03/14/2024 Below are some of the just unsealed court documents related to the Sabrina Morrissey acting as guardian for Wendy Williams Hunter against A+E Networks. They include the main motion to stop the "Where is Wendy Williams" program from airing along with Wendy Williams' contracts. Sabrina Morrissey argues that Williams was in no condition to agree to anything. Morrissey also states that Williams was falsely led to believe she would be shown in a good light and would be the beginning of a comeback. I will update this as the court unseals more documents.

VERIFIED COMPLAINT

FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Sabrina Morrissey, Esq., acting in her capacity as Temporary Guardian of W.W.H., files

this Complaint for injunctive relief against Defendants A&E Television Networks, LLC (ìA&E

Networksî) and Entertainment One Reality Productions, LLC (ìEntertainment Oneî), and, upon

personal knowledge as to her own conduct and upon information and belief with respect to the

conduct of others, alleges the following:

NATURE OF THE ACTION

1. W.W.H. is a prominent and accomplished individual who has earned her status as

an icon in the African American community and beyond through her highly successful multimedia

career over the past three decades. Unfortunately, in recent years, serious medical issues have

severely diminished W.W.H.ís capacity to maintain her personal and business affairs, necessitating

guardianship proceedings.

3. In May 2023, W.W.H. was finally diagnosed by doctors at Weill Cornell Medical

Center with frontotemporal lobe dementia and progressive aphasia.

4. On February 2, 2024, Defendants A&E Television Networks, LLC (ìA&E

Networksî) and Entertainment One Reality Productions, LLC (ìEntertainment Oneî) released

a trailer of a purported documentary entitled ìWhere is Wendy Williams?î on its website (the

ìTrailerî),1

 and announced that the full documentary will be aired by Lifetime Networks (which

is owned by Defendant A&E Networks) in two parts on February 24-25, 2024. The Trailer, which

appears to contain privately-shot footage of W.W.H. in an obviously disabled state, shamelessly

exploits W.W.H. and portrays her in an extremely demeaning and undignified manner, incorrectly

states that W.W.H. is ìbroke,î and cruelly implies that W.W.Hís disoriented demeanor is due to

substance abuse and intoxication. The Trailer has been disseminated and discussed on YouTube

and other social media platforms by multiple gossip vloggers and other users, where it has been

watched and commented on by hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. The Trailer has

been viewed on Lifetime Networksí official YouTube channel over 725,000 times.2


5. It is readily apparent that the complete promised documentary would even further

portray W.W.H. in a humiliating and demeaning manner, unconscionably exploiting W.W.H.ís

condition, and perhaps even disclosing her personal and private medical diagnosis, for perceived

False Claims About Israel, Jews, Jewish People Clarified by Mary Cummins

The amount of false claims, fake news and propaganda being spread about Israel and Jewish people on social media and main stream media is out of control. A few of my Facebook friends are supporting Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PLO, Palestine and their false and disgusting propaganda and antisemitism. I have Latino friends saying that Palestinians are like Native Americans and Israelis are like the Spaniard colonialists who claimed and took the Americas by force. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's the exact opposite. I really hope they are merely uneducated and were just brainwashed by the Hamas, terrorist paid propaganda. I'm writing this post to help clarify and educate about a few things for non Jews so people will stop supporting lying terrorists.

FTR I was born and raised Catholic. I grew up in Beverly Hills, California and most of my friends were, are Jewish. Most of my friend's grandparents were in the Holocaust and concentration camps. They had ID numbers tattoo'd on their arms. There was a lot of Jewish education at Beverly Hills High School and in the City. The main Holocaust TV series aired when I was growing up. I went to my friends Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. While I'm no Jewish scholar I do know a little about Jewish history for this reason.

Below are some of the main lies about Israel and Jewish people.

1. Israel is an apartheid state. 

Apartheid means separation by race or ethnicity. There is NO separation of race or ethnicity in Israel. Arabs, Christians, Jews, white, black ... all go to the same public schools. They are allowed in all government positions. There is no segregation. Israel is the opposite of an apartheid state.

2. Israel is a colonialist state.

Colonialism is the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Israel has existed for thousands of years in the same location. It used to be, still is called Judea. The name Judea comes from the Hebrew name Yehudah. The term "Judea" has been used since 700 BCE to describe the area where the population was mostly Jewish. They are and have been occupying and settling their own country and land for about three thousands years. If you challenge any of this, you are called a racist by Hamas, unless you are racist against Jews. Then you are a "faithful ally of the oppressed." The Hamas propaganda twists everything around so that the victim is the perpetrator. Propaganda against Jews has been happening for centuries and it continues.

