This is the funniest thing I read all day.
And I bought a ton of LLR leggings a few years ago.
Not to make light because it is very sad how much money people lost…but I just cannot believe that people saw leggings with cats eating donuts or octopuses, had $5 in their bank account and decided this is how they were going to get rich
Are you saying there were leggings with cats eating octopuses? Or just leggings with octopuses? I think you are saying the latter but I fervently wish there were leggings where the design was cats eating octopuses.

No wonder Merri needed the same size house as the other wives who had multiple children. She needed to store the inventory!

In the recruiting mlm sale's pitch, they play up making your own sales as the way to be successful and not that most money is made from downline sales (if you get them). The money from downlines is presented as an easy perk.

Well the underbelly of the whole gig was that they plugged the company as a way to be an autonomous entrepreneur when the people drawn to it and the culture fed on a level of dependency and group think that most could not see, much less critically evaluate it. It reminded me of scientology...certainly the grandiosity, denial and the basic premise the husband mentioned which was something like "The world is a just place" which means if something is going to sh#t...it must absolutely be your fault, because, well....all is as it should be.

I mean of course it’s a scam but I don’t see where they lied to anyone except the refund policy for which they were rightfully sued. I feel bad for the women who signed up but I also don’t feel like they were victims of a crime. Especially the woman who ended up bankrupt - sounds like she profited but just spent it all?
I’m super liberal fwiw and I recoil at the ahole couple running it talking about “personal responsibility” but I also don’t feel like this should be illegal. As long as they’re transparent about the pyramid, which it sounds like they were, I don’t see how there can be a law against it. Seems on par with churches, gambling, and weight loss plans to me.
Remember what the MLM expert said about how many levels of a pyramid there can be until there just aren't enough people in the world anymore? (I think it was 12 but I could be wrong.) That's why it should be illegal - because they sell the idea that there's an endless amount of money to be made but that's not actually true if you over-saturate the market with consultants. Eventually there won't be anyone to sell it to anymore.
But isn’t that common sense or am I just over simplifying it? I just don’t understand why ppl keep flicking to mlms. My 16 years old watched the series with me and asked “but didn’t these consultants profited from the scheme and make a lot of money by convincing other ppl with the same pitch that they got?” All I was thinking was their poor poor down lines.

It’s pretty good cookware and you can buy directly from their website.
I agree, I majorly HATE mlm's and I don't group pampered chef into all of those other scams... they actually have quality, useful products.
Watching Lularich was INSANE.
Those women acted like psychos, like they NEEDED to be in on this super secret and ther were going to die if they weren't.
I'm not sure how so many educated, smart women allow something so smarmy & icky facilitate and take over their lives...
buuuut I guess with that much shaming, manipulation, brainwashing and gaslighting (the owners are the GOAT's at gaslighing) I can have a little bit of empathy for them.
Go look at the one star comments on Amazon reviewing the documentary. The women who have not left the MLM cult are still this crazy.
