1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,389
Glamour Dolls failed to comply with
those obligations when it engaged in a

2
00:00:05,389 --> 00:00:10,319
failed online advertising campaign on
Kickstarter, using LFI, Lisa Frank's brand

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without LFI's approval and then refused to
pay royalties due when LFI properly

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
terminated the party's contracts as a
result of Glamour Dolls' misconduct.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wait a minute. She didn't know about the
Kickstarter? Hello my friend, I will

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
honestly tell you that until late last
night, I did not think that I was filming

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a video about Lisa Frank and Glamour
Dolls today. I actually had a full video

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
planned about preservative-free cosmetics
and how freaking ridiculous and dangerous

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
preservative-free cosmetics are. But then
I got a very interesting comment from a

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
person named "Fake Goth Girl." Okay. I get
a link. The link is to a court document

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I had not previously had access to.
This document is Lisa Frank's point of

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
view. It is her counter suit. This is Lisa
Frank saying "Glamour Dolls is the bad

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
guy, not me. I didn't do anything wrong -
they're the ones that did something

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wrong." So in today's video, I want to go
over Lisa's side of things - what she says

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the court documents is the reason why
she pulled out of her contract with

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Glamour Dolls that left backers of the
Kickstarter out all of their money - over

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$400,000 of their money, including my
money. My $75? Gone. If you have no idea

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what I'm talking about, that's because
this is Part 2. I strongly strongly

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
suggest you please watch Part 1 of this.
It will be linked below. It will be up in

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a card. It is the background for this
video - this video might not make sense

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you don't watch that one first. If you
don't feel like you have time for an hour

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a half long video, what you can do is
you can scrub through the timestamps, kind

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of get the idea of what it is. You can
also play it on 1.5 speed if you want to.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I will tell you that the average
amount of watch time on that video for a

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
single view is about 40 minutes. That has
literally never happened on my channel.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is a story that I think you want to
hear and and that I think that you are

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
going to be engaged in if you choose to.
That being said, we are starting at Part

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
2. I'm assuming at this point that you
have seen that video and that you have

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that background knowledge. And also
side note, I mentioned this at the end of,

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the video, but there's probably about 40
comments mentioning Bailey Sarian's video

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on Lisa Frank, based on the Jezebel
article that we talked about in the first

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
part of this. Yes, I am fully aware of
Bailey's video. I have met Bailey. I have

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
collaborated with Bailey. Bailey did a
fantastic job on that video. That video is

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more about Lisa Frank as a person, so if
you want even more context for the story,

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I highly recommend you go watch Bailey's
video as well. What we're gonna do with

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this part is I'm actually gonna put Lisa
Frank's lawsuit on the side of me so if

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you are fluent in Legalese, you can follow
along and see the match up of what I'm

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
saying. Surprisingly, a lot of is is
pretty clear cut and there isn't a ton of

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lawyer language in this that was difficult
to understand. So if you would like to

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
read along, it is going to be next to me
over here. Here we go. So this is what

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa says. This is her side of things.
This is all about the deal in 2016, the

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
original deal that she had. Lisa says they
struck the deal in June of 2016 that would

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
end on December 31st of 2017 - that
matches up with Glamour Dolls' side, so

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm assuming there's legal contracts, so
there's evidence of this. So Glamour Dolls

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in that original contract, agreed to pay
Lisa Frank 15% royalty on the net sales

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the products made under the deal, with
a minimum payment of $100,000 for the

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
duration of the agreement, including a
$25,000 advance. Glamour Dolls promised to

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do their best, to make, sell, promote, and
market the products to get as many sales

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as possible, always focusing on high
quality. Now this part is very very

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
important because this is really the root
of why everything went wrong. They had to

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get Lisa Frank's approval on literally
everything, from the design concepts to

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the artwork, to the molds for production,
to the final product samples before going

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into production. Lisa Frank had the right
to approve or reject the elements and

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Glamour Dolls had to follow Lisa Frank's
directions on quality standards. Now

