There should be a class action lawsuit!

I’ve never bought any Dixie Belle products but after seeing this, I for sure never will. This is just disgusting.

Dixie Belle USED YOU and the other brand ambassadors, stole your designs and denied you fair compensation and name recognition for your artistic contributions. I'm sad about it, I liked DB products. but I will never ever buy from that company again.

Love your work, your laughter, your enthusiasm for beauty, your teaching abilities, and of course your husband! Thank you. It is you we watch. Not a brand of paint. Blessings to you.

I’m so grateful you shared your story. I will never support them due to their unethical practices and lack of humanity and integrity. SHAME ON THEM! I commend you for walking away from the monetary compensation and starting over to preserve your own integrity. Stay strong, Brandy and thank you for always being an inspiration through your artwork. You’re an incredible business woman, mother, and artist. ♥️

I have followed yours and Crystana’s story from the beginning, it has been disgusting and disappointing what Dixie Belle has done. Since I started painting with Dixie Belle, and your tutorial’s, I had quite an inventory which I have been replacing with new paint lines (TY for the comprehensive video on different paints and paint lines) . Regardless of the quality of the product, I can’t support a business with such poor business ethics and unacceptable treatment of the artists that made them who they are. TY for your strength to make people aware of the ethics of this company and continue your amazing teaching video’s and sharing your artistic talent and knowledge. ❤

Attorneys fix these problems. Contracts are legally binding. If there is a company destroying an artist community you can join together get an attorney and remove them from the community. Letting them continue to treat other artists this way and knowing what they are doing without trying to stop them just harms the community. If everyone comes together maybe you can prevent new artists from potentially destroying their careers before they even begin. Speaking out is good but it essentially does nothing to stop these harmful business practices. As a United fron taking action you CAN make positive changes for this community.

Very RUTHLESS AND SHADY business practices. I have never purchased thier products and never will.

I WILL NEVER BUY DIXIE BELL PAINT AGAIN. 😡 Thank you for sharing your story with us.

I’m disgusted with Dixie Belle. You and the other brand ambassadors should never have had to endure such abuse. Thank you for your honesty and courage in making this public.

I will absolutely NEVER buy Dixie Belle paints or any products ever again!!!!! DB is all I ever used and I’m almost out so, was literally headed to my retailer to stock up tomorrow but now, absolutely NOT. They are stealing, lying and taking advantage of so many. Brandy, I am so sorry you and others are having to deal with this and you are so brave for standing up for the TRUTH! May you have many blessings coming your way. You are amazing, talented and very special! Keep being YOU!

I haven't purchased from Dixie Belle since the video with you and CrysDawna. It's important to stand up for your work and how they treated you and the other ambassadors is just awful. Stealing your money, stealing your work, stealing your content. They deserve a lawsuit. You continue to be an inspiration to all of us.

Hi Brandy, I had the privilege to meet you in the uk last year for PAINTERS BUSINESS CONFERENCE, you are the most humble genuine lovely person I have met. My prayer would be more people speak up and come forward with their stories, so that this company can no longer operate on dishonest strategies. Your are an amazing artist and a wonderful ambassador in all that you do. The truth will always prevail, thank you for sharing. Love from the UK. ❤

Dear Brandy, I have been sick and I didn’t know what was happening to you and other Dixie Belle Ambassadors. This is heartbreaking to hear because I hold you High as a Wonderful Woman and Artist in this Industry and I believe every word you have stated…. Please know that I am in your corner and I am so very sorry that you were treated so badly both professionally and financially….. Brandy, you are in my prayers and my thoughts and please know that you are loved!!! If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask Dear One…. Much Love, Marley from Missouri

Funny how they accused you of being Greedy when IN FACT that was their move !! I've been following you for a long time, anyone who has KNOWS your a Good Person with a Big Heart ❤ Thank You for being Soo Brave and standing up for yourself and Others. God Bless, Good does Conquer Bad 👎 Prayers to you and all others in this fight !!

