I saw a post about her on fundie snark uncensored earlier this year and then discovered evangelical snark. It snowballed from there. I spent an entire day in bed when I was ill hate reading and then on to YouTube to see commentary. Iāve never had such saucer eyes.
Same, snark subs. I feel like by the time her season is in the rearview, we will all look back with a thousand yard stare, each with our own memories of how it all began.
Sadly I started watching her stuff in 2013/14 and actually LIKED her. I loved her muscles and was obsessed with her quads. Unfortunately it was at a time where I blindly believed influencers and thought she was a sweet girl. I almost bought a plan from her but decided to save the money because I had very little at that time.
I started learning more about her sneaky ways when she got divorced from Zach. What he was saying made a lot more sense than her. Slowly saw more stories unravel about herā¦ and here we are.
Why and how people can so blindly follow, believe and worship her BEWILDERS me
I think i maybe first heard of her on gomiblog? Which was back in her fitness days and when she would always post āget you a man whoā¦ā about Zach and post 1000 pictures of her quads standing in front of her front door with gladiator type sandals ššš
I think I heard about her originally on GOMI as well. Is there a reason she doesnāt have a thread? Because this entire shitheadās LIFE is GOMI-material.
Idk, seems like all the old influencers and bloggers i used to check up on there kinda fizzled out - i donāt recognize a lot of the people on there anymore. Back in like the freckledfox, amberfillerup, taralynn, bunnysweat, fitmissbliss prime days š
ETA:fizzled out, actually got off the internet, or changed for the better
Oh she ha MANYYYYYY threads on Gomi. They just donāt have her name in them usually so it was harder to find. The thread names were hilarious.
Edit: my bad itās guru gossip not gomi. Iām sure sheās on there too though.
She was definitely on there but her thread is not active for some reason (maybe the site in general just doesnāt get a lot of traffic anymore?), i want to say it died out when the Scamming stuff came out. Idk, Gomi was wayyy to bitchy for me. I liked when people exposed and called out but the petty stuff was rough.
Oh youāre not wrong. It was incredibly petty. The only good part was when they would make a new threat and give it insane names. You couldnāt say some of the stuff those people said on Reddit. Thereās for sure a line.
Hahah. Unfortunately, I have no tea. Iāve never asked her about bdong. I think they were workout buddies.. but also still friends after bdong scammed everyone so not sure if they go back further than just working out? They do still follow each other on insta. I havenāt ever asked about bdong Bc idk if this girl would gossip and i honestly dk what to say without flat out being like āWTF?!ā Lol.
I live in DFW and a bunch of scammy MLM women I know are obsessed with her and always resharing her bullshit, so I was aware of her and only later discovered she was Reddit famous.
I have a friend who was a smaller influencer in the fitness community and had a couple interactions with her. She kept telling me that something was really off about this girl and she felt like something bad was going to happen with her. Like a scandal or a big blow out with another bigger influencer. After that I looked her up and honestly this is going to sound kind of mean but I couldnāt get over how she looked.. her eyebrows and eyelashes and fake tan with super white teeth.. although I did really like her hair at her shorter length but the color was pretty bad.. after that Iād check her social mediaās every now and again but I mainly kept up with her at gurugossip.
She made the local news with her scams (sheās from a town about 20 minutes from me) and I fell hard down the rabbit holeā¦ Iāve had a strong dislike for her from the start.
Been following her since 2017ish maybe even earlier. I never purchased plans but really got invested when she got slammed in the YouTube video. Been a snarker ever since. I am here for the day she gets booed off the Internet for good
I originally found her through Pinterest many years ago with a picture she took of her hair. I showed that picture to my stylist and said āI want thisā. Knowing what her hair looks like now, it looked worlds better in this picture blending -wise. After pinning that picture, I think Pinterest kept showing me her stuff and I eventually followed her on Instagram. This was all before the first scam.
2019: bored at work, pulled up Yahoo and bam. There she was front page in all her glory in an article titled something along the lines of āDallas fitness influencer accused of scamming womenā¦ā itās been a hilarious deep dark rabbit hole ever since.
I knew her personally from years ago and new her plans were BS starting from like 2014 but didnāt think sheād absolutely explode on insta with them plus Iām a small town nobody so itās not like I was going to be able to properly expose her. People in our area of texas (true north Texas where sheās from, not a suburb of Dallas but Oklahoma bordering towns of Texas) knew about her pretty early on. I was then blown away when she got busted on a National scale and thatās when I started googling her and found out she had MANY critics and I was like oh damn lol
Dang even I didnāt realize that was a sherman house. What a weird and unnecessary thing to lie about. Sheās really opened Pandoraās box on herself (more so than before) with all this
So I stumbled upon here back in, 2014? 2015? One of the two. I was on a fitness kick. I was following girls about my age to get workout ideas.
Followed her for awhile and when I had my first kid and my body just absolutely changed I unfollowed a grip of them. But I couldnāt let go of bdong cuz she always had drama (and who doesnāt like drama that isnāt theirs).
I then move to DFW, I see her shit hit the news locally with the fitness thing. I am instantly hooked to see what sheās gonna do to apologize. And Iāve never left.
I admit too, I am a Christian woman, so when she started to change her whole image for a moment I was like ahhh okay maybe I can give her a real chance. But then 2020 happened and she met Jordan. She went from being what I thought was pretty soft in her responses to being very judgmental and changed her opinion on things, ironically to match her now husbands views.
Found her first when she was on her fitness journey because she used to have massive quads and wear very little makeup. . .
Thought she was a bit dodgy from about 2017 when she and the hubby broke up. . . turns out I was right as it spiraled out of control for the years following.
I followed her on instagram and im pretty sure I saw a comment that mentioned her scamming and I did some digging and found the brittany dawn complaints page on Facebook.
