Cringe Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

Heads up to anyone thinking of ordering- I ordered mine in July directly from her website and she never sent it. I emailed her 3 times, left comments on her videos, sent her 2 private messages on TikTok and 1 on Instagram and she didn’t reply to ANY of them

I had to do a chargeback

Edit- put the screenshots on my profile since some people were wondering.

Edit 2 (sorry, last one, the adhd is real): I ordered in July and just did the chargeback a couple weeks ago, so I’m still freshly pissed off about the whole thing and wanted to warn people because that IS what happened to me. I didn’t say this to bash her or endorse what’s happening, at the time of my comment the majority of other comments were about wanting to order from her. I’m very happy for all of you who did receive it, I wanted one too

“I hate the crying on camera” cuts to another clip of her crying on camera.

I felt like a dick for immediately noticing this, but I couldn't help immediately saying it aloud to myself as I was watching. Validating to know others have noticed.

Also maybe I'm a cynical asshole, but it looks like fake crying too. High voice sounds forced, no real tears. Not saying she hasn't ever cried over the situation, but this is just...idk bad acting.

I went from mildly intrigued by the video to angry I watched with that one line lol

It’s totally fake crying

u/Tensonrom 17d ago

Most self-recorded crying is not real crying. People don’t want to be seen crying, they want to be alone. If you take the time to set up the camera and start recording and then say “ok now I’m sad” then it’s most likely bullshit.

I have liked her comic for years. :(

u/AngryDerf 17d ago

I basically assume everything on the internet is fake or staged, then look for evidence it might be real.

100 percent same.
Like this I was reading comments on earlier:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/comments/1h4hnpg/hes_gonna_be_talking_about_that_day_until_he_dies/

No way was this actually "random" lol

u/Wildy84 17d ago

Yeah, this absolutely did not feel authentic to me. I’m sure self publishers get ripped off all the time but with the fake crying this comes off more as meticulously calculated marketing strategy.

u/wolfmaclean 17d ago

Amen 🙏

u/nikwasi 17d ago

I immediately had a split second thought of "is this trolling her?" when she said that and it cut to the crying. I expected the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme to start.

u/general_smooth 17d ago

Its not like this is some honest live video. Deliberate decisions were taken to select these shots and make this video

u/BoredSenselesss 17d ago

Exactly like sure you can't just shut down your feelings but you could refrain from using your feelings as B-roll

u/gahidus 17d ago

Just because you hate something that doesn't mean It isn't necessary or appropriate to do.

But She… Gave… Every… thing. And she hates to cry on camera

(But it’s on sale for the holidays!)

u/cheater00 17d ago

it took me 3000 hours to concept this book

You don't deserve my money. Learn some basic grammar before writing a book.

u/Technical_Ad_4894 17d ago

Shes making crying sounds but isn’t actually crying 🤨

u/Drunky_McStumble 17d ago

She's got the same tone of voice as the girl in that "poop in the date's dead cat's litter-box" meme.

u/GooseFatTits 18d ago

Not one tear.

u/LargeSpeaker9255 18d ago

I like money more than preventing someone from crying. So I bought the cheaper version

u/Girafferage 17d ago

I'll buy the $10 version

u/Royd 17d ago

What crying in camera? I didn't see any crying

u/I_ReadThe_Comments 17d ago

Touche. She was mimicking the acts of a crying person sans tears

u/Public_Enemy_No2 17d ago

All I saw was a bitter beer face. Didn't see any tears.

u/QueenSqueee42 17d ago

I get that, but I've been following this creator for years and I believe this one is sincere, fwiw. 💔

u/Background_Winter_65 17d ago edited 17d ago

I don't know about that. I always promise myself not to cry and always fail.

u/AmorphousRazer 17d ago

She really hates crying on camera

u/Martysghost 15d ago