Thank you Brandy for this truth bomb. Truth sets free👍good on ya.

Been following the industry since last October and hope to enter it in June once I retire from education. It infuriates me to witness this unethical treatment of hardworking artists. I also watched the Undead video and was appalled. Legal action is definitely warranted and if I was a part of this injustice I would most definitely take action. Always speak out for injustice. We don't deserve isolation. We are all worthy of humane treatment!

So sad to hear about how Dixie Belle is treating the brand ambassadors. Yay for you being brave and standing your ground and speaking out. Makes me rethink what kind of paint I want to use from now on. I flip as a hobby but certainly want to support other furniture artists in their endeavor and don’t want to support this company’s illegal shenanigans.

I am seeing you for the very first time. I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been through. You are very brave to tell your story. I was once part of a company that rewarded hard work with a structured compensation plan. And believe me, one had to work very hard to achieve family supporting levels of income. For some reason, greed, I suppose, the company broke faith with all of us and imposed a new payment structure. When we received our next month’s pay, our checks were significantly reduced. Eg. normally $8,000 per month to $500. Everyone was reeling. Needless to say, the company moral collapsed then the company collapsed. So sad, as those were fabulous products. Moral of the story: Fabulous products cannot compensate for greedy business practices.

You’re super classy and this is very well said, It’s typical corporate greed very sad!

I’ve been following you and Crys’Dawna for some time and was absolutely shocked that you were subjected to this when it happened. You’ve both handled it with your head held high and with integrity and you’re both incredibly strong for doing so. A brand should never be allowed to treat people like this, and I hope whatever legal action you take (if you do), not only compensates you all but forces a fundamental change in the brands way of operating. The first painting products I ever bought when I started were DB and after seeing what they put you two through, that’s one brand I will never buy from again - just trying to finish what I’ve got and be done with it!!

Omg...I cannot believe you have been going through this for so long. You are inspirational to me personally. I haven't begun my physical refinishing journey, but I have everything thing I need to get started. I have the courage to start because of your teaching, your encouragement, and your daring! Please stay strong. I am so grateful you have your husband by your side (I am sure this has been challenging for him to see you experience this.) God bless You all You are so stinkn Fabulous 🤗

This needs to BE on the news everywhere! 🚫 Dixie Bell 🚫 I work at a Chamber of Commerce and this really hurts to see this . I am really sorry Brandy ... im happy you shared your story and hopefully others will also step forward and this can be taken further so you can get whats yours back.

I am a hobbyist not a business owner, I have been following you and several other furniture artist on social media for years. Whenever I see you guys paint something I like, I buy all the paint, transfers, molds - everything. I have enough paint to start my own business 😂. I didn’t buy the paint because of Dixie Belle marketing but because of YOU! You and all of the other artists deserved to be compensated. I do not purchase Dixie Belle paint anymore and I thought after what happened with you, they would have learned their lesson and started treating their brand ambassadors better. So sad.

I am appalled at these practices by Dixie Bell paint. You are a person of integrity and I am so sorry you’ve had to go through this.

Brandy, I want you to know I stopped buying any Dixie belle products following yours and Crys’Dawna’s KZfaq video. That was the first I knew about the situation. I will continue to be boycotting Dixie Belle. However, I really do appreciate that you haven’t taken down any of your old videos because I’ve saved a lot of them for inspiration. I’m incapable of doing what you do but even so there’s so many color schemes that you use a techniques etc. that I go back to and review before I do something to be able to use them in my projects and other paint lines have similar colors. I’ve started using wise owl paint and appreciate your help with finding good paint lines. I really appreciate the fact you haven’t taken them down even though you’ve gone through this horrific situation with them.

