I went into this highly skeptical. I’ve probably at some point made a derogatory comment about Gwyneth Paltrow. Now I’m wondering if we should all be steaming our vaginas.

Edit: You guys are a hoot. Thanks to those who saw my point. If you didn’t, then that’s cool too. I’ll check back later.

Very Late Edit: Please see my mea culpa, here: https://slrpnk.net/post/8972825

    I see this more as a PR stunt to try and fix people’s view on her after everyone worked out she’s a snake oil salesmen now.

        I’ll watch it after work, but I’ll take everything she says with a grain of salt, she’s a proven liar when it comes to herself and her business.

          If she’s a liar, she’s lying to bougie white women. She runs a business. What about her is especially egregious? Indulge me if you would. I’m genuinely curious.

            Scamming people out of there their money for way over priced crap is a shit act even if it’s scamming people you don’t like.

              That’s capitalism. Was the George Foreman grill a high quality product?

              Edit: Had an extra “was”

                Yes. It was a grill. When you plugged it in it heated up and cooked food, exactly what they claimed. Unlike her “snake oil”.

                  Look, of course it’s snake oil. But think about this. John McAfee sold more snake oil than anyone. Some people think he’s a folk hero. What’s the difference?

                    I haven’t heard anyone say anything positive about McAfee in maybe a decade so I while I agree with your premise I disagree with this example

                George Forman wasn’t selling a healthy lifestyle based on lies, he was selling a hotplate that cooked food, now if he came out and said it had miraculous effects on your body while pushing a cheap af hotplate you’d have a good argument.

                Also I’ve noticed you seem to really want to make it look like anyone who says anything negative about her company is doing it for sexist reasons which is bullshit, Alex Jones is doing the exact same shit she does and he’s a piece of shit for it as well, any person regardless of their gender identity or cultural background that knowingly and willingly rips off their customers are scum, even if I happen to like them or not.

                Hell if Keanu Reeves started selling snake oil bullshit products I’d call him a piece of shit scam artist.

                Stop trying to make something out of nothing,.

                  He said it “knocked out the fat” implying that it was a healthier alternative to conventional grilling. I’m sure there are a number of videos exist on YouTube that will back me up if you don’t believe me, but I don’t think you really care about that.

                  And of course it isn’t inherently sexist to say what she sells is snake oil, but that wasn’t my point.

                    He was a boxer, that was a slogan based off of him being a boxer, if it was the Tony Hawks grill they’d probably use " Grind the fat away", plus there is actual recorded proof that having less fats in your food is healthier for you, shoving a special egg up you doesn’t have anything backing it up besides a late 90s/early 00s celebrity.

            Oh that’s fine, she only takes advantage of people I don’t like. I’m sure Trump supporters say the same thing too.