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
listen to this because this is part of the
reason why things were taking so long. So,

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for designs, Glamour Dolls had to wait up
to 10 business days - that's about two

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
weeks or so - for Lisa Frank to approve
or reject anything that they submitted to

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
her. If Lisa didn't respond in time,
Glamour Dolls was allowed to ask after

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those 10 business days, "Hey, what's going
on? I need a full description of why you

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
reject this or I need an approval." But
this is the kicker! Because even after

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approval, and remember, this is according
to Lisa herself, Lisa could stop the

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
production and distribution of the
products if they didn't meet her quality

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
standards. That's a subjective thing -
that is not something that can be

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
measured. Lisa can just for any reason,
just say "This doesn't meet my quality

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
standards" and stop production at any
point. And it wasn't just for production

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of product. It also had to do with
advertising, packaging, display methods,

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
press releases - anything using Lisa Frank
artwork - Glamour Dolls had to run this by

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa. They had to wait for those 10
business days and then if she didn't

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
respond in 10 business days, then they had
to poke her about it and be like "Dude,

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what's going on?" They had to keep poking
her if she didn't respond after those 10

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
business days. So remember this original
contract that I personally believe was to

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
create the blush, the highlighter, and the
two brushes - that contract was ending

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in December. But remember the Kickstarter
had started in February. We're now in

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
December. February - they promised backers
10 additional products beyond these four

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that had already been funded. Lisa's
contract is about to end, so they need to

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
start a new contract. This is what Lisa
says was in the new contract: same 15%

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
royalty on the net sales of the products
plus 20% royalty on sales made directly to

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
retail customers. So this would be if
people bought it off of Ipsy's marketplace

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or if people bought it from Hot Topic,
or at one point they were talking to

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Walmart - any of those, Lisa would get a
20% royalty off of. Beyond that, in the

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
first contract, Lisa asked for at least
$100,000 for her fees. In the new

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
contract, Lisa upped that to $500,000.
That included an up front payment of

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$125,000 that needed to be paid when the
contract was signed. Three more payments

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would be paid throughout the year to total
that $500,000. The rules for making the

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
products were pretty much the same as the
first contract. All of the levels of "you

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
need to send it to Lisa and she needs to
approve it" and then the 10 business days

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- all of that was pretty much the same.
The only thing that changed, which we'll

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
find out more about in just a minute, is
that they did not have to get pre-shipment

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approval. So Lisa has already approved
the final draft of the product, they have

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
put that into production, they now have
the products - they've got thousands and

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thousands of these products - they don't
have to send those products to Lisa for

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approval anymore. But there is a clause -
because of course there is - if there were

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
any production problems, if after all of
these things were sent out and Lisa

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
decided that there was a production
problem, there was something she didn't

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like, Glamour Dolls would have to pay
damages for that. What would those

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
damages be? I have no idea, it's not in
here. Another thing that's very important

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in Lisa's side of the story is that they
said that Lisa could end the deal

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
immediately if Glamour Dolls broke certain
rules, like not following the approval

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
process or having production issues 3
times. If Lisa decided that she was

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
going to terminate the agreement, Glamour
Dolls had to not only stop making

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
products, they had to stop selling their
existing products. Then they had to turn

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
over the rights to the artwork. Anything
that Lisa had created for Glamour Dolls

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would now be owned by Lisa. And you might
be seeing where this might be going -

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
maybe if you watched part 1. Because she
did that. That happened. In context. you

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have to remember that this is 3 months
past the date that Glamour Dolls had

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
promised products would be done and
shipped to backers. So they are deep deep

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in it now. They are sending out that
digital Christmas card, where people can

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
send it to their families, saying "Hey,
you know, you might be getting some Lisa

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Frank products that I bought for you at
some point. This is what's coming." That's

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where we're at. A lot of the backers are
already irritated by this point. From

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa's side, she says in her court
documents that LFI, or Lisa Frank

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Incorporated, fully performed its
obligations under the license agreements -

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do believe Glamour Dolls would argue
against that. They say specifically

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Glamour Dolls repeatedly failed to meet
their responsibilities under the

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
agreements they had with Lisa Frank. This 
is how Lisa says Glamour Dolls messed up.

