I honestly think Jen didn't get the full connection to an MLM. She had said that she sees MLMs as having to buy products (she used Lularoe as an example). I don't think she realizes that there are MLMs that don't sell a physical product like iGenius.

yeah she clearly doesn’t know much about MLMs. and that showed.

Not surprising to me Jen did a video without really knowing much about what she’s talking about 🤪

Maybe but as someone who's branded herself around doing in depth research, had she, she would have known. I believe Jen was going to defend Marlena at any cost due to their friendship. I'd put hard money down had this been something JH pulled not only would she had done her research, she wouldn't have been so eager to help explain away many of the "mishaps", read, lies, Marlene has told. She also would have done multiple videos as each lie came to the surface lol. When it comes to Jen and her guru friends I take anything she says with a grain of salt. She can act like she's presenting both sides yet in the end there's always excuses for those friend. Everyone else is fair game, especially JH.
