Many people are trying to lose weight to be healthy, including me. What pisses me off the most are the so called ‘miracle’ shake, pills, creams. You know. I didn’t know that they were scams when I was young.
The people behind these products have no idea how their products affect the mind of an impressionable young gal. And it is truly disgusting behavior. Charlotte Rollin, a 20-year-old fashion communication, and promotion student feels the same way.
You see a specific company kept sending her emails about how they wanted her to be their brand ambassador. They were also getting more and more aggressive at the moment as they kept sending her emails until she finally responded. I am quite sure they would have wished she didn’t.
an Instagram diet shake company literally wouldn’t stop emailing me about a potential ‘’collaboration’’ and so after at first ignoring them, I decided to tell them what I actually thought 🖕🏻 pic.twitter.com/OKEKLirAEU

I had hoped the absence of my response would prevent you from contacting me again, however seeing as you have now emailed me three times regarding this ‘collaboration’, I feel a need to reply and hopefully prevent further correspondence.
It is quite apparent to me that you have not taken the time to look at my previous social media posts or even have an idea of the type of the content I create, as if you had, you would most likely be aware that I in fact have suffered with anorexia for the past 5 years.
I therefore would, under no circumstances, even consider promoting a diet or detox drink on my social channels, which many follow as they also suffer from mental health issues and use as a reassurance that they are not alone in these struggles.
I find the nature of your product to be damaging, and I know for a fact that these shakes are not a healthy way to lose weight, even for those that have a genuine, non-disordered desire to do so.
Moreover, it is very suspicious to me that you have over 10,000 followers, yet most of your Instagram posts have less than 20 likes. This is a clear indicator to me that your business and following is not a legitimate one.

Omg this company was harassing me too! I sent a very very similar email. It's so dodgy how the ingredients are hidden in the FQA section on their website & they've definitely got fake reviews on there too.

I was contacted by the same person multiple times (I ignored her emails too!) – I ended up telling them where to go 🖕🏼

I ignored them to start with but she literally wouldn’t stop and her follow ups were getting more and more aggressive ?? deffo not the right way to approach a potential collaborator! so glad I’m not the only one telling them how it is 👊🏻

I’m glad it wasn’t just me! That’s the second miracle diet company that has contacted me and it literally makes me feel sick knowing that influencers say yes to promoting these products! 🙄😓💕
