Hi guys, I do realise I said 'transexual' by accident in this video instead of 'transgender' - I got the word 'transexual' in my head because I was reading articles about Dr Brown that were written decades ago - and mistakenly I started saying it myself. Sorry x
Edit: I also now realise saying 'chopping willies off' was insensitive, in my writer brain I was thinking about how I could tie it in with the 'chopping the leg off' story but I just didn't think properly. I do know that transition surgery isn't 'chopping willies off', and I was being stupid. Lesson learnt! Sorry again x
a. wanderer umm,,, wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that one can’t change their (biological) sex, but they can change their gender?
@@poetrysd2574 no, it's all bs.
@@edef1244 you should figure out how the internet works.
a. wanderer Well now you just sound transphobic. If that’s what you are I really don’t care to have a convo w/ you.
@@a.wanderer5006 I think you are the one who doesn't know how the internet works, since if you did you would know that what I said is a form of saying "no cares about your opinion"
And guess what, no one does. You have no more knowledge than a soggy breadcrumb
“I am tired and wired” is a great slogan that really speaks to me but also I have bipolar disorder so there’s that.
well and that is a medical problem, not something you gave yourself! I know how hard bipolar can be from having near relatives that are bipolar. I know about tired but wired, but sadly, there is "Wired to keep working and being the perfect woman..." Which is why Utah has the highest use of medications by women trying to be perfect in anyway.
😂😂😂 Same.
Same with my ADHD.
PTSD here -- it's more "exhausted and hypervigilant", but there's an element of "so tired I'm wired" in there.
That is me right now you nailed. I have to be at work in 3.5 hrs
Netflix needs to pick you up to do an investigative journalism series. You are so interesting, well read, and your video style is great!!
I agree.
With big production musical numbers!
Absolutely. I can't believe that a tiny UA-camr has produced this video, it's amazing.
I was thinking the same stuff... Like where did she even come from? Her content is awesome. I bet she'll pick up more subs in no time.
Ditto☝️☝️
Can you imagine giving birth only to hear your husband call you by the wrong name the day of while marketing for your pyramid scheme
At least he got the name of the pyramid scheme right, priorities
@@ojzcrocreations his real wife and child
Her paternal family surname being Startup is insane to me. Feels so sitcommy
It's like an Arrested Development joke
A family full of scammers...
Studied "Fasion" at "Brigham Young" University.
@@ethzero I feel like the 'University' part needs to be in airquotes, I fully believe its called Brigham Young ;)
Holy moly, I’m an ex-Mormon and it’s always surreal to hear informed, outside perspectives about the way I was brought up. Really helps put into context what I’ve put behind me, and helps me feel a little less crazy around my LDS friends and family. I appreciate that.
I’m a male Union rugby player why have I watched 80 minutes on a leggings MLM? Lol. Great videos!
I have a friend whose a male rugby player and I’m about to send him both parts this shit is great
Moni Mtenga hope he enjoys it!!
Best comment ever 😩😂
male union rugby players are allowed to have any other interests as well :)
damn i should send this to my cousin, she’s a female Union hockey player. does that count?
When the husband sang the "Tight Pants" song I almost couldn't make it through that. It was so cringy it caused me physical pain.
i was WHEEZING
Yeah, it hurt. Woof.
Oh my god 😂😂🥴 my stomach actually cringed so hard it hurt
Jeezuz ugggggg 🤮
Me too, and I’ve got my tight pants on
That book that Deanne’s mom wrote is literally a masterclass in manipulation. It’s almost psychopathic in the way she constructs this very ‘feminine’ character and tells you how to put this character on. No wonder Deanne is the way she is.
Edit: just got to the plastic surgeon part. There is something very rotten in that family tree.
,,
It’s the cult part
Okay, so. A month ago, I went down the rabbit hole that were MLMs. I swear I’ve watched every anti-MLM video on UA-cam (most recycling the same information, but I just couldn’t stop) - which is where I found your part 1 video.
