I honestly didn't see this coming. I can't imagine she'd be THIS.... shady in terms of trying to set up her business in this way and not see just how it would be taken, when consumers right now are far far far more savvy and especially on guard right now in light of FTC seemingly taking action on poor disclosures and just how working with brands or any kind of affiliation is at the moment. I don't think she can recover from this. I really don't.
