Which will probably work out in her favor. Big failures can be used to build up a following. Im not criticizing her, just saying that a failed business does not equal a failed personal brand (unless you pull an OJ Simpson).


For the betterment of humanity, let's hope not. Lest we create another DJT.


I don't know the lady herself or know much about NG, but villifying her like this is silly.


She's legit not a good person, that I can guarantee you. Look at her story. It's borderline sociopathic. She brags about stealing and swindling to get her start. She had terrible eBay feedback. She's been sued multiple times for mistreatment of employees. She spent $1m on a wedding that was annulled 6 months later. She has a clear pattern of terrible behavior.


Holy crap, that's quite a rep.


Oh I'm just getting started... She got divorced because she was sleeping with Galen Pehrson 6 months into the marriage, a groomsman in the wedding who was the partner of one of her bridesmaids (Liz Carey).

She fired an employee because the employee had heart surgery and cost the company money [0]

She has had DUIs, but has paid a publicist (out of the company dime) to bury that information.

She hasn't been paying her suppliers, which is causing a couple companies to go bankrupt as well. (see bankruptcy docs)

Oh and you should see the way she treats the waitstaff a restaurant...