Fast forward to this video.. GIRL YOU TRULY OUTDID YOURSELF WITH THIS ONE. I LITERALLY KNEW ALMOST NOTHING IN THIS VIDEO (I swear I’ve watched a good 30-40 videos on LulaRoe itself). THE AMOUNT OF TIME, EFFORT, AND RESEARCH THAT WENT INTO THIS? I don’t know what you do, but investigative journalism is your CALLING.
And that SONG? I am still shook. This was such a good video. I want to share it with literally everyone so it can go viral omg.
Anyway, I say all that to say - amazing work and that song was so good. 😂
Me too!.... so interesting
She really is so freakin gifted isn’t she? I discovered her from the Arbonne videos and if you haven’t seen those I highly recommend! I’m in the anti MLM rabbit hole for almost a year now and this channel always blows every other video out the water!
I prefer the Arbonne song she did, but these videos are so fucking amazing. Her research is truly well done and like you I've watched so many MLM videos, but was still presented with new information. Extremely impressed!!
I was just thinking this !!
Absolutely agree! Spent my Friday night on both videos. Thanks UA-cam for the recommendation! Wow so good.
It's like their entire bloodline just wakes up and goes "hmmm how can I scam someone today?" allegedly...
Lol ALLEGEDLY 😂
their last names are literally "Startup" hahahahahah wowz
Not even just their family but the whole culture surrounding their religion which is even worse. However, given how it was founded, the scamming and sketchiness suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
Lmao sounds like every Government in every country. Why isn't FTC looking into these ponzi schemes? Pay too Play $$$$$$$$$$
@@tammywines7343 you answered your own question...."pay to play"
i was expecting a simple rehashing of vice's doc. yoooo was not even ready for what she uncovered in her thorough individual research or her ending in a musical number. blown away by the quality of this video. great job!
That's so crazy that John Ronald Brown is part of her family. Behind the Bastards did a fantastic two parter on that guy. Once you mentioned failed surgeon who operated illegally I was like "WAIT A MINUTE!"
How did her family all get into scamming in all different ways??? How do scammers find each other? How did they give birth to scammers?
The way that obnoxious man handled that precious newborn baby has me worried.
Like it was a prop for his business not his precious newborn baby.
Also I’m deaf but..
Did he call his wife TUBBY on the day she birthed a child?? 5:10
Clever Feather I caught that too.
I mean he named it Braxton so there's assault right there from the start
@@sonablom She probably had braxton hicks & he mistook it for a name
Wow, you really did your research on this one. This is what journalists used to do. You do an excellent job of presenting the info and keeping your audience interested. Keep up the great work.
agreed amazing.
where’s the patreon, you absolute legend?! I consume so much mlm content that I’m honestly surprised there was so much in these videos that I didn’t know before. the taste, the sophistication, the research, the writing skills, the BARS! everything. you should be so proud :,)
100% agree. I'm an anti-MLM junkie on UA-cam, and I heard stuff in this video I've never heard before. Her content is GOLD.
same same SAAAAAAME. And her songs are pure genius.
Agreed. Her content is some of the best I have seen. Would certainly patreon.
Same! Please set up a patreon x
Agree.
I can't believe that I was able to watch this for free. this is a high quality art
The thing Deanna told the consultant to do to train her face to smile is extremely similar to how they used to torture dissenting wives in mental hospitals in the 1930s
When that didn't work they used trans-orbital lobotomies! And then they invented mommy's little helper (Valium) no more lobotomies and no wife ever dissented again! /s (for the record I am on valium for severe anxiety and it has it's place in treatment, but not as mommy's little helper)
This is weird to hear for me because when I was 12 I had a therapist tell me to do this same thing to trick my brain into being happy
The things mormons will admit to you about the cult and how they view women makes that basically routine in the culture. It’s really scary.
