I have been aware of SW for only a couple weeks and it is uncomfortable for me to see someone acting with such malice. She has very low self esteem and appears to do, as typical of the disorder, to pull others down so she looks better. If she is suffering from bipolar disorder, which can give her the power to think she is great, she may not want to take medication which can help but leaves one feeling, er, medicated. It is a sad situation that causes family division and worse. My late mother-in-law was a brilliant woman, brillant. But she was also nuts half the time and could not be reasoned with. The only thing we readers can do in this situation is to try to not be frustrated by her (SW) actions and continue to try to correct the wrong doings in her wake. I personally am glad the mods intervened. If we want to help those unjustly attacked, it needs to be done without emotional, exaggerated and inflaming remarks. The facts speak well enough for themselves and eventually this will be resolved. And unity among those trying to help spread the truth is important also.
Goggle go.full.throttle complaints. This is the same person.
so foxtrot’s (sic)comes out to defend SW after admitting she has not read everything?.
and anyone who challenges that will be called a meanie in advance - because foxtrot has admitted she has not even bothered to inform herself before expressing an opinion.
sigh…
SW is the bully. Maybe save all your righteous indignation to support those innocent people she has attacked.??
The bullet point list:
-
SW had a deal with Jaccoma to do FB and Youtube for $500/mnth. Trade in lessons.
-
after 9 months, SW claimed SJ owed $11,500 and SJ paid $3,500. Claimed SJ still owes $7,500 to $8,000 in fees even though no contracts were signed.
-
SW posted inappropriate content to SJ sites while managing SJ sites, and refused to remove it when asked.
-
SW took SJs videos and content, edited it with SW’s intro, and passed it off as her own content on Horse Junkies, Dressage Hub, and a few other sites. Did this WHILE being social media manager for SJ site.
-
SW slammed SJ as a crook who doesn’t pay her bills.
-
SW started stealing other peoples content, rebranding it as her own, and putting it on her own channels. 99% of what she posts isn’t hers, nor does she have permission to use it.
-
Takes video, rebrands it, and REFUSES to remove it when owner of vid requests it be removed.
-
SW started the “ride above hate” group. Anti-bullying group, claiming SJ and “they” were bullying her.
-
SW attacked Canadian riders.
-
SW edited small portion of SJ GP ride that was judged by an “S” judge, claimed SJ used marshmellow paste in the horse’s mouth, plastered negative comments and her edited video on Dressage hub and youtube.
-
SW stole video of rider who criticized SW, posted it on her FB group requesting people “critique” the rider. Removes any posts that object to the posting of the video.
* SW made infammatory video accusing SJ of abusive practices (again). -
SW claimed “they” were out to get her.
-
SW has called nearly everyone she’s worked with in the past some form of derogatory name.
-
SW claimed death threats were made against her and had to “flee” to a secret location. Then immediately went to a public event and posted public pics of herself there.
-
SW bragged on personal page about finally getting back at SJ.
-
SW now making unfounded accusations against someone else (laminitis).
* Posts on Dressage Hub degrading posts about some riders, then claims viewers either misunderstood the purpose of it, or claims it’s what people want because they click it.
* several other people have stepped forward stating same issues as SJ had with SW.
On and on and on…
You can dismiss this as a “pile on”, but fact remains that SW takes other peoples content and rebrands it as her own. How many vids have you watched on Dressage Hub and known where they originated from? I bet none. Yet, nearly all of them were created by someone else. And when asked to remove it, SW refuses. SW profits from doing this. The people who created the content get nothing.
What we are witnessing is karma coming full on at long last… she is desperately trying to grab any bit of support and attention she can… game over, the cat is fully out of the bag and no one except the totally ignorant are buying the poisonous koolaid… Kind of funny that she ran home (apparently) thinking she was in a safe place to continue shooting her poison arrows but no there is no shelter here for bullying and wannabe somebody who is nobody behaviour. Dusted and done as the British say 
SW, in another public post, is now claiming Jaccoma only paid with 22 lessons. Her numbers jump all over the place. Back in Sept 2013ish SW was claiming the total owed was 6k. Then SW stole all the content and sites and claimed the total owed was 7500. Now its 8k. Give SW another year and the lesson # will be 2 and total owed 10k. What a crock o’#$=&.
Someone asked SW why she didnt just take SJ to court… And SW gave some b.s. about hoping she didn’t have to. It’s only been 4 years!! SW is either the worst business person in the world, or she knows she doesnt have a leg to stand (most likely both).
So Healther Blitz posted a warning on her FB page a while back to let people know about Dressage Hub / SW. Today SW posts a 4 year old video of Heather riding a horse supposedly “pushed to its limit”'at Wellington (continuation of her Susanne Hamilton / Lutz rant). Does she seriously have nothing better to do with her time? I guess at least when she takes on a high profile rider everyone else benefits because the truth will spread even more quickly
When she takes on a high profile rider, her click count goes up, and SW benefits too. Lets be sure not to give her what she’s angling for with this new attack.
Posting screen grabs of relevant material should keep COTH informed with out assisting SW in her pursuit of ‘popularity’.
#TeamHeather
I think it’s so cute how she is basically asserting she’s going to continue bullying people until legal action is taken.
Her poor family.
If you want to help those that have been slandered- completely AVOID her Facebook/Youtube videos and postings. If you click on it- she cashes in - and I mean $$. The best way to shut her up is to dry her business out. As long as people give her attention (positive or negative) and click on her posts and watch her stolen videos- she is doing fine and it fulfills her mission, but you are not supporting those that were slandered, accused and ridiculed.
Just an FYI!
Unlike her Dressage Hub page on FB, unsubscribe her Youtube Channel and forget about her. Thank you!
Scribbler, how do you know she has moved back to Canada?
Loving the screen grabs, keep them coming! A wealth of evidence preserved for posterity.
Nothing more fun than watching a bully do herself in with her own key board.
Yep, circling the drain.
Thank you too whoever started the petition!
Petition:
“Facebook: Remove Dressagehub for bullying and slanderous postings towards Dressage pros”
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Dressagehub_Remove_Dressagehub_from_Facebook
I saw it this morning because it was shared on FB by Janet Foy. So it is getting around hopefully!
I dont blame people for trying this approach- at least it will spread the word
but remember
This person is a troll who by definition thrives on attention. She is getting a lot of attention
I wonder if messaging the duped ones might be more effective,
I found out that I had Liked that page - ?? - so unliked it
next time went back it seemed I had liked it again? No
so ck your settings
scrolling error perhaps
Anyway- not looking any more-TRAINWRECK
SW is aware of it and now posting that she is being bullied. I commented on her ridiculous stance, but thought better of it and deleted the comment before she had a chance to see it.
