    #colleenhoover #itendwithus #justinbaloni #booktok

    Colleen Hoover’s scam charity The bookworm Box, inc shut down in the end of 2024. Their final event held in June 2024 is now at the center of a lawsuit in Federal Court. A review of the non-profit’s 990s expose shady details about the money that was spent, organizations that were helped and their connections to Blake & Ryan Reynolds. Privately Colleen got angry with Justin Baldoni for refusing to donate the film’s proceeds to charity in her name – but tax records show she donated zero to help women. But she did throw down $5 million cash on a home in Puget Sound during the take over…

      Collen will end up behind bars for fraud/tax evasion, Justin's career is over, and Blake will get away with it because she's married to Ryan Reynolds, a boring, talentless guy who's rich and has connections.

      This is the reason I will not donate to a charity until I check their charity rating. Anything less than 89% is questionable (IMO). Over $200,000/annually on travel needs to be investigated by the IRS

      This Pandora box was opened by Blake now they can all just stew in their mess that they’ve created. Now everyone’s gonna look into their finances all of them and I’m here for it.

      Wow! What a successful entrepreneur. Love how her charity contributes to her royalties. She must have had some very good tax advisors for her to come up with that one. United Way has very high administrative costs but she makes them look well run.

      We have a saying in Spanish "Se Juntaron el Hambre con la Necesidad" Men they are cut from the same cloth couple with powerful friends like Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman Blake though she hit the Jackpot 😅😅😅 and just say to me Taylor Swift is not that smart as I thought she was

    18. @hannahtedeschi673 on

      Foundations like The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation only have to donate 10% of their revenue. 11% seems pretty hilarious that they cleared that legal hurdle 🤣 they all do it. The Clinton Family Foundation. The Jeff Bezos Foundation. The Biden Family Foundation…as long as all your money funnels through this “foundation”- you only have to donate 10% by law. And they do. It’s a loophole for rich people to avoid taxes. Yay government

    20. @vanessadelacruz03 on

      Let’s not forget that she was pissed (furious) that Justin was unable to donate a portion of the film’s proceeds on behalf of her. Legally he couldn’t do that. This was surely to camouflage the shady sh*t she was doing. Her and Blake really thought they could use this man as their scapegoat smh. So glad he has a strong support system and is fighting. We are with you Justin!!!

    25. @dhines3804 on

      Wow – $5 million on a home! She grew rich fast! Sounds shady to me! It makes me sad how Colleen talks badly about Justin because of Blake's tactics!

    26. @missbooboo4963 on

      They are all a bunch of Scumbags. Colleen the Cut Throat Queen, Creepbella Isabella, Blake the Lying Snake, & Brandon the Double Dealer Deceiver. WE WILL NEVER FORGET

      EVERY charity is a tax write-off. Every. Single. One.
      200.000 sounds like the right amount it would cost BL and her entourage to get to and from Dallas on a private plane (in her contract with Wayfarer somewhere it says the number for that). Just sayin.

    30. @lindaasleson2201 on

      I hope she has to pay it all back. Gosh, i’m so careful with my taxes. It’s shocking how others just blatantly scam away what they owe the Gov’t in federal and state tax bills.

    34. @kellytaylor5289 on

      Maybe she was ill advised.
      She seems easily manipulated.
      As we are learning … Blake and Ryan are masterful manipulators and liars.
      Just saying …. maybe she's maniacal but I don't think so.
      I think she should come out and apologize if indeed, she's just ignorant and followed bad advice. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    35. @privatepo5876 on

      According to watchdog groups like Charity Navigator and CharityWatch, 70% would need to be going to charity. Currently Travis Kelce is being investigated for donating only 41% and having payments to his business firms. If Colleen only has 6% that means this charity is grossly mismanaging funds and/or committing fraud. This may be why she is closing down

      As a dude, I wonder how women victims of DV or SA can support this and find them excuses, unless from denial or cynical profit from it… But if it's from a place of sisterhood, I think they are loosing track of the meaning of this word…

      Such a great human – NOT! How the hell does she sleep at night? This is so un-fn-believable, the deceit, dishonesty and disregard is astounding.

      So, we are led to believe her books aren’t loosely based on her life and the people in it. Could be an interesting read to see how she navigates a story of how to get away with charity fraud, written when you’re locked up and scrubbing bathrooms and washing dishes, while you’re trying hard to make new friends and not to piss off other inmates. Hmmm, what would she call it… “Orange Is My New Black”?! 🤣