The story of Dr. Brown makes me so angry, especially the fact that he would prey on trans people who really had no other choice. I really can’t believe how relevant this story is to a shitty legging company.
the thing that really gets me is that he spent DECADES harming trans women, botching surgeries so horrifically that many of his “patients” committed suicide… and he only was brought to trial once he killed a cis man
@@Lucy-fn9rj exactly. Just the perfect crystallization of how little worth society has for trans lives.
@@Lucy-fn9rj most such gender "reassignment" (or, worse, "confirmation") surgeries suffer complications, post-surgical infections, nerve damage etc, and this is a significant cause of the suicide rate. These procedures are inherently unethical. Unprincipled surgeons predating upon the insecure and mentally ill. The trans ideology movement is every bit as much as a cult as MLMs.
@@Lucy-fn9rj Stop trying twist reality into your twisted victim complex narrative. If you kill yourself then you are the murderer. The man who died, died from an illegal surgery. There were consequences for his botched surgeries.
@@ellaisplotting *had
It's so terrifying how many people want to be doctors who are not qualified. It's like D. Garry Young from Young Living, who delivered his daughter and then held her underwater newborn for 1 hour to "cleanse" her, killing her. And didn't assist his wife of the time (who left him after) and she nearly died from bleeding.
Katherine Petersorf - also a connection to practicing in Tijuana. What is happening in the Mormon community to promote this?
Katherine Petersorf woah thats so messed up
Bitchy Babysitter I honestly think it’s just that few people research their companies or leaders. I started looking into MLMs when my sister in law joined young living. The materials scared me. I learned a lot from people doing deep dives & exploring their sources.
She didn’t read past the websites’ propaganda. So I doubt many other members do either. ☹️
Katherine Petersorf The mormon community reading materials and evidence? Not gonna happen. They follow a religion for a reason.
HOLY SHIT WHAT???!?!?!
I hit 47 minutes and forgot this was about leggings stacked into a pyramid.
TatsCatsandBats we fell into her rabbit hole
Honestly same. This video covered a lot more than I expected it to.
The musical segment with the couples actually caused my soul to escape my body thanks Munecat !
"oh jeez, she's doing the cell block tango, that's a tall order, I bet she'll only do one verse otherwise it's gonna be way too much work"
"omg the lyrics are clever and match, wth"
"what she did the entire song!? what a queen!"
it's like, you live what you learn. I have a dear friend who is a Mormon. She would take me with her to open events, to non Mormons.... but warned me that Utah and Mormons fall for so many scams, as they are pushed to believe each other and trust. My LLR salesperson, said to me she couldn't not support LLR ("They are a new company"), as she could never believe such religious people would do anything but be good. My friend and the LLR dealer also are truly religious good people, and ended up horrified that people would pretend to be religious and yet act in such a non religious way. LLR friend was HEARTBROKEN, as she learned, that religious talk doesn't equate to moral behavior.
"Happiness is a choice!"
My hereditary depression: 😱
I hear ya.

_Late Stage Capitalism is typing in the chat..._
It's hilarious that he says that in the same speech that he's crying about people being mad at him. Can't he just choose to be happy and not be upset about it? Stop crying! 😃 Just be happy!
@@tonichan89 it’s the most abusive bullshit 💀😂can’t watch that clip without my brain doing a chilly “idk u seem pretty angry rn pal why don’t you just choose to be happy?”
It’s weirdly not him being fucked up on his own, a lot of ex mormons talk about that mindset about emotions being baked in- “contention is of the devil”- and seeing performing extraneous levels of very white Americana billboard happiness as both a requirement they owe their church and god, and a form of social currency.
One of my favorite channels @zelphontheshelf talks about worrying if they were permanently unable to make sincere connections after leaving bc of how performed and manipulative the entire framework for having emotions was presented to them.
I feel like they like couples bc alot of mlms say "hey this person doesnt support your business. Cut them out of your life" one person you most likely would have a serious issues with cutting out would be a spouse. If both arent involved maybe one spouse would see through the bullshit after they do they math of how much $ they lost .. More sales and less people saying "youre literally losing $" to their consultants.
