That but also it’s a cult manipulation tactic as well. You have to believe that these products are a life-changing that you have a solution to a problem and that you can offer this amazing opportunity that will solve peoples financial issues. They push us so much so that their distributors will basically be brainwashed into staying in the MLM. I’m going to go over this in one of my next videos, The training video that I snuck into tonight was very very messy and Culty
It’s such a sin in the video of the girl who is crying that she doesn’t realize this isn’t normal. Like the fact that she’s “so close to hitting the next rank” yet she’s SO upset?? If you’re that close to a promotion it should be a happy thing. And having to rely on other people for your promotion sucks. Like at a regular job, you get promoted based on YOUR performance. No one can take that away from you, and it’s up to you how you work to get the promotion.
Exactly! and if someone more qualified gets the position over you.... that's how life works. Always ask for feedback and how you can do better, do better then try again.
It really gets me when they call themselves “business owners,” because I could buy stuff from Dollar Tree and sell it out of my car and call myself an owner of Dollar Tree according to their logic. 😆
LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!!!! I’ve lost a couple of friends to MLMs and to this day, they think I should’ve “supported” them more and bought things from them to help them out. I tried being nice and saying no, but hanging out with them made me feel like I was in a constant state of recruitment and being sold to. They have since quit but still have the mindset of that of a hunbot. Love you Chelsea!
I completely understand every word of what you’re saying. My friend went a step further, and went completely psychotic on me because I posted a product that tasted good that had nothing to do with her MLM and she went insane. The things she wrote on my public social media were horrifying, and to this day, I can’t even look at her. We will never speak again. She has lost her ever loving mind. Probably the worst encounter I’ve ever had with any type of friend. Straight razor blades. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
@32:20 I don’t think the comparison to an abusive/controlling relationship was a reach at all... that’s EXACTLY what these people defending and pumping up MLMs are doing. She’s simultaneously complaining about how stressed her MLM is making her and trying to sell the “amazing opportunity” to whoever will listen.
"A lot of people don't realize revenue is different from profit." Multiple people in my life are in MLMs and you just hit the nail on the head. Preach!
So glad I found your channel. Me and my mom got really into the Chris Watts Murders and Shanann was in Thrive. She posted everyday about her MLM and portrayed this amazing luxury lifestyle. After she was murdered we got a peak into her finances and they were dead broke. She was buying thrive for her downline and herself. She had thousands of dollars of that stuff stocked in her basement. They were about to lose everything because of Thrive, so sad. Chelsea you should do a Shanann Thrive video : )
Thaaaaaank you for mentioning at the end the fact that regular 9 to 5 jobs most often offer health insurance and retirement, etc! I lost my job in February and have been paying for my insurance out of pocket through the COBRA program, paying $583/month. Why would anyone want to pay for their own health insurance when you could find an employer who pays either the majority of or the full cost of your health insurance?! Like what? 🤔
ANNDDDDDD they take out taxes already so that you really dont have to try to figure all that shit out. 90% of these girls arent saving 30% of their money to put towards tax payments.
That poor girl reduced to tears by how much her family love and are desperately trying to reach her😭 It's so much like cult followers, I can't see how there is any difference at this point
I used to be a serial MLMer. The I saw the light. I did just what u said. I volunteer and joined a local red hat group. And I joined local Lions club. I have friends who r real friends not because I’m making them rich but because I’m just me. 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve been watching your videos for like 2 weeks now and I can’t stop 🤣 I was roped into an MLM once when I was 18...nearly 26 now and seeing Monat Huns popping up in my town. I went out of my way to post on my Facebook timeline “I DO NOT WANT TO JOIN YOUR PYRAMID SCHEME” but that doesn’t even stop them 😅 definitely going to send in my horror story
You’ve ruined my life😂😂 I now binge hours of long mlm videos too when I’m waiting for yours and my sister asks me why I’m watching people crying cus I’ve been watching like the power hour videos and babe that shits crazy you should react to some of them
If I saw this and then was approached to be in this business id be like wtf!!! Also it's so weird when they switch between "owning a business" and "being a part of this company " those are different things
My main issue is how she defines “support” - when she says only a few family members buy from her - so she means “support her” = “buy from her” which is NOT the same thing. Yes, this is incredibly sad that she’s so brainwashed that she thinks that’s the definition. No one in any other industry expects their friends and family to make the business successful except MLMs. The uplines convince you that your friends and family owe you their money and business and that’s what “support” means. Also: don’t they pitch the “opportunity” as flexible so they can put their kids, pets, whatever first? Yet, for this girl, for who it seems religious volunteer work is a priority, is saying point-blank that she has to miss volunteering because she has to work. So sad and also so frustrating.
If a job, any job, makes you drown in your tears like that, that’s the BIGGEST red flag and you gotta leave ASAP. NO ONE should be so miserable and stressed in a job they “love”, no one.
While I love most of the anti-mlm creators out here many of them don't actually have traditional full time jobs and there's nothing wrong with that. I love the fact that you are able to bring a true and positive perspective when comparing the benefits of a full time job to mlm. I have a full time, corporate job and I find many of the hun's arguments against working a 9-5 insane and completely outrageous.
Of course! I've love to say I work a '9-5' schedule but I typically alternate throughout the week, 8-430pm and 1pm-930pm so that I can handle my west coast clients too. I think alot of the other antiMLM creators are younger than me so maybe thats why they don't have 'typical' fulltime/corp jobs.
