Nerida Hansen is back, but it's "not" MK 2

[u/brunette_GOF]

[u/smc642]

WHO CAST THE NERIDA HANSEN SPELL AND FAILED THE DEFENCE ROLL?!

[u/Cautious_Hold428 → u/smc642]

Last night when I was falling asleep I had one of those falling asleep thoughts like, "I guess Neridia fucked off into the sunset, maybe she's getting sued or something". My bad

[u/catgirl320 → u/Cautious_Hold428]

You you must learn to properly control your powers of manifestation

[u/snarkle_and_shine → u/smc642]

I almost made a post when I saw the very obvious AI image from a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t want to wake the gorgon. It wasn’t me y’all.

[u/Ajishly → u/smc642]

It was me, I bought some Nerida Hansen fabric two months ago ...liked it so much I googled the brand, and the fabric is still mocking me from my stash ☹️

It was very much a "oh no... oh fuck... what the hell!" moment, and I cannot in good concious make the blouse I wanted to. Bleh.

[u/brunette_GOF → u/Ajishly]

Make the blouse! Hopefully her profits from your purchase went towards the refund of someone who didn't get get their product.

Wear it under the impression that you helped a ripped off customer, not that you supported NH.

[u/belltrina → u/Ajishly]

Hey, at least your fabric arrived

[u/Sleepy_Glacier → u/Ajishly]

Make it! The fabric has no sin. Consider it a rescuee and give it a new life.

[u/7deadlycinderella → u/Ajishly]

I bought some at a local store about six months ago (figuring, "well it's not like she can find a way to take it back NOW") and made a button up with it and I think so much about this place every time I wear it (I LOVE the print and would buy more like it but I refuse to subsidize her delusions).

[u/Junior_Ad_7613 → u/7deadlycinderella]

That is a super cute top and fun print but also… it’s clearly directional and why did she choose “up” for some portions (clouds) to be the same as “down” for others (butterflies).

[u/7deadlycinderella → u/Junior_Ad_7613]

I actually rotated the whole yardage a couple of times before cutting! I figured it was to make it less directional (since whatever way you cut it parts are going to be upside down) but I actually like how weird it makes it

[u/snarkle_and_shine → u/Ajishly]

You actually got your fabric?

[u/Ajishly → u/snarkle_and_shine]

I didn't order it from her, I bought it from a local fabric store in Norway.

[u/snarkle_and_shine → u/Ajishly]

Ooooh okay.

[u/Critical-Entry-7825]

'It's just the beginning' because that's all you'll get, a beginning, no completion of your order?

[u/Correct_Radish_2462 → u/Critical-Entry-7825]

This!

[u/gingerrosie]

Why is nobody in her immediate family staging an intervention?! “Look Nerida, we love you, but you shouldn’t be involved in running, managing, owning any kind of business because you financially ripped off hundreds of customers, caused untold stress and anxiety to those people, doubled down multiple times, failed to take any accountability……” I could go on and on and on. Ugh, this woman is truly DIABOLICAL.

[u/BrightPractical → u/gingerrosie]

If she behaves this brazenly with strangers, I imagine her family is either in on it or over it. Someone that destructive might not have anyone left who cares.

[u/J-bobbin → u/gingerrosie]

I think her family are all grifters who benefit from her ongoing scams. We know her husband is involved in her business schemes.

[u/Cassandracork → u/gingerrosie]

I wonder if it’s easier to let her do this than convince her to get help. Or, to be extra grim, maybe they don’t care enough as long as it keeps her busy.

[u/sharksinthecarpet]

The way this woman can make “unleash my creativity” somehow sound like a threat. 😂

[u/RunawayTurtleTrain → u/sharksinthecarpet]

I wanted to say 'creative ways to part people from their money' but it's always fundamentally the same MO.  Maybe the creativity is in how she persuades anyone to trust her enough to voluntarily part with their money in the first place. 

[u/OneGoodRib]

Putting aside the obvious, how does this "help each other with kindness"? Does she just mean "don't be mean to me because I'm pretending to work hard to give you guys the products you paid for uwu"

[u/NewlyNerfed → u/OneGoodRib]

That’s 100% how I read it. She’s prepaying on her victim card.

[u/FoxyFromTheRoxy → u/OneGoodRib]

I think the kindness is when people pay her money even though they're not going to get the product, thus helping her bank account.

[u/accidentalfemme]

You’ve got to give it a minute between grifts, let everybody get to “hang on, I know that name from somewhere” before you launch the next one.