Not about that. Employers aren't racing to hire ex-MLMers. So when you have a couple whose sole income is LLR, it's harder to leave. One person in and one person out is a path out. That path is cemented over when both are in.
This. Is. Brilliant.
Seriously, I am in awe of the quality of your MLM videos. Your research is fantastic, your editing is flawless and your humour is *chef’s kiss*. I can’t even imagine how much work you put into this video. Thank you from the bottom of my hunbot-hating heart. 🖤
Your segment on the LDS aspect was done super well! I was curious how you would present the information you found.
I live in Utah (didn't grow up here) and I'm an ex Mormon and ex MLM.
The Mormon church is the biggest MLM of them all in my opinion. Recruiting, materialistic and needed to pay to get into heaven - all so crazy now that I'm out of it all and can see the bigger picture.
Man, if anyone has money north of a certain number, there is a 100% chance they are stealing off the backs of someone lower. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Yeesh they call it capitalism
Step on someone or be stepped on
Merciless shit for my liking, that's why I'll always be under that certain number & don't even mind it.
Facts!
aye. you don't get that rich in the first place without exploiting others.
*Just* *wow* , I find this so intriguing because I grew up in a Mormon household in Salt Lake City, UT and I always heard about these crazy MLM scams going on. Seriously right after you graduate high school you get bombarded with pitches about these schemes & it definitely baked into the Mormon missionary culture as well (I'm an ex-Mormon now).
This is one of the best docs I've seen on this subject, thank you for sharing I'll be sure to send it to all my old Utah friends for a laugh!
Always have to say to a fellow exMo! 👋
ExMo high five! 🖐
wahoo finding another exmo🤍
Yay for exmos! No secret handshakes for us.
I'm so proud of you all ❤ Enjoy the freedom!!
You, my dear, are a true journalist. Like what VICE were like until a few years ago. I have gotten so jaded with mainstream media and their idea of 'reporting' but you are actually amazing in regards to your investigation and reporting.
Yes exactly what I was thinking. Mainstream media says that people do not have the interest nor the attention span to follow in depth investagetive journalism or long documentaries anymore but I disagree. There are plenty of people on UA-cam who really appreciate this high quality content.
Also for the nieve or dull people who do not make the effort to seek such information & reliable content out, they are not provided easily digestible information via mainstream sources. They are left ignorant or rely on attention grabbing headlines but are not informed; leaving them ignorant & more vulnerable.
Any journalist outlet that actually does effective reporting is usually on a ticking clock to be bought out and sanitized by whichever wealthy person they've pissed off. Money and journalism never should have gone together.
the husband in that tight pants video looks like he's being held hostage
Yeah that passive aggressive line about “we quit our full time jobs for this oh nooo” was his cry for help.
Ladies: You gotta do the LulaBlow if you wanna sell that LulaRoe. Yes. I am immature, I apologize. 🙃
I JUST SPAT OUT MY TEA
mlm companies: "we empower women to make money through their own businesses!"
also mlm companies: "you have to suck dick so that your husband won't be mad about you driving your family into debt by filling every room in your house with our un-sellable merchandise"
💀💀💀💀💀 Ik this comment is old but it killed me lololol
only if you're a lulaho
...A good selling technique...I'm sure....🤣😂🙃
I don’t know why you landed in my recommendations, but I’m so glad you did and I’m glad I clicked. You’re hilarious and talented.
P.S. If a man (or anyone) came into my hospital room to sell me ugly clothes right after I gave birth, he’d need a hospital room for himself.
Omfg no that tight pants song is haunting my soul
That song made me cringe so hard that it will take a trained chiropractor to get the kinks out!
Here’s a home truth: no man ever looks good in leggings.
This kimberleigha chick is not anti mlm anymore. So better gtfo here
kim byr leigh a girl bye
What's haunting my soul is the fact that you sold yours for an MLM.
after seeing this i think completely differently about katy perry and struggle HARD to have any respect left for her!
rubycelica rest easy-- it was just a paid gig for her- musicians and actors take these nonsense gigs all the time- it’s just a payday- nothing nefarious.