3. Israel is white supremacy

White supremacy is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups. People in Israel are all different colors, ethnicities, cultures and religions. They are all treated equally. Most consider Israelis brown while some may have lighter skin because some were in Europe for generations. Here in the US they were never considered white. They were grouped with blacks, Mexicans, Italians, Native Americans, Asians... Real White Supremacists hate Jewish people and think they are inferior to whites. I'd consider Jews the opposite of white supremacy.

4. Zionism is terrorism.

Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel. Zion is the biblical term for the land of Israel. Jews have lived in Israel aka Judea for thousands of years. They have the right to exist. If you don't think they have the right to exist, you're an antisemite who wants them dead and gone. 

5. Israel bombs, kills women and children in Gaza

Israel is targeting Hamas who are hiding in hospitals, schools, refugee camps and private homes of Palestinian civilians. Hamas uses hostages, women and children like human shields.When Israel is going to target an area they warn the residents ahead of time telling them to move. They do this by dropping flyers and by loud speakers when able even though they know they are tipping off Hamas. Hamas on the other hand gives no warnings. They gave no warning on October 7, 2023 when they invaded Israel and raped, tortured, murdered, burned men, women and children. Hamas bombs, fires missiles at, kills Israelis every day. Israel has repeatedly asked for a cease fire and Hamas refuses. If Hamas were to stay away from civilians, no civilians would be killed. Israel's goal is not to kill civilians. Hamas intentionally surrounds itself with hostages, women and children in hospitals to protect Hamas.  If they die, even by the hand of Hamas intentionally or by misfires, they blame Israel to try to get sympathy for their terrorist cause.

It is a travesty than any civilians or any people die in this conflict. Hamas could end it by stopping their attack, releasing the hostages or surrendering but they don't. What gets me is people who say "Israel is killing children in Gaza." What about the children killed in Israel? They don't count? Their lives don't matter? Israel is being bombed almost every single day. Jews, Israelis die every day. I don't want anyone to be killed on either side. 

6. Palestine should be free

Palestine has never existed as a true nation. They are considered part of Southern Syria by Arabs. Those in what is referred to as the state of Palestine rule themselves. They allegedly voted to allow the PLO and Hamas to rule them. They are as free as PLO and Hamas allow them to be. It's not up to Israel. The surrounding countries refuse to allow Palestinians to enter. Tell Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria ... to let them into their country. They have refused.

7. South African filed a suit with the UN against Israel stating they committed "genocide."

Any nation can file any suit for any reason. It doesn't mean it has merit or is based on fact. US President Biden stated it was "meritless." "U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby last week called the lawsuit “meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.” 

South African did not even mention the October 7, 2023 attack in their suit. SA didn't include any video from the Oct 7 attack. They only included unverified and generally false video clips from TikTok as their "evidence." SA clearly supports terrorists Hamas and antisemitism. Israel is engaged in a war with Hamas. They want to stop Hamas. Hamas is using Palestinians as human shields. They are not committing "genocide." 

"The word “genocide” did not exist prior to 1944. It is a very specific term coined by a Polish-Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959) who sought to describe Nazi policies of systematic murder during the Holocaust, including the destruction of European Jews. He formed the word genocide by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing." 

Below are some truths about the situation.

1. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS are terrorists organizations whose main goal is to kill all the Jews and remove them from Israel. They are support the destruction of the West, US, Britain...just about everyone except Arab states and some Muslims. They clearly, publicly and loudly state this every day. If you support those groups or their actions, you support terrorism and antisemitism.

2. "From the River to the Sea" means you want all Jews killed and removed from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea aka all of Israel. There is no other meaning. 

3. Israel has offered cease fires to Hamas many times and they refuse or they violate them. The current offer is a permanent cease fire by Israel if Hamas releases all hostages, stops bombing Israel and surrenders. Hamas said no. Keeping power in the area of Palestine is financially lucrative to the leaders who aren't even living in the area. They are billionaires living in Europe making money off the conflict. They make money maintaining control and having their people wage war against Israel. They personally take the "aid" money and supplies. The cease fires Hamas has agreed to in the past were broken by Hamas and not Israel. 

