Let's not put pity on Lina in regards to potentially not knowing about Anna's dishonest ways. I did perhaps think maybe she doesn't really know but then I snapped to my senses and thought if we can all Google, why can't she? There is no way that Lina has not background searched her relatively new friend on Google, or had her other friends talk about her either. People talk...
Lina knows exactly who Anna 'Bey' is, and they are all complicit in playing into her facade. Lina is a lawyer by profession - it's her job to research and think critically. I highly doubt she hasn't looked into Anna, especially considering her line of work and how much information is out there. Is Lina a working lawyer? Usually, law firms post their lawyers online but I can't find anything for Lina, other than her Instagram. I guess she's rich enough.
Judging by the "wedding" food at Lina's apartment, which was only a few plates of basic food... I really believe it when someone on here mentioned that she's a people collector, or Anna is just a pet to entertain her. I believe it.
That tiny amount of finger food is not the norm for any European or Lebanese celebration. Like a few people here have mentioned, that lack of food would barely even be acceptable for a lunchtime meeting. How last minute really was that wedding, considering nobody even bothered to put in any effort for bringing food or arranging a caterer? There are plenty of caterers still desperately wanting jobs to fill and will take anything last minute. No wedding cake, cupcakes, no nothing? Bizarre.
It's either because they don't care about Anna as much as she thinks they do and it's just a game to them or as we all think, it's a sham fake wedding. Curious, are legal registries of marriages public record in Switzerland?
Why hasn't she posted her wedding photos on her Instagram like she's posted in her 100 emails wanting people to sign up her course? So odd.
I think most of us here are genuine people who hate seeing other vulnerable girls and women being taken advantage of. It's not cool, safe or empowering to promote this type of life without mentioning how dangerous it truly is.
YouTube randomly suggested a few of Anna's videos to me, and while I don't agree with everything Anna says fashion-wise, at the time, I did enjoy watching her videos after work while I was doing other tasks but I soon realised she seemed contradictory about many things. If Anna is so affluent, then why is she working like a dog? Surely her affluent man would be able to see she's stressed and help her out more?
Anna is selling a life that she doesn't really quite yet have herself, it's not entirely honest. I wanted to like Anna but something seems very off... Yes, she has managed to buy herself a wardrobe full of designer clothes, shoes and has a few designer handbags and possibly even some designer jewellery (not sure about this because plenty of Russian "influencers" source replica handbags and 14k jewellery from China, I know this because I've seen it) but that doesn't mean those people are affluent. It's just their facade and also being quite irresponsible.
It could just mean Anna could be spending all of the money that she's earned from her other courses, and Youtube AdSense but that's not sustainable and there's always credit cards. I think she's trying to make as much money as possible and then will abandon whatever course, name, etc... then rebrand. Remember her other Anna Bey YouTube channel? It says coming soon, I think she has something else up her sleeve.
Apologies for the long post, I have been enjoying reading all of your analysis and investigations!
