The Parasocial Crush to Parasocial Pipeline- CC Edition

The Parasocial Crush to Parasocial Pipeline- CC Edition

I censored the original author’s names because I took a screenshot from another post, but they made a great point and got me thinking about a trend we have all noticed with Chelsea.

The trend being, CC begins to fangirl over a creator/d list celebrity and when she attempts to collaborate with them or otherwise put herself within their sphere and they reject her advances, she then begins to make critical commentary videos on them.

These people were just off the top of my head, using knowledge to the best of my recollection. I may have some small details incorrect- but I think it establishes enough of a trend.

If you can recall other instances- please add them below.

-Kimberleigha:

* Kimber started making anti MLM content around 2020. I remember there was this website called “beauty guru chatter” or something like that and they found these social media screenshots were CC was trying to befriend her. Coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) CC started anti MLM content around the same time. Fast forward a few years and Kimberleigha joins Monat (what a wild time that was) and Chelsea begins discussing her during. Livestream. I believe Kimberleigha joins the livestream and they argue. Some years pass and the two seem to not like one another, but then CC goes to crime con (2025?) and apparently extends an olive branch. Now Kimber is getting name dropped by CC every now and then as if they are friendly. My conjecture? CC saw Kimber having a ton of success in the True Crime space and also how she is close with Annie Elise and realized she should mend fences. Especially with the massive commercial success Eliesabeth was going to be. Our girl is nothing if not an opportunist.

- Trisha Paytas

*Back in (2022?) started making long form content about her. I remember comments made toward her physical resemblance toward Trisha and her taking offense to that. Sometime in mid 2024 HFTC begins and again, wanting to grow in an adjacent niche- CC begins to make endearing comments toward Trisha. They send a promo box to Trisha who barely acknowledges it on her pod and then all of a sudden all the past one sided beef seems to be put to rest.

✨gonna come back to add detail to the below examples✨

- Raw Beauty Kristi
- Bunnie XO
- Kayla Caputo (talked to her about joining Monat years before she started doing anti MLM content on her)
- Freedom Barbie

Reps Quitting and bringing their team with them

This is called cross recruiting and top reps have been sued by their former MLM companies for it.

See:

Modere v. Justin Prince

LifeVantage v. Jason Domingo / Ovation Marketing Group

ViSalus v. Bellville

I always find it so interesting when Reps so brazenly talk about moving to another company and their downline following them.

Like you know you can get sued for that, right? 😂

Question for Callie Groupies…

I don’t know which one of you has custody of the shared brain cell this week, but if you do and you care to answer- I have a question for you.

Actually- scratch that, this can be rhetorical.

How are you good with supporting a rep who opens unicorns for herself EVERY.SINGLE.COLLECTION?!

There’s no way one person is this lucky.

And everytime she opens one for herself, it’s one less that you all get.

I don’t believe in supporting this pyramid scheme at ALL, but yall know there are reps who appreciate their customers and save unicorns for them- you know that right?

Is it really worth all the money to get 30 seconds of attention from a serial MLM Hun that peaked in high-school?

And now you pay her even more money so you can shop with her on what not…

Might I suggest counseling, perhaps some that specifically addresses self-esteem building.

AC Live- Not sure what this was about

I apologize- I joined late so I can’t lend any context but CC was getting into it with a few people. She disappeared after the last chat.

JennaGirl is her Grandbaby?

I tuned in right as she was saying it but I thought she said Jenna girl signed up under Kendall who signed up under her (Michelle.)

Can anyone confirm?

I thought if her Grandbaby is Jenna she would be higher up than she is.

Reporting Lives

Hello friends-

It’s your fellow basement-dwelling Cheeto-eating troll.

As we’ve seen by the uptick in reps that are being restricted, TikTok is really starting to remove live access for reps that continue to violate their terms and conditions.

If you are unfamiliar with how to report a live, this is just a quick how-to because hey, sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know.

When you are watching a live, there should be an arrow in the bottom right corner (the same arrow that you would hit if you’re trying to share the live out). Click that arrow. Choose the flag that says “report” and choose Frauds/scams.

In the “Report Description” box- you can add the below text:

“Host is directing viewers to purchase through an external website/app instead of TikTok Shop, apparently circumventing TikTok’s commerce platform.” Or add your own flair, just stick to the truth.

If the host is using the live shopping feature the reporting is much more tailored to the “directing off platform traffic” but most of them no longer use this as their entire TT can be banned or shopping cart taken away. You will usually know they are using this feature because TT shop products will be displayed at the bottom of the live.

Will TT care about your report? Most likely no- almost everything I report comes back without violations since it is being reviewed by an AI Bot, however we have seen where enough people reported a live to get a rep restricted or even banned multiple times.

What I am not doing: directing Reddit to brigade one user, live or group by mass reporting. This is against sub rules.

What I am doing: Advocating for the reporting of lives that violate TT T&C and educating users who might be unfamiliar with the process.

Why I care: Before all the pro-BP Huns come in asking “why I care since these Reps are just trying to earn a living” MLM is a predatory structure designed to benefit the top 1% while the bulk of workforce volunteers lose money because they are sold a pipe dream. Every day a new post is put up that shows Reps are recruiting heavier now than ever. Legal MLMs that operate like a pyramid scheme (and get away with it only until they don’t) make the bulk of their revenue through mass recruiting new Reps. I’ll stop being Anti MLM when they change their structure.

While I enjoy snarking, my Roman Empire is doing every thing I can to dismantle the fortress that is Multi Level Marketing, even if I remove one brick at a time.

Some odd things I’ve noticed lately…

So aside from the hair, which is nearly identical to Rachel Reese’s cut- I notice in almost all of her recent videos on YT and TT she is doing this lower, gravely voice I swear she never had before.

After one of Rachel’s TT videos came across my feed I clocked it immediately- oh my gosh she’s doing it again.

I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel like she fixates on women and then sort of- absorbs their personality, looks, mannerisms and now- voice.

As her most recent video goes on (I would say around the halfway mark) the pitch of her voice noticing changes and seems to return a bit more to her normal voice.

I know I’m probably not articulating this well but I swear I’m on to something here.

I thought they couldn’t do Jewlery for another company at aqua and above

I don’t actually care what she does- get your bag, but I thought they couldn’t do jewelry if they were aqua title and above.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who cackled

I laughed so fucking hard when she started ugly crying in Rachel’s office wearing Rachel’s fucking haircut, I mean holy shit- is this the next woman she is single white female-ing?!

Other podcasters and actual journalists have worked directly with government agencies to help bring charges against defendants - what exactly does she think she did to cause Liz to be charged with wire fraud? The arrogance is astounding- even for her.

Fair Use- Caleb Hammer Video

I would estimate about 90% of CCs new video is clips from other people. That’s being generous. It’s probably more like 95%

It’s astounding to me how sloppy she’s gotten, and in my opinion- her videos could easily be taken down for copyright if the original creators chose to analyze her videos and see exactly how much commentary she is providing.

It’s handy YouTube gives us transcripts now if anyone ever wanted to do a word count and actually quantify her “commentary.”

Gotdamn- she is the sloppiest of slop tubers.

A Wolf Among Us Reference?

I don’t know why the developer would reference the Fables comics/AWAU game, but anyone else think of this when we meet Colin the Pig?