I will add to this list as more issues and fallacies arise.

Who is Father Edward L Beck controversial Catholic priest by Mary Cummins


Father Edward L Beck is a controversial attention seeking Catholic priest of the Passionist Congregation. He promotes himself as a celebrity TV priest and religious expert to various media outlets. As a priest he has a very controversial background. He currently does not have a church, is not the main priest of a church as he was kicked out of his last church for cause. 

Father Edward L Beck III was born in 1959 in New York and ordained in 1985 at age 26. He allegedly per his own account worked as an actor and on Wallstreet prior to becoming a priest. His father was Edward L Beck Jr 1935-2015. His mother was Madeline Maureen McGuinness 1937-2007. This is all public knowledge from his father's obituary He also publicly posted about these events. Per Father Edward Beck his father shot himself in the head after a diagnosis. Father Edward Beck has talked about his father's suicide on various media outlets. I personally don't have a problem with suicide but suicide is a mortal sin in Catholicism. The bible says if you commit a mortal sin you won't go to heaven if you don't repent and ask for forgiveness before you die. Some say if you commit suicide in a moment of weakness God will still forgive you and you can go to heaven. I no longer practice or believe so I don't personally care.

Today Father Edward L Beck went on CNN and stated paraphrased "Jesus was actually a Palestinian Jew born in Palestine while it was being occupied by others." He said this is a parallel to what's happening today in Gaza in the war between Hamas et al and Israel. He said Jesus is God who said "love your enemies." 

Many attacked him for rewriting history and tying Jesus to Hamas and the war on Christmas day of all days. FTR Jesus was a Jew who was born in Bethlehem in the land of Israel. The area back then was called Judea. Jesus would never have supported Hamas and the atrocities of October 7, 2023. FTR I'm a Catholic who went to Catholic school K-6. I was baptized, confirmed and went to mass Sunday and many other days.

This guy was free on Christmas because no church wants him to be their priest. He has no church. All the other priests were busy saying Christmas mass while this wanna be was calling all the media outlets looking for a place to spew his blasphemous sacrilegious lies to get attention for himself to further his acting, speaking, book writing, play writing personal self. He also offers retreats and workshops. He was not serving God today. Some had said he's a "gifted writer and storyteller." He's definitely a storyteller. If God existed, he would have been struck by lightning live on the show. Goes to show ...

Fr Edward L Beck is a major attention seeker. His headshots look like actor headshots for someone who is trying to get a bit part in some made for TV movie. It looks like he wants to be Anderson Cooper. He also wears a red or bright blue sweater over his priest garments. The purpose of plain black priest garments is to not draw attention to yourself. It's to show mourning and penance. "Wearing black should remind both the priest and those who see him that we should not set our sights on the fashion of this world but should remember that we are called to do penance, not just for our sins but for the sins of the world." He goes on CNN in a red sweater to get attention for himself. Many media people wear red to stand out. If he were just cold, he could wear a black sweater. 

I personally believe Fr Edward L Beck cares too much about his personal self to ever be a priest. He should become an ex-priest. Then he can do all the talk shows and make money. He's not allowed to make a lot of money as a priest. He can then really try to be Anderson Cooper. He can even have a boyfriend publicly. 

In October 2021 Fr Edward L Beck was removed from his church St. Therese of Lisieux Church in Montauk in Long Island, New York. Beck tried to spin this by saying it probably had something to do with him writing an opinion for CNN about President Biden. He attacked the church for firing him.  They also fired Fr. Robert Joerger who was Ed Beck's long time friend with whom he lived. They both ended up back at the monastery in Pelham, New York.

Fr Edward Beck has written many controversial things about the church. He said that Pope Francis has allowed same sex couples to be blessed. He said they can bless dogs and motorcycles and now same sex couples, big deal.

Shein and Forever21 Join Forces in US Market by Mary Cummins

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/24/shein-strikes-deal-with-fast-fashion-retailer-forever-21.html

"As part of the joint venture, Shein will acquire about a third of Forever 21′s operator, Sparc Group. Sparc will also take a minority stake in Shein."

Forever21 just showed up in Shein online site. 

https://us.shein.com/product-sc-002254254.html

This is a great move for both companies. They can both expand their brands.  Shein gets brick and mortar stores in good mall locations. Forever21 doesn't lose all its sales to Shein and can sell more online. This was probably Shein's goal all along. Let's see if others follow. Shein is already having events in Forever21 stores.