She DID say later on in the video that just because someone doesn’t buy from her doesn’t mean they don’t support her so she did clarify that. But I think it’s clear that only a few people buy from her and her family doesn’t support her given the context of the whole story, and how she came home from Thanksgiving dinner crying. But I do understand your point it is crazy when people are expecting their family and friends to buy from them. For example I sell Botox and other treatments like that... my mom and my sister in law/bestfriend both get their treatments done somewhere else, i’m not mad about it. I’ve even gone somewhere else to get my lips done lol.
I found out about this video through a top fails video and had to run over. I love how there’s still so many videos I have yet to see. It’s always exciting to find
@@CindyTemple it’s cringe because you’re just being taxed as a business, yet you’re not actually a business owner. Being an independent contractor does not a business owner make- it’s explicitly written in all their contracts yet these scammers like to try the whole 1099 thing as evidence that they ARE business owners- which is completely false.
I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been in an abusive relationship, I went to therapy, I’ve studied psychology and such in college, I’ve studied all this in my personal time as well, I do think that makes me pretty informed and educated and I can see things others may not and much quicker but again I’m not a Dr or a psychiatrist.
New sub today. I love your channel. When I was in my mid 20's my husband and I were recruited to join an MLM. Hubs had lost his job and the pitch of owning your own business interested him (not me). I didn't see it. I enjoyed my job and spending time with friends on weekends. Our marriage was crumbling with the continuous arguing over my lack of participation and believing. He finally got out of it once we moved out of state. We brought a huge "business" loan with us to pay off, thanks to his sponsor's brainwashing. It was a cult and scheme.
CC, and anyone else, How do you try to get your family back if they’re down the rabbit hole of MLM companies, along with them being anti vaxxer, anti lockdown, anti masker, and pro thumper? Time? Distance? I just found your channel today, and you are all the things you called yourself in the beginning of your video, so you rock! Clear, concise, hilarious and yes, SPICY! So any advice from anyone would be appreciated!
thats tough. when someone believes so deeply in something to the point where they deny red flags and facts...it could completely end your relationship if you address it. I'd say not to engaged when those topics are brought up, be patient and just keep loving them. set boundaries though to protect yourself and your mental health.
@@IAMCCSuarez thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s also helped me understand that she’s just being manipulated to give up her family. Brainwashing is no joke. You should consider doing an interview with people who have lost fam down the rabbit hole and with someone who got out of an MLM to explain why they chose that route over fam and friends. You’re helping!
Girl YOU are amazing. Love your videos. I joined Monat at one point and it took me hardly no time to realize that it was nonsense. Also very mediocre products, made literally no difference in my hair and SO expensive like wow . Keep it up tho, we love it!
This is crazy!! When I was in college our public speaking professor would count the times we used filler words and take points off. Needless to say it stopped me from doing it but when I hear it when others present and they use filler words… it’s like nails on a chalkboard.
Oh my gosh! My husband and I must be millionaires! We’ve earned a million dollars over the last three years! Guess we can retire 🤔. Wait... what about the statistics that people pay out about 70% of their earnings for bills, consumables, necessities and leisure activities? Also 🤔
Gahhhh you’re so beautiful!! Thank you so so much for spreading the word in a captivating way about how horrible these scams are. I fell for one a few years ago and they brainwash you! It’s very scary.
I’m so glad I found your channel!! I am a Kiki Chanel fan and one of her videos mentioned you and said to check you out for Monat videos because you do such a good job picking apart the lies with cold hard facts! I’m a cosmetologist and was contacted by a friend from middle/high school about joining Monat about a year ago and I had a yucky feeling about it… so glad I listened to my gut!!! Still I had no idea that they were as bad as they are, I was legit so pissed my old friend came at me with that hot garbage “opportunity”… I checked her socials out to see what she’s been up to lately and it seems like she is backing off from the business big time, and all of her posts know mostly revolve around her new baby, but she is one who had the car, was able to build a house with her husband, and able to start her own salon all because of Monat (so she claimed…🤷🏼♀️ who knows maybe maybe not) but back then that almost railed me in. Thank God my husband sense into me when I told him about it n he basically told me that is a scam that’s too good to be true so I came to the conclusion of absolutely not lol I love him so much for that lol She still has posts every so often but NOWHERE NEAR how she used to post nothing but hey hun posts 10 times a day, so I’m hoping that means she’s slowly backing out, but I will keep checking to find out for sure. Thank you so much for what you do, you and some other girls that I follow like Kylie are such amazing sources for everyone who is in an MLM or wants to leave one etc… stay spicy!🌶️
@@IAMCCSuarez I will go back into my playlist I have saved because I’m pretty sure I saved that video in my playlist so I’ll find it and comment the link 😊
I always just want to ask these people who they think cuts their checks. Spoiler: it is someone who works a 9-5 and probably makes more per year than them.
You deserved the 15 k subscribers you were seeking in this video. Now you are sooooo close to 50k. So excited for you. Won't belong till you hit 1 million!
Awww this popped up on my suggested so I’m watching it again. Hearing you say you have 13k in this and now have over 60k 1 year later!!! So freaking proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello again beautiful lady. one thing that keeps me awake at night,is what the shares of the Monat Emerging Founder's Shares are actually worth. To hear the huns all last night going into a frenzy talking about the shares and untold wealth,all to lure people into joining with the mlm.this year no one is talking about how much wealth they are accumulating. enquiring minds want to know.
