You know someone’s apology is crap when they say “I apologize if you feel….”
No girl, just apologize because you were wrong.

She used to say she’d talk to you one on one about Jesus, for $25.00. She’s a scammer, NOT a Christian.

I think we can all agree that the term "influencer" is one of the worst things to come out of the social media age.

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??!!!

Damn that man is “protecting your purity” but did not serve and protect the black folks of Kansas that’s crazy….

Learning about what her husband did has completely ruined my day and made me feel incredibly sick.

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 ❤

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 YouTube niche, sewing/crochet is very unproblematic and not judgemental at all

*Edit: why would she date that man????? 😶

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.

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’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

Her holding the piece of paper saying “Jesus wants your heart not your hustle” has me laughing my head off 😂

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!!

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.

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

"I jumped into an industry that had no instruction manual." There are literally hundreds of instruction manuals.

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…🤢

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!

Impeccably written and produced. Seriously, the pacing was perfect - neither too rushed, nor too sluggish - and the editing was outstanding. Loved it!
