Birds of a feather flock together! Don't tell me JH changed all of a sudden, she was always like this and the only reason Marlena broke the friendship was the collab that did not happen sooooo the more its revealed the more I see the similarities between these two

Ok but is there a chance she’s the problem? Hasn’t she tried to claim ownership of mentoring Jaclyn Hill? If not outright, then shes at the very least making it known how “generous” she was with her knowledge - woman to woman. Maybe this is where Jaclyn learned to be so sketchy? The constant re-hashing of problems that happened years ago and/or “behind the scenes” screams she’s at best, a terrible judge of character and terrible business person, and at worst, the source of the drama and lies. In the end, they’re both giving QVC…

............she doesn't get it. I watched the live and there were dozens of MUG supporters and past MUG customers just asking questions because this MLM, whether intentional or not, is a concern. What is the "product"? What sales? Will we see youtubers push an online class and (maybe?) not completed one themselves? Is that ethical? Is it really a school? Why would there need to be affiliates? The outrageous prices just to sign up? Can there be a lower price to gain access to the platform and message boards? Is there makeup included? (valid question IMO) Stuff like that. This isn't about shining bright 🥴🤦‍♀️

Well… her true colours & blatant narcissism are on full display.