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And remember, she's going to have to prove
this for her counter suit. This is what

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she says - she says they didn't put in
enough effort to produce, distribute,

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
promote, and sell the products that they
were supposed to. She says that they

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
didn't aim to sell as many high quality
products as they could, that they had

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
signed off in their contract. She says 
that they use Lisa Frank artwork in ads

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and packaging without getting approval
first, which was against their rules of

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the contract. She says Glamour Dolls was
late in making and delivering the

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
products, which they were. She says that 
Glamour Dolls didn't follow the agreed

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
upon process for getting products 
inspected and approved, that they didn't

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pay the royalties and the minimum amounts
that they were supposed to, and that they

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
used the Kickstarter to sell products
without getting the okay from Lisa Frank

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Incorporated, which was of course not
allowed. Finally, they say that Glamour

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls promised products to backers and
then never shipped them out, which is

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
true. But the question is: why didn't they
ship them out? What was stopping them

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from doing it? Was it a fault of Glamour
Dolls or was it a fault of Lisa? We're

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
still in Lisa's perspective, so let's
follow that. Lisa says that even through

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of the things that I just listed - the
things that are in Lisa's filing - she

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
continued to try to work with Glamour
Dolls to make things work. She says she

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
did this only because she felt like, if
she didn't continue with Glamour Dolls and

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
see this through and get the backers what
they ordered, that it would damage Lisa

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Frank. It would damage her and her brand.
It wasn't about making sure that people

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got what they paid for, it was about the
damage it would cause to her reputation

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and her brand's reputation. She says in
her statement that, you know, that Glamour

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls had made all these promises and
they failed to go through on them, that

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they even said that they were shipping
things to people that they never shipped

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to them, which I don't know if it's
actually true. Because from what I've

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
seen, anybody that was supposed to get
the eyeshadow and the bronzer and the

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
postcard did get those things. There is
some question, at least in the comments

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
underneath my last video of whether people
who ordered the brush separately, whether

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they actually got their brush. So maybe
that's what Lisa is talking about. Lisa

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says that Glamour Dolls ignored rules
that they had to follow to get Lisa's

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approval before making anything. She says
that they attempted to make or change

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
products without talking to her first.
And also that they didn't give her the

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
samples required that she needed to
review. The perspective here is that

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because of those failures, people started
blaming Lisa Frank and not Glamour Dolls,

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where she's saying it wasn't her fault,
it was Glamour Dolls' fault. She said that

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people began to think that Lisa Frank was
scamming them, leaving negative comments

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and complaints online that damaged LFI's
reputation. It was only because Glamour

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls broke their side of the contract
so many times that she ended the contract

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
formally in July of 2018, which is what
Glamour Dolls had said, that she abruptly

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just ended the contract. What Glamour
Dolls had said was before she ended the

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
contract, she required them to pay that
final $125,000 to her and then once she

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got the money, she terminated the contract
and that they didn't know she was going to

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do that when she took the money.
Supposedly, LFI reminded Glamour Dolls

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that they needed to do the things that
were in the contract, that if she ended

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it, that they needed to do - things like
returning all the artwork and paying any

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
royalties owed. However, she says Glamour
Dolls didn't pay what they owed or follow

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
through on other responsibilities after
the termination, leading to more problems

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and losses for LFI. So at the final part
of the complaint, Lisa says "This is what

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I want the court to give me." She says she
wants to be paid damages, which means all

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the money that they should have
received under the agreements with Glamour

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls - the exact amount of how much she
should be paid would be decided at trial.

