She's asking people to spend money to be in association with her where she distills her knowledge, wisdom and faux friendship. If she entangles her Legacy Collective and gets people to sign up for any of her MLM schemes then that's more proof. It's subtle coercion. People fall for cults bc of charismatic leaders who make them feel special. This is not normal behavior.

I don't follow her online so a lot of stuff is new and I stumbled on her YT channel. This video is so on brand for her-she just thinks that no rules or anything apply to her. She was rude, entitled, bratty. When the guy clearly doesn't really want to be on camera and she videos him and tries to win him over and then looks at camera and explains that is what she does to get out of any messy situation. She's just the worst.

Has she advertised the cruise yet? I must have missed it.

[Anonymous]

No. And her face plastered all over the advertisement. I have to think that her rabid followers can afford a $50 ticket to see her speak but can’t afford a $2k cruise away from their family. W the backlash of her self indulgent, entitled me camp, I would’ve thought she’d be more careful about continuing to ask or recommend ppl take time away from their families and jobs to indulge in a solo vacation. She’s so gross

It's being described as a "cruise within a cruise" so I'm sure they are not expecting to fill the whole ship with fans. Could you imagine being on that ship as just a regular passenger?

[Anonymous]

Is the cruise for real? Because I see it on the link someone posted above but don’t see it on her website when I type jenhatmaker.com and also not on the cruise lines website.
And it is the cheesiest advertisement I’ve ever seen. I think it’s maybe not real.

Cruise of Jen and friends means desperate saddos will pay 2k plus book club fees plus Legacy Collective donation to spend maybe 10 minutes drooling at Jen from afar. Hugs are 500$ extra.

I think maybe they weren’t ready to advertise it yet…leaked by insider? Looks legit though…it’s on her website if you add /cruise behind jenhatmaker . com

Someone should flood her social media with the link, make sure various fans see it and run with it, but also see if Team Jen tries to keep it all deleted/blocked. That would be telling how legit it is.

[Anonymous]

Agreed it’s probably set for strategic release after she’s milked holiday gift list endorsements and promo codes and cookbook sales for all they’re worth.

What would 2015 Jen say if she got a glimpse into the future and saw 2022 Jen?
The shock would be incredible.

You are a stressed suburban mom and wife of teens in her mid 40s basically the Jen Demographic. You somehow cobble together $2,000 to go on this trip with a girlfriend or two. You all fly down to Galveston and board a Carnival cruise line, basically the lowest cost option for cruise lines. You get into a cramped, damp cabin with an unpleasant odor. The boat is stuffed to the gills with constantly drunk partyers. The noise is unrelenting. You get hungry and go to one of the buffets. It's room temperature eggs and bacon and juice and bad coffee and mushy melon slices this side of going south. As you eat your breakfast you find the other Hatmaker Fan Girls and you all wonder when she's going to make an appearance. The pool is already stuffed with humanity. The poolside patio chairs and cabanas already all taken. The DJ starts to play club music and you feel a building tension headache already building behind your eyes. You wonder at this moment if you should have stayed in Oklahoma City or maybe taken a trip down to one of the Alabama beaches for a few days with your family instead.

Wow. Now she's milking her paradoxical relationships - and selling the opportunity to get to be in proximity to her. She is selling a seat in a circle of connection one ring closer than ordinary followers could access. This feels so gross, and is so weird and so grifty - and it both preys and profits off of people's attachment trauma and the loneliness many people are experiencing these days.

After the world's shortest cruise, do we think there's going to be ongoing relationship between Jen and these superfans? I don't think so? Ugh. This is certainly a new low.