RIGHT??? They were all about it this time last year and at the beginning of the year and now its silent. b/c I think they didnt understand what it actually was
Every time they say they run their own business I just laugh! Like you said a 1099 form is for contractors and anyone labeled as self-employed 😂 One reason they think this insanity is because MLM’s like Beachbody charge a “business fee”. As I was cancelling my subscription with them I noticed this business fee charge 😂
Hey all! New sub here. 😃 Came here because mlmbossbabe had one of your videos in her Instagram stories - Unhinged Monat Hun Harassed Me. And I just had to watch! One of my friends is in Monat and tried countless times to get me to join. It almost got to the point where I had to “yell” at her (via text) to shut up about it and stop asking me or else I was gonna stop talking to her altogether. Now I’ve been binging all your anti-mom content and I can’t stop watching. The girl in this video seriously breaks my heart. This proves what Kiki Chanel says in her videos all the time... that MLMs purposely prey on vulnerable people, mostly women. This girl is so young and clearly hasn’t learned how to stand up for herself and say no to people. She’s mentally and emotionally fragile and because of that her upline has convinced her that her friends and family are against her!!! So sad. This girl needs her family and therapy!
I always think to myself, if this was really about the product (which I know it’s not, but let’s pretend that it is) why would you want to recruit people at all? I mean, being the only one who sells this amazing product would surely bring in more money than having thousands and thousands of competitors. That’s why patents exist, right? If you’re the only one selling a life-changing product, people will have to buy it from you if they want it at all, you can set the price and you will not have any competitors. Why would you want more competitors if it was all about selling the products? Being the only seller in your area would be great!
I'm a chronic "um"-er as well due to my anxiety. I only passed my (required 🙄) public speaking course because I wrote/constructed decent speeches, not because I delivered them well ;__;
Had a friend that was targeted for a MLM scam. Thankfully he was clearly much smarter then the guy who attempted to get him onboard. So he was able to avoid the pyramid scheme. We straight recorded the guy & his pitch. Was awful to see the level of manipulation & dishonestly. All for 5-6k per year. We almost felt sorry for the guy & felt like he was manipulated into it. I found your vids when looking into the scams. Thanks for all you do informing the world in order to combat the scammers.
Im trying to compile information about monat for my friend who fell in their trap! Thank you so much for a well put video and getting the message across! Also the stuff you're putting in your hair is what I use too!!! You're hair is looking amazing! Better product than monat will ever have!
My friend joined Monat and it's been hard on our relationship. A lot of her friends, including me, tried the product samples and didn't like the results. So not only is the company bad, the products are awful too. I'm trying to get her out, she's wasting so much time and she isn't making a profit. It's been 9 months and she didn't make any money
"It's so easy anyone can do it! You can do it on the couch in your pajamas. Join us, we will change your life." "😞😢😭 this business is so hard, so so so hard. It ruined Thanksgiving because my family kept calling it a pyramid scheme. You have to be a particular person to be a network marketer."
It’s life changing because you lose your friends and family. Supporting you does NOT mean your friends and family are obligated to buy from you! They don’t have to support you by buying your products. They blocked you or whatever because they’re not interested in your products and they’re probably tired of being harassed about it. Your family is trying to help you by being honest with you, if they didn’t care they’d say nothing.
I found you last night and was pretty happy to see a new video today after binging the rest. The random shit you do when the girls are talking is honesty hilarious. It like adds to the fact and they’re spewing horseshit out of their mouths. (And cheersing to who knows what?😂)
I almost feel this poor girl has posted this as a cry for help! I hope someone who loves her, steps in, replays her own clip to her and gets some sense into what she’s doing to her self. So sad. Thank you for highlighting how far these companies will take someone to.
One of my sweetest cousins got sucked into Monat and it tears my heart. Her replies to me explaining why she joined Monat: “I haven’t lost any money and I won’t. I don’t have to pay anything. Monthly or anything at all 🥰 this is why I love it. I only payed 199$ to sign up and I got a bunch of amazing products to go with it, the products that I was already buying anyway so it’s a plus for me. That’s the only thing I will have to pay unlike other companies out there. The products are amazing too, helped my hair so much and so many people out there. Plus I’ve already got back pretty much what I payed for to begin with so it’s so worth it 💕. The videos of haters on UA-cam you will find on everything that’s why I don’t even watch them. I’m not paying anything, and all I’m doing is sharing a product that I love with people to help with their hair needs and problems, like for example I had my best friend try it and her hair got so much healthier and actually started seeing hair growth when no other products she wasted so much money on would help her. So why not share something that actually helps people and they’re so grateful to you for that at the end. Sorry I don’t see it. I understand why other companies out there might be like that, I had people cold message me on Instagram with other stuff this is not how I found this product, I found it through a friend that was using it and loving it. Also I understand the companies that make you pay like a monthly fee so that makes sense your spending money but I’m not so this makes sense to me.” I’m having a hard time supporting her but she’s my cousin and love her. How can I help her? Thank you!
Hi! I’m so sorry she got sucked in! How long has she been In? Has she recruited anyone yet and what rank is she at? Also how old is she? It sounds like she is pretty blinded already. It’s weird that she seems stuck on the whole “monthly fee” thing. If you are styling your hair and actually using a system of products then YES your hair is going to look better than if you aren’t. But no hair product that you are using on the outside of your body is going to make your hair grow longer or thicker. Just be there for her. Don’t buy any products from her. And let her know you aren’t being negative or you aren’t saying that she is lesser than or not capable of being successful, you just know the facts, and you love her so much that you don’t want her to be manipulated
@@IAMCCSuarez haven’t asked her too much but I think she just started not too long ago. She’s a very shy person and usually never posts things on her IG stories or profile...recently she started and I was surprised...but then I find out it’s because she needs to promote the product 🤦🏼♀️ just looks so cringe. Told her I’d support her but won’t buy her products. She understands...just wish she hadn’t been sucked into it! I’ll be there for her when it all crumbles down...ah I hate these MLM companies who pry on the vulnerable and stay home mamas. I was in one 10 years ago and never looked back! (Binge watching your videos and love it!) keep it up girlie!
