You should do a video on Jen Jones from Optavia(an MLM) ! She’s a pastors wife and has made millions off their Congregation without ever having to lose weight one time in her entire life !
I believe she’s just using the purity theme as another way to “morally” post photos of her old content. It takes the attention away from her seeming to be another woman who uses sex to sell and it also makes people forget about her scam. Even if it’s just for few minutes. It’s a way to roll out and reuse what got her to the top without being overt.
She’s probably going to become a preacher or pastor, it’s guaranteed money.
I just saw that she was wearing a KC/MO sweatshirt on her Instagram story
That's a great cause, I'll donate when my money comes in, I want to do more to help when I can 💖
I think we can all agree that the term "influencer" is one of the worst things to come out of the social media age.
Nice flag!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
influencers are known only with gen Z the rest dont care
@@xyz89011 That's not even remotely true. Millenials are literally the birth of the influencer.
@@xyz89011 Modern politicians are pretty much influencers also Hillsong is also a Mega church lol ahem ahem Carl lentz and pedophiles
Yes yes!
She used to say she’d talk to you one on one about Jesus, for $25.00. She’s a scammer, NOT a Christian.
Wow!!!😲 thats insane!!!
They're kind of one and the same thing no? Religion and bullshit scams like Britney's.
@@MsLiberty101 She also is a narcissist
But christianity is based on a scam.
Surely there are priests and ministers who would do this for free?
You know someone’s apology is crap when they say “I apologize if you feel….”
No girl, just apologize because you were wrong.
When I was employed in the retail sector I issued bs apologies like this all the time😂.
If she really believed that she was dressed "immodestly" in her old photos, would she not be deleting the old photos as opposed to reposting them to show people how immodestly she used to dress??!!!
I know right
Yes that realistic?? Deleting 50 photos on her Instagram no...That's not realistic
...cause she'll claim that God already forgave her, or some other b.s. People like her are not to be trusted whatsoever 🚫🚫🚫
But hey, she knows that booty sells
It’s almost as if she is full of shit or something.
Damn that man is “protecting your purity” but did not serve and protect the black folks of Kansas that’s crazy….
He only likes exercising violence, which this "purity" bs is just emotional violence and showing certain women that they are only property to be bargained with
@@deltasaves this 🎯 it’s gross.
His behavior is still troublesome. There was an instagram story where B went to Target alone for 1 item and came back with 3 other items that were small like gogi berries, micellar water, and a mascara (or eyeliner?) and he was getting really snarky with her for spending money. She laughed it off like it was a joke, but personally I'm very concerned that she is going to get herself into an abusive relationship based on his attitude and his past. Despite the scamming, no one deserves to be put into that situation and the fact that he wants to marry her so quickly after a short amount of time knowing eachother has red flags waving everywhere.
@@thismanatemyson and i am assuming he's not faithful to her or won't be for long
There is no purity. They've lived together for months. It's all a lie.
The WORST MLM experience I ever had was when my daughter was in elementary school. She was invited to a birthday party of a classmate but when I got there they just sent the kids to the backyard to play while they trapped the mom's into their MLM presentation. They threw parties for every holiday and I never brought my daughter to any of their parties ever again. I felt bad for their kids.
I would of taken out my phone and played a game through your their presentation and just tuned them out... gross how can they do to those poor kids they will never have friends bc of their moms behavior. That’s some bs emotional abuse right there. Hope they turn out ok...
Wow that’s insane how how they did that. That’s laughable to be honest lol they threw a birthday party and then made y’all sit through a presentation lol
I once got angry at a coworker who invited me to a "girls night in" party that ended up being a MLM presentation for beauty products. However, using a kid's birthday party as an excuse to throw one is a new low..
I also feel bad for their kids.
OH MY GOODNESS! This is ABSOLUTELY HORRID!
The kids got free play dates. I feel bad for the moms.
Learning about what her husband did has completely ruined my day and made me feel incredibly sick.
His current job at the pharmaceutical company sounds SUPER SHADY as well.
I was raised in a very toxic religious environment, and I remember wearing a pair of pink tights under my skirt one week at church. I did this to be modest, to not show my legs, to not "tempt" DISGUSTING OLD PERVERTS. Well, those pink tights were a distraction. Sitting there in a church lesson and they actually called me out. Saying that my tights were too distracting and it would make men look at me. I felt so much shame and self hate and I felt just so horrible inside. I was 14. I was 14!! I had never even kissed a boy and I was trying so hard and instead of saying hey you gross ass old man looking at children you should stop, they told ME not to be a distraction. So backwards. So disgusting. So glad I got out.
Thank you for the content I love your videos ❤
I grew up very similar and I totally understand your story. It is a repulsive, unsafe environment for any female child. It makes me so angry looking back on it. I firmly believe that religion like this is child abuse.
If a grown man can be sexually distracted by a child for any reason, that man is the problem! So gross! Glad you got away from that environment ❤
I’m sorry you had that experience! I would be traumatized 😢
Currently going through this. Makes me so mad
So sorry for your pain. These men in churches make me wonder why they even look at young girls. Pinky tights on 14 yr. Old is ok.