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then she wants to be paid back for all of
the costs and all of the expenses and the

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lawyer's fees as allowed by law. She also
wants to receive interest on any money

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
awarded to them, both before and after the
court's decision at 18% per year and it

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
looks like, you know, this happened in
2018, it's now 2024, so that's a lot of

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
freakin' interest. I'm not going to do the
math in my brain right now because it's

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
physically and mentally impossible for me
but that's a lot of money. And finally,

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she's like "And if the court wants to
give me something else, if you think

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there's something else that's fair, feel
free. You can give me that too." So that

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is Lisa's filing. I have lots of thoughts
my friend. Do you have thoughts? Because

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you have thoughts, put 'em in the
comment section because I'm wondering if

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we have the exact same thoughts. That's
what the collective brain is all about, is

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
us bouncing ideas off of each other and in
a recorded video, it's a little harder. So

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you have thoughts, definitely leave
them in the comments. I'm gonna tell you

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mine. Okay, so I have questions. [laughs]
I have 3 major questions. The first one is

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"What was the timeline for approving the
Kickstarter?" Because eventually, Lisa was

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
participating in the Kickstarter, at least
it looks like she was participating in the

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kickstarter. So I am curious what Glamour
Dolls' side of this is, in that do they

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
say that they did the Kickstarter without
talking to Lisa? Because I noticed

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something that was in their paperwork that
they filed. They label Kickstarter as a

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
business that they were trying to get to
work with, right? So it's listed in with

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ipsy and Hot Topic; they also list
Kickstarter. So it was seen by them - it

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
looks like - as just another way to sell
products and I don't know if that was in

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the contract, that they had to clear what
retailers they were gonna work with with

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa. Where I think that Lisa may have
them on this is that they had to use Lisa

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Frank artwork and they had to promote this
using Lisa Frank branded stuff for the

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kickstarter before it even started.
Remember Candy's video. I wish I could

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
show you the video - it is killing me that
this video is private and I can't show

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you the full video. But Candy clearly
uses Lisa Frank artwork in the video to

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
promote this Kickstarter. If Lisa didn't
know about the Kickstarter, then she

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
didn't approve the artwork to be used in
Candy's video or any other promotional

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things that they did for the Kickstarter.
So then Lisa would have them on that.

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's what I'm thinking most likely
happened - I mean of course it's possible

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Glamour Dolls did talk to Lisa and
tell her about the Kickstarter beforehand

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and did get all of the artwork approved
and all of that, but it sounds like Lisa

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is saying "No, that didn't happen." So
my next question associated with that -

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's kind of a sub question to question
number 1 - is "When did Lisa find out

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about the 10 products that they promised
to the Kickstarter backers? When did she

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
agree to that?" Because it seems like that
first contract from 2016 was really for

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those 4 products that they actually did
produce and put out there - the blush

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brush, the crease brush, the bronzer, and
the eyeshadows. Single eyeshadows, not

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
eyeshadow palettes, the single eyeshadows.
The ones that were sold at Hot Topic. It

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is very very likely that Lisa was on board
with the Kickstarter about a month after

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Kickstarter started because in March,
they show posts that are specifically from

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa, participating in encouraging people
to enter these contests, to perform these

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tasks, to show their nail looks and things
like that. Lisa is posting there. So if

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is really Lisa posting - which it
doesn't really make any sense to me that

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it wouldn't be Lisa because Glamour Dolls
wouldn't be able to, like, hide that from

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa - they would have to explain that
so it doesn't really make sense to me

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that that wasn't actually Lisa posting.
But she was clearly participating and

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on board in March. Another clue that Lisa
was involved in the Kickstarter from the

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
launch of the Kickstarter was that just
a few days after the launch, Glamour

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls posted that Lisa was going to go
into her vault and the first 1,000 backers

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were going to get a very special gift
from Lisa in their box when they got their

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stuff. They would get a second - what they
called a treat - if they hit 2,000 backers

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that Lisa had something really special
planned if they made it to 10,000 backers.