Ceri Howe But she accepted it. Lady Gaga for instance doesn’t just take “any” gig. Not to mention all the other problematic shit Katy regularly says and does, lol. Katy is pure trash and she promotes toxic positivity.
asmRTPOP we don’t know every gig that everyone does however....these are private corporate parties--think of all the actors who shill products in Japan, and appear in all kinds of international parties/ gigs. I’m not a massive Katy Perry fan by any stretch-I simply don’t think she’s a good vocalist--but there are PLENTY of celebs who do gigs and appearances for groups of people all the time--and many times they’re booked by agents-so the celeb is given a little script , and does the gig.
yep
Ceri Howe I mean, we do...these are pop celebrities were discussing. If they go somewhere, it will be mentioned all over the internet.
Why haven't I seen this before? The amount of detail in part 1 and 2 are incredible. Really enjoyed such a long and in-depth video. Getting a bit bored of the anti MLMers ( as much as I love anti MLM content) posting the same stuff over and over, reacting to the same posts. Much prefer more in depth investigation kind of stuff
Thank you. I got really bored of that stuff fast too. Oh Karen said another crazy thing whoopdedoo
The identical twins with near identical names reveal was absolutely wild to me. I thought that only happened in cartoons and kids' books.
the song at the end is reminiscent of the way danny gonzalez sometimes makes songs for this kind of thing, and i am hERE FOR IT. I love seeing youtubers take inspiration in a productive way yes
I love him! Thank you
For real, was so not expecting it and then for how well it was done too. Bravo.
This John R. Brown stuff is mindblowing. So the Startups are related to a pioneer of gender reassignment surgery/murder? Bet Deanne is more upset about the first than the second
If you were appalled and fascinated by the aside about Dr. Brown, the podcast Behind the Bastards has two episodes about him: John Ronald Brown: The Worst Surgeon Ever parts one and two. I had no idea he was related to this crazy mess, though.
i'm gonna check that out!
you put so much more effort into your content than like 3/4 of UA-cam. I can’t believe you put an amazing song parody at the end. This is the best thing I’ve seen on this platform in ages. And tbh I’ve been really into the anti-MLM community for years now and I still learned new things from your videos. Absolutely fantastic work
I feel like I learned more from you a year ago than I did from the Amazon doc. That's a testament to your exquisite works. Thank you and cheers! 🥂🎉
Imagine being such a bad doctor that you couldn’t even lop off a leg. Something sailors did weekly on a damn ship on the ocean 💀
boysdontnotcry sailors also DIDNT have the option of sanitizing or had the knowledge this fruitloop did. Kinda hard to keep things clean after you just fought off god know who and ol franks leg got half blow off by a cannon ball.
Girl your songs are the best. I watched that part like 3 times laughing. You spent a lot of time on this and part 1, and this is a great video everyone remotely interested in mlm’s should watch! Keep up the good work!
Have you seen/heard her Arbonne song? Scathing!
I love it. But then I also love Chicago, so... it's just crazy how well she switched it up to fit Lularoe.
Your channel is balm for the soul when someone is really sick & can't do anything. Entertainment level beats any.. I live for those musical numbers!!! 🤩
I remember when this business first appeared because her daughter, Amelia Lyon, was recommending us all in the OC photography scene to sign up. I feel like a big portion of the initial starters were photographers.
I'm a Utahn and an ex mormon. I've personally seen these MLMs ravage so many families including my own. I've never been in an mlm, but I have been sucked into a couple different cults over the years. It's disgusting how prevalent this stuff is around here. The church is like the ultimate MLM and all the MLMs feed into it. These MLMs remind me of drug trade, like the way they build up their own base of supporters to get the top few rich while everyone else loses their asses. Sadly, that's really a problem here too. As is the pill popping you mentioned among many mormons who dont drink or do drugs but see prescriptions as a free for all. I am currently making my own channel and series of videos visiting all of these companies headquarters. I hope to see them all shut down someday. Thanks for your excellent research I learned stuff I didnt already know.