UPDATE: 11/16/2023 Case is ongoing. In the meantime more cases against SHEIN showed up. It seems SHEIN just settles the copyright cases. Plaintiffs then dismiss with prejudice. All companies do this as it's most cost effective. Below is the current docket of this case. SHEIN filed motion to dismiss. There was going to be a hearing 11/20/23 but Judge decided they will hear motion based on docs alone. I would have to pay for docs to view them as they are over the free limit so I won't.

07/13/2023 Summons was filed. SHEIN has 21 days to reply from the day they are served. I don't see proof of service filed yet. They will probably reply with "deny all" to all claims and only admit the name of their company. 

UPDATE: There's a false rumor going around that this lawsuit will shut down SHEIN. :-D No, it will not. It's not a major lawsuit. It looks like a weak copyright, trademark lawsuit. SHEIN was sued a few times previously and settled the cases quickly. These are small time copyright, trademark issues. 

If you look at other large fashion companies including competitors to SHEIN, they have many, many, many copyright and trademark lawsuits. It's part of the business. I have a feeling this rumor was probably started by the competitors of SHEIN. If I get the time, I will post the copyright lawsuits against the competitors of SHEIN. All of the things the competitors have accused SHEIN of, the competitors are actually guilty of. I listed the items in the previous article linked below.

UPDATE: The attorney who filed the lawsuit is the one who copyrighted the items contested in the lawsuit. This means there was no copyright when SHEIN allegedly offered the item for sale. One item had no copyright as it was rejected from the copyright office outright years ago. Here is but one for Krista Perry.

https://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=2&ti=1,2&Search%5FArg=perry%20krista&Search%5FCode=NALL&CNT=25&PID=VOZQuFG-fajYuiyLDG0vgc_6JAW8F&SEQ=20230715200427&SID=14

I'm searching here. https://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First

ORIGINAL: I just pulled up the actual SHEIN copyright infringement lawsuit. This is an intentionally messy shake down lawsuit. Anyone who reads it can clearly see someone went searching for plaintiffs with very old grievances just so they could file a lawsuit and make all these outrageous claims. Most of these claims are political and in line with the recent smear campaign by competitors by paid lobbyist SHUT DOWN SHEIN. 

There is something in lawsuits called "litigation privilege." That means a party, attorney can make any defamatory statement they like in a lawsuit and never be sued for defamation. Plaintiffs clearly did this in this lawsuit throwing around totally unproven allegations. They used all the exact same defamatory statements by SHUT DOWN SHEIN paid lobbyist campaign in the lawsuit. I personally feel SHUT DOWN SHEIN is probably involved someway in this lawsuit. Here is an article I wrote about the SHUT DOWN SHEIN paid lobbyist campaign. https://marycumminsinvestigativereporter.blogspot.com/2023/05/us-retailers-fear-attack-successful.html

The most damning evidence that this is a shakedown lawsuit is that plaintiffs who are very, very small time "designers" filed for copyrights years after the alleged copyright infringement and immediately prior to filing the lawsuit. Lawsuit also states SHEIN offered the designers $500 to license their designs. It looks like some of the plaintiffs may have taken that offer because the suit states the offers did not come with legal releases. I'll post more on this later. 

Small time copyright issues such as these are generally settled by contacting the website which the plaintiffs did. These plaintiffs don't pay $50,000 for a copyright attorney in the hopes of getting maybe $500 in licensing fees. You don't get copyright lawyers on contingency. Someone paid for this lawyer for them or the lawyer expects huge legal fees.

The main introduction for the lawsuit reads like the SHUT DOWN SHEIN website. It's almost verbatim, cut and paste, word for word. It even includes citations to some outrageous articles. The accusations are reckless and wild to the point that I won't repeat them. I don't think I should post the actual lawsuit for the same reasons. It contains a lot of Chinese hate speech. Changed my mind. Here it is. I won't add the text here in this blog article. Read the lawsuit and come to your own conclusions. There are suing for four claims of copyright infringement, one claim of trademark infringement and violation of RICO Act.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_mLby_Qt7QDuTuQFqlz95IX91tN8AM-/view?usp=sharing

The designs in question are very minor designs that were maybe on just a few very minor super cheap products. We're not talking Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gucci or Chanel type designs. These designs look like the work of an eight year old doodling. The one pattern actually looks like many other flower patterns I've seen for years. It looks like a copyright violation of someone else's pattern.