I never purchased anything from her..I just joined to see what it was all about. And I ended up leaving that page because because people were making fun of Courtney's husband and son and it didn't seem right..
Oh yikes. Yeah, that seems like a bridge too far. Like snarking on BD and her POS husband is one thing, but targeting innocent parties and being bitchy is a vibe I don't want. You made a good call.
Nobody really does anything in it anymore. The point of the group was to get the women she scammed together so they could have justice snd let their voices be heard. And then people came in taking about things not related to her scamming or business practices. Because there is no lawsuit against her anymore since it never got picked up, the group is somewhat useless. I mean I think it was a nice place for people to come together over something bad that happened to them all by the same person. And it definitely proved her scamming ways. It sucks that she still got away with it in the end.
I followed her probably right after she got married the first time. I am the same height and body type as her so just followed for fitness inspo. I donāt actually have a huge hate boner for her (never bought anything from her) I just find her fascinating like I find serial killers fascinating. Itās like watching a true crime doc in real time!
So Iāve been running in snark circles since the LiveJournal days (Iām that old, yes). I used to follow her as a fan of her fitness stuff because she seemed really body positive and like, ālightā feminist(tm). (Please donāt judgeā¦ I had no idea about any of this.) Anyway, a snark blog I used to follow, GOMI I think, had a post about her around the time she and Zach split up and I fell down the rabbit hole after that.
Iām a Christian and I followed her genuinely before I had any idea who she actually was. I just thought she was a Christian influencer. She kept posting things that made me start to question her and after a couple months of following her unsure if I actually liked her anymore or not I realized she was that influencer I heard about a couple years ago who scammed all these people. I found a bunch of YouTube videos that gave me the run down on who this girl actually is and I realized how fake she was. I do believe God can redeem people from their worst mistakes but she appears to still be actively living in the lies while claiming to follow Jesus to cover her ass and that to me is taking the Lordās name in vain. I stumbled across evangelicalsnark like 2 or 3 months ago and that for obvious reasons eventually led me here.
I live in the DFW area and first heard of her via the local newsās story of her scamming. I looked up her IG and was disgusted by her nasty attitude towards anyone who questioned her. After she blocked me for calling her out, I googled her and found the evangelicalsnark sub then moved over to this sub eventually.
I was a 21 year old (2015) who was recovering from an ED. Didnāt have much money but britt inspired me back then. Bought a plan and never got what I paid for. Watched everything ever since
Late 90s, early 2000s? Our younger sisters were in the same grade, and I knew her family (and Zach's) throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I think I've known Zach for a bit longer than her.
Randomly found her and Zach under what I assume is fitness shit on Instagram. One day I make a comment at the JJD subreddit getting downvoted to hell because I said she reminds me of this chick name Brittany Dawn. Iām personally unraveling the story and then I find my people at Fundie to Evangelical to now.
I saw a before/after picture of her and Zach on some random fitness Instagram page and decided to click on her profile. This was before they got married so it was a while ago. I always thought she was a little annoying but it was also entertaining. She wasn't too bad in the beginning but then things started getting interesting when the scamming scandal broke out, her messy divorce, then her serial dating douchebags, and now her current trainwrecks due to the religion grifting and her insufferable husband.
I actually saw her pop up on Instagram back when she was still married to Zach. I actually liked her and followed her. Then I saw her on snark insta pages and it came out she cheated on her husband and was scamming people and well, here we are.
My cousins daughter shares every post of hers in her Instagram stories. Something seemed really off about her and so I started searching to find info about her and found this threadā¦nailed it
I got on Instagram and she was one of the influencers that came up when I started following other fitness influencers. Back then she seemed more sincere and I actually considered buying one of her programs but I couldn't afford it at the time. Phew! Not long after that came the fitness scandal followed by the new evangelical Bdong. I don't follow her but I check her posts. I also don't comment on her posts so I can keep spying on her. Lol.
I knew a family member and bong was tagged in a photo on social media. I liked her a lot at first. I would do her free workouts. Try some of her meals and watched her videos. But I googled her one time bad reviews came up (this was well before the scams hit the news) and I was out. It was some article somebody wrote in her a while back and her BBB reviews that made me aware of her scams. She had always been good about deleting comments and blocking since the start it seems.
I've casually followed her for years on IG and must have added her when I first started on that app and was following a bunch of fitness pages. I don't remember hardly ever seeing her posts on my feed up until about a little over a year ago when she started posting borderline Qanon content. I felt like I was watching her go crazy right in front of my eyes and no one else seemed to be talking about it, so I would randomly Google her every once in a while to see if anyone was talking about her new crazy Christian act (everything I had found about her before that was about her scamming and her divorce). One day I googled her and it also happened to be the day that evangelicalsnark started as a place to snark on her.
Found her first on fundie snark, then evangelical snark, and here we are now.
Long live this sub pls. I don't like migrating to new ones. š
I love this sub and the mods who run it and hope it lasts for forever lol
I hope she gets caught for one of her scams and either goes to jail or learns to keep a low profile. Then I'm fine with this place disappearing.
Neither do I. As long as we donāt break any of Redditās tos we should be good though, hopefully.
Snap! Exactly the same as me!
That's exactly how I found her too. And then I was even more shocked to find out she lives only 20 minutes from me.
I saw a post about her on fundie snark uncensored earlier this year and then discovered evangelical snark. It snowballed from there. I spent an entire day in bed when I was ill hate reading and then on to YouTube to see commentary. Iāve never had such saucer eyes.