As an actual trainer, this made me so upset and sad for people that actually are trying to change. Please if someone has over 500k followers, they won't give you customized training. There are thousands of others that are trying to get her attention as well. Get a trainer that focuses on YOU. Make sure they are qualified!!
Exactly
I wondered if this person has any training in fitness or nutrition at all.
I swear the best thing I did was find a small group fitness gym. The trainer is personally focused and you have a small group of people to connect with. And it's far more affordable then personal training. And heck, knowing my situation she even gave me a discount on some services so I could stick around.
Serious advice for people scammed in situations like Brittany Dawn's customers: try calling your credit card company to see if you can get a chargeback. My credit card company helped me get refunds for a book lost in the mail, Broadway show tickets cancelled due to covid with no refunds, and a pulse oximeter from a scam company that didn't actually exist. Just make sure to contact the bookstore owner/ticket seller/non-existent health company first. But if they won't budge, credit card companies can be a great resource.
Great info, thanks for sharing!
@@notthegoodgirl absolutely! An old boss of mine told me about this. It rocked my world. So I like it pass it on. 😊
Thank you for the info! So call up the place of business first then the cc company if they wouldn't budge correct?
@@audreym3908 not the person who made the initial comment obviously, but yeah in the past that's worked out for me and if it seems like it's an out and out scam company also see if you can get your bank to initiate a block on any future charges from them though I think most of them will just do that automatically if you try and get a chargeback issued
@@dww7094 ok and thank you!
You know a community that is literally the sweetest with no drama? The sewing community :) these peeps are funny, do collabs and everything, but no drama! Even if you don't sew, if you're looking for a positive CZcams niche, sewing/crochet is very unproblematic and not judgemental at all
*Edit: why would she date that man????? 😶
Also ASMR mostly! Love that lol
Welllll there IS a small drama in sewing community, Cathy Hay and her fundraising for Peacock Dress. But this is no way near drama in fitness and beauty community )
"I jumped into an industry that had no instruction manual." There are literally hundreds of instruction manuals.
Literally😂there’s even multiple degree programs
She’s a demon in sheeps skin, never taking accountability . Never apologizing for her stealing now she’s hiding behind Christianity to soften the blow if she was black she would be a,ready in her 3rd year of a 8 year sentence, fraud.
😂😂😂😂 literally thousands...but the stuff she needed help with is common sense
Woah. This was a real rabbit hole. I can't believe this person became even more toxic than before....excellent work, i really love the direction your channel has taken. Very thorough work!
I can believe it.
I believe it 100%. She's even worse now. Disgusting person.
I’ve lost myself in this 😂
She is a master manipulator and knew which group would be easy to trick. Look at Rachel Hollis. Christian women BLINDLY support other Christian woman. I grew up in a radicalized home (many of her modest outfits would be considered still immodest) and saw this my whole life. That's also why MLMs run rampant.
@@rachelsmith4383 Yup.
I just went on her page . It's crazy to me that people actually support her and her husband, as if they are in a trance . It's beyond weird to me how people like this get a platform, misuse the platform and still have a large following / supporters after .
I've concluded that people are gullible and vulnerable
Well said.
I agree and what’s crazy is I see she’s trying to sell people things that she makes a commission off of and I’m just like “how can anyone really believe that she’s telling the truth” ?! Makes no sense. Lol
there's so many influencers like this, they're the modern day version of snake oil salesmen. I've seen some where they have monthly subscriptions for their crappy service, no tx i won't be buying that, it's an insult what they try to sell.
There’s a line in Machiavelli‘s The Prince that says, and I’m paraphrasing, “there will always be those willing to be deceived. “
I’m surprised you didn’t use the video of her being confronted by someone in person about being scammed by her.
I’m a Christian and it makes me angry seeing her sell $600 “retreats”. I can’t believe there’s people willing to give her money for anything tho
I’m a believer too. What’s interesting about her is how fast she got an online following after becoming a “Christian” when baby Christian’s are discouraged from having leadership roles so quickly. She became a believer and suddenly she’s an expert on purity, on spiritual warfare, etc.? She’s not qualified to be leading anyone in marriage advice. This responsibility usually falls on leaders who have years of experience and have worked thru marriage faithfully
@@karmiliaandrade9508amen
Her holding the piece of paper saying “Jesus wants your heart not your hustle” has me laughing my head off 😂
It has always been so hard for me to reconcile how women are treated like we cannot make it through a day without the assistance of a man but we are given such power (blame) for causing men to “stumble” and have impure thoughts. Soooo which is it? Are we helpless or wildly powerful. It cannot be both. 🤷🏻♀️
You’ve hit the nail on the head with that comment. Sexist arguments usually are so devoid of logic it makes your head hurt.
They can't make up their minds so they transfer that to everything and everyone else being at fault for influencing that indecision.
Classic narcissism.
It's not me.
It's you.
And you.
And you.
(Anyone but me)
I think balance is key
We are objects sent here to put men off their path. This means that we are not as smart as men. I know it doesn’t really make sense. I think men really just want a little helper for themselves so they pollute women’s minds with garbage so we feel like we need them in reality they need us. It’s been reported that single men are miserable while single women are happy. As long as they continue with this crap it will stay that way.