The designs are posted below under the fair use of copyright act. They are being discussed in an educational manner. This article is public commentary about these images which were captured as part of a paper legal filing which has litigation privilege. Part of the lawsuit is included in the images.

I believe SHEIN's argument that vendors load their designs, products to the SHEIN website to sell. I just visited their site and it's obvious there are many designers and individual stores. http://www.shein.com They're now more similar to Aliexpress than being one big regular store. 

Krista Perry 68. “Make It Fun” is an original artwork first created by Perry in 2016, with its date of first publication September 1, 2018. Perry applied to the copyright office and received registration for the Artwork on May 1, 2023, with registration number VA 2-344-429."

This item is all over the internet sold by many different people such as Amazon, RedBubble, Etsy...Why  not sue them too? At least SHEIN took it down. The others didn't. SHEIN can now argue that Plaintiffs were and still are being damaged by the other people still selling it. Very amateur design which would have been much easier to be inspired by but greatly improved upon. SHUT DOWN SHEIN campaign began April 2023. Copyrights filed April, May 2023? Hmm.

Here is the throw rug, blanket, towel thing. https://valleycruisepress.com/products/70s-floral-throw-blanket If you Google image search the throw, you will see it all over the internet. Why aren't they suing Etsy, Aliexpress,Urban Outfitters, Amazon and the hundreds of other sites selling it? I hope you can see this link.

image search



Jay Baron: This "design" is so amateurish why would SHEIN even want it? They could do much better just scribbling on a name tag. This design is being sold all over the internet, everywhere except SHEIN. https://www.google.com/search?q=hello+i%27m+trying+my+best&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPsffCv5GAAxUCJkQIHZnsDx4Q0pQJegQIDBAB&biw=1366&bih=625&dpr=1

The lawsuit states Jay Baron filed for copyright but was rejected. So there's no copyright? This case is looking very weak.

He filed for trademark for "trying my best" words only on textured background or fabric. He did get that trademark. It doesn't appear he's sued people to protect it before this year. It's everywhere. There is probably statute of limitations for trademark infringement.

Larissa Blintz Martinez


“Orange Daisies” is an original design created by Blintz, with its date of first publication July 28, 2019. Blintz applied to the copyright office and received registration for the Artwork on April 27, 2023, with registration number VA 2-343-963." Notice copyright date coincides with SHUT DOWN SHEIN paid lobbyist campaign.


Below is one of Larissa Blintz's Instagram posts about may be this print. She says she acquired it to use in her designs. You can't copyright a jumper. You can copyright a unique one of a kind fabric design. Is this it? It's hard to tell. Larissa said she "acquired" this print which means she didn't make it. This is the outfit above. https://shopmiracleeye.com/products/shelley-shorterall-in-marigold?variant=16724852113451 If it's not the same print, it's close. Looks like Larissa used someone else's print pattern design as an inspiration. Most of her designs are from the '70's. I was around in that era which is why it all looks so familiar. Just read her bio. Her mother is a clothing designer who is very familiar with fabric stores. She buys fabrics and doesn't design them. You can't copyright a basic short jumpsuit. Fashion can't be copyrighted but prints can. The prints are different.

I just compared SHEIN's alleged design pattern with the one allegedly owned by Larissa. They are different prints. Look at them both side by side and you'll see the differences. Come to your own conclusion. They are removed from SHEIN's website but still sold all over the internet in the exact same jumpsuit style. Some are even using Larissa's same exact photos. Perhaps this lawsuit was filed too hastily. It's now looking even more political. I hope SHEIN's reply includes this information and the fact that is a political smear job written for the media to harm the company.




As you look at the above images SHEIN could have easily recreated the basic ideas and not infringed on any copyright. They could hire someone to make new images, prints inspired by the copyrighted ones if they wanted. I'm sure the quality of the images would have been much better than the originals. They have many hired artists and designers here in the US, around the world and in China.

As for the print it's very, very similar to so many other flower prints. Looks like Blintz was inspired by other floral prints. In fact if you go to her Instagram account it looks like she was inspired by '70's wallpaper. https://www.instagram.com/larissablintz/?hl=en

I just created a similar pattern for free using AI. I asked it to create a repeating pattern of many small orange flowers on a black background.It created a similar pattern. There are also lots of copyright free backgrounds with similar patterns. No need to use a copyrighted design today.