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I'm very curious to see if this piece
comes out in court. My second question is

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Why the hell did Glamour Dolls sign this
terrible ass contract?" This is the most

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bull**** contract I think I have ever
read. It is absolutely nuts. The part that

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is the most unbelievable for me is that
Glamour Dolls signed this is the whole

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approval process. It is absolutely
ridiculous. Both sides agree that this was

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the process. So they have an idea, right?
They start with the idea. Let's use the

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Trapper Keeper palettes as an example.
So they have an idea that they want to

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
create a palette that looks like a Trapper
Keeper. So they get this plain white

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Trapper Keeper palette made by the
factory. Glamour Dolls then takes this

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
white packaging, this plain plastic
packaging that's the mock-up, send it to

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa, wait 10 business days. If she
doesn't answer, they have to poke her and

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get her to give feedback. If she does
approve of it, Glamour Dolls then takes

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
her ideas, whatever she wants changed, and
lets the manufacturing facility know. Then

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they get another mock-up. Then they send
that to Lisa. They wait 10 days, they wait

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for the feedback. All of that happens all
over again until Lisa's happy. I didn't

238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
see anything on either said that said Lisa
had a limit to how many changes she could

239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
make. So let's assume she's now approved
the mold. Now they have to wait for Lisa

240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to make the artwork. Once the artwork
comes in, again, they send it over to the

241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
manufacturer. The manufacturer puts it on
the product. Then Glamour Dolls has to

242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have two samples of it that they then send
over to Lisa and wait those 10 business

243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
days again. If she doesn't respond, then
they poke her - same process all over

244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
again, where she can either reject it or
accept it. Do you see how this is so

245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
freaking ridiculous? Because it's not even
over then! Even after Lisa has approved

246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the final designed product, when they
manufacture it - let's say they make

247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
10,000 of them, because this did happen -
they make 10,000 of them, they have to

248
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
send 2 of the 10,000 to Lisa for final
approval before they can ship those out

249
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to customers. And I will tell you my
friend, this actually happened -

250
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
according to Glamour Dolls - with the
vegan leather makeup bag. This is the

251
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
draft picture of the vegan leather makeup
bag that was not designed, that people

252
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really excited about. This is the final
design that was supposedly "The One," the

253
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
makeup bag. Well it turns out, according
to Glamour Dolls, Lisa didn't like this

254
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and after they had printed 10,000 of
these, Lisa said she didn't want it to be

255
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
vegan leather anymore; she wanted it to
be glitter plastic. And because of the

256
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sh**** ass contract that they signed,
they couldn't sell those 10,000 bags that

257
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they had already made because she had
approved the sample. They had to start all

258
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
over again with a glitter bag design. I
mean how f***ing ridiculous is this? The

259
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fact that Glamour Dolls signed this
contract, did they not have a lawyer

260
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
read it? Like what happened? How did this
get through? From the very jump, this

261
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
should have just never happened and I'm
sure Glamour Dolls in hindsight is

262
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thinking the exact same thing. And my
third question is "Why would they start a

263
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kickstarter in February, knowing that
Lisa's contract was ending in December?"

264
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because that's where they really got
screwed. This is what I'm thinking: I'm

265
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thinking Lisa designed all of the products
and got everything going for those first

266
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
four products before the Kickstarter
even started. And that was why Glamour

267
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolls wanted to do more work with her.
They were like "Yes, this was so smooth,

268
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this was so easy. Let's keep this going a
little longer. We have until December,

269
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's only February. We have all this time.
We pushed out those four products pretty

270
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quickly as far as getting through this
process, so let's do 10 more! We've got

271
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this." Glamour Dolls said publicly that
they didn't start having problems with

272
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa slowing down the process until June
of 2017. So that was after the Kickstarter

273
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had already started, but before the
estimated ship date that they told the

274
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
backers of September. And it makes sense
because if they started signing the

275
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
contract in June of 2016, by February,
they had made and designed 4 products.