Brandy, i have followed this since the start. You and CD have dealt with all their BS with such decorum. . I dont know how, i would hit the roof. You and CD are the first people i watched when starting my small upcycling business. I learned everything i know from you both and am incredibley grateful. Thank You. I bought HUNDREDS possibley thousands of euros worth of DB because of you both. I am so sorry this happened, you dont deserve it. Yous were exploited. . 😢 Sending love and strength from Ireland 🇮🇪 Sue those f*ckers!!

I will NEVER purchase Dixie bell paint again, and I'm telling everyone I know not to either! I'm even going to tell the local retailer I know about this and send the video! Terrible company, shame on them!! Thank you for telling your story and making us all aware! Sending hugs your way!

I wish I’d have known this sooner. I’ve just recently started up-cycling decor for myself and have invested quite a bit of money in Dixie belle paint. I will no longer be purchasing any of their items. I’m so sorry you’ve been treated so poorly. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you get justice.

I’ve stopped buying Dixie Belle because of you and Crys’Dawna. I’m so sorry for anyone who has had dealings with them. 😢

I’ve never commented on KZfaq, but here we go: Brandy, for the past 4 months I have been restoring furniture all because one day I came across a video of yours. You’re the first person I followed on this app and religiously wrote down all your tips and suggestions. I saved up to stock up on Dixie belle products and would tune back in just to watch you use them. While this is fairly new to me, no one has ever inspired me like you have. I normally don’t follow up with content creators and their drama with a product but ma’am you’re so much more than that. My loyalty lies with YOU (and Chris of course😆), you’re BRUSHED BY BRANDY, whatever brand you use is lucky to have you mention them. P.s I’m still struggling with blending but I have not lost hope 🤞🏼

I was in the painting community during this time and remember how respectful you were during all of this. You were careful not to slander them and I had to read between the lines to figure out what was happening. This is MUCH more horrific than I thought. This is theft! I used DB because of you and others and decided I didn’t want to support this company any longer and I havnt used them since this all happened. So glad that you’ve finally put out this very clear and truthful explanation of what happened. Several others have shared the exact same experience and I hope more continue to come forward.

Oh my goodness that’s terrible l don’t use Dixie Belle myself too expensive in Uk but without brand ambassadors the paint would not have a fraction of the exposure or custom in sales Unbelievable how a company can do this to a vital part of its business structure well done Brandy much love from Vintage Revamped ❤

Thank you for this information. I’m sorry for what they’ve put you through. I stand with you and will never purchase another Dixie Bell product.

When you first left DB it was very quiet, I just noticed that you were using other paint, When you finally told your audience you were very PC and a real class act. The way you handled their nefarious business practice and how horrible you and the others were treated was above reproach. I can't speak for others but I have quit buying their products and have not since the day you came out with your experience. The best revenge is living well my friend and the fact that you have not missed a beat, you continue to create beautiful pieces makes you the winner! You just continue to be the awesome artist/teacher that you have been and we will continue to support and watch you and not buy DB products LOL. Valorie in Texas BTW would love to have you here if you are still thinking about relocating 😉🙏

Thanks! I didn’t even know Dixie bell company when I started watching you. I watched your videos because of your talent and beautiful painting. I loved how you explained your techniques which gave me the courage to start painting furniture. It was never about the product it was about your talent. I did like the product because until then I had only ever painted with wall paint and so course this was great. I was so devastated to hear how unprofessionally you had been treated and I use other products now. They should be held accountable for the way they treated their partners. I don’t want to be associated with such type people or business that can do this to someone. Thank you for all the talent you share and for all you have done for you customers. I fell I have too be robbed. I especially ordered from you to give back just a small part of what you had given me. You are a professional and so very talented and it is their loss. Love you and you work.

I remember your first post about this I immediately put all Dixie bell paint I had in the BIN !! after following your videos with your fun learning and comments off the cameraman 😊 you are a lovely honest person and I had no reason not to believe you . I’m so sorry this company is still working underhanded but as my dad used to say “ What comes around goes around “ so hopefully one day they will regret their treatment on you and others . Big hugs from the uk !! X

So sorry to hear about this. So sad that they have chosen this path for their business. The quality of their product is the best I have tried. Did fame go to their head? Or a shift in leadership went sour? The wicked run when no one is chasing them, but an honest person is as brave as a lion. Proverbs 28:1-11.