There is a mechanism to report alleged copyright infringement. SHEIN does load thousands of new items per day. I again suggest they first run clear photos of the designs of any new items through Google image search to try to find the original source and see if it's copyrighted before they offer it for sale.

The items in the lawsuit were maybe not copyrighted when they were on the SHEIN website. That could be an issue. It looks like SHEIN removed them when alerted to the copyright claim. What then will be the damages? I'm not a copyright attorney. It looks like the attorney wants a big payday and publicity. I really think SHUT DOWN SHEIN is behind this. The speed in which the news spread is the work of a paid publicist like Chapin Fay of Actum who is behind SHUT DOWN SHEIN. I see no press release by the attorney. The timing for copyright notices and lawsuit coincide perfectly with the SHUT DOWN SHEIN campaign, i.e. SHUT DOWN SHEIN April 2023, copyrights April, May 2023, lawsuit filing July 2023. The lawsuit reads like it's part of the campaign. 

All of the images, products are being sold by many, many other places online which I easily found with a Google image search. Looks like they've been there for years. I think statute of limitations for copyright is two years. The statute of limitations may have passed for their designs based on the lawsuit, copyright dates and other online items. While I was in Pacer I searched SHEIN. There have been some cases against SHEIN which were settled quickly. Maybe that will happen in this case.

I don't know who is doing media, press for SHEIN but they need better advice. Instead of taking the influencers to visit the factories they should have stayed quiet. That came off poorly as damage control. Silence would have been better. They should also disable Google image search of their website.

Below is the current docket. I'll try to check the docket for the reply.

US Retailers Attack Successful SHEIN with Paid Smear Campaign, by Mary Cummins

SHEIN is a very successful Chinese e-commerce company selling clothing, jewelry, accessories and home decor items online direct to International and American consumers. Recently they and their customers have been attacked by a paid professional organization called "Shut down Shein." The organization is funded by US competitors of SHEIN and run by registered lobbyist Chapin Fay of Actum. Actum is a US paid public relations "lobbyist" business. The campaign Twitter account only has 28 followers! :-D 

SHEIN 希音 was founded by Chris Xu aka Yangtian Xu in 2008 in Nanjing, China. The company is privately owned with headquarters in Singapore and warehouses, distribution centers all around the world and US. SHEIN through its vendors sells items at almost wholesale Chinese prices direct to the consumer. They are like wholesale Amazon, eBay, Temu, Wish, AliExpress for trendy clothing, jewelry and accessories. For this reason their almost identical items are much, much cheaper than comparative items sold by their US competitors. 

What would cost $9 to $69 at H&M, Zara, ASOS, FashionNova, Forever 21...costs $1 to $9 at SHEIN. SHEIN also has an insane variety of products adding thousands of new items per day. SHEIN does not operate expensive International and US retail brick and mortar stores except for some temporary popup stores. This reduces costs which is how they are able to sell items at lower price points.

Instead of changing their business model to better compete with SHEIN the US competitors have embarked on a smear campaign of attacks, lies and pleas to the media, public and US politicians to shut down SHEIN by any means. "Shut down Shein" and their supporters attack anyone who supports SHEIN online including commenters and shoppers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. They call them "anti-American," "racists," supporters of "slavery" and even "communists." They're attacking teenage girls whose only sin was to comment "cute!" on a tshirt posted by SHEIN. They're also spreading anti-Chinese racism and hate during Asian heritage month.

The lies don't stop there. They state that SHEIN makes "throw away" clothes which are destroying the environment. SHEIN is making similar clothes to the ones their US competitors are selling. They're made in the same place in the same way with the same materials for the same wholesale price sometimes even in the same factory. Nike, Adidas, Levis, L.L. Bean, Calvin Klein, Abercrombie & Fitch and the more expensive brands like Armani, Burberry, Prada, D&G, Marc Jacobs are also made in China. Even luxury jewelry brands are made in China such as Maria Tash and many more. 

