Texas' Attorney General is suing fitness influencer Brittany Dawn, accusing her of misleading customers with eating disorders and promising customized nutrition and fitness plans while really giving patrons the same plan.

The lawsuit by AG Ken Paxton seen by Insider alleges that for fees as high as $300 per person, Dawn sold largely similar fitness plans while claiming they were personalized to each customer.

The Christian influencer —who has nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram, describes herself as a "Jesus seeker" and "Kingdom chaser" in her Instagram biography — promised individualized feedback and regular check-ins that never happened, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Dawn charged shipping fees, when all her services arrived via electronic communications.

Only professional affirmative-action government officials are authorized to communicate anything to anybody.

All others will be prosecuted.

Bad health advice is a crime? If the DA is opening this can of worms, when is he going after Quaker Oats, General Mills, the AMA, Pfizer, Vegans.....

Libertarian here. Government’s first job is to protect it’s citizens. Here you have a bad business dealer(alleged). That’s a lot of work for a judge to oversee. When it comes to weight control who’s to blame? Does it require a judge? One way to cut out the unnecessary lawsuits is loser pays. How far along is it?

I don’t know. It seems to me that, in the end, it was still just advice, not a mandate.

“Bad health advice is a crime? “

She claimed a customized plan but for $300 you got the same plan as all the other suckers.

If the Govt’s first job is to protect it’s citizens then it should address the bigger threats first. I can think of a whole slew of things in Texas far more dangerous to citizens and a diet adviser. Seems a misplaced priority.

Of course, it’s safer going after diet coaches than MS13.

Bad health advice is a crime?

Only Fauci, Gates, and Democrat leadership can make money on bad medical advice!

“misleading” and “promising” are the key words.

She didn’t hold them down and shoot them up. It was still their decision.

Hell, half the salespeople in America would be in jail if we start jailing them for “misleading” and “promising” claims.