@@TheJungaloo yea doesn’t make sense right?! I found out that all that she wrote to me is exact wording they ALL use to write to someone who questions them…so all that wasn’t her. She copied and pasted!
Buy a product pack and your a business owner ?!!!!! WHATTTTTT literally what. T. F. That’s crazy. I went through hell trying to figure out how to fill out a sellers permit and business license
“Only a few of my family members buy from me” ?!???! GIRL. I have a jewelry company and I neverrr expect any of my friends or family members to buy from me. I felt bad for her until that.. she’s a cry baby. Sorry. I bet her family probably wanted a nice thanksgiving and she started guilting them into buying from her so she could reach a new rank before the month ended.
shes been stuck at the same level in the MLM for over a year now. You'd think shed start to understand that its a scam. its sadfishing. she posts these types of videos so that her team under her will work harder FOR her.
I love your approach to these videos! I found you last night and have been binging your videos. Your energy and commentary is fucking hysterical. Thank you for the entertainment. 🥰
It’s sad that you’re depending on people to be promoted. In a normal company promotion is based on YOUR work alone. MLM’s are simply legal pyramid schemes because they’re selling a product, but it’s still a pyramid scheme. It’s not a stigma, it’s facts and truth and there’s plenty of history and facts to back it up.
Omg I remember my secondary school match teacher who used to be and still is involved with mlms. Starting with avon and oriflame, catalogs on her desk, (I think she was trying to lure us into that). Now she is showing her family (who used to be my girlfriend/bestie) a 5000k blender and her whole apartment was filled with brain food drinks because she couldn't sell it to anyone else so she gave it for free.
"this is teaching me someting, i don't know what it is" omg i've said that to myself when i was 2 years in MLM. i've been struggling mentally and physicaly but i thought life was just teaching me a lesson to "never give up" only to realize years after that i've been in a cult. omg 🥶
Damn! I do Jewelry Appraisal as a hobby. Getting my Business License, me Wholesale and Resale Permits were such a pain in the ass. I have to do quarterly taxes. But at least I make some pocket money.
One of my close friends got into Monat recently. She initially told me she tried the products and liked them, and she joined as a distributor for the discounts. Surprise surprise, she has now made a Facebook page and added people. I tried to talk to her about how awful MLMs were before, and the lawsuits against Monat. But she had already fallen too deep.
As someone who uses 100% natural products to wash my hair like rye flour or shikakai I am so confused by Monate huns pushing their shampoo as the most natural option, when it is so obviously not.
Whenever I watch your videos I always get ads for things that seem like pyramid schemes (I say 'seem like' because they never include the name of the 'business' in their ads or websites) and they're all so sketchy-
@20:00 the reason they think pins and $100 bonus and social media shout outs are a big deal is because, as you’ve said before, they’re recruiting people who worked retail and food industry where there are 0 rewards, incentives, or bonuses. I’ve worked for the #2 auto insurer in the country for 9 years and our sales people win cruises, ATVs, their bonuses above a certain # per month of sales is wild. But most of these folks never had those corporate jobs to see anything beyond retail compensation
Who wants to not do something "fun" cause they are working. Like seriously why are you excited about working.. We all have many times had to work holidays, or overtime but nothing we wanted to do. Also when I go on vacation I have nothing to do with work. Why would you want to work from vacation?
The little rewards remind me of when an abuser is nice and it becomes addicting.
I knew you'd find this interesting lol
@@IAMCCSuarez I promise you my story is coming. I’ve just got 5 kids and it’s been partially done for a month.
Oh girl I know you have a lot going on
I shouldn’t laugh but TRUTH 😂🥴
Felt that.
“These products are life changing” no no no winning the lottery is life changing lol not shampoo
yes girl!
I just realized how absolutely privileged that concept actually is... it’s life changing that their hair looks shinier? huh?
That but also it’s a cult manipulation tactic as well. You have to believe that these products are a life-changing that you have a solution to a problem and that you can offer this amazing opportunity that will solve peoples financial issues. They push us so much so that their distributors will basically be brainwashed into staying in the MLM. I’m going to go over this in one of my next videos, The training video that I snuck into tonight was very very messy and Culty
😭😭😭
I’m so sick of hearing this one ! How the hell is shampoo life changing like how do they not see past that line ? It just sounds stupid

"This is not a pyramid scheme"...proceeds to describe a pyramid scheme 🤦♀️
That was a 'big yikes' moment for sure
It's like that Michael's Scott scene that he draws the pyramid 🤣🤣
It really gets me when they call themselves “business owners,” because I could buy stuff from Dollar Tree and sell it out of my car and call myself an owner of Dollar Tree according to their logic. 😆
It's like they are children playing at being business owners

She had thousands of dollars of that stuff stocked in her basement. They were about to lose everything because of Thrive, so sad. Chelsea you should do a Shanann Thrive video : )

Buying their products, signing up for it. Also, not supporting her means telling her to get out of the MLM
@@trashketchup1497 exactly, its so sad
I feel so bad for this girl - it’s gonna be so much harder to leave the cult if she keeps losing her outside support network
I agree. its so sad. But, thats just another tactic they use to keep 'em.