They even state that SHEIN steals copyrighted designs. Most clothing, jewelry and accessories are made with inspiration from other items. The large US companies do the exact same thing which is why they're complaining because it's competition. There have been copyright claims on some designs in the past. When you consider the sheer number of vendors and items, one could see how that could happen. SHEIN has a copyright policy. They will remove any copyrighted item posted by any of their vendors. Perhaps large companies such as SHEIN can institute an auto Google image search of all new items to prevent this possibility especially since they're adding thousands of new products daily.

There was a claim that some products used cotton sourced from forced Uyghur labor in Xinjiang, China violating the Federal Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). Cotton from Xinjiang is widely used in the global garment industry. As of last fall, 16 percent of cotton clothes on store shelves in the US contained this cotton. It's a difficult issue because the cotton ends up being mixed with other cotton, sold as thread, yarn and manufactured into fabric or products in places other than China. Adidas, Hugo Boss, Puma all were found to have this cotton in their products even though they had no links with Xinjiang. Xinjiang cotton is shipped to India, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries who then make products. H&M, Nike, L.L. Bean, Patagonia, Victoria Secrets, Reformtion, L Brand and many more US companies used this cotton. There's no way to know if products have this cotton without DNA testing it. SHEIN states they no longer use this cotton. So do the US companies. If you were to DNA them all, they all may have some of this cotton. SHEIN has a supply chain statement. They also have statements about supporting entrepreneurs, the community and environment. More info about the company here.

Some people are buying items in SHEIN just so they can leave false negative reviews about other issues. Here's one for a plastic hair clip. It's not cotton. "SHEIN USES UYGHURS. SHEIN USES UYGHURS. SHEIN USES UYGHURS." It's in English and Arabic and recent. 

In the past these same large US companies ran smaller US stores out of business by selling cheaper items made in China. These same companies used similar business practices as SHEIN which indirectly killed the smaller US companies. Now that SHEIN has taken it a step further by selling items at almost wholesale prices the US companies are screaming foul. There is nothing stopping the US competitors from dropping their prices to match SHEIN's except profits.

SHEIN is successful because SHEIN has similar items for a lot less money than US retailers. They are able to do this by making money off volume and having a cost effective supply chain, efficient logistics, modern technology and data-driven insights. Their website is easy to navigate and they have detailed dimensions, materials, sizes and customer reviews listed for the products which their competitors don't have. Their customer service and shipping is much better and faster and they're all the way in China. Items generally arrive in nine days or less from order to delivery in the US which is faster than US companies. They also offers shopper incentives for placing orders, receiving orders and leaving reviews besides offering lots of coupons and special pricing. 

There are companies which sell similar items in many different stores for similar prices in China, i.e. Temu, Wish, Alibaba and AliExpress. SHEIN is more successful than those companies in the US because customer services is ten times better, products are superior and items ship faster and more reliably. SHEIN ships all items combined from their own warehouse. The other companies ship items individually though more recently they're doing some group shipping through central shipping centers. 

The other Chinese businesses operate in a similar manner as SHEIN and have existed for years. The US competitors don't care about them because they aren't as successful. Amazon, eBay, Walmart and other websites selling items from China legally operate in the same manner under the tariff free $800 de minimus threshold for imports from China. Again the US companies don't care as much because they aren't as successful when it comes to trendy, fashionable clothing, jewelry and accessories. They're only calling out SHEIN. They know they can't shut down Amazon, eBay or Walmart which operate under the same de minimis threshold. If they can't shut down Amazon, eBay or Walmart, they won't be able to shut down SHEIN for those same reasons. 

"Shut down Shein" claims that SHEIN is not paying tariffs and other taxes on the items sold. Amazon, eBay, Walmart, AliExpress...all operate legally in the same manner and have for years. The US companies could also operate in the same way if they wanted to do so. Instead they'd rather use mainstream media, social media and the US government to try to harm their competition.

Here are some things "Shut down Shein" states about SHEIN in their website that "proves" they should be shut down. It looks like a list of SHEIN's successes to me. If the US companies had accomplished these things, they'd be patting themselves on the back, giving their CEOs bonuses and bragging about it to the media.

"SHEIN is the No.1 downloaded app in both Android and iOS App Store’s Shopping category in the U.S. with 229 million downloads, beating out Amazon by almost 34 million downloads."

"SHEIN has an “unusual” marketing strategy that heavily targets teenaged and twenty-something American “influencers.” SHEIN targets all age groups. All the other companies use the same marketing strategy. If an 8-12 year old goes to Claires to buy cheap jewelry, they will be tracked by their profile, favorites, purchases, which items they linger on while scrolling... Shein only allows people 16 or older to use their website. 