@@omnistpagan3282 yep. Suicide rates rates are higher among single men and married women. What does that tell you? Who benefits more from marriage?
I wish I had a dollar for every time that I’ve seen these stories where people get caught scamming or doing something foul, suddenly become “hyper Christian” then use Jesus as a prop to make more money and to slander other people. It’s so damn predictable…🤢
This 💯 It just seems like a manipulation tactic and/or an excuse to push toxic positivity on people who complain about her behavior
@@Nivieee I agree
I know so many MLM top leaders who play the Christian card!
@@erikkasepiphany me too!
I am tired of people bashing religion. I pledged my loyalty to Cthulhu 10 years ago and everything has gotten better in my life. #LoveThyBrineyTenticles
I grew up in a suburb north of Atlanta and purity culture was so deeply embedded into the local consciousness & society!! In eighth grade (2007) at my public middle school, we had to each sign abstinence pledges for a grade. You had to sign it and then get signatures from 2 adults.
The casual racism and political agendas of the local mega churches was also disgusting, but that’s a whole nother story. I moved far tf away from there as soon as I got the chance
We stan the “F**k Purity Culture” movement!! 👏🏻
@@SoCalJellybean What's wrong with purity? What's wrong with saving sex for marriage instead of screwing every dude with a penis? I mean at the least it saves you from VD, right?
Impeccably written and produced. Seriously, the pacing was perfect - neither too rushed, nor too sluggish - and the editing was outstanding. Loved it!
On the whole purity culture thing - I would want to remind any person placing the blame of "lustful thoughts" on women that the Bible (Matthew 5:29) says that if your eye causes you to sin that you should GOUGE IT OUT! It is very clear that your thoughts and your sins are your own responsibility and not the responsibility of those you sin after... just saying.... maybe these men should be gouging their eyes out on TV rather than blaming young women.
Love it
Well said
Thankyou.
Love Australia x
Yess!! That basically it's better for a man to cut his own hand off than to assault a woman. Another reason I love Him!!
Not only that but it also says that if you look at a woman with lust you are committing adultery. But the Bible also tells us not to be stumbling blocks to our brethren. So it’s a mutual show of respect for each other as well as ourselves.
This is the second documentary that i have watched from you, and i think that they are amazing, editing and story telling wise. You are so talented!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
I agree! She does the most beautifully highly educated videos out there and she deserves 1 million followers
Yes very professional videos!
@@notthegoodgirl I will fourth that sentiment!!! Awesome video I can't wait to see more from you!
So agree. You're a great documentary-maker.
There's no way you can track thousands of clients, let alone, coach them and, how you can promise phone sessions as well is beyond me. Counseling is more than a business transaction, which is why it's not a great business.
I remember in middle school (public school by the way) they had an assembly that ended in us all having to sign a piece of paper saying we wouldn’t have sex. I signed it without even thinking because I was in school and in school at that age I followed instructions that were given to me. I remember one girl starting to cry and saying she would not sign it. It caused a scene where she was removed by the principle! She got in trouble...years later as an adult I realized how fucked up that was. Purity culture is fucked.
That girl who refused to sign and took a stand in the face of that much pressure and adversity is my HERO. That was a pure character moment for her and I love that.
@@iamV10010 I went to a charter school in Texas and we were forced to sign abstinence pledges in 8th grade. I was the only one who refused to sign. Week of detention was worth it🤪 it’s one of the moments I look back to, to remember my values when I feel lost. Your comment made me happy ❤️
I hope she's ok, that reaction makes me think she was being abused or something. Purity culture is extra harmful for abuse victims.
Showing my teenagers this. So disturbing these influencers get away with it! And then hiding behind Jesus! Gross!!! It shocks me how people don't see through this, and they believe her!!
If she is now a homeowner, I hope her victims can get a lien placed against her home to get their money back. By the way: Your videos are SO GOOD! I’m glad I subscribed 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Daddy owns her house. So when her soon-to-be husband shows his colors, he cant take anything from her financially, legally.
@@nidianunez7950 Dang. 😑
@@nidianunez7950 That’s how it’s supposed to be that’s what father’s are for to protect 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️!!!!!
@@nidianunez7950 funny you say that about her fiancé cuz I’ve been wondering about him. Something just seems off not sure what it is. So I’m curious what you know or think about him?
@@angelaburress8586 yea but in this case they actually encourage her whole scams.
Not sure why you don't have more subscribers considering how well spoken you are, and how thoroughly you backtrack and keep it chronological. I struggle to engage when people retell events, but when the speaker sounds like you do - it's really engaging for me, thank you for the work you put into your videos, it shows! 😁
"Modest is hottest" still reinforces the idea that young girls and women need to be "hot." They are still being told that it's their appearance that matters. And why did she want to continue to show off her photos in skimpy outfits while professing to want to be
modest? Phoney thru and thru.
That because she doesn’t believe it herself she misses how “she used to be”
I had no idea Brittany was still relevant. She's just gone from scamming one vulnerable group to another. Your research and production quality is always top notch. Hope you keep gaining more subs, Josie!