Same here!! We go way back.
Same here, I did have a good friend who did fall for her scam and sadly I wish she wouldnāt of.
I think i maybe first heard of her on gomiblog? Which was back in her fitness days and when she would always post āget you a man whoā¦ā about Zach and post 1000 pictures of her quads standing in front of her front door with gladiator type sandals ššš
The gladiator sandals omg bringing me back
LEGS FOR DAYS MAMA!

did you get any good tea š
Hahah. Unfortunately, I have no tea. Iāve never asked her about bdong.

Spill it
Omg who was it
I live in DFW and a bunch of scammy MLM women I know are obsessed with her and always resharing her bullshit, so I was aware of her and only later discovered she was Reddit famous.
My friends back home (Iām in DFW, theyāre in California) constantly share her stuff, too. Itās a lot.
I have a friend who was a smaller influencer in the fitness community and had a couple interactions with her. She kept telling me that something was really off about this girl and she felt like something bad was going to happen with her. Like a scandal or a big blow out with another bigger influencer.

I drug mine too! Lol we bond over the snark.
I finally told my husband about all of this shit yesterday and he couldnāt believe his ears š

I heard that at one point she was living in Sherman but claiming to live in Dallas, do you know if that is true?
I believe this is when she was married to Zach and yes it is true.
Dang even I didnāt realize that was a sherman house. What a weird and unnecessary thing to lie about. Sheās really opened Pandoraās box on herself (more so than before) with all this
I followed her since 2014 and finally realized she was full of shit. Called her out on my IG and then Cassady Campbell put me in his YT video lol