If I saw this and then was approached to be in this business id be like wtf!!! Also it's so weird when they switch between "owning a business" and "being a part of this company " those are different things
My main issue is how she defines “support” - when she says only a few family members buy from her - so she means “support her” = “buy from her” which is NOT the same thing. Yes, this is incredibly sad that she’s so brainwashed that she thinks that’s the definition. No one in any other industry expects their friends and family to make the business successful except MLMs. The uplines convince you that your friends and family owe you their money and business and that’s what “support” means.
Also: don’t they pitch the “opportunity” as flexible so they can put their kids, pets, whatever first? Yet, for this girl, for who it seems religious volunteer work is a priority, is saying point-blank that she has to miss volunteering because she has to work. So sad and also so frustrating.
That sucks so much that her mlm has made her think that her friends not buying from her, is equal to her friends not supporting her.
If a job, any job, makes you drown in your tears like that, that’s the BIGGEST red flag and you gotta leave ASAP. NO ONE should be so miserable and stressed in a job they “love”, no one.
IF ITS COSTING YOU ALL THIS!! IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE
While I love most of the anti-mlm creators out here many of them don't actually have traditional full time jobs and there's nothing wrong with that. I love the fact that you are able to bring a true and positive perspective when comparing the benefits of a full time job to mlm. I have a full time, corporate job and I find many of the hun's arguments against working a 9-5 insane and completely outrageous.
Of course! I've love to say I work a '9-5' schedule but I typically alternate throughout the week, 8-430pm and 1pm-930pm so that I can handle my west coast clients too. I think alot of the other antiMLM creators are younger than me so maybe thats why they don't have 'typical' fulltime/corp jobs.
Eh, are friends and family OBLIGATED to buy from MLM'ers? The delusion and entitlement is real...
She DID say later on in the video that just because someone doesn’t buy from her doesn’t mean they don’t support her so she did clarify that. But I think it’s clear that only a few people buy from her and her family doesn’t support her given the context of the whole story, and how she came home from Thanksgiving dinner crying. But I do understand your point it is crazy when people are expecting their family and friends to buy from them. For example I sell Botox and other treatments like that... my mom and my sister in law/bestfriend both get their treatments done somewhere else, i’m not mad about it. I’ve even gone somewhere else to get my lips done lol.
Im pretty shooked that monat is in my country (Poland) and i hate that mlms trying to find new "boss babes" here.
Spread the word then!!
I found out about this video through a top fails video and had to run over. I love how there’s still so many videos I have yet to see. It’s always exciting to find
“I get a 1099 at the end of the year that is a business owners...” Oh nooooooooo honey 🤭 as someone who works in HR I can’t help but cringe
Girl.... it’s so sad. I just screenshotted a bunch of shit from her IG stories lol. She is still soooo misinformed
People with 1099 have to use schedule C and can claim business expenses. So why cringe at that?
@@CindyTemple it’s cringe because you’re just being taxed as a business, yet you’re not actually a business owner. Being an independent contractor does not a business owner make- it’s explicitly written in all their contracts yet these scammers like to try the whole 1099 thing as evidence that they ARE business owners- which is completely false.
I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been in an abusive relationship, I went to therapy, I’ve studied psychology and such in college, I’ve studied all this in my personal time as well, I do think that makes me pretty informed and educated and I can see things others may not and much quicker but again I’m not a Dr or a psychiatrist.
The fact that I keep getting “pro” network marketing ads in the front of all your videos HAUNTS ME lololol
This kills me. I really need to block them
The crying girl is just ridiculous. So brainwashed. So sad. But like come on…
New sub today. I love your channel. When I was in my mid 20's my husband and I were recruited to join an MLM. Hubs had lost his job and the pitch of owning your own business interested him (not me). I didn't see it. I enjoyed my job and spending time with friends on weekends. Our marriage was crumbling with the continuous arguing over my lack of participation and believing. He finally got out of it once we moved out of state. We brought a huge "business" loan with us to pay off, thanks to his sponsor's brainwashing. It was a cult and scheme.
oh no!!! I'm so sorry
CC, and anyone else, How do you try to get your family back if they’re down the rabbit hole of MLM companies, along with them being anti vaxxer, anti lockdown, anti masker, and pro thumper? Time? Distance? I just found your channel today, and you are all the things you called yourself in the beginning of your video, so you rock! Clear, concise, hilarious and yes, SPICY! So any advice from anyone would be appreciated!
thats tough. when someone believes so deeply in something to the point where they deny red flags and facts...it could completely end your relationship if you address it. I'd say not to engaged when those topics are brought up, be patient and just keep loving them. set boundaries though to protect yourself and your mental health.
@@IAMCCSuarez thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s also helped me understand that she’s just being manipulated to give up her family. Brainwashing is no joke. You should consider doing an interview with people who have lost fam down the rabbit hole and with someone who got out of an MLM to explain why they chose that route over fam and friends. You’re helping!
Girl YOU are amazing. Love your videos. I joined Monat at one point and it took me hardly no time to realize that it was nonsense. Also very mediocre products, made literally no difference in my hair and SO expensive like wow . Keep it up tho, we love it!