Well, my antenna went up when I googled her and she's listed as a 'Christian' influencer. Says it all, really.
#1.... I'm a certified personal trainer. One of the things stressed most in my studies is that you CAN NOT provide meal plans because it is not in your scope of practice. You can give advice and guidance, but not prescribed meal plans. #2 There is NO WAY any online influencer can Individualize a workout plan for everyone on their own without limiting the amount of people they take on or working 24 hours a day. It's gonna be a generic workout.
#3 If you want personalized training, look for a personal trainer at your gym or in your community. It's usually worth it .
Correct
I love her “smeared” mascara at 7:35 😂 give me a break! That mascara was STAGED! Lol
🤣
I know I’m late but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a full length piece on the “True Love Waits” and “purity movement” of the 90’s!!!! I was made to sign the TLW pledge at 13. Yes made. For real- peer pressure from my Baptist youth group. I wasn’t taught anything really about protection, self respect, any of that. I was taught to “Keep em closed for Christ!” It did so much more harm than good. I’m new to you but you’re amazing and insanely talented.
Yes! Such a push for that. I forgot about it completely. It’s creepy to think about now.
This seriously needs to be discussed!!
It’s not surprising she is now a spiritual “influenced” since she scammed so many and often those high up in religious spaces tend to be scammers or at least dishonest. No shade just the truth.
Most MLMs are very religious, some of their group encouragement meetings/speeches sound very much like televangelists
This is why I don’t go to church, I feel like they’re scams😅
@@mselizabet52 I've seen MLMs being compared to cults and one joke I've heard is that the acronym means "Mormons losing money" because of how pervasive they're are in places like Utah
I hate " modest is hottest" -modesty is literally about not being hot and I have no issue with that if that is what someone wants but that slogan is just cringey.
Modesty is more about not flaunting yourself, not putting yourself forward or trying to make others feel bad/less-than. A lot of the New Testament verses about modesty (the ones many Christians use to concoct rules about skirt length) are actually admonishing people not to be argumentative in church meetings (putting selves forward) and not to wear super expensive stuff and show off their wealth, or not to rely on appearance as a source of value. People can be beauty or hot or sexy or whatever, just because they are, without being immodest. Even the idea of "hot" is in the observer's perspective, not the person's control. Immodest is if they flaunt or put those attributes forward as their source of value, or use those attributes to make other people feel bad. Brittany Dawn is just as immodest now as she was before, because her attitude is "look at me" regardless of what she wears.
And I'm fairly certain that flaunting how modest you are is definitely not modest behavior. She's like the Pharacees her best friend Jesus condemned in the New Testament.
I remember growing up in the church, we would be encouraged to dress up when going to church. It was like a pageant, for the women.
I remember I used to get up to go to the toilet during the service, someone pulled me up and told me to stop going to the toilet, because it looked like I was parading myself down the aisle when I got out of my seat and walked to the foyer to go to the bathroom, because I 'looked too pretty'
I would have been 14 at the time.
We were also taught that our 'purity' was like a pie, and anytime we even kissed a boy we gave slice of ourselves away that we could never get back.
I wore a purity ring, I made out with my boyfriend (I was 16) and broke down crying because I thought I betrayed 'God'. When one of the stones fell out of it I was convinced that it was God condemning me.
The grip that the church has on its women is a chokehold. It's deadly.
Sad. I used to follow Brittany Dawn back in 2014-ish, she always seemed "faith" based, got married to childhood sweetheart and then things started to take off for her. I never bought anything from her and eventually unfollowed her. I can't believe everything that has happened since. Scary.
so frustrating that she got a ppp loan when many other businesses, including the actual legitimate fitness center I worked for, did not.
Avoid government dependence as much as possible. It always comes back to bite us.
That fiance is dangerous. His body language is very threatening, and he has a history of violence. Brittany's dangerous too, but in a different way. She needs to demonstrate her repentance by refunding everyone she scammed. As a recovering evangelical, this video roils my innards.
Sounds like they're perfect for each other.
I think we know how he voted.
Yes! Serious dead eyes. I can't imagine what happens to her behind closed doors.
I'm scared for her
@@amandanunnelly1377 I want from fundamentalist cult to spiritually wack evangelical megachurch, and now im recovering from all of that.
They always turn to Jeebus when they get caught misbehaving, lol
It's not surprising that there are so many "influencers." After all, they are rarely, if ever, held accountable, either legally or financially, for their actions.
So glad you covered Brittany Dawn...it blows my mind she has been able to get away with so much over the years. It's all so sad.
I never understood how she's still got a platform. Thanks for covering.
She's a Christian TikTok
This is why I don’t follow influencers. All scammers
As someone who had a baby at 16 (he's 11 now) I hate this girl and everything she supposedly stands for. I followed her when she was doing the fitness stuff before she got busted for scamming and I had a bad feeling about her the whole time so I never spent any money luckily. But this religious BS and her blatantly racist and hateful partner just makes me sick. Purity culture is responsible for so much harm to women and young girls both mentally and physically.