Thank you Brandy for speaking out. You are brave and I hope your business doubles without them.

Breach of contract among other things….. LAWYER UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sad that companies are like this. I'm so sorry you guys are going through this. I will no longer be using Dixie Belle paints. What a shame. Disgusting business practices will only destroy their business! But that's ok... Many paint companies to choose from. Love you and your work! You inspired me to start my own designs. Thank you!

You are such an inspiration and you should be so proud for standing up for yourself! You did the right thing!

I’m really saddened to know you have been treated so terribly. It’s gross that others made it go so far your family could have been put at risk. To steal your designs is just disgusting when artists are their lifeline! I’m just starting my journey with painting furniture. But going forward I’m not going to purchase from this company. You are one of my favorite designers. You deserve respect.

Bravo! If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything! Integrity matters in business and in life, and clearly Dixie Bell has none. Shame on them. Vote with your dollars folks, and stop supporting an unethical business, much less at the expense of hard working artists who deserve better!

All you wanted to do is share your incredible talent of making beautiful art with painted furniture, and you endured such a horrible experience. I’m so sorry to hear this story but also pleased to see your many supporters. Carry on with your beautiful work. You can create your gorgeous pieces using other quality paint and products. Cheering you on! ♥️

I had seen that Dixie Belle is a predatory company from the beginning and it is refreshing to see that you have severed your relationship with the company. I have seen that you have integrity and I was surprised you were with the company at all. I saw immediately when they did not allow brand ambassadors to use other products that their practices were predatory, indeed they took ownership of artists. I had questioned, or critiqued the company in a group, as I recall it was a question about a product that was not Dixie Belle and I was banned from the group. Any company that silences speech, and especially a company that works with artists with original ideas is predatory and should not be trusted. I do hope more people start to see this to stop using their products. I have never used Dixie Belle paint again, because I saw the psychopathic behavior of this company right away. It doesn't surprise me at all that they are stealing from and exploiting their brand ambassadors. Something tells me they were never a small company. Large megacorporations develop too many companies to count to deceive people to believe they are small private companies when they are not. Small companies with passion for the company they create don't conduct themselves in the predatory manner that Dixie Belle has most especially right from the beginning.

I am so sorry for what you’ve been through. I haven’t bought Dixie Bell since you left them as a Brand Ambassador. And I will NEVER buy from them again. This is such appalling behavior. I hope a good lawsuit gets them in the end! Way to keep your head high through this.

Thank you for bravely sharing your story. This must be a very stressful situation to deal with. I'm really sad to hear this because I really enjoyed the product but won't be buying it again. Many blessings to you, your business, and your family.

I have been a follower of yours and the other previous painters that were with this company when I first began following y’all. I love your designs and the talent you share. I have continued to use Dixie Belle Paint only due to the fact that there is a store that sells their products and I can run in and purchase what I need. I will stop paying for these products and start using other products as a result of how DB has treated you and the others. You are extremely talented and you have a good heart and a great sense of self, and encouragement for others. I stand behind you 100%. Thank you for sharing this story and helping others to understand what happened.

My heart goes out to you. I have followed your work over the years, and for a company to do this to you and others after you helped them grow their business is egregious and morally wrong. You will come out of this because I have watched your talent, and it is immense! Many prayers to you!