This is crazy!! When I was in college our public speaking professor would count the times we used filler words and take points off. Needless to say it stopped me from doing it but when I hear it when others present and they use filler words… it’s like nails on a chalkboard.
All I have to say WOW. This girl is beyond brainwashed. I hope she realizes it soon.
Lol nope she’s still going hardddd
Oh my gosh! My husband and I must be millionaires! We’ve earned a million dollars over the last three years! Guess we can retire 🤔. Wait... what about the statistics that people pay out about 70% of their earnings for bills, consumables, necessities and leisure activities? Also 🤔
LOLLLL oh the boss babe math just doesnt work does it? lol
Gahhhh you’re so beautiful!! Thank you so so much for spreading the word in a captivating way about how horrible these scams are. I fell for one a few years ago and they brainwash you! It’s very scary.
I’m so glad I found your channel!! I am a Kiki Chanel fan and one of her videos mentioned you and said to check you out for Monat videos because you do such a good job picking apart the lies with cold hard facts! I’m a cosmetologist and was contacted by a friend from middle/high school about joining Monat about a year ago and I had a yucky feeling about it… so glad I listened to my gut!!! Still I had no idea that they were as bad as they are, I was legit so pissed my old friend came at me with that hot garbage “opportunity”… I checked her socials out to see what she’s been up to lately and it seems like she is backing off from the business big time, and all of her posts know mostly revolve around her new baby, but she is one who had the car, was able to build a house with her husband, and able to start her own salon all because of Monat (so she claimed…🤷🏼♀️ who knows maybe maybe not) but back then that almost railed me in. Thank God my husband sense into me when I told him about it n he basically told me that is a scam that’s too good to be true so I came to the conclusion of absolutely not lol I love him so much for that lol She still has posts every so often but NOWHERE NEAR how she used to post nothing but hey hun posts 10 times a day, so I’m hoping that means she’s slowly backing out, but I will keep checking to find out for sure. Thank you so much for what you do, you and some other girls that I follow like Kylie are such amazing sources for everyone who is in an MLM or wants to leave one etc… stay spicy!🌶️
Do you remember what video it was?? I’ve never heard that Kiki mentioned me. Thank you for letting me know
@@IAMCCSuarez I will go back into my playlist I have saved because I’m pretty sure I saved that video in my playlist so I’ll find it and comment the link 😊
Thank you!
I'm binge watching a year later and you are over 52K!!!! Your content is great & you are rocking it!!!!
Thanks so much!!
"You're right, that's crazy.. cause it's not accurate"😂
LOL I meaaaaaannnn
I almost spit my drink out 🤣
I always just want to ask these people who they think cuts their checks. Spoiler: it is someone who works a 9-5 and probably makes more per year than them.
Truth
You deserved the 15 k subscribers you were seeking in this video. Now you are sooooo close to 50k. So excited for you. Won't belong till you hit 1 million!
Thank you so much!!
You looked sooo gorg in that black shirt! 😍😍 Laughed so hard when you literally changed into a sweater! 😂 So mee tooo... lol
Ahhahahha the Moira comment just made my day , as soon as you started talking about the Crows I had a mental image of Moira in her crow movie 😅😅😅😂
BOOP!
I'm loving your decor in the background 😍
Awww this popped up on my suggested so I’m watching it again. Hearing you say you have 13k in this and now have over 60k 1 year later!!! So freaking proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou!!!
Omg that hoodie. Red is my absolute favorite color. I NEED IT. ♨️🔥
Hello again beautiful lady. one thing that keeps me awake at night,is what the shares of the Monat Emerging Founder's Shares are actually worth. To hear the huns all last night going into a frenzy talking about the shares and untold wealth,all to lure people into joining with the mlm.this year no one is talking about how much wealth they are accumulating. enquiring minds want to know.
RIGHT??? They were all about it this time last year and at the beginning of the year and now its silent. b/c I think they didnt understand what it actually was
Every time they say they run their own business I just laugh! Like you said a 1099 form is for contractors and anyone labeled as self-employed 😂 One reason they think this insanity is because MLM’s like Beachbody charge a “business fee”. As I was cancelling my subscription with them I noticed this business fee charge 😂
Hey all! New sub here. 😃
Came here because mlmbossbabe had one of your videos in her Instagram stories - Unhinged Monat Hun Harassed Me. And I just had to watch! One of my friends is in Monat and tried countless times to get me to join. It almost got to the point where I had to “yell” at her (via text) to shut up about it and stop asking me or else I was gonna stop talking to her altogether.
Now I’ve been binging all your anti-mom content and I can’t stop watching.
The girl in this video seriously breaks my heart. This proves what Kiki Chanel says in her videos all the time... that MLMs purposely prey on vulnerable people, mostly women. This girl is so young and clearly hasn’t learned how to stand up for herself and say no to people. She’s mentally and emotionally fragile and because of that her upline has convinced her that her friends and family are against her!!! So sad. This girl needs her family and therapy!
Welcome girl! Yes this is all very culty!
I always think to myself, if this was really about the product (which I know it’s not, but let’s pretend that it is) why would you want to recruit people at all? I mean, being the only one who sells this amazing product would surely bring in more money than having thousands and thousands of competitors. That’s why patents exist, right? If you’re the only one selling a life-changing product, people will have to buy it from you if they want it at all, you can set the price and you will not have any competitors. Why would you want more competitors if it was all about selling the products? Being the only seller in your area would be great!