276
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Assuming that Lisa was done with all of
the designs and all of the things and all

277
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the approvals by the time that the
Kickstarter started so that's about 8

278
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
months. So they're thinking "Well yeah
this was so easy, we should be able to

279
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
push out more products by December, by
the time Lisa's contract ends." So now I

280
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shall present to you the worst case
scenario of Lisa's a raging b****.

281
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[laughter] That's where we're gonna go
with this. This is worst case scenario

282
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what happened, in that Lisa knew her
contract was ending in December, she knew

283
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that she could slow down this process in
order to get a new contract in December

284
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and price gauge the hell out of Glamour
Dolls. She knew that they had already

285
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
promised all of these products to the
backers. She knew that they probably

286
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
given her $125,000 of the backers' money.
She knew that Glamour Dolls was already

287
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
using the backer money in order to get
these samples and ship them to her. The

288
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$370,000 that the backers had paid,
probably a lot of it was already spent

289
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because that's why they started wanting -
needing more money. They started selling

290
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the products on BackerKit, they started
selling the crease brush on their website,

291
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they really started courting Hot Topic to
try to sell products over there because

292
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa was taking all of the Kickstarter
backers' money for herself and they were

293
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
using it for the manufacturing of these
products and they knew it wasn't enough to

294
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
see this whole project through because
remember they've got 10 products they're

295
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trying to make by December. So time
passes, Lisa drags this out, drags this

296
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out, and then drops the bomb on Glamour
Dolls: "If you want this to continue,

297
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
after all this money that you spent,
you're gonna have to pay me $500,000, not

298
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$100,000 anymore. It's $500,000 and you
know when you sell to Hot Topic? You're

299
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not gonna give me 15%, you're gonna give
me 20%." But at that point, they were so

300
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
far deep in it that they couldn't get out
of it. They absolutely couldn't get out

301
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of it. Another place that they probably
spent the backers' money was on Wengie

302
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because remember the call that Peter did
with the backers? He mentions very

303
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
briefly paying for a video. I'll play that
for you.

304
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Peter): We actually didn't make a profit
off of this Kickstarter campaign. I know

305
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's, um, it's a hard thing for people
to, um, to kind of believe with the size

306
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of it. But, um, we have to manufacture all
those goods, uh, we have licensing fees

307
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to pay to Lisa, um, we had to pay for, you
know, uh, for production of the video and

308
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for all these different things.

309
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Jen) I don't know this for a fact but
I think he took the money from the backers

310
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and paid Wengie to make that video.
Who knows how much he paid her because

311
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
influencer rates back then, you know, it
was brand new, you know, influencers

312
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting paid for sponsored videos and
things like that. I have no idea how much

313
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they paid Wengie but I would imagine that
was part of where the money was going and

314
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
why they needed to raise more money.
Because now in December, they not only

315
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have to get all of these 10 products
manufactured but they also have to pay

316
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa this $500,000. Lisa officially had
Glamour Dolls by the unicorn balls. I mean

317
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like, she was-she had them. They had no
choice, in my opinion, if this is the way

318
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it played out, other than to sign that
contract and just hope for the best. If

319
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of this is true - let's say they say
"Screw you Lisa, we're not paying you

320
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$500,000, we're cutting off the contract
now." How do they pay back the backers?

321
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They can't. They don't have the money
anymore. It's gone. They don't have the

322
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
money to pay back the backers so they are
absolutely screwed. Some other things

323
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I found in the Glamour Dolls part of
the lawsuit that I didn't see when I made

324
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the last video that I want to let you know
because now, I imagine at some point,

325
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there'll be a part 3 [laughter] of this
video is that they were saying more

326
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things about how Lisa interfered with the
production of the product. So in the court

327
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
filing, it says "Lisa Frank frequently and
unreasonably rejected already manufactured

328
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
samples without being specific as to the
reason for disapproval." In their filing,

329
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they said that there was a problem with
the Ipsy products. They said "in one

330
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
instance, due to Lisa Frank's failure to
timely provide artwork for the Ipsy sales

