladies would probably give me lead poisoning if they tried to hold my hand.
Liking a group of people and doing things with them without getting paid is called friendship, NOT a job. MLMs girls, you have mean girl friends having you do their homework, not a job.
I am currently on lunch from an ACTUAL work from home job that gives me security and payments. It lets me stay home and hang out with my ferrets and keep my retail job on the side, while stepping up on my career. Never been happier that I am not in an MLM and have to devote all the time to it, cause I did and I was miserable.
Well I was going to go to bed but no one really works on Fridays anyway so tomorrow will be fine. Grabbing the popcorn!
Same, yayyy!
You know it. As a therapist I sometimes had to go to patient’s home to evaluate their behavior. I always had “home visits” from 12pm on Friday and went home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I feel like I can speak on this. I had a competitor of mine contact me yesterday asking if she can call me about something about her business, confidentially. I said "Of course!" There are 3 or 4 people who are in direct competition with me (small business, in the craft industry), with whom I regularly text funny jokes, customer stories, and even ask for help with something we're stuck on. We are in direct competition. But we support each other and encourage each other when we're down, talk about our personal lives, etc. These were some of the first people I told that I am gay. So yes, you can have friendships like this in business, but it's definitely not a must, and it's definitely not genuine when it's an MLM.
As of this call the highest rank that is currently held by them excluding Andrea is Premier Director. According to the 2020 Income Disclosure the average bonus is $587.33 a month or $7,047.96 a year with a 35% to 45% profit on sales. A new full time (40 hr per week)Target employee makes about $31,000 a year. So a Paparazzi hun would have to sell about $53,000 worth of jewelry a year at the Premier Director level to make about $31,000.
And the Premier Director rank is 2.88% of the company.
Yeah that’s not happening… I doubt they actually make it to that, there’s no way 😑 Maybe the top but damn this is sad ! Thank you for sharing the info 👍
@@TaylorX3 exactly
Working for an MLM is just so embarrassing, they prey on people who are down on their luck . Very cult like
I rolled my eyes so much during this that my partner thought I was possessed 🙄 I'm definitely disturbed

Lmfao
She says she's just a number in corporate, but the irony is that she's just a number in the MLM. She would be replaced so fast if she left, and they wouldn't talk to her if she decided to leave.
Geeking out about Star Trek and going deeeeep with it on Twitter and Twitch is totally my escape from my work. And I love my work consulting with nonprofits. But it can't be ✨everything✨, and they aren't family
It's scary how much MLM stuff bleeds over into regular entrepreneur spaces. The focus on personal development has become more than...actually growing a business. It's ridiculous.
Yessss! I was just catching up on the Paparazzi dramz. So excited for this!
Anytime someone say SUPER in front of what they saying RUNNNNNNNNNNN! Super pumped, Super excited, Super stoked
Wow, what a breath of fresh air to finally come across a real one such as yourself. So many of these TH-cam creators that are following this story have really shown themselves. You aren't overly inserting yourself for views and clicks and are actually entertaining with a great sense of humor . Keep doing you! ❤️🌞
OH GOD, OK that one whom said 'If I worked a normal work from home job I wouldn't be able to help my husband' BITCH please I work 3 remote jobs working Medical Coding and I CAN help my mother when she needs it, might be a few minutes after she asks for it but I help her. Also all those girls went from smiling to crying back to smiling VERY quickly. Also when you aggressively waved that flag, you scared me and Wigum hehe.
💜👍
That pony!! Looked so soft and silky, hair is flawless as per always 👠💅
OMG when you waved the flag and scared wiggum 😂🤣😂🤣
The editing on this video is just *chef's kiss* had me dying with Chelsie's commentary 😂
I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and almost EVERYBODY was part of some form of an MLM, it was crazy. My poor father got talked into buying a $4000 Kangen water machine. I didn't know about it until after the sale. smh. Keep up the great work!
Omg I had a bf who was psycho over that Kangen water machine. As soon as I would walk in the door he would spray me!!!!!! Literally spray me 😂😂😂😂
Anyone else catch the part where she referred to her downline as her "customers"? Probably the most honest thing an MLM hun has ever said.
youll be hitting 60k soon woo hoo!!! yay! so proud of you chelsea. u help me get my cleaning done and i learn so much!
Thank you!!!!! Getting there so excited!!
Unpopular opinion: my small business does “feed my soul” so to speak. BUT! I literally centered it around nature so I could spend as much time outside as possible. That’s my happy place, the place I feel energized & fulfilled. Why grow a business that doesn’t make me feel purpose? 🤷🏼♀️
I hate when the Huns say something I agree with OUTSIDE the context of an MLM. There’s nothing that says you can’t build a business centered around what fulfills you. But the MLMs are not on the same level. Don’t come with that toxic junk & say it’s fulfilling. That’s just bullshit.
Of course. It should make you happy and you should have passion, but this isn’t their own business. This is a sale job.
