IMO, when she can monetize it, she’ll tell about it. I’m sure she’s got PR folks telling her how to get in front of this and make her look like the saint she is.
As for the LC, I get they provide grants. Bottom line however is that it’s an added layer of bureaucracy in order to disseminate funds that anyone could do by just doing some research. There ain’t no free lunch. Someone is getting paid.
She definitely needs the money - looking at Instagram - Has she always been a FabFitFun subscription partner? I also associate those posts with the “lesser” influencers.

There will be a book...I am sure of it! We will have to buy the book to find out. Remember Glennon Doyle...she totally made bank on her divorce selling tickets to her tour to hear the 'real story' of her and Abby. And now Untamed...it's their story to tell but man I feel sorry for her ex-husband. The whole world knows all his embarrassing secrets.

Interesting. I am surprised anyone donates to them anymore without transparency about what went down.

If you look them up and see the form 990, you can see all the charities they disbursed money to.
You can see who Pure disbursed to — but you don’t get to see what came in to LC and what amount was given to Pure for disbursement. You also don’t get to see what money off the top of admin fees LC pays before it gets to pure. It seems irregular that a charity that is a pass through to another charity feels the need to employ a CEO, other staff and a board of directors.

I have to agree.
In general she seems to try to use her platform to elevate other voices and not try to capitalize on them. But when it comes to LC, it just seems like a giant money grab. I don't understand why she doesn't just point people directly to the organizations, or to other charity rating groups that assess charities like LC claims to do, but for free. Especially now when we don't know why they're getting divorced, it seems very shady to ask for donations. How do we know the issue isn't a financial one having to do with LC? Not that I've ever donated to them, but I for sure wouldn't at this point without a statement from their lawyer saying that the organization is on the up and up, and until we know what each of BH and JH's relationship to LC will be post-divorce.

Legacy Collective is a scam. Just a way her to skim some dough from the top under the guise of good stewardship. Bull. Shit.

Seems like a stretch to “project” an unrelated situation onto her.
But, I will say, whatever he’s done, it appears she also thinks it will reflect poorly on her or her brand. She’s never had an issue with calling people out on their hypocrisy in the past.

I agree that it is looking like money was the driving factor. Probably not in the illegal sense though. A more likely scenario is that he recklessly invested and lost a lot of of their (“her income”) personal money (like with day trading).
I’m totally projecting a situation of some friends that the husband lost their entire retirement nest egg due to his ego driven moves with this version of “acceptable” gambling. My friends divorced because of his lying over several years not because of the actual money.

yes...it seems like something happened there with the money, given the circumstances. But if he is still on the board of advisors it can't be that bad, can it? Like if someone was embezzeling money they would not allow them to be a part of the org at all...hmmmm....