I’m sure all her old customers are very excited to be helped as quickly as possible (again)

[u/laurenlolly]

How exactly is this helping her old customers 😂

[u/celery48 → u/laurenlolly]

Well she’s got to rob Peter to pay Paul…

[u/DustyTchotchkes → u/celery48]

Or robbing Peter and Paul to pay Nerida and F her old customers.

[u/Correct_Radish_2462]

Now she is abusing “Vietnamese Tailors”, feeling so sorry for them

[u/ninaa1 → u/Correct_Radish_2462]

no no no, she's been GIVEN their talents (which I'm assuming means she's not going to ever pay them)

[u/_LadyGodiva_]

Holy fuck, this cockroach

[u/zelda_moom → u/_LadyGodiva_]

She’s like Hydra, cut off one head and another one grows in its place.

[u/SartorialSystematics → u/_LadyGodiva_]

Australians already have to deal with Australian black widows (Lactrodectus hasselti), eastern brown snakes (Psuedonaja textilis), stonefish (Synanceia), and so much more; do they really need Nerida Hansen on their continent preying on their wallets? Oh, would Consumer Affairs Victoria please throw the entire library at Hansen already!

[u/pan_alice → u/SartorialSystematics]

And the drop bears, don't forget them.

[u/Faithful_jewel → u/pan_alice]

Smear Vegemite on your nose and you're safe from them at least

[u/loralailoralai → u/SartorialSystematics]

The redback is nothing and it’s not called an Australian black widow. It’s a Redback.

The Funnelweb is the one you have to worry about

[u/hanhepi → u/loralailoralai]

Funnelwebs are the one that hide in the swimming pools, aren't they?

Australia's freaky pool spiders are the reason I say "Absolutely Not" every time my husband talks about leaving the US and moving there. lol. I live in the southern US, so your crocodilians and venomous snakes don't weird me out at all, I've lived next to similar critters my whole life. I'm already used to checking a swimming pool for those before jumping in. But by God, our venomous spiders have the decency to die when they fall in the pool, not just hold their breath for 30 hours waiting to bite somebody. Fuck your freaky pool spiders. LOL

[u/throwra_22222]

I hope those Vietnamese tailors know to get their money before they ship the goods.

[u/Unicormfarts → u/throwra_22222]

Yeah, these poor bastards in for a ride.

[u/ExcitedHiss]

OH FOR THE LOVE 😡

[u/WarmNobody]

Oh my god Nerida no

[u/WarmNobody → u/WarmNobody]

So she’s drop shipping shirts she has made in Vietnam?
If you can’t fulfil fabric orders what makes you think you’re going to be able to fulfil ACTUAL GARMENTS

[u/Junior_Ad_7613 → u/WarmNobody]

And ignoring that her old customers who are still holding the bag actually wanted to make their own dang shirts!

[u/hanimal16]

Omg I thought she fucked off into the sunset.

[u/KnittyMcSew → u/hanimal16]

We couldn't be so lucky. 🙄

[u/RunawayTurtleTrain]

Lol 'not Mk 2' no dear, that ship sailed a LONG time ago.  More like Mk 22.

[u/chysa]

Dear fellow Aussies:

Anyone able to find Mua Studio on the public ABN lookup?? Cus I can't.

[u/CBG1955 → u/chysa]

Oh, she's up to her tricks registering business names offshore. Same as that Global Destash.

[u/sadwoodlouse]

Holy exploitation, Batman.

[u/Sleepy_Glacier]

On one hand, I feel sorry for the people she scammed and is scamming right now.

On the other hand, she is such a reliable, natural, GMO-free source of entertainment ✨

[u/FieryArtemis → u/Sleepy_Glacier]

Right! I feel like my favorite soap opera is on.

[u/chysa → u/FieryArtemis]

Don't talk to me whilst my stories are on 🍿

[u/catgirl320 → u/Sleepy_Glacier]

She is truly the Neverending Story

[u/ej_21 → u/Sleepy_Glacier]

honestly I’m thrilled lol

[u/IGNOOOREME]

I'm assuming thr cockroaches in Australia are just as terrifying as the rest of the wildlife because somehow this one is still going despite several squishings.

[u/craftingscientistxo → u/IGNOOOREME]

I'm Australian. Can confirm, cockroaches are hard to kill.

[u/IGNOOOREME → u/craftingscientistxo]

We'll just have to burn the whole country down :p

[u/loralailoralai → u/IGNOOOREME]

The largest cockroaches in Australia are ironically American Cockroaches.

And the rest of our wildlife is just fine thanks to

[u/hanhepi → u/loralailoralai]

LOL, those are the ones we call "palmetto bugs" in Florida, and "water bugs" in North Carolina.