I'm a chronic "um"-er as well due to my anxiety. I only passed my (required 🙄) public speaking course because I wrote/constructed decent speeches, not because I delivered them well ;__;
Had a friend that was targeted for a MLM scam. Thankfully he was clearly much smarter then the guy who attempted to get him onboard. So he was able to avoid the pyramid scheme. We straight recorded the guy & his pitch. Was awful to see the level of manipulation & dishonestly. All for 5-6k per year. We almost felt sorry for the guy & felt like he was manipulated into it. I found your vids when looking into the scams. Thanks for all you do informing the world in order to combat the scammers.
You’re literally the best! I’m addicted to your channel now 😂 but seriously you’re gonna save lives with these anti-mlm videos
OMG thats so nice lol thank you!!!!
Im trying to compile information about monat for my friend who fell in their trap! Thank you so much for a well put video and getting the message across! Also the stuff you're putting in your hair is what I use too!!! You're hair is looking amazing! Better product than monat will ever have!
Update on this? I’m debating presenting info to my friend but I don’t know if I wanna open that can of worms
My friend joined Monat and it's been hard on our relationship. A lot of her friends, including me, tried the product samples and didn't like the results. So not only is the company bad, the products are awful too. I'm trying to get her out, she's wasting so much time and she isn't making a profit. It's been 9 months and she didn't make any money
New sub here! Love how you're just nonchalantly combing your hair and applying lip gloss lol. Bingeing your content!
"It's so easy anyone can do it! You can do it on the couch in your pajamas. Join us, we will change your life." "😞😢😭 this business is so hard, so so so hard. It ruined Thanksgiving because my family kept calling it a pyramid scheme. You have to be a particular person to be a network marketer."
THIS IS WHY ITS A SCAMMMMM
Spreading misinformation faster than corona😂😂😂😂
It’s life changing because you lose your friends and family. Supporting you does NOT mean your friends and family are obligated to buy from you! They don’t have to support you by buying your products. They blocked you or whatever because they’re not interested in your products and they’re probably tired of being harassed about it. Your family is trying to help you by being honest with you, if they didn’t care they’d say nothing.
I found you last night and was pretty happy to see a new video today after binging the rest. The random shit you do when the girls are talking is honesty hilarious. It like adds to the fact and they’re spewing horseshit out of their mouths. (And cheersing to who knows what?😂)
Lol!!! I try to just sit and watch but it’s impossible
I almost feel this poor girl has posted this as a cry for help! I hope someone who loves her, steps in, replays her own clip to her and gets some sense into what she’s doing to her self. So sad. Thank you for highlighting how far these companies will take someone to.
She’s such a sweet girl too. It makes me so sad. But nope, she’s in WAY too deep. She hit Market Mentor (caddy rank) right after this
One of my sweetest cousins got sucked into Monat and it tears my heart. Her replies to me explaining why she joined Monat: “I haven’t lost any money and I won’t. I don’t have to pay anything. Monthly or anything at all 🥰 this is why I love it. I only payed 199$ to sign up and I got a bunch of amazing products to go with it, the products that I was already buying anyway so it’s a plus for me. That’s the only thing I will have to pay unlike other companies out there. The products are amazing too, helped my hair so much and so many people out there. Plus I’ve already got back pretty much what I payed for to begin with so it’s so worth it 💕. The videos of haters on UA-cam you will find on everything that’s why I don’t even watch them. I’m not paying anything, and all I’m doing is sharing a product that I love with people to help with their hair needs and problems, like for example I had my best friend try it and her hair got so much healthier and actually started seeing hair growth when no other products she wasted so much money on would help her. So why not share something that actually helps people and they’re so grateful to you for that at the end. Sorry I don’t see it. I understand why other companies out there might be like that, I had people cold message me on Instagram with other stuff this is not how I found this product, I found it through a friend that was using it and loving it. Also I understand the companies that make you pay like a monthly fee so that makes sense your spending money but I’m not so this makes sense to me.”
I’m having a hard time supporting her but she’s my cousin and love her. How can I help her? Thank you!
Hi! I’m so sorry she got sucked in! How long has she been In? Has she recruited anyone yet and what rank is she at? Also how old is she?
It sounds like she is pretty blinded already. It’s weird that she seems stuck on the whole “monthly fee” thing. If you are styling your hair and actually using a system of products then YES your hair is going to look better than if you aren’t. But no hair product that you are using on the outside of your body is going to make your hair grow longer or thicker.
Just be there for her. Don’t buy any products from her. And let her know you aren’t being negative or you aren’t saying that she is lesser than or not capable of being successful, you just know the facts, and you love her so much that you don’t want her to be manipulated
@@IAMCCSuarez haven’t asked her too much but I think she just started not too long ago. She’s a very shy person and usually never posts things on her IG stories or profile...recently she started and I was surprised...but then I find out it’s because she needs to promote the product 🤦🏼♀️ just looks so cringe. Told her I’d support her but won’t buy her products. She understands...just wish she hadn’t been sucked into it! I’ll be there for her when it all crumbles down...ah I hate these MLM companies who pry on the vulnerable and stay home mamas. I was in one 10 years ago and never looked back! (Binge watching your videos and love it!) keep it up girlie!
Thank you babe! Be there for her ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheJungaloo yea doesn’t make sense right?! I found out that all that she wrote to me is exact wording they ALL use to write to someone who questions them…so all that wasn’t her. She copied and pasted!
You doing your hair while listening to this crap is a mood 😂😂
Not bothered
And her lips 😂👏🏻 Can’t get over it, literally epic.