Part of me wants all influencers demonetized but there are some really talented content creators out there that of course should be compensated for their hard work. It’s such a unregulated industry unfortunately. Good job shedding light on these topics!!
They get plenty from ads, sponsors, affiliates, patron, buy a coffee on and on...enough already. No more fake courses.
this is awesome!!!!! this girl needs to be talked about more, she is so harmful to our upcoming culture of girls. as someone who grew up under a pastor and was shamed in my womanhood, thank you for this. it’s healing to see more and more women pointing these things out online.
Thanks for sharing. I was raised in the same environment. I hope you know your self worth now; you deserve to. Take care! ❤️❤️❤️
@@notthegoodgirl thank you, you too🥺😭❤️
Yessssss
Yes! So true, the things she says online are so harmful and hurtful.
Why do you refer to her as a girl and not a woman?
Well, if she ever experiences a "domestic event" she'd best [not] call the cops. What he did to the gentleman he abused is very likely what could happen to her--or worse. She hasn't found a real prince charming in this character. Perhaps one day she'll recognize the red flags all over this guy. She should exercise extreme caution. He's not who she thinks he is.
I'm from Dallas and I'm SO GLAD she is being held accountable. About damn time.
This is a great documentary. Thoughtful and honest without being mean spirited. The fact that you called out her Paycheck Protection Loan is good investigative journalism. Love your content.
Thank you so much. 💜
This really should go viral. She’s misrepresenting Christianity and fraudulent in more ways than one. I truly hope the victims continue to pursue legal action. 😔
Epon This is a perfect representation of American Evangeliclownism rather.
@@youknowitstrue3826 they don’t even read the Bible and call themselves Christian’s lmao
@@eliza1826 Evangelicals probably read the Bible plenty, they are just biblically illiterate like all Christians.
How is she misrepresenting christianity when she's doing nothing different to what christian influencers, ie priests and preachers, have been doing for 2000 years? Many go so far as to demand 10% of a person's income and threatens them regularly with eternal damnation if they don't give their money. Even in the bible Paul and his gang killed people who withheld money from them.
Can't wait to see more of your docs. Well produced. Keep up the amazing work
The entire concept of 'Influencers' is absolutely ludicrous to me! Maybe it's my age, I am a 60s baby, does that make me cynical? I simply cannot understand why I would be remotely interested in what some perfect stranger orders at Starbucks, eats for breakfast, or how they hang their toilet paper!
Is it any wonder so many individuals do not understand boundaries these days?
How could she possibly fulfill contacting every customer that bought her weight plan? There simply would not be enough hours in a day, and good luck with refunds, did these individuals honestly think they would recoup all their money? Can people no longer think for themselves?
Simply ludicrous!
I read an article in nursing school in towns where they taught safe sex the teen pregnancy rate dropped significantly 75-80% and in some cases 90+%! awesome video! you show the rise and fall and i’m here for all of it!
Not surprising. I got pregnant in 1992, age 16, Darlington, SC. At that time, I was the only one pregnant in my high school. I made a stupid decision one day to have sex with a male friend. I was ashamed, I dropped out, got my GED, then graduated from Job Corps to provide for my son (his dad died when my baby was 5 months old). Had I understood contraceptives, I may have done it differently. Not that I regret my child. He's 29 and married now and I have no regrets. But I've taught all my kids how damn HARD teen parenthood is! And I also made it clear if they impregnate anyone, they'll be taking responsibility for that. Kids deserve to know how to be safe. Teens get curious and no child deserves to die for natural curiosity.
@@GenXfrom75 I had my son at 19, and like you would not have changed a thing he is my world. I have instilled in him the importance of safe sex what that means etc. He knows he can come to me or his dad and we will answer his questions and help him with whatever he needs. We do not condone sex at a young age at all but want him to know that you need to be safe. congratulations on your hard work to get your GED and graduation from job corp, you are such a strong and amazing woman!
@@lalagordo Teens being pregnant?!?
@@lalagordo Wh- what do you mean what’s wrong with teen pregnancy?? 😂
I respect what others said about cherishing their children from unplanned/teen pregnancies. For me, I was too young and too naive. I would have made a terrible mother at that time, and just pushed that cycle of neglect and dysfunction forward. I'm so thankful that I could make the choice that was right for me. I know I did the right thing, not a doubt in my mind. x
It's great to shine spotlights on these kinds of petty grifts. When people only pay attention to the big names, it's easy to forget how people can take advantage of others at any scale, and in fact the most successful aren't usually the biggest.
Just found this channel - started with the Allison Mack documentary. Appreciate you for putting a lot of time and effort on these.
Pure grifter trash. Thank you for such a well composed video. Love your content and the authenticity of it. Sharing this wide and far! Keep going… I have no doubt your channel is going to explode in popularity…. it’s such a great tool to help educate people on the dangers and inconvenient truths of grifters, scammers, ‘influencers’ and social media.
How did she not find a "blueprint" for doing fitness and nutrition? People go to school for that all the time. Influencer, sure that is make it up as you go.
Because she’s scamming people who wholeheartedly subscribe to anti-intellectualism. Their self belief is the same as academic qualifications
Ugh these evangelicals are so gross! “You have no idea how difficult it is, you have no idea” gross!