It’s not a CC Suarez video without Wiggum snoring in the background 😭❤️
I'd never hustle for jewelry where you profit 19 cents to $1.89 per piece nor for the health issues that come with it.
My burning question is: Did her husband have have the health issues before the jewelry got into the house?
I know I am dying to know too! But I’m thinking either way it can’t be a good thing whether it’s causing it or he had something pre existing and it could be making it worse!! But she definitely comes off as the holistic “naturopath” type of person after hearing the stuff she was saying about not drinking hot or cold water…and the stuff about being electric beings. Sooo who even knows if he has an accurate diagnosis. I’m purely speculating but I definitely get those vibes from her..
Her husband began getting sick after she started feeding him tons of herbs & kratom. She’s all over youtube right now. Her husband is now in a coma.
I'm pretty sure it was after, and he is currently in a coma
"We're about to go live eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Okay Flipper calm down
🤣🤣🤣
For people that talk so much about "residual income" and "retiring their husbands", they sure have to have a lot of these culty zoom meetings....
Residual income only if the company exists and doesn’t go belly up
It's really sad that these girls are under Andrea who's supposedly high up but they're mostly "Director" rank which is $100-$300 per month not including costs... yikes.
Wow!😳🙄 I didn't realize that Paparazzi was an MLM until I watched your and Hannah Alonzo's Anti-MLM videos! (Subscribed to both within the last few months...) THANKS! 😁
How sad for the countless folks who feel that they joined MLM's thinking that the recruiters, etc. were their new friends. Yeah...until the folks leave the MLM...then blocked. ☹️💔
Not to be dramatic but if that woman screams one more time, I’m going to end my life 🤬
😂🤣🤣
😂😂
Imagine being her husband and feeling the exact same way
😂😂😂💀💀💀
Bruhhhhh lol this comment didn't age well!!!
I'm just so distracted by Jessica's fake lashes, I can't even see her eyes they are so heavy! Poor girl 🙈
I am young and a caregiver of my husband who had a stroke 11 years ago. I work for myself as an Online Business Manager and Podcaster and all of my clients know what's going on so when we have to take him to the hospital, it's not a problem. I still get paid and have the ability to do my support when I can. Having to be on lives and constantly pushing to desperately get other people to join my pyramid scheme....this is horrific. :(
Is it just me, or would this not be our usual CC Suarez video without King Wiggum epically snoring in the backgroud? LOL.
Thank YOU Chelsea for bringing humour ,facts and reality to this subject. There are over thousands of legit small businesses and free groups to join ,Savy writes books has and independent business FB page FREE! You can get a connection with some customers without being in an MLM. I know this because my husband owns two small businesses! It's so scary how they think am MLM is the only way . But it's NOT!!! Please keep up the good fight Chelsea! Please give Mr W a hug from me.
“And that’s on Mary had a little lamb” stoppp! 😂😂 I died of laughter
This is so fucking wild. She’s wild af!! Like was she not like super mellow and chill in the last video and now she’s gangsta 😂😂 I can’t with these “leaders”
Also thank you for the shout out ❤️
I am obsessed with my husband in the clingiest of ways, but if we both worked from home, let alone in the same business, I would lose my freaking mind. You have to have a chance to miss your significant other and you need to have your own identity apart from your marriage, kids, etc. The idea of "retiring a husband" is crazy to me. I want my man out there doing big things and feeling empowered, not at home just being my cheerleader. Side note, we don't have kids so maybe that makes a difference, but still.
The more of these I watch the more I realize why I failed at MLMs. I am just like "...and your point is? Are we ever going to start the meeting? How do I actually sell this, I am in college and only ever had a job in my-going-to-college-for-field?" I didn't want a family, I had one....I wanted money!
I love ur videos and adore ur style. I often wondered if these crazy people believe what they preach bc it so occultish and they are not making the money. Bless u for educating people on these life destroying MLMs. Am screaming at the screen.. It's junk jewelry ur trying to sell ! Good grief 🤦🏼♀️
Lol I'm so glad I don't have to pray with my coworkers when we have IT issues at work.
Lmao 🤣🤣 idk why but this made me laugh, thinking of like a group prayer for IT problems
CC IM New here but lv been around. YOUR TAKE is GREAT!! LOVE IT!
There’s a black car salesmen who went viral on TikTok for “we’re where the what? where the money resides…. And that’s on Mary had a little lamb.” He got it trademarked before people could make money off his fame.
oh my god. I love that for him
Your channel has been my safe place recently! I Love it !!
🤍🤍🤍
The fact that so many of these women straight up said that this isn't about the jewellery and that it could go away tomorrow, but they'd still be a team gives me WFABB vibes. I could see the same sort of thing happening with these women.
Yaaaaay CCSUAREZ New Video ! Love watching these before bed 🛌
Omg I just saw it’s a longgggg one! Needed this tonight lol
I’m so glad I’ve always been kinda aware that MLMs are problematic. I can see how this one could’ve lured me in with all the FOMO they push. Now that I’ve been fully anti-MLM I’m just so sad for everybody involved and so angry at the people at the top.