Brandy, you are a very talented furniture artist, I watch your videos quite often. I intend to try a lot of your techniques. I'm astonished that a popular brand like DB, could treat artists the way you and other BAs have been treated. I don't use their paint (I use AS), although I have used a couple of their other products. However, after listening to your story, I won't be using anymore of their products. Take care and know that you are admired by the furniture painting community ☺️

you go girl...It is so sad that dixie bell, should use people for their own gain, and not have the decency to compensate them, are they going through a cash flow problem, or can they just not make it on their own, but had to milk others brain for their company to work. they do not seem professional at all, with the disgraceful way of handling this whole situation on social media, what company fights like a 4 year old child like this, they really need some courses in handling matters as such. i hope this does not stop you painting as i have gained so much by watching you. You are the known one on social media not them, and you will still have the same following as what you had. you do not need dixie bell to do this. i think they have done enough damage to their own brand themselves with the way this was handled, people are not stupid. in any case although you promoted dixie bell, im from south africa where it is not available, and got the same effect with other brands. don't worry they have started their own downfall, and soon they will have to change brand names to exist. put on all your previous videos, ANY BRAND CAN BE USED NOT JUST DIXIE BELL.

Stand in your Truth. Your time, artistry, creativity and skills are of value and worth. You are an inspiration to people in the world who know how challenging it is to be able to actually work and support themselves in a creative industry. Your passion is contagious and I hope you take comfort in the fact that no matter how DB exploited you, YOU don’t disappear. It’s only because of YOU (not the paint itself) that you have received success and you will survive. BETRAYAL is one of the most painful experiences. It turns your world upside down. I hope you find solace and your voice in others brave enough to stand in their own light like you. Take up the charge to fight for this injustice. Let the people who believe in you witness and support you. You’re fighting for more than money…you are fighting for injustice and that’s noble and inspiring. Whether you wanted it or not, you have a voice that most of us will never have and you can make a difference. DB has betrayed the wrong creators imo.

I’m sorry you went through that Brandy, I remember you were very helpful to me a while back on a Facebook group when I was asking for advice on blending. Hold your head up girl, your work is beautiful, don’t let the bullies get you down ❤

Thank you for such a clear, concise explanation and I am glad you all are working together (hopefully with attorneys) to further your case. You're so phenomenally talented! I hope you're able to be compensated for not only the work you've done and the sales you made, but for the hardships they put you all through.

I am so sorry you have been through this horrible experience. I really hope that all of you (the original group of ambassadors) will file a class action suit against D.B. I am absolutely appalled hearing what they did to you all!! I will never purchase another thing from them!! Please be encouraged and continue to produce gorgeous pieces of furniture, you are an extremely talented artist and you have such a sweet spirit. God’s got you and you will recover all you lost❤🙏🏽

The one seller of that line of paint in my area has discontinued selling the products. I suspect they are not doing well. There were not many sellers in this area to begin with.

Good morning, darlin. Don't let this stress unbalance your crown again. x

It's hard to speak out because there are too many people that just want everyone that disagrees with them to shut up. I for one will make sure myself as well as the people I teach do not use their products. Thank you for having the courage to speak up!

Courage is Contagious!! I am so happy to see people standing up for what is right. I am so sorry for what people have gone thru & I am glad to see that something is being done about it now.

That greed is what will kill them as a brand. There is no need to step on anyone to make yourself taller. So gross!

You are brave to speak out. I hope that people will boycott Dixie Bell.

Thank you for having the courage to share the truth. I have been planning on buying some Dixie Belle paint, but now I will not be supporting this company. This company should not continue in business. The public really needs to be aware.

God love you Brandy for having the courage to speak out on this. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and the truth always eventually comes out. ❤

So sorry you are having this problem. I am looking for a good paint for some small projects so DB will be remove from my list of consideration.

I am so sorry that you have been put through so much duress. Thank you for sharing with us!

You are an awesome lady and I am so sorry this company did this to you. I will Never buy anything else from this company. Thank you for your courage!

Thank You Brandy for your courage in hearing this very important insight of a corrupt business practice by Dixie Belle Paint. I was just starting into furniture painting at that time and could not understand the roadblocks I was facing and now I fully understand I was being saved from this type of corruption. You have and continue rise above corruptive manipulation and out pace them. Thank you for the heads up and bless you Brandy and your family. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for telling your story. This has to be so difficult to relive. Doing the right thing is almost always more difficult. ❤

I was going to try some Dixie Belle products but by chance came across this video. Guess I will stick with my Fushion Paint. I am sorry this is happening to these small business people.