"woman empoweress katy perry" haha i'm deceased
So, I knew vaguely about LuLaRoe and I knew about Dr. Brown but I did not realize they were connected. Holy crap.
Actually she tweeted a picture at her sisters wake... they were all standing around her sisters coffin with her sister lying there deceased. Oh and of course she hash-tagged LulaRoe in the post. Very creepy.
Oh em geee!
I don’t normally enjoy spoofs, but Cell Block LuLaRoe was hilarious! Super informative video with that perfect touch of humor. You nailed it!
I’m moving to Utah, I got a scam to run.
I heard that. The taxes and home prices are great, compared to Southern California! You’ll do well. 🤣
I got curious about Lularoe after being approached by one of their consultants semi-aggressively trying to sell to me while at an amusement park. This research piece (both parts) was so well done. Well done you!
I won’t lie maybe l am fashionably disadvantaged but those clothes look ridiculous to me. I don’t get how it’s so popular.
superit dutchess it’s not
One of my good friends and her lifelong friend opened a LLR boutique. It makes me sad.
@@bookishmermaid9927 yes and i think the same thing happens with people plus size, it's hard enough to find clothes that fit them but also that have unique patterns or bright colors so LLR gives them a way to express themselves and experiment like you said
@@bookishmermaid9927 you have just described the Taliban’s treatment of women.
They are absolutely hideous! I also dont understand why anyone would buy that crap.
So, never cared for MLMs, but have a lot of friends (including an aunt who has mental deficiencies) who have been sucked into at least 1 MLM. Honestly, someone recommended an MLM product on facebook yesterday and I was like, yah... pass... and suddenly there were 4 Anti-MLM videos recommended on my UA-cam home feed...
I have a friend who was selling LuLaRoe. I thought the leggings were hideous and would decline all party invites she'd send on Facebook. It's insane to know what she was actually dealing with. I figured she'd dropped maybe $500 like most suckers do with MLMs to start her "business". Luckily, I have not seen her make any LuLaRoe posts in about 2-3 years now, so I assume she's out of it.
Great job with the information. I went from merely not caring for MLMs to being absolutely disgusted by them.
I was going to watch this before watching part1, just to be naughty but then I remembered that not only does Münecat have a computer but she's very good at investigations, so I dutifully watched these in the order suggested.
Brilliant work, very thoroughly done. It's astonishing to consider the amount of despair that these empires are built upon & the cruelty involved in ultimately convincing their victims that they're somehow at fault when they're inevitably financially destroyed by their misguided loyalty.
Everything about your videos are PERFECT!! your research, your humor, your editing, your eyeshadow 🥺
I never understood the popularity of LuLaRoe--women fighting over the "black legging". I HAVE heard horror stories about useless inventory and huge amounts of money "invested" by the sellers. In fact, local thrift stores in my area get racks and racks of unsold merchandise from reps because they cannot sell the items. Thank you for such an in depth video! It was truly eye opening--especially the fact that a majority of MLM's are based out of Utah!
For once the algorithm suggested something great! This was one of the most informative and entertaining anti mlm videos. Keep up the great work!
The song at the end was absolutely delightful.
You're truly talented. As I was watching this Steven Spielberg came to mind. The amount of creativity and work that goes into your videos are impressive!
I look forward to watching you grow and rise in this thing called life. Good luck💚
It blows my mind how it is possible that you dont have more subscribers? You put so much effort into those videos.
This channel should have so many more followers...incredible quality of content and presentation. I can't imagine I just watched 2 hours on an mlm selling leggings. The time just flew by...
DeAnne is only 60?!? I would have guessed closer to 70!
And that’s why we don’t abuse drugs, kids.
Deanne is like those twins who eat their twin in utero, except she completely "ate" her sister's existence after she created Lularoe... what a great gal, not weird at all.
when they're both the evil twin...