They’re sickening, evil hypocrites.
Right?! They’re pure evil. Great video! 🙌🏻
Apologizing to "anyone that FEELS was scammed" is NOT an apology. Also...how did she have to read her apology? With true remorse the words would have been there.
Ok...going on watching this but this bit alone says it all
They always turn spiritual as there are many mugs waiting for someone to follow
I used to be a personal trainer and the gym I was working at this member used to be online trained from Brittany Dawn, at first she raved about this girls program / meal plan and then months later came back to tell me how her meal plan messed up her metabolism and cause her serious health problems. She had to work towards reversing everything and getting her metabolism back on track. It was a long road for this girl to recover. Cant believe she scammed so many people!
"And isn't scared to hurt another woman's feeling to protect yours" this phrase worries me a lot maybe bc it's the observation of a man who abused a Black person for no reason when he was a cop
I loved Brittany years ago when she was a fitfluencer. I lived for her what I eat in a day videos. Looking back I had an eating disorder AS I was following her. I had been battling one for a long time already but I was masking it as a healthy lifestyle. She very much got me into intermittent fasting veganism which lead to undereating. I missed her downfall I think bc I was pregnant and stopped dieting. But I was so confused by her hyper Christianity. As someone who has fallen out of the belief system myself she just screammmmsss crazy.
Iv noticed when people don't know what to do after scandal they lean hard in to Jesus, nothing wrong with religion but you have to question the motivation behind their sudden flip.
And some go back to what they were originally doing after being vocal about their "faith" gets the public's attention again.
I just recently saw her on TikTok, and couldn’t believe that you made a vid on her. Thanks for the info. Also purity culture is very sad. Even girls and youth who have been taped feel like they have no value. We have such rigid ideas about our own biology and it is so unhealthy and harmful for us. But this purity culture keeps thriving I hope that it eventually will die out. Everyone is entitled to do with their body what they want, but you should not shame others who choose a different path than you.
Excellent video. I just found you and subscribed. I like how you use and reference multiple sources and media-photos, reports, videos, websites, etc. This type of expose is important to helping us all avoid scammers. Keep up the good work!
Brittany is the kind of woman who calls the police on her neighbors children because they are riding their bikes up and down the street and being “too loud“. She’s also the type of woman who goes to Church and And acts like a saint, but then she probably goes home and talks smack about every single person in the church and gossips about everyone
That's how most of them are. I used to wait tables on Sundays, and that's all they did. Eat and talk shit about what happened at Church.
She is the one who goes to church and scam people at the same time 😁
@@NatBKievthat’s “the Righteous Gems”
This is AMAZING and honestly just the tip of the iceberg with her. She’s given away a dog that no longer fit her aesthetic, she lies about being in abusive relationships (anyone she breaks up with, she eventually claims abuse) she’s had SEVERAL failed businesses while trying to scramble and figure out how to make money after the scandal, she neglected her horse to near death and she gives out terrible medical advice regularly regarding birth control. She’s a mess and i genuinely wish she couldn’t pray on women and women of faith. It’s sad people look up to her.
Don't forget about the horse she abandoned. The woman who owns the barn where the horse was boarded said (after BD slammed the barn on social media) BD never visited her horse and when the horse got sick the owner had to pay the vet bill.
She also has an ACTIVE eating disorder. She has never recovered ! The only reason she is thin is due to disordered eating. She went "vegan" and recently shared she passed out due to malnutrition and is no longer vegan (she did it to keep calories low).
So……she’s a train wreck at the moment. Or a hot mess.
Omg that's so horrible ! She shouldn't be allowed to have any more animals !!! 😡
She is so disgusting. 🤢
In what Clown World is it accepted practice for law enforcement to foot sweep a suspect to the ground? Especially if they are complying? Bloody hell.
I enjoy your reporting. Ingenious! A category not flooded with a million CZcamsrs covering the same stories. Thanks for the good information! Keep up the great work!
Really appreciated that tangent into purity culture, as an ex-vangelical who still has family preaching that BS all the time. Hearing you calmly and clearly poke all the holes into everything I've been trying to unravel myself for years was a really great, succinct reminder of all of the flawed and harmful ways of thinking that I grew up with.
Christianity is not BS, but the people around you were and are. Jesus warned us about "wolves in sheep's clothing." Don't blame Him because others use Him to deceive you or try to control you including your family. It's your PERSONAL relationship with Him not "influencers" or TV mega jet charlatan preachers that you put your faith in. The Devil has done his duty if you let "his" disciples determine your salvation. Pick yourself up and go directly to Him without needing anyone else in between.
Purity is not a culture, it's what the Bible teaches & without holiness no one will see God.