So sorry you went through all that! The personal attacks, including your family, and the loss of your business and damage to your reputation must have been devastating. Thanks for having the courage to speak out and support Cassidy!

Thank you. I haven't yet & will not spend a dime with Dixie Belle. I pray you and others exploited and defrauded by Dixie Belle will get capable legal help to get you the best compensation possible for your trouble.🙏

Randy I am so sorry you and others are going through this. You inspired me with your energy, your work. Class action suit. We who have followed you, know and believe in you. You have my support.

I support you!! What a low down pathetic way of doing business. I know you have so much respect for your self and don’t ever give up on your artistry

I wish so badly you would have sued this company, you really still should it’s outrageous and a clear breach of contract not to mention you have actual damages as this has harmed your business. Keep sharing your story we are all here to support you, I personally appreciate you sharing your truth I had so many problems with this company starting 4 years ago when they lied about the kind of paint they made.

Its sad to learn about the utter lack of integrity & professionalism. I admire you for refusing to be bought.

I met you and Crystana in Atlanta at a DB Belles and something workshop and fell in love with both of you! Y’all’s work is true quality design and so inspiring. It saddens me that the people you trusted have treated you so terribly. Your video is so well presented and I’m proud of you for coming forward with the truth. God bless!

I followed you in the beginning when I knew nothing about painting furniture. You are an excellent example of someone that cares about sharing knowledge 🌼. You can’t buy character it is built in a lifetime. I am 75 now and I am building my final career saving things from the dump for others to enjoy. I have a very large stash of Dixie Bell paint. There products are of very good quality. But I have also learned that if the ethics of owners and top management change in a negative way so will the quality of what they offer. I am not a protestor it’s useless and falls on deaf ears. I am deciding to no longer purchase their products. Just like my vote it doesn’t make much difference in what happens but I think it is more important to do what is right even when no one else does. Good luck with your business and may all your days be filled with joy.

I’m so sorry to hear this! I love You and your work! You are AMAZING! You are such a strong, beautiful woman and have handled all this so well. Such grace and compassion. TOTALLY support you, Cassidy & all the artists this has affected. I’m just starting out and truly LOVE painting, in part due to you and your work. No more DB for this girl! ❤

That’s shocking ! Somehow I missed this so thank you for this video. I can’t even imagine how hard this was to you and the other artists. I used their products quite often but i won’t buy any new ones. I can’t support a company like that. I hope you will somehow got a compensation for the income you lost and for everything they put you through. I don’t know you personally but you always seem to be a very nice person. You are full of inspiration and i learned a lot from you which I’m grateful for . I don’t usually speak for other people but this time i can easily say that we are all with you. Looking forward to see more of your content, take care. Radek from Rad Inspirations

I have been slowly transitioning to other paint lines. It's so hard for those of us that are novice and non-professional hobbyist...but I am making that transition! It is a shame that a company that vibes wholesome small business would turn against those that helped to grow their bottom line. I'm sure they won't feel the absence of my business but when people ask how I gave my furniture pieces a makeover I would direct them to Dixie Belle and your videos. Now I direct them to Wise Owl, Annie Sloan, and ofcourse your videos, Crys’Dawna, and Kacha`. There are others I like as well but my style seems to be some sort of "Rosemary's Baby" of the three. Sometimes you just need to stand up for what is right and if you and others are going to take a stand, we will stand with you. I still have yet to find a gold gilding wax I like as much so HELP!!!