"SHEIN’s website ranks #1 in the world for web traffic in the fashion and apparel category, according to SimilarWeb, putting them ahead of household names Nike, Zara, Macys, Lululemon and Adidas."

"A recent survey of American upper income teens by investment bank Piper Sandler ranked SHEIN as 2nd after Amazon for most popular shopping website."

"The average duration of a site visit is estimated at 8 mins 36 seconds, higher than every major US fashion brand."

Chapin Fay who is behind "Shut down Shein" has used lies to try to garner immigrant votes for Republicans. One campaign was called "Stop the insanity" which Fay promoted on social media. It was a fear mongering campaign just like "shut down Shein." Thankfully political candidate Lee Zeldin lost the campaign. He also campaigned against AOC and again lost. Fay is hoping that current Chinese hate, racism, distrust and anti-TikTok will help his smear campaign.

Some of Fay's similar lines of rhetoric against SHEIN are “TIKTOK IS THE NEEDLE, SHEIN IS THE DRUG,” “TikTok and Shein, controlled by the [Chinese Communist Party], are trying to capture an entire generation of American youth. And in a way, they already have,” "Shein: The biggest national security threat you never heard of," Shein's “dangerous and reprehensible behavior.” All these statements are straight from their links below. Fay is actively spreading lies and anti-Chinese hate and racism. Fay is contacting all politicians who hate China asking for help. Truly a despicable campaign especially during Asian Pacific heritage month here in the US.

The PR website states their specialties are "communications, government relations, storytelling, narrative development, digital and social media, advocacy mobilization, special groups, political consulting, public opinion." If telling the world how much more successful their competitor is, is their idea of "narrative development," their client should get their money back. So far these petty attacks using an anonymous name appear as jealousy of their successful competition. The personal attacks on teenage girl SHEIN shoppers on Instagram are very low. I was even attacked by them.

This campaign is already a bust. Their Twitter account only has 28 followers! :-D It only follows US politicians. Their main campaign is to try to derail their IPO via a letter from US politicians. They want SHEIN to certify that they don't use forced labor. I believe they already did that in their website. This looks like illegal interference with business and commerce to me.

In response to the campaign, a spokesperson for Shein said: “Shein proudly provides customers with on-demand and affordable fashion, beauty and lifestyle products, lawfully and with full respect for the communities where we operate. We categorically deny these false and baseless claims, and will not hesitate to take swift action to protect the rights of our company.”

I sure hope SHEIN hires some lobbyists, PR people, media to help them deal with this nasty attack from "Shut down Shein." The people and companies behind this should be exposed as sleazy, liars, defamers, cheats and hypocrites. I highly doubt there is a human rights organization behind this campaign. They would have mentioned their name if they were supporting this cause.

Below is a quick example of the price differences. This earring is a gold plated hidden helix dangle. Maria Tash sells it for $490. It's made in China like the rest of Tash's expensive jewelry. Maria Tash says the design is "patented." It's not. Tash patented the back of a stud earring which no one else uses because it catches your hair. You can't copyright, patent a fashion design like this. People made and sold the earring before Tash but she lies about all of her jewelry. The exact same earring sells for $4 on SHEIN. The SHEIN version has a high quality Zircon instead of a diamond but it's still gold plate over sterling silver. The same earring on AliExpress is $3. The same earring on Etsy which was bought on AliExpress is $25-$100. Many other places sell it for $100-$200. There's a HUGE markup in jewelry and clothes. US companies are pissed that SHEIN has shown the world their huge profit margin. Below is SHEIN's earring. They show materials and dimensions which helps the consumer. Other places don't.



*I don't work for SHEIN. I just read some articles about "Shut down Shein" and saw people viciously attacking SHEIN's customers online and decided to investigate to try to understand why. The post I saw was about Frida Khalo merchandise. SHEIN licensed the name and likeness for a product line legally with the owner of the Frida Khalo trademark which is the Khalo family. I'm related to Diego Rivera which is why I saw the article. Shut down Shein attacked Shein for this even though Shein did everything legally and properly. I posted that the licensing deal was legal and was attacked so badly I had to remove my posts to get rid of their attacks against me. I have more research which I may add to this story at a later date.