@@godmakesallthingsnew2626 purity culture was literally invented in the 20th century. It is harmful. In no where in the bible did it say teach young folks nothing about safe sex, make them sign agreements they dont understand, shame young girls for not being modest enough, give kids punishment for refusing to adhere, adjust their outfits to "protect men and boys from temptation", make public spectacles of people who, according to them, dont practice the culture well enough, to ask details about minors' sex life, discredit contraception, teach kids that those who dont dress modestly dont love the lord and are walking on the path of the devil, etc, etc, etc. Purity culture exists, and it was never in the bible. It was literally invented for conservative fathers to "protect their daughters from sin" and aids in the famous victim blaming of SA victims because the outfits they wore were "tempting". People just use quotes from the bible to support it and say "see, the bible says so!" When in reality they added many of the details themselves.
There is a difference between someone who made the concious, fully aware decision to wait until marriage by their own choice, and purity culture.
Brittany is literally a scammer. She also claims she is pure, but TikTok has prove that her and her fiancé literally live together. How do ppl actually purchase her retreat tickets!? Wild
People can live together without sleeping together?
Edit: I realized this sounds like I’m a Brittany stan- I’m not, just pointing out that the fact that they live together doesn’t really mean anything.
@@rVnsunshine yeah, sure. They live together and they don’t give in to the flesh. 😂. Do you have any common sense?
@@HM-yr1vr maybe your right but you can’t prove it so doesn’t matter
Literally
There are many people that live together and wait till marriage... also her living with her fiancé shouldn’t be the breaking point for you... there seems to be way more serious things that this woman has done that should show you her true colors.... but claiming she’s not pure because of that small reason isn’t one of them.
I never got this "influencer" nonsense. Those people can't care less about anything that I find important or relevant, and I have no time to waste paying attention to their lifestyles.
“ you have no idea how difficult it is…
*You have no idea* “
God that made me laugh with how creepy it is 😂
This is why I don’t throw religion onto my kid. She goes to a private preschool but I’m not going to tell her it’s Jesus or nothing. This is the reason why. There’s too much shame culture and scams for me to embrace religion.
Shame and scams are from people though, not religion itself, and not from God. The problem isn't with religion, but the way certain people interpret it. So, you can and should instill morals into your kid and a love, relationship and reverence for God, but you don't have to take an extreme stance. There are many, many, many mainline denominations in all varieties. I'm thinking you haven't checked into this though?
Jesus and religion, are not mutually exclusive/synonymous.
when you showed that clip of the man telling women they had no idea how hard men have it... I think I blacked out in rage.
thanks for this informed and well done video!
Men are required to produce way more than women.period.
@@DaddysDollxo 😂😂😂
@@DaddysDollxo We know but he could've explained that instead of just making the statement.
@@DaddysDollxo produce way more what?
For real though. You could tell by the look on his face is he’s up there talking, he’s fallen off that old purity wagon more than a few times.
Wanting to remain pure until marriage, as a personal decision is not wrong in and of itself. This is the decision I personally made. But overall purity culture is extremely problematic, and Joshua Harris has backtracked everything he said in his books. That’s a really good deep dive to go down. And he actually does still consider himself a Christian, just a very different open minded kind of Christian, with his own set of beliefs and faith.
16:19 that fan running in the back reminds me of either the Steve Wilkos show or the Jerry Springer show XD
When you said cop from KCMO my jaw dropped. My ex was on that dept for three years before we divorced. When I tell you the shit that goes down on that dept I mean they deserve each other. I understand he’s no longer on that dept but all the same…Yikes
Also, on that note, I was raised in the IFBC with purity culture and married the pastor’s son. Was a teen mom at 19 after I got married at 18. I had no idea what was going on and later found out that the whole relationship was a sham for him to look good in front of his family. Purity culture can be devastating.
She's found another scam. You know if Jesus came back and he was too dark, they'd say he was fake 😂
Exactly 🤣
Christians know Jesus is an Israeli and they are dark skinned sooooo
I’m sure if Jesus came back today people like you would crucify him all over agin
@@alibrown6628 Jesus is Middle Eastern and Brown. 😭
I’m so happy you call these scammers out. You should never run out of shows. Thanks so very much.
As an actual Christian, it shames me to see people use the Lord’s name in vain like this. They WILL be judged.
It reminds me of Matthew where it says “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Matthew 7:20-23 KJV
Yikes. I hope the fear of God comes over her and she truly repents.
And what if she is truly saved, who are you to judge?
OMG, I can not believe she is still around, I use to follow her way back prior to everything and had already stopped when everything broke. This is just crazy about how she changed herself to something else. The purity thing is crazy to me too because I remember when she went through her first divorce and it was because she got caught cheating. She is just so shady and it makes me sick seeing people using their faith to make money in such a scammy way.
She cheated?? That he was abusive or something.
I stopped following her when she cheated on her husband. She became a fraud to me.
You hit the nail on the head with purity culture. It is so toxic.
It's terrible west of the Mississippi...in a few states anyways 😡🙄🤮
@@nitalightell336 her fiance is such a "too cool for school guy" why am i not shocked he was a cop who was also prejudice .. well itdoes explain her "rap is satanic" drivel she spews on a video
Right? Modest clothing my *ss...
Where's their men modest clothing when they show their big muscles with tight T-shirts ? Oh yeah nowhere cause it's only immodest on women. 😂 Pure misogyny.