When I was a teenager, I used to actually wake up and tell myself I was going to have a great day, and it worked. That was before I had depression, and actual adult problems and stress. It was in the happiest time of my life, really. Now, I wish so hard I had the capacity to psych myself up like that again. People that tell others that happiness is a choice have never really needed to face adversity.
The most comprehensive LulaRoe investigation anywhere on the internet !!
29:40 he was ok scamming ppl until he was on the outs?!? Classy
Came for some MLM Funk, stayed for the „botched surgery and murder“ rabbit hole. Someone give this girl a job in investigative journalism!
Subscribe button, stat!
I don’t even know how I found these videos but I’ve just given you over an hour of my life. 😃 I can’t believe LLR is still operating!
The musical number at the end...simply delightful!
Holy crap, I fell down the Butcher Brown hole last year. I was shocked at what all he did. You did such a great job on these videos. Thank you for your hard work.
Better late than never, your contents are the bomb! Thank you!
When you talked about the surgeon, since I was cooking and not watching, after a while I thought "oh the LuLaRoe video ended and this next one is about truecrime"
...but NOPE!!!
Of course that couple's kid was named Braxton.
This was a masterpiece! I thought I'd seen every anti-MLM video about LLR, but you pulled in so much info I'd never heard before. That bit about Deanne's mom's book and her whacked out uncle butchering people for a living - holy.crap 😳
You deserve so much more credit for all the work you put into these, I’ve never been even close to disappointed by a video 💕
My eyes & ears literally started bleeding🩸when that couple started singing 🎤& dancing 🕺
Thank you so much for doing this video I love your videos❤️ but this 1!!🤪
I was never a consultant however, I have so many LLR garments (most I still wear as lounging or dog walking clothes). Every time I feel like buying more, needing a drug fix, I watch your videos and others' to keep myself from looking. Thanks for being part of my LLR Anonymous support group!!
I would LOVE more of these on other MLMs! Great job!!! As an ex-Mormon, I appreciate your research and inclusion of Mormonism in this MLM video. It is a sick and twisted relationship.
Holy crap. All MLMs are scams but LuLaRoe is on a whole other level! 😲
Okay but for real WHO TOOK THE TIME TO STITCH THAT ENTIRE QUOTE LIKE THAT?! 😱😱😱
I have friends that struggle to make ends meet, and yet fork over their faithful Mormon 10% to that paragon of corruption no matter what. Breaks my heart a bit.
I live in Riverside County where this company is headquartered. In 2016-2017 my son was on a swim team and had meets all around the county. There was lularoe booths at every single meet sometimes multiple. They would have people look at the clothes but by mid 2017 there was definitely a different vibe to these booths almost desperation. The consultants weren’t as bubbly. I had no idea the turmoil this company was in at the time.
Please cover Younique next!! I know so many consultants and it's so sad
I love hearing münecat's American accent in the finale song. So good. This whole documentary is gold!
Wild. Explains a lot about my acquaintance who was in LLR and dragged her husband into it... he quit his job and she ended up in Piphany.
This is the best look at LulaRoe I've seen yet. Really well-researched and focused on a lot of facets some of the other ones haven't (Mormonism, family ties, etc). Thanks for the intense dive on this one. Your antiMLM videos are easily my favourite on UA-cam.
The song at the end is probably the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. I'm so happy right now 😂
I feel so bad for the people who realise in the end how much money they’ve wasted and how much energy that was for nothing. More people should be aware of these horrible companies!
I'm over here wondering how there's Mormons fully against materialism and being rich and then there's these...like which higher power is correct in their heads when there's too many versions?
I am loving your deep dives. You've obviously put so much effort and research into them. They're like a combination of behind the bastards (podcast, that incidentally did an episode on "Butcher Brown") with a Randy Rainbow number at the end. (That's the other thing. I am loving your music.)
New MLM video and its over an hour long? Looks like my birthday came early this year!
