It'll be almost to it'll be two weeks on Friday Almost two weeks for me two weeks for him And we're just very fatigued at this point very very tired. So anyway Question that has transpired between yellow granix Monique and YouTuber slash influencer Linden land now before I give my own thoughts and opinions. I also want to address this I'm not someone to jump on the bandwagon of drama situations I'm not One to come I'm not a follower. Okay. I like to assess the situation. I like to sit back I will watch a video several times before I come up with my own opinion of of you know Of what has occurred? I'm not big into the cancel culture only because again, I like to step back look at how everything's I like to basically Formulate my own opinion. All right, even if I know the person I want to make sure that I formulate my own opinion in this situation. I was well aware of what had transpired between Monique and Linda and Linda again, Linda Lynn is the youtuber Based out of New Orleans and she's not in New Orleans. She's from Louisiana And so she did a review two months ago regarding the me yellow granix new rice water collection. Okay, several of the youtubers also reviewed this Collection which I will be dropping down some links below in the description box. All right, so Two months ago Linda did the review and she gave her very honest opinion Now these were products that she purchased with her own money and her own coins. Okay Um, I guess the owner did not really care for her stance on the products And she had a few choice words with Linda Not only in the comments section, but also I believe she contacted her through Instagram and She proceeded to make several I don't know if it was several But she made Instagram live regarding the situation um, this is my thing We've have seen this happen time and time again as far as YouTube research in Florence who's excuse me Who are sponsored they get a peer box and they make a video because they're getting coins to make to make this particular Video review and you can tell that they're stretching the truth. You can tell that they are Misleading their subscribers or viewers and they're not being honest. So in this day and age it is very hard to find People who are transparent people who give Great feedback and people youtubers that you can trust that when they're gonna review a product That you're not gonna go out and spend your hard-earned money on it and it's not gonna be trash Let's just be real. Okay, Linda is one of the few people out here on this platform Who gives honest reviews? You may not care for her delivery But you're gonna get the message and so I find it very very appalling and That Let me back up and say this from the brand owners perspective, I get it the company is her baby It's really hard to hear someone critique your baby You know what I mean your line but also in the same token as a brand owner and as a business owner You should be able to accept constructive criticism without getting so emotional Now Linda was one of many people that reviewed the meal organics line and quite as it kept She wasn't the only one that had things to say charade did a review I got some other names here press for curls fate in the city Denise Adore This collection was very popular a month or two months ago and plenty of other youtubers Reviewed the line and had mixed reviews But something about Linda's review triggered in my opinion triggered the brand owner if you guys I'm a type of person when I this type of Linda referred to as nice nice nasty. This is very passive aggressive behavior. Um, and so that happened That was two months ago apparently Monique's husband Contacted Linda call her late at night Basically to let her know that I guess they're still up in their feelings about the review That as a black woman, she should be supporting and this is you know You can go and look at the video to get the exact, you know words that she was using As a black woman, we should be uplifting on every black woman and then try to put in a Christian spin on it. Let me tell you something the way Linda's right. This is they're not acting Christ like Girl didn't the Bible say the God said vengeance is vengeance is mine. No, I'm at Monique and Earl. Let me say no Vengeance is ours So this has almost this when I saw Linda's video, I was so upset y'all I was yes because as someone who does honest product reviews, I Couldn't only imagine if a brand owner was down in my or whoever was down in my comments Let me know it's totally different to give me feedback on my review than to be this aggressive and just You know what I mean? There's a way to come across and to share your opinion without being nasty One thing that I gathered that I really think has hurt Linda personally Is that Monique? Monique almost feels as if Linda is coming for her on a personal level I don't think it's first of all, I know Linda. I've talked to Linda We've collaborated on a few projects here on YouTube. It's not even in Linda's character risk character Excuse me her personality to come for someone Militiously to intently to you know her intentions were never to make a video and Trashed his woman in her brand but she is the type of person you could only push her to so to a certain extent as we have seen Now with her you know as we've seen this all played out They have really crossed the line when it comes to being unprofessional and petty and The fact that her husband This is supposedly okay. This is he used her Personal information that he obtained through a previous order that Linda had made to call her from a block number That's an evasion of privacy. That's a problem. I wouldn't even have accepted that phone call after I heard who it You introduced yourself and you let me know who you are. Yeah Unfortunately, I won't be able to accept this phone call right now click If you want anything to say to me, I need it in writing you see what I'm saying you need to email me your complaints You need to email you need to contact me so I can have that paperwork. So I have a paper trailer of you contacting me all these times This is harassment This is borderline bullying. I could tell that she was so hurt about this overall. I get the feeling that she's tired She's tired of having to deal with this beat BS. Excuse my language She's just exhausted through you know having to deal with this I'm pretty sure she has other things better that she could be doing right now We're in the middle of a damn pen dip. I posted on my community tab a couple of days ago I don't know what I'm gonna upload this video. I would no longer be reviewing any product from me Eleganics, I just don't I don't feel comfortable doing that and I don't like the way they have treated Linda I just don't it has really left a bad taste in my mouth I will finish finish up this pomegranate and honey line. Oh, yes But yeah, I won't be featuring their their products in my videos anymore And that's sad because I want to we all want to support black owned business. We want to do that Okay, I'm pretty sure a lot of us want to do that We want to see that money funneling back into the black community And so I really do feel like at this point a lot of the things that we are witnessing a lot of the things that we We will be going through as individuals as humans the experiences that we will be going through in 2020 It has almost a spiritual I Don't know how to explain it you guys. Do you know what I mean, but you can feel it There's something behind it. So that's so many of us feel it doesn't feel right like it's They're they're the ones that are malicious this bitterness Like why can't they let it go? So I'm very curious to know if they do try to sue her on what grounds, you know I was talking to another youtuber who I'm not gonna name any names, but What grounds can they show proof that linda's video? um Hurt their their their sales for that quarter for that month or whatever or was it due to the pandemic? I mean it could be a combination of things um She again, she's not the only one that had A review that wasn't so positive now. Let's rally around and support this young lady Um, again, I'm not saying don't support them Don't buy them if you want to purchase their products and it works for you and you're okay. Go right ahead I'm saying at this point. I won't be reviewing their products on my channel going forward and so be it Um, but linda, please keep your head up. Like I said continue to pray over the situation Seek legal counsel and just know that there are those of us here on this platform and the in the natural hair community That agree with you. We stand with you Don't back down and um, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. So, okay, you guys said is it take care