The Hallelujah made me choke on my coffee🤭🤣
As a Certified Master fitness trainer I've seen this in the industry time and time again.🚨👑🚨 So you all know... If someone gives you a fitness plan without doing a fitness assessment then they are not a professional. It's extremely irresponsible to give anyone a fitness plan without assessing the individuals fitness level first. 💯💜💎💜💥🌟💥🌟
Jordan and BD have also lived together for months now. This "pure" thing is a lie.
Sounds like a very lost and insecure girl who's brand is ironically the compete opposite. Which sadly, is the norm with influencers like this.
Why would anyone hire a 'Spiritual Influencer who is at a chronic stage of Spiritual destitution?
The fyre festival reference made me cackle!!!!😂
After watching a lot of the interviews you've done on camera, I just picture you having some great reactions to this woman's bs while recording.
Hah! Soo many reactions while researching. My husband gets to see/hear all about them.😂
I was scrolling through Instagram one day and saw her “before and after” photo. I was AMAZED! She looked amazing! I started following her right away. I watched most of her videos and started learning from what she did. (Just from what she said, NOT a program)
After I learned she went from 170ish lbs to an eating disorder then got to the weight she is. I was very hesitant. (Let’s be clear I admire ANYONE who over comes their eating disorder!!!) but for me I thought she went from a similar weight as me to a healthier person through eating properly and working out. (Not from way under weight to healthy weight). This was the red flag for me. She never really told newer followers how she over came the eating disorder. It was always the story of “I went from 170 lbs down to this by healthy eating and working out”. This made me not want to buy one of her programs because I was hesitant if they “actually worked”.
I’m sorry for all of those who got scammed. :/
(Also I did stop following her, I honestly looked up to her. I feel like a fool for doing that. 🙇🏽♀️)
I’m so glad I watched this. I never knew anything about her fitness work. I followed because of the faith content. I’m sick that her husband was an abusive cop. I wish there was something worse I could do than just unfollow…sickening
I don’t understand how this could’ve gotten worse than it already was, yet she really was able to do it. WOW.
12:58 Even if Lady Gaga did wear a Mockingjay pin at the inauguration, I don't see how there would be anything wrong with that. That would be awesome. If Katniss stood up against a government that put children into gladiatorial combat, Lady Gaga can protest a government that separated children from their parents and locked them up in work camp-like conditions.
Plus, you could easily make an argument for either side of the argument. Liberals could see the pin as a sign of support from Gaga just as a QAnon supporter could look at it and say she was silently raging against the establishment and was going to be a part of reinstating Trump. It’s such a nothingburger of a claim.
I would agree with you, if Lady Gaga wasn't involved with a Satanic p-doph1le ring. There's a lot of things you don't know about Hollywood and your so-called "elected leaders".
@@nikkilengyel Please read a book, go outside and touch some grass, come back to reality. Funny how it's only ever left-leaning leaders, or simply just not conservative that you people try to call p*dos when we all know the mass ring is actually the Catholic Church and that's been proved.
@@kekethekhaleesi You forgot the Jehovah's Witnesses. There are definitely pedophiles across the political spectrum, and they're in positions of power everywhere, but it's ridiculous to try and nail the label to people you simply don't agree with and make reaches all the time.
@@kekethekhaleesi You're telling me to read a book and come back to reality, yet you're making an awful lot of assumptions about me. Please point out where I ever said that it's only liberals? The Catholic church, lots of religious organizations and cults, and both liberal and conservative politicians are involved. Evil does not discriminate based on political affiliation. This notion is yet another trick to create division. I don't believe that it's as simple as saying "it's only liberal people". Life isn't that black and white. When I said "elected leaders", I'm talking in general about the smokescreen of looking like politicians are actually chosen by the people, when it could not be further from the truth, no matter where you are in the world - whether it's left wing or right wing. You can disagree with me, but please do so when you're not making assumptions about what I said. Thanks.
LOVED this video! It seems as though selling "Jesus" has become the IT thing to do! I'm a Christian and a fitness enthusiast, so I follow a lot of Christian influencers, and Fitness-related influencers on facebook and Instagram, some being a combination of both. However recently, I was approached by several different Christian-Fitness influencers, offering a faith-based fitness and accountability program and potential coaching opportunity. I soon found out that they were coaches with Beachbody, and were actually recruiting for their team and selling "Jesus" via Bible Studies as the personal/self development that Beachbody promotes. After being dm'd by 4-5 different women trying to recruit me, I did a deep dive into these programs, and realized it was an MLM scam, using Jesus as a marketing tool. I was infuriated!!! INFURIATED!!!! People like this and Brittany Dawn should be ashamed of themselves.
Brittany Dawn Davis worshipped herself, but needed others to worship her as well. She proved she was in no mood to keep her promises, much less help others.
Shame on her.
I love that your videos focus on subjects, that aren't talked about much. Your videos are very informative, well researched, and give good points of view. I was especially surprised to see you talking about yogi Bhajin, akal security, and the 3ho people, which most know nothing about.
I ran across her Tik Tok yesterday somehow. She is a mess. She is so judgmental now.. telling everyone what sins are and portrays herself as perfect. It's insane. Lol