"I am SO excited 🙄" You sure about that? Cause if your nose grew any longer it would've broke the screen.
Alex Hook hunbot?
@@chasingdharmaify Ya I'm referring to the hunbot who had to fake being excited about the dramatic pricecut in the onboarding fee.
The CHICAGO ending song was 👌💋💕 infinite chef kisses!!!
You're my new favorite documentary youtube channel! I'll be sharing this with everyone!
Your tribute song at the end of this content was the most malevolent thing I have ever heard. You are so worth a sub. Thank you for this fascinating slice of Americana. I will never ever talk to a Mormon again.
This video doesn't have enough views. And the masterpiece at the end. Oh wow.
We need more people to understand what MLMs are.
Here in Italy we have Helbalife and everytime I get old friends who seem to want to rekindle our friendship only to end up trying to get me to join Herbalife is just ... first of all heartbreaking and also makes me feel sad for them and all the manipulation they need to do in order to sell this fitness product and get more people to join..
Someone, please, go and get Katy Perry, what is she even doing.
I think it might be Pentecostal? She was actually a Christian musician before she hit it big so I’m not that surprised. Her family is still heavy hitters in the mega-church cycle.
If that makes you cringe the next year they had Kelly Clarkson perform at this event. In total they spent something like $1.6 Million on the two of them while people were losing homes and having issues with health and other things.

She’s Pentecostal and her entire family is bug nuts.
Selling herself, like all artists
It’s all about the Benjamins baby...

This hurts to hear. I’m a transsexual man and I can almost imagine, if it was still that bad, becoming so desperate as to go to that “surgeon.” I hope he didn’t do bottom surgery, that would be an atrocity considering he isn’t qualified. Hurts to think about.
he did everything, absolutely everything his patients allowed him to do
There’s a Behind the Bastards series about John Ronald Brown
- he was a completely amoral, completely incompetent “doctor” who did in fact perform a LOT of bottom surgeries on trans people, very few of which were actually acceptable or turned out well for the person involved.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're a natural. One day, you will be a very large channel. Thank you for all the research you do and time and effort put into these videos.
I went down the LLR rabbit hole years ago because a woman who worked for LLR hired me to be her social media and marketing consultant. I was still in college and wanted the experience so I agreed. For two weeks I was OBSESSED with this company...that is NOT an exaggeration. At the time, I didn't know about MLM's or "direct marketing". Once I quickly found out what it was in my research, I was hooked to the dumpster fire. Followed the company ever since and have often thought of writing a book about this uniquely effed up family because I did SO much research. I read every blog post, secretly infuriated their facebook groups, watched every video (which at the time there were practically none), read every lawsuit in full (there were only three out at the time), read their entire contract, and read thousands of BBB complaints. I was extremely thorough, to the point that I litereally consumed ANY and ALL information out there I could find. It was fascinating to me how these companies worked and this companies "family" drama. I didn't think to research their family history though because I was doing research for the "job". After that, I complied a three page document with sources linked and everything as to why she needed to get out of the business. She refused and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I gave her my ideas for marketing as I was hired for a job but practically begged her to get out of the business because it would ruin her. She was definitely not one of the top 1%. This was in spring of 2017. She got out in 2019 but never posted on her facebook why so I don't know what happened. She bought this beautiful and expensive house with a water view in Tacoma and all I could think when we would sit on her porch discussing business is one day, she'll have to sell this place.
Anyway, great work. With as much research as I did, you still taught me things I didn't know.
Edit: I tried watching this video when it came out but everything in it (I got thorough half of the first one) I already knew and I was tired of listening to the same thing over and over (I was new to your channel). When your video of Tony Robbins came out yesterday, these videos popped up and I thought she's such a natural at this, let me give those LLR videos another try. So glad I did because you had info I didn't actually know!
I have an immense amount of respect for you. You are so thorough and smart. I can't believe one person was able to output content of such high quality. fuckin' subbed !
