‘Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City’: Whitney Rose’s Husband Justin Rose Is Being Sued For Running Pyramid Scheme
Bravo is preparing to help us all through the winter doldrums with a new Real Housewives franchise, and judging from last night’s series premiere of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, fans are certainly in for a drama-filled treat.
One of the cast members, Whitney Rose, got fans interested when she confessed that she had an affair with her husband while he was her boss. That was 10 years ago, and they are still going strong.
But her husband has some baggage of his own, including a lawsuit against the company he works for.
He gets paid big bucks to run a direct sales company that sells supplements, but they’re in court over claims that the whole operation is a big pyramid scheme.
What does Justin Rose do for a living?
When we say he is in direct sales, we don’t mean he’s sending his friends invitations to LuLaRoe parties.
He’s actually an executive who has worked at the top of various direct sale companies for decades.
In addition to NuSkin, where he met Whitney, he has worked for Shaklee and Melaluca.
He is currently the chief sales officer for a company called LifeVantage that sells a line of dietary supplements.
Like all direct sales companies, LifeVantage relies on individuals to sell products and recruit additional sellers into the “downline” to expand the reach of the company.
We don’t know what the direct sellers earn from working there but Rose is reportedly paid over a million dollars per year in salary and bonuses.
The Justin Rose LifeVantage lawsuit, explained:In 2018, LifeVantage was the subject of a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company is an illegal pyramid scheme.
Rose, along with other executives at the company, was named in the suit as a defendant.
The case is still ongoing and a judge recently dismissed all but one of the claims against the company for lack of evidence but allowed the part of it being a pyramid scheme to move forward.
What the suit alleges is that the company is structured so that recruiting other sellers is the only way to make money; simply selling products isn’t a way to earn income and many sellers actually lose money.
That’s against the law for direct sales companies. They have to make it possible for sellers to earn money just from product sales in order to be operating legally. – Source