331
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
order, Glamour Dolls missed the artwork
deadline and was forced to pay a fine in

332
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the amount of $50,500." The filing
continued on and said that Glamour Dolls

333
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was shipping her out samples and then
she'd be like - 10 business days later -

334
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Oh I lost them, can you send more of
them?" It's like, "wait what? What?" And

335
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in this case, they may not have more
samples because they requested a certain

336
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
number of samples from the lab and then
they mail the samples to Lisa Frank and

337
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
then Lisa loses them so then they have to
ask the lab for more samples and they have

338
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to pay for that and then get those
samples and then send those - wait for

339
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those to come in - then send those to Lisa
and then they have to wait for Lisa to

340
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
approve those. Do you see how it's just
dragging everything out? And you remember

341
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how I said as part of the contract - this
was so, so if this is how it happened -

342
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that part of the contract was that Lisa
would get her artwork back and that's

343
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what she did. She used that artwork on the
Morphe products. The artwork she made for

344
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Glamour Dolls. You can see it on the
Trapper Keeper-style palette that Morphe

345
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had made. But to be true to the title of
this video, Lisa says that "Glamour Dolls

346
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
failed to comply with the inspection and
approval process. Lisa's gonna have to

347
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prove this in court. She's gonna have to
show them the evidence that Glamour Dolls

348
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
didn't go through the proper approval
process because even if it's unfair -

349
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is the thing about the law - even if
it's unfair, even if it's unreasonable, if

350
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Glamour Dolls signed that contract and
said that they were gonna follow a certain

351
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
process, they had to follow that process,
even if it's bull****. And if Lisa can

352
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prove that they did things that were
against the process, then she had a right

353
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to terminate the contract and get her
artwork and then sell it to Morphe. It's

354
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just so fu***d up! [laughter] It's just
so messed up! But we definitely need to

355
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
end this video the same way we ended the
last one in that the most current ruling

356
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by the judge for the 9 claims that Glamour
Dolls has against Lisa Frank - the judge

357
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
only dismissed part of claim 1. That was
the breach of contract; they partially

358
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dismissed that but the judge says that
Glamour Dolls can go forward on part of

359
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the breach of contract and everything
else - including unjust enrichment, fraud,

360
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
defamation, and all of those things -
that they're moving forward with those

361
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
claims, which means that the judge thinks
that Glamour Dolls has enough evidence to

362
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
support that these things happened. Not
that Lisa isn't going to counter with

363
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something else but Glamour Dolls does
have a case to present. And also like I

364
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mentioned in the last video, the last
court filing for this was January 24th,

365
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
2024, so this is going to be ongoing, so I
imagine at some point, there will be a

366
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
part 3. I don't imagine it will be soon
but I said that last time, so [laughter]

367
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who knows? At this point my friend, it is
your turn in the collective brain of

368
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
makeup awesomeness. I would love to know
your thoughts on this new information that

369
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was sent to me and thank you again so much
to the person who calls themself "Fake

370
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Gothic Girl," thank you for sending me the
link to this court document that I

371
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
previously didn't have access to. It
really opened my eyes to a lot of things

372
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and hopefully it added some context to you
- if you watch the first piece - to what

373
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lisa was saying about what was happening
and what her counter suit is all about.

374
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let me know any and all thoughts down in
the comment section down below. Thank you

375
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so so much for watching, I hope you enjoy.
If you would like to hang out just a

376
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
little bit longer, YouTube should be
recommending a couple of videos over here

377
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to watch. I'm gonna put a previous episode
of "Behind the Controversy" down there.

378
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In case you didn't see it, that's a
really good one. If you would like to

379
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
watch the top one, that one YouTube's
picking for you based on your viewing

380
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
history, which video they think that
you're gonna like. But if you gotta go

381
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cuz you have things that you gotta do,
I get it. Thank you for hanging out as

382
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
long as you did and mad love to you and I
will see you in a video very very soon.

383
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bye!
