She may have denied it in the past, but anyone familiar with the situation knows best:
Meri Brown is at the center of a pyramid scheme.
The veteran reality star has worked for LuLaRoe as a saleswoman for years, benefiting from a business deal that preys on the vulnerable.
There was a a whole documentary made about it and all.
But while most observers are convinced that Meri is involved in a sleazy operation, they have recently found themselves less sure of Christine and Janelle Brown.
What exactly are these Sister Wives stars up to?
If you follow Christine or Janelle Brown on social media, you’re probably familiar with their beloved “pink drink.”
This is just one of the popular products from Plexus Worldwide that every woman promotes via instagram and other platforms.
Plexus is a supplement company whose website claims it is “at the cutting edge of health science, with a line of products focused on all aspects of your health and happiness.”
It purportedly helps rid the “body of the bad stuff” and “paves the way to better digestive health.”
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?!?
Heck, “Plexus products work,” the company continues, adding that these items are “of the highest quality, non-GMO, 100% vegetarian, and gluten-free where possible.”
What’s there to hate?
Read the official website in more detail and the tiered summary marketing plan is basically explained to all, as it tells potential sellers:
Introduce the products you love to the people you love, because really, they’re too great to keep to yourself. Change someone’s life with a great product and change your own life with the opportunity to increase your income, earn amazing rewards and find personal fulfillment.
Like. Share it. Become an ambassador.
Janelle’s daughter, Maddie, has already been brought into this sleazy fold.
But these types of setups almost always force lower-level employees into debt, as they have to purchase a number of products from a company like Plexus – and are then required to collect that money on their own through a variety of sales.
Famous people like the Browns?
They have a much easier time convincing customers to make a purchase than the average individual, which means they’ll do just fine…but the same can’t be said for most Plexus salespeople.
Finally, there’s this nugget of trouble:
Plexus and their products, which are classified as “supplements”, are NOT tested or approved by the FDA.
There are no studies to back up product claims to promote “a healthy gut” and restore “your metabolic balance”.
In 2020, Plexus even received a warning letter from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) due to dangerous social media posts claiming their products prevented COVI.
Be careful out there, people.