Yaaaaassssssss to telling her God wouldn’t want you to be going through this “beware of false prophets” ijs sis need to Get Out fast 💨 😳🥺
🥺🥸🥸🥸🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
15k? You’re at 106k today, girl! Congrats!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤍🤍🤍
Omg these poor girls need to stop believing what their upline is telling them...they are so misinformed it's sad
Buy a product pack and your a business owner ?!!!!! WHATTTTTT literally
what. T. F.
That’s crazy.
I went through hell trying to figure out how to fill out a sellers permit and business license
“Only a few of my family members buy from me” ?!???! GIRL. I have a jewelry company and I neverrr expect any of my friends or family members to buy from me. I felt bad for her until that.. she’s a cry baby. Sorry. I bet her family probably wanted a nice thanksgiving and she started guilting them into buying from her so she could reach a new rank before the month ended.
shes been stuck at the same level in the MLM for over a year now. You'd think shed start to understand that its a scam. its sadfishing. she posts these types of videos so that her team under her will work harder FOR her.
I love your approach to these videos! I found you last night and have been binging your videos. Your energy and commentary is fucking hysterical. Thank you for the entertainment. 🥰
Awh thank you Ryanne that means so much to me!
@@IAMCCSuarez of course! I’m watching the MLM fail videos while I clean. Can’t wait for more content 🥰
Been binge watching all these anti mlm videos from you! Can't wait to watch the true crime ones next!🖤
YAY!
Been binge watching your videos the last couple days and I am really enjoying them 😃
It’s sad that you’re depending on people to be promoted. In a normal company promotion is based on YOUR work alone. MLM’s are simply legal pyramid schemes because they’re selling a product, but it’s still a pyramid scheme. It’s not a stigma, it’s facts and truth and there’s plenty of history and facts to back it up.
Omg I remember my secondary school match teacher who used to be and still is involved with mlms. Starting with avon and oriflame, catalogs on her desk, (I think she was trying to lure us into that). Now she is showing her family (who used to be my girlfriend/bestie) a 5000k blender and her whole apartment was filled with brain food drinks because she couldn't sell it to anyone else so she gave it for free.
It's sad she was crying but holidays are not for peddling. Nobody wants to be targeted by family. Nobody has to support you but you!
Yes!! Like I want to eat my turkey in peace, not hear about how important it is to use vegan products while you are eating an animal in front of me.
Crows are super smart, they probably want to be your friend.
"this is teaching me someting, i don't know what it is" omg i've said that to myself when i was 2 years in MLM. i've been struggling mentally and physicaly but i thought life was just teaching me a lesson to "never give up" only to realize years after that i've been in a cult. omg 🥶
I was wondering how many times she says ummm! Good looking CC
Damn! I do Jewelry Appraisal as a hobby. Getting my Business License, me Wholesale and Resale Permits were such a pain in the ass. I have to do quarterly taxes. But at least I make some pocket money.
One of my close friends got into Monat recently. She initially told me she tried the products and liked them, and she joined as a distributor for the discounts. Surprise surprise, she has now made a Facebook page and added people. I tried to talk to her about how awful MLMs were before, and the lawsuits against Monat. But she had already fallen too deep.
Oh no. I hope she gets out of it soon. Those uplines suck.
Isolation from family is such an obvious cult tactic it’s sad to watch ppl go through that over a hair product
it's more so for the 'unattainable dream life' they are sold on and are selling. It's crazy, thats why they go after young naive college aged girls.
@@IAMCCSuarez so true. Glad to see more people making content like this because it’s very important to talk about!
Watching you talk about “hope I get to 15k” and you’re on 21.7k 💖
girl. I could cry, its so crazy to me.
This is totally unrelated to the video but your makeup is absolutely flawless🤩
Thank you babe!
Hilarious how one of the ads were for monat who the hell paid to put monat ads on UA-cam 🤣
Was it from Monat or a market partner?
"Value your time!" Love that. Spot on! Great video. Thanks
As someone who uses 100% natural products to wash my hair like rye flour or shikakai I am so confused by Monate huns pushing their shampoo as the most natural option, when it is so obviously not.
exactly
I love your hair and makeup in this video!
Ist time watching you!! I was in two mlm , i could never get in that ride and push product on anyone.
Whenever I watch your videos I always get ads for things that seem like pyramid schemes (I say 'seem like' because they never include the name of the 'business' in their ads or websites) and they're all so sketchy-
@20:00 the reason they think pins and $100 bonus and social media shout outs are a big deal is because, as you’ve said before, they’re recruiting people who worked retail and food industry where there are 0 rewards, incentives, or bonuses. I’ve worked for the #2 auto insurer in the country for 9 years and our sales people win cruises, ATVs, their bonuses above a certain # per month of sales is wild. But most of these folks never had those corporate jobs to see anything beyond retail compensation
good points boo.
Who wants to not do something "fun" cause they are working. Like seriously why are you excited about working.. We all have many times had to work holidays, or overtime but nothing we wanted to do. Also when I go on vacation I have nothing to do with work. Why would you want to work from vacation?
I feel so bad for the girl crying. If only she could see through the light. So sad.
So happy for you sis!! 💖
Thank you babe!!!!
Now you just made a Schitts Creek reference. We need to be best friends.
I love that journey for us
I love that you’re just chilling putting lip gloss on and it looks amazing on you
errmerrgerrrd thank you 😊 Maybelline filter gloss is my fave
You can't expect that your friends and family will buy your products over ones they've used for years just because you're selling it!
