I would love to see you take the haters to the stand Brooklyn Chick.

Except that you totally shamed and blamed and (attempted) to destroy an innocent and peaceful man on a humongous worldwide platform; opened me personally up to vile criticism as well; and hurt a lot of people who really care about this work. (MEN AND women.)

well, we’ve been replaced in the headline by an article about how Drake shaved his beard off.

I am also a member of SSM and Hot School and proud of it. None of what the article says reflects my experience in SSM whatsoever, and there are a few blatant lies that I wanted to address. I was not recruited by SSM—I was invited by a friend to attend as many events as I wanted before I asked if I could join. Also,…

Hello Anna,

Amen to that! Zero legitimacy here. Way to represent, Brooklyn Chick.

Hells yeah Sista!

International has mentored me for 6 years and I’ve been a member of Superstar Machine from day 1 and it’s been amazing and life changing. This article is not at all consistent with my experience. I know all the former SSM members who have been featured in this article and I don’t at all agree with their…

I posted something on this earlier about my family but if you are truly interested, maybe Anna Merlan could write another article about how International’s teachings have benefited the lives of the many people he’s helped.

You sound way jealous and it doesn’t seem healthy...

This article is so WACK! I’m a proud QUEER member of both Superstar Machine AND IHSR! And I have always...ALWAYS been supported in that.. because that’s who I am authentically. And if there is something that International supports it’s authenic expression! So I can straight up attest that it’s a load of crap that…

My girlfriend is in Superstar Machine. I don’t know much about it because I consider it her business. But this feels way,way off. I’ve met about a dozen of her girlfriends who are fellow members, and all of them seemed perfectly well adjusted and normal- except for Katie Arnold. I had no problem with Katie personally,…

this sounds like an insane and very unhappy, bitter spiteful person. poor you. cringe...

WOW. I can only speak for IHS, but wow, this is crazy. Here was my dinner conversation tonight:

Hey Cringe - or is that Chiara? Nice to hear your perspective. Thanks for sharing.

As a current member of Superstar Machine it saddens me to read this and see a woman whom I used to be close with attack something that she knows means a lot to all the women still here. When Katie A left she only contacted me to suggest I leave also. She never shared her experience with me, only sent aggressive…

“Desperate people prone to magical thinking and a sense that they’re entitled to happiness...” or they’re just desperate enough to project onto people that feel passionate about something that is outside of the box.

I am but way taller, hotter and actually sane. About to jump on Oprah’s couch right about nowwwww!

I’m pretty sure everyone hated on Bill Wilson exactly like this when he started and now millions of people have changed lives because of him. International has already started changing the world and time will tell. If I were someone reading this I would want to study under him just based on the strong responses- it’s…

I just pointed out that the gears in the header image wouldn’t turn in that arrangement, which makes for an awkward mixed metaphor. Either the woman is going to be crushed, or the gears don’t turn. You can’t have both. Shifting one of the gears over just slightly would solve the problem completely. Like so:
