SBS contacted me to leave a review on TP not long after the first negative reviews were beginning to appear. I’ve not left one yet but I’m minded too just because my OH is a solicitor and would absolutely love to get into legal scrapes with her and it wouldn’t cost us a thing
Some people are just happy to piss money away on being nasty, intimidating bullies.
Your husband sounds like a superstar!
Sending legal letters is an expensive way of intimidating people into towing the line, and unfortunately it often works as so many people, when they receive a letter like that, panic and do as they're told as they can't afford to go to court and don't necessarily realise that there are other options. It's laughable that she even thinks she can take paying customers to court for leaving negative reviews about her business. She has spoken endlessly about wanting to lift women up, empower them to love themselves, be kind to themselves and create a community of support, when what she really means is she wants to build an empire of control and sycophancy to massage her over inflated ego.
She should be ashamed of herself. She provides a service, and as with any service, some people are going to like it and some people are not. She could have nipped all this in the bud months ago when the first mumsnet thread appeared and the issues with her services were aired. She herself directed me there as she publicly threatened to sue them. What I saw when I went over there was a small group of customers who were frustrated with a sub standard service but who had literally nowhere they could go for any kind of support and redress as they had been systematically shut down by her when they tried to complain. She could have used that feedback to improve her service and actually used the community she created on Facebook to provide constructive support to her customers but she ended up doing the exact opposite.
Her arrogance is quite astonishing and now she is reaping what she had sown. I am not one to wish misfortune on anybody but I will make an exception here as her actions over the last few weeks have been deplorable. And they are HER actions. She may have had some shoddy business advice but these kinds of bullying tactics predate her association with MHS. This is all on her and I do not feel an ounce of sympathy for her, I reserve that for those customers who have been caught up in this mess and maybe also those stylists who are working for her (she's made it clear they don't work with her) whose own livelihoods may end up being affected by this absolute
tit show. May they jump ship before it sinks.
I hope anyone reading this who has been affected by her poison is doing ok and knows how much support they have here, on MN and in the new FB group. This thread is proof that not all Tattlers are poisonous bastards but that forums like these can actually be amazing safe spaces for people.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to get that off my chest!
