Girl, Stop Apologizing Needs to Apologize

she is so clueless. I thought she made her money BECAUSE she was (trying to be) relatable. Apparently not. Or else she forgot that.


when a commenter replied 'that Rachel is not relatable, that’s when things took a turn for the even more bizarre. After a condescending laugh, Hollis asks rhetorically, “What is it about me that makes you think I wanna be relatable?” seemingly forgetting about the massive $3 million empire she’s built off of putting forth the idea that her lifestyle is attainable if you simply do pithy things like “wash your face” and “stop apologizing”.

“No, sis,” she continues, “literally everything I do in my life is to live a life that most people can’t relate to. Most people won’t work as hard. Most people won’t get up at 4am” (to do what, she doesn’t say). “Most people won’t fail publicly, again and again, just to reach the top of the mountain. Literally every woman I admire in history was unrelatable.” Then she sneers, “if my life is relatable to most people, I’m doing it wrong.”

If you haven’t cringed all the way back into your mother’s womb yet, Rachel captioned the video, “Harriet Tubman, RBG, Marie Curie, Oprah Winfrey, Amelia Earhart, Frida Khalo, Malala Yousafzai, Wu Zetian… all Unrelatable AF. Happy Women’s History Month!” '




And then she tried to say she wasn't comparing herself to those women... 'oh, no, that's not what I meant, at all!'   

all I can say is I'm glad I never paid any $$ for her book and I'm sorry for all the people who did.

There is a long list of truly educated, intelligent women. Some psychologists and psychiatrists. PhDs. Truly profound thinkers. And still the public will choose Girl, Wash Your Face. It's so disappointing.

This whole article is disappointing. She is disappointing. That people listen to her is disappointing.

I read the article first, then watched the Tik Tok video. OMG, it was worse than I imagined. She is hideous. I hope she loses most of her followers after that. 

I never read her book. I didn't get it. I already wash my hair?

She's so offensive. And the "sis" part was really grating. No. Go away.

She has a lot of caucasity.

I couldn't believe that Oprah had her as one of the speakers on her Your Life in Focus tour in February 2020-on the same program as Michelle Obama. Rachel talked graphically about the time when she had forgotten that she left her tampon inside for a whole cycle. And how her husband didn't say anything "was different in there" when she said she felt funny because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. This was right after lunch and I was repulsed. I wasn't surprised when I heard they were divorcing a few months later.

I liked how she said she admired Rachel Cargle and then she deleted Rachel Cargle's comments on her IG post. The audacity of that chick. Now everyone's waiting to see what her STBX will say, I guess he has been her handler in the past?

I hope this hits her pocketbook hard, that's probably about the only thing she understands.

I haven't read her books. 
I only know who she is because of this message board.

I clicked on the link, and read the dialogue. 
She comes across as very arrogant, self important, and ignorant. Speaks as if everyone is beneath her. Definitely not humble.

She strikes me as the type, that is obnoxious and struts around arrogantly.
Probably a name dropper. Let me go get my name brand purse out of my name brand car, while wearing my name brand clothes. 
Referencing her housekeeper as "my toilet cleaner" is derogatory and offensive. 

She certainly hasn't learned the theory of "don't anger, insult, put down, bite the hand that feeds you". No one is invincible. 

Of course I've seen her book around, but I haven't read it, nor do I really 'get' who she is.
I have read the linked article, and I don't see what she needs to apologize for...?

If that's who she is, and that's what she thinks then she has a right to say it, and people who don't like can choose to no longer interact with/buy her products (or whatever she does). If she doesn't care that some people will dislike her for her opinions, then I don't see why she needs to apologize for them.

As for this idea of people complaining that she isn't "who they thought she was"? Really...really? people believe that shit? C'mon. Just because someone has some books out that tell you a whole bunch of stuff about how they [supposedly] live their lives and have websites and followers doesn't make any of it real, or true.
Do women really believe these lies other women put out about themselves on places like Instagram? do they think these women are 100% perfect selfless people with no flaws? If you do, then you're a fool and the joke's on you.

So this one thinks she's worked hard (I have no idea if she has or hasn't) and think she deserves a house cleaner and thinks she's privileged (and she probably is) then why should she apologize for saying those things?
I will never understand how people fawn over celebrities, follow them around buy their stuff etc thinking they are perfect humans. It's smoke & mirrors and surely we all know this by now?

I dont think Dave will say much at all, publicly anyway. I fully expect Rachel to blame mental illness and stress, go away for awhile and then come back. This girl will never learn her lesson because she views everyone beneath her. 

Wait...who?

Huh, interesting..... when I looked earlier today after first reading this thread, she had 1.7 million. So she has lost around 100,000 in the last five hours or so.

ETA: And that is probably why they finally took the video down, in an attempt to prevent her losing any more followers. 

pjaye said: If that's who she is, and that's what she thinks then she has a right to say it,

I agree with this. I also think she should say it so the people following her are aware. Transparency, if you will.

I still have the right to judge her for it. I didn't have a clue who she was until I think it was @zingermack posted about her divorce. They were running marriage retreats or some such shit right up until the end.

I'm just tired of the glorification of people who have no credentials. So personally I'm glad she said it. Because I think people turn to people like her because they are relatable. In other words it's much easier to read her book about how to live than to actually read psychology and take a deep look at yourself. People don't want to dig that deep and look to the experts. They just want enough money for someone to "clean their toilets" and a pretty face. Surface level.

Thank you!  I have NO clue who this person is.