That was horrible what they did to you! I can see it has taken a toll on you. I wish only good things to happen to you because you are truly a creative professional painter and artist. 💕

I have learned so much from you; I respect you as a person and an artist. I'm so sorry that you have gone through this, but you have the grace and class to overcome. These business practices are despicable, unethical, and unprofessional. I suspect there are other predatory companies like this one that have no problem ripping off artists and crafters. Wishing you every success, you deserve much better. You are loved and supported by so many!

Brandy, I’m so sorry that you have been through so much. Thank you for having the courage to speak out against these despicable business practices. I have such respect for your honesty. I have never purchased another Dixie Belle product since you left as a brand ambassador. You are such an incredible inspiration not just with your artistic talent you are so willing to share but as a person of such integrity. Wising you the best with your future endeavors. ❤️

I am so sorry for your difficulties with Dixie Bell Paint Co. They sound ruthless and I will never again buy their products. Thank you for speaking up. Stay strong, this too will pass.

Just watched you tell your story again about Dixie Bell paint and I think you have taken the high road and you will be greatly rewarded for it. I am hoping that a whale with a sense of fairness sees this story and decides to partner up with you and start up a new paint and transfer line! I love your work. I was so ecstatic to get a reply from you! Keep on keeping on! We are with you and stay strong! Yours, Sincerely Linda Person. (I know my last name is weird but it is what it is) lol!

This leaves me speechless! This is truly unbelievable. Thank you for letting us know what has happened! 🙏💚

Rock on! Boycott Dixie Bell! We need to remind them we have power and their treatment of you is reprehensible! You are a warrior of ethical practice and our hearts are with you.

What an absolutely, horrible company DB is! What they have put you and other brand ambassadors through shows who they are. I'm in my 4th year of refinishing furniture and you and Crys’Dawna are the first artists I starting following. What I have learned from you is invaluable and I thank you so much. I am so sorry about what this horrible company has put you and others through. Since all of this, I have not and will never purchase anything from DB. Besides, there are so many other WAY better products out there, lol! Take care, Brandy. I know what you did had to have been so difficult but it was the right thing to do. Organizations like DB need to be exposed. They got greedy and I hope it bites them big time!

Dixie Belle should be held accountable for there under handed business practices. The artists that have been ripped off should sue them.

Glad you posted this, we needed to know this and I have followed Brandy long enough that I trust her! Thank you Brandy I know this wasn’t easy.

I found you a few years ago and was so inspired by your energy and beautiful pieces. I always thought you were such a genuine person with a good ability to teach and make people believe we could do it too! Thank you for sharing your story. I spent money on Dixie Bell paint in the past, but will not again. I’m an artist too, and I stand with all of you! Best of luck with whatever you do in the future. ❤

Sending you a big hug!! What a nightmare!!

So sorry that happened to you. I have a furniture flipping side business. I stopped buying DB when I learned about their business practices. Stay strong Brandy.

I think you’re amazing Brandy for coming out and telling the story! I worked in the healthcare industry, so I know how it is to be taken advantage of for your hard work . As you were talking, I thought what would I do if I didn’t see Brandy’s videos anymore , it would be devastating😢

Thank you for your transparency. Your experiences will greatly help others, and also send business to honest supply houses. Blessings. 🤗

You have grounds for a major lawsuit. This is incredibly infuriating.

I am so sorry this happened to you and so many others. I’m not into the paint industry, although I watch furniture flipping shows, but I am into the paper crafting business. I love homemade greeting cards. That being said, I have often wondered how many companies are doing this type of thing to their influencers/brand ambassadors on KZfaq. It’s very sad to say the least. Short of hiring a lawyer, you have little recourse. I’m glad you came and told your story. Please share the link of the person you spoke about. I cannot find anything about this issue when I search on KZfaq.

I’m glad you’re speaking out. You handled this with integrity and grace. Hopefully this will get lots of views and keep more artists from being used.

I use a number of paint brands and I've never had any brand loyalty but considering the way you were treated, and with so many other good brands to choose from, there is no need for me or anyone else to buy from a company that treats its people so badly. Thank you for sharing your story.