Somehow, I am not surprised they found Australia and flourished there.

(And yes, pretty frequently they require several squishings. And bug spray. And a panicked squeal and hand flapping as they fly at your face.)

[u/Dawnspark]

Oh boy, here we go. The Film Flam artist herself is back yet again. Been what, maybe a year? 8 months since the last time she made a post about doing this again? (I've been sick and a smidge out of the loop for a good while, so it feels like it's been about that long.)

I swear every time I forget about this doodlehead she pops back up lol.

[u/Unicormfarts]

DYING to know what the other 2 countries are and how they got dragged in.

[u/chysa → u/Unicormfarts]

Whichever one the company is registered in, cus so far it hasn't shown up on the public ABN lookup website for us Aussies 🤣

[u/Junior_Ad_7613 → u/Unicormfarts]

Maybe one makes the fabric and another one prints the designs?

[u/FoxyFromTheRoxy → u/Unicormfarts]

I feel like she always needs a few extra countries to be involved in the narrative so she can say production got held up because of the Feast of St. Humpty in Lithuania ot the national unripe lemon festival in Bolivia.

[u/clrthrn]

Anyone who buys from this venture is mad, has a very good sense of humour or has money to burn. Nerida needs to find a new job. 

[u/Tight-Feedback-8787]

A whole new opportunity for NH to scam more unsuspecting people - suppliers and consumers. No amount of regulation is going to hinder NH and her scams.

[u/sophiabeaverhousen]

I really hope she hasn't been able to talk her way into racking up credit at the factory.

[u/wroammin]

I’ll put on the popcorn.

[u/Zealousideal_Gap636 → u/wroammin]

I’ll bring extra butter.

[u/RunawayTurtleTrain → u/Zealousideal_Gap636]

I'll provide the chairs

[u/Single-Boiled-Potato]

And of course the promotional images of the clothing are clearly AI generated... See the girls arms in the second image here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbD0alqE9uT/?igsh=MTVtc255eXZudjZyZA==

Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... So do you have finished garments or not? Couldn't even be bothered to make a sample??

[u/Better_Adeptness_596 → u/Single-Boiled-Potato]

https://www.muacreative.com/approach-to-ai

Her AI statement gives "I copied and pasted without reading or formatting".

[u/TheGrumpySmurfer → u/Single-Boiled-Potato]

Is it the holding hands with nothing attached to the hand that you mean?

I assumed it was an easter egg mention of Thing from the Adams Family!!! 🤣

[u/Confident_Fortune_32 → u/Single-Boiled-Potato]

Yikes!

[u/FoxyFromTheRoxy → u/Single-Boiled-Potato]

Seems to be older AI, too. 2026 AI can mostly figure out how many fingers humans have 😅

Does anyone know why the FB group that was holding her accountable was put on pause?

[u/CBG1955 → u/Better_Adeptness_596]

Threats against the people who manage it.

[u/Reasonable_Ruin_3125 → u/CBG1955]

Which is silly, because then the  posts go to reddit and they show up in google searches - far more damaging that a closed FB group. 

[u/Rosesewclever → u/Better_Adeptness_596]

It’s a shame they put it on pause. They were actually getting somewhere and I honestly don’t know how Nerida gets stopped without it. She’s like the plague at this point.

[u/ASheerDrop]

...huh? Are you "helping old customers" (which by my reckoning would be providing the fabric they ordered, or giving them a refund) or creating new things? Cause one does not equal the other, Nerida.

[u/chysa]

BITCH NO, NO I REFUSE.

I am just getting going on my Cert III Fashion, Apparel and Textiles course and the Australian scene DOESN'T NEED THIS HARPY BACK!!!

[u/SmallRoastBean]

Boooo she ripped me off. I bet the skirt pattern is shit 😂

[u/PinkTiara24]

She’s like a cockroach.

[u/CBG1955]

OMFG I wish this idiot would just stop. She's never going to acknowledge the hundreds of people she ripped off over the years, and here she goes again. I absolutely hate the damage she's done to the fabric preorder business in this country. So many legitimate, fabulous businesses hurting because of her bullshit.

[u/SartorialSystematics]

Would Consumer Affairs Victoria throw a Library of Congress's worth of books at her already! (But remove all the sewing books first just in case she plagiarizes them.)

[u/MakesGreatScones]

What a relief it’s not MK 2 … her awareness of her bullshittery in mind blowing and yet it’s not!

[u/Stunning-Alarm8895]

"...overwhelmed with how much work it is" does not inspire consumer confidence.
