>Saging because long personal story.I knew this MLM hun who sold LuLaRoe and never liked her much but she was in my greater social circle. Just acquaintences for a couple years.
Then one day my husband suddenly has a seizure and is rushed to the hospital. Long story short, he has glioblastoma (fast-moving, incurable brain cancer) and needs emergency brain surgery.
He’s in the hospital for two weeks and I tell our friends what happened so they can come visit him.
The LuLaRoe bitch - without asking me - sets up a big LuLaRoe sale in her shop UNDER HIS NAME to “fundraise” a small percentage of the sales for him. I didn’t like this at all, because my husband and I both think LuLaRoe is a horrible company and don’t want any association with it. We certainly don’t want our family tragedy used as a sales strategy for LuLaRoe!
I didn’t want to start shit with her, and this was the day after his surgery when he’s still in the ICU, so I just politely asked if she could at least link our gofundme fundraising link on any page where she’s using my husband’s name to sell things. She was like “yeah :) sure! that’s fine!” and continued plastering my husband’s name all over her LuLaRoe social media.
Six months later, it occurs to me we’ve never seen a penny from this. I politely hit her up and ask her about the money. No response. I wait a week and hit her up again. No response again, and then she blocks me. I say “fuck it” and contact LuLaRoe corporate to ask what happened to the money that was allegedly being raised while she used my husband’s name and illness to sell shitty leggings.
I get no response from corporate but then the hun unblocks me and sends me this rage-filled message about HOW DARE I contact corporate and rat her out for ripping me off blah blah blah. At the end of the email, she explains that she decided not to give the proceeds of the fundraiser to us because I “didn’t sound very grateful” when she told me about the fundraiser.
This. Fucking. Bitch. The AUDACITY!
The day after my husband had brain surgery and was still in the ICU, she told us that she set up a LuLaRoe sale in his name using his illness for pity points, even though we already had our own fundraising, and then she has the nerve to claim I’m not grateful enough when she tells me?! The day she told me was right after his emergency brain surgery, when we still didn’t know if he’d ever walk again, and I still tried to be graci
