@crunchette, don’t give yourself a headache, even Arie and Lauren cannot keep track of their own lies and bs imo. Why in the world would mere mortals be able to do it like you or me??? Arie has a mighty long way to go before becoming a Bach nation hall of fame good guy baddy imo laugh out loud

IDK to me there is a huge difference about representing a business as being charitable and taking money from people(including members of this forum) under the ruse you are providing fresh water for those who don't have in 3rd world countries when in reality the only place that money is going is your own pockets.
Just me of course.
Yes, the thread has been derailed, but in my eye there is absolutely no comparison. Lots of innocent people were bilked, including those needing water.

This is fact?
Do your own research and you can draw your own opinion.
Yes, fans and members here donated money to people water.
Yes, 1F and People Water represented themselves as providing wells for third world countries. Compare the monies collected etc with how many wells provided( I think it was 3 at the time).
If you have other information or updates, I would love to be further educated. Maybe something good is being done for a good cause now that F is no longer associated with the cause.

I don't know how much people here donated but I do know that it takes about roughly 8,000 dollars to actually get a well dug, built, form a committee to oversee the well, train the people there on sanitation and so forth, not to mention travel expenses supplies and getting them there. So if People Water dug 3 wells that's like 24k, that's pretty impressive. So I highly doubt Jef was lining his owns pockets. Just my 2 cents

Quoting Ellen: What kind of human being is he?
Regarding Arie

Not an upright one in my opinion.
It’s not an answer stated on the vid.

@Stone_Hedge I’m confused. Did Ellen ask Becca this on the show and that was her answer?

TIA for clarifying.

I believe the company is out of business now anyway. The number on their website is no longer working. There is no update since March 2017 on any of the social media. Ken Bretschneider, who was the CEO appears to have moved onto other ventures and F has not been affiliated with the company for a long time.

F did take several trips to these countries. I would imagine those were paid for by the company. The company never was a not for profit. So at least for awhile someone was making some money. Each well dug was only approximated to last 2 yrs. The comments on this link are very informative for more info. Starbucks' Ethos water gave more to fund clean water than People Water per bottle sold. (per comments on link)

If People Water never claimed to be a non-profit or a charity then I don't see what makes people associated with it con-artists. Even if they only spent 20k-30k on charity that's still a lot more than nothing. JMOAA.

Anyway, back to the happy couple.

@Stone_Hedge ah, thanks! Got it. I listened to the interview.

I’ve been pretty impressed by the support of both Lauren’s and Arie’s families post ATFR. Glad they seem to have that going forward. yes

Yes that is how I remember it too. They did do a number of wells in Africa. People Water is a for profit business, so yeah, some of the money will be funneled back to the company.

I’m not here to defend 1F ...ick and no thanks. Been there, done that... and I learned he isn’t worth that energy most of the time. laugh out loud

But I do think he got dragged pretty hard and ruthlessly while his show bestie has sometimes gotten off much more easily and gets the kid gloves. Both are questionable at times. Birds of a feather...

Instead we are dealing with some timeline hopping BS, alluring sock pictures being traded, sm stalking, alleged text messages, etc etc. If he was a decent man who was single when he got with the women he truly wanted, there would be far fewer issues all around imo. But he’s not a decent man imo, he exactly what every woman he’s dated has said he is and what I’m guessing Lauren will say imo in about 5 to 7 months too.

Mic drop.

Love the pics! I’m glad they are still sharing pics for their fans. Hugesmile

Why should they take a break from SM? They have the right to post photos of their life just like the rest of the world. Btw, I think Lauren said they were staying off of SM because they thought they would be crucified for Arie's decision. From what I am seeing, there are many positive comments for them and maybe a handful of negative ones. I think they have been surprised that the backlash hasn't been as fierce as they imagined it once might be. Jmo.
