Why is Brittany Dawn being sued?
On February 1, 2022, the Texas Attorney General’s Office filed a lawsuit against Brittany Dawn which was first reported by The Dallas Morning News.
The documents filed in the Dallas County Court accused Brittany of violating the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The lawsuit alleges the influencer failed to provide the fitness and nutrition services she claimed to have knowledge of on social media.
The suit further accuses her of misrepresenting her expertise to her followers, who ordered customized dieting plans and allegedly did not receive what was sold to them.
Brittany’s fans and customers complained that they did not receive dieting information tailored to their nutritional issues, further stating she sold every patron the same generic fitness and diet regimen, according to the lawsuit.
Legal records filed by Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, claimed the “Kingdom chaser” charged patrons a price of $300, which includes a shipping fee when customers received their advice electronically with no shipping or handling required.
The filings additionally read: “She was described as ‘your coach, your confidant, your biggest supporter & friend,’ there to ‘push you, mold you, and to help you find that person that you’ve always wanted to become.'”
“However, the online nutrition and fitness plans delivered to consumers were not individualized.”
“Defendants also failed to provide the promised coaching and check-ins. Defendants largely ignored consumer complaints or, if they did respond, offered only partial refunds.”
Texas law officials are seeking between $250,000 and $1 million in retributions.
What did Brittany Dawn’s fans say?
The Texas Attorney General’s office’s allegations against Brittany Dawn have accounts from 14 former customers.
One patron who sought after Brittany’s expertise said in court documents: “The main reason I chose her out of all the coaches out there was specifically that she advertised herself as an ‘eating disorder soldier.'”
Another customer, Cori Reali, claimed: “She literally just took the money and ran with it.”
Reali spoke with WFAA ABC and detailed her alleged experience: “I was not individualized. I was not part of this ‘Team Brittany Dawn.’ It set me back. It actually pushed me back into my eating disorder.”
On Facebook, many of the influencer’s followers took to her fan pages to call her a “liar,” “thief,” and a “scammer.”
The “Jesus seeker” faced similar allegations in 2019 and other instances before legal action was officially brought against her in February of 2022.
Brittany Dawn did not immediately respond to The US Sun for comment regarding the accusations.
