Why I left Monat…

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Second video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppPaXqeZpNFksMksi=G52yopo_Uvvl5oqo

[@IAMCCSuarez]

Kelsii, at the risk of sounding corny, I am so freaking proud of you for seeing through the BS. You are amazing and your story is so so so valuable and your feelings are valid. Youre a badass.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@laurasimonelli9920]

OMG. As an anti-mlm content fan, if no one else has said it, I am so proud of you!!!!!! What you did, by leaving and then making this video, is more courageous than any outsider will know. We need to hear what your upline said about the toxic ingredient. The point is, they cannot PREACH about one thing and do another, that is the problem. I don’t care much about ingredients, like I agree a little bit of that chemical is probably no worse than a soda, but that is not the point. “It’s European standards because our consumers are super health conscious, unless they read the ingredients then we’ll tell them that they’re dumb for caring about their health”. I can’t. MLM is a giant gaslighting circle and I feel terrible for all the victims to it. Talk about adult bullying…. You’re amazing and I think you’re going to be highly successful in whatever you do in the future! ❤️❤️❤️ You are going to help more people than you realize, we need to hear it from those who are in it today.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Thank you!! More is in the works

[@brittneybabeee4031]

Thank you so much for calling this out. I know a lot of people can be rude to those who are (were) in an MLM, and while I understand their frustration & I understand that some people in MLMs ARE awful people, I can also totally understand WHY MLMs seem so appealing. Being approached by someone who clearly *is* successful in an MLM & being promised that YOU can be too, & do it all while staying home with your kids(!) would sound incredible to anyone! A lot of us in the anti-MLM world can easily forget how the average person, the average mom, is not likely to know everything we know. None of us joined the anti-MLM community with all the knowledge of MLMs & how harmful they are- no, we learned more over time. So, to expect the average person who is just trying to get by & would love more money & more time with their kids, of course an MLM sounds amazing!! WE know *now* just how scammy MLMs are but someone who isn’t in the community & who has a totally different community & totally different social media feed would likely not have the info we do readily available to thwart off MLMers. So, I say all that to say, please don’t beat yourself up for falling victim to their scam. You realized the truth, you escaped, & now you’re sharing which will help others, so you’re more than doing your part!! Thank you for sharing your story!! :)

[@AcmePhoto]

Good call. While some MLM have okay products the culture and cult like activities are aweful. Please don't join another, they are all different flavors of the same poison.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

❤

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

The quality of the product is irrelevant if the business model is stupid. Sales people in real jobs do not recruit more salespeople when there’s no demand. It should be very obvious that these are unethical & not designed to generate a full time income. It’s 2024, is anyone even trying logic? This should not still be a problem, but no one will listen until they F around and find out. Just once I’d like to hear from the people who didn’t fall for obvious nonsense.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglorythe model can sound good though. for someone with children that needs a job they can work from home with their own hours without needing experience…. I’ve applied for many stay at home jobs and right now there’s very few in my area or you need experience. That’s why their target audience is stay at home moms

[@afraaomar4682]

​@@Kelsiielizabethwhich makes MLMs even more disgusting and predatory.. They know that a lot of SAHMs are desperate for a job from home and they take advantage of that knowing that 99% of these women are gonna lose money, but they don't care as long as the MLM and the higher up uplines get a lot of money off of the vulnerable people

Just had flashbacks to when my upline didn’t believe that I was in the DMs and asked me to send her screenshots of all the DMs and then she’d give me responses to send back… I literally paid my friends to buy product packs and then my upline called me with her upline to “celebrate” ☠️ major cult vibes!!!

I’m so proud of you for getting out of there and taking it a step further and sharing your story! It would’ve been so easy to just go ghost instead of apologizing to everyone you sent the messages to while spreading awareness, so I admire you for being brave, speaking your truth and warning others about what’s actually going on. You deserve the world! I hope you know you are such a beautiful, amazing strong woman! ❤❤❤ as a mother I know how convincing some of these people can be, I’ve seen it happen to my aunts and one of my friends so I’m really glad you were able to get out.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Thank you so much I’m surprised actually by how many negative comments I’ve gotten from anti mlm people… I expected it from monat girls not them

[@hubabaloop]

I know it sounds crazy but MLMs have been known to pay top leaders to join their companies & leave others - it’s called a bridge paycheck or something similar. They are essentially buying like thousands of customers (the leaders downline)

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Yeah I’m hearing that now, that’s crazy!

[@yourtanktopfriend777]

Good on you for getting out. All mlms are like this.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

[@Astrocam88]

This tells me that the majority of people in health, wellness, beauty etc MLMs are not qualified to tell you what might or might not work for you. They have no idea, it's just copy and paste in the hopes to get the next sale or recruit. I'm so glad you're speaking out about it. I've never been a part of an MLM but their pitches always sounded scammy to me even before I knew what they were.

[@Kelsiielizabeth]

Correct! And half the copy and paste isn’t correct to say or legal!

[@Aerodil]

Now please continue to watch all the other antiMLM content creators to ensure you do not fall prey for another one. There's a lot of them, and they're starting to become a little insidious.

Do not give one cent to another person with a product through MLM structures.

@@Kelsiielizabeth this is thanks to what's happening in California where there's a class action lawsuit against BODI (Beachbody) and lawyers are preparing to do an industry wide class action lawsuit.

I got suckered into this “cult”. Now full disclosure - I do still use one of their hair lines. But - I find the whole concept so false and just really pushy. Luckily my upline is a friend. And knows I’m allergic to all the other monat products apart from one line. I just don’t buy into it. The whole monetisation is just overly complicated (red flag 1). The sellers are just confused everyday people who are spoonfed absolute garbage from uplines of uplines. The forums of confused sellers makes me wonder how anyone could ever trust what they are being sold…… Anyhow. I don’t believe in using just one product line. And that’s what they’re selling at monat. I could never in good faith push it on people. It really stinks from the get go. I’m amazed so many people fall for it! 🤷‍♀️

[@victoriathorne1441]

First of all, I’m proud of you for trusting your gut and doing your research! 🎉 However, it’s known that if you have a big enough influence you will likely be given a deal [money] to “transition” into another company. Simply bc you will make them loads of money in that process. It’s an open secret in the industry and I’ve seen it many times. You would never know about it unless you close enough to the influential people bc it absolutely unfair.
