I heard back from ASAI today re my complaint to them about Grace promoting that tea (and saying you can lose 5lbs per week, load of s***). They asked did I have a screenshot, but I said no, as it came from her mouth. I mentioned I'd seen a lot of people discussing this claim on social media too. And I mentioned that I contacted the tea brand themselves only to be told 'we don't discuss who we work with, as this is an internal matter'. I've named the company to ASAI, and asked them will this be followed up. Impressed to see they have contacted me (they also wrote to me, and I don't live in Ireland anymore but they still sent the letter over to me). I really hope more people will issue complaints like this. I'm not for a moment begrudging ANYONE making a living, it's the deceit and lies I can't stand, and false advertising. It's dishonest and wrong, and nobody should be doing that (if you did something like that in a normal job and made crazy claims, you can bet you wouldnt be working there much long)er. I think as potential consumers (not that Id buy the tea, but there are young girls out there who jump on anything mentioned by these bloggers) we have a responsibility to call out wrongdoing by there 'influceners' and brands, and maybe we can finally see a change

Fair play to you...it makes me think i should be assertive myself and instead of getting blocked by a snapchat account i just bring my issue straight to the attention of asai.0 -

Yep, tbh I don't think the bloggers ever care what we have to say, unless it's adoring, gushing compliments. Anything they percieve as even the slightest bit critical just gets you blocked. I decided to go straight to the company as I felt I needed to have my say, but as you know from my post I was dismissed. I think we need more people to air their complaints directly to ASAI if we want to see a change in unethical behavior. It's extremely frustrating when you see products pushed in your face with blatant lies attached, and any company allowing it to happen needs to be held accountable. I feel a lot of them think they can get away with shady behaviour (from the influencers) as they are likely small companies, and don't have the kind of visibility to the public as larger ones, they feel they can fly under the radar of ASAI. If more people bring what is being done to their attention it can only be a positive IMOmad about nuts wrote: »I heard back from ASAI today re my complaint to them about Grace promoting that tea (and saying you can lose 5lbs per week, load of s***).
