I fell down the instagram rabbit hole of "spilling tea" and came across this account that calls out all the "influencers". www.instagram.com/girlgangz773/?hl=enIn her stories, she had screenshots of quite a few Bachelor "stars" who took PPP loans for their "companies". The tea is rolling in and now it's other reality people like Brody Jenner, Braunwyn, etc. They got thousands of dollars for their "employees" some in excess of $100,000. She's saving it in her highlights and adding to it when she gets updated info. It looks like TMZ has picked up on some of it too. www.tmz.com/2021/06/28/bachelor-stars-colton-underwood-tayshia-adams-received-ppp-loans/This is absolutely disgusting. Could these slime balls sink any further? Edit to add: PPP is a Paycheck Protection Program, essentially a give away by the federal govt that does not have to be paid back.

What is a PPP loan??? The whole influencer world has gotten out of control.
ETA: I just saw what PPP stood for in the article. DISGUSTING is right!

it is as much the fault of the government for approving these PPP funds.
so, so many businesses got PPP funds, that, IMO, should not have.

The number of employers who have reported that they don't have employees to the agency I work for but have received these loans is astounding and disturbing.

Oh you should see how many YouTubers got PPP loans too! LoveMeg is one of them.
And here we had actual small businesses struggling and these assets took money from them. Disgusting and I hope they have to pay it all back and then some..

Who decided how the money was divided up? Shame on them, and the people who really didn't need the money.

They still have to prove that they used the money for payroll of essential business expenses like rent, electricity, etc. I had to turn in proof when I applied for forgiveness for our companies PPP loan

Just because they created an LLC doesn't make them a real business that deserved this money.
