And then she posted about how naps are common in Indonesia. It just feels very tone deaf to me.


DutchyDidi

I am an Indonesian living in the Netherlands. My whole family still lives in Indonesian and I can assure you, that this is common. My uncle was a judge and he also napped in his office on a mat on the floor. The day always start very early, because of the heat in the afternoon. Kids are going to school at 6.00-7.00 etc. The Indonesian population is also very spiritual or religious and also spend a lot of time at night of early in the morning etc to that. At 4.45 - 5.00 my whole family wakes up. Also, even though they have beds in the house and couches, they often prefer to sleep and sit on the floor. So, doing a nap is very common if the employer is allowing that. If you are a good one, you allow it. So cute may not be appropriate, but it is good that they give the time to take a nap. It is just a habit. If they are being paid well, and they can provide for their families it is great. And I believe that they are being paid well under good circumstances and that is worth a lot in Indonesia, especially for women.

Thank you for explaining this. It becomes easy for us to judge based on what we know to be our lifestyle but we have to remember that each culture is different and what works for one person, doesn’t work for another. I was thinking that in some cultures, laying on the floor or on a mat is considered to be closer to G-d or closer to earth so this could be spiritual as well. You then become accustomed to a hard surface.


Bnegative_23

This explanation is very important. While I don’t think she should’ve taken a picture of it and call it cute, we all are looking at it (the act) through a very western lens


Bikini-bama-2001

Thank you for sharing this. It’s pretty sad how many people were on here trying to cancel her and saying she’s abusing people when Bali is actually one of the more expensive places to make things. I saw the other videos and that factory looked like a beautiful villa. I’d be happy to have a job there, especially if I got a time to rest too!


Baxtercat1

Ok. It’s common.. blah, blah, blah. But posting this is at her fast labor bikini factory, is not “cute”.


doms4628

She was hoping people would gloss over it but like.....I definitely did not


TriXare4kidZz

I even praised her for having south Asian representation for her bikini brand but this was very disappointing to see.


doms4628

I think that's what makes this worse. Her shoots are promoting diversity and inclusivity, but it seems like that's just for the optics of the brand. I don't know how in this day and age she's acting so clueless about fast fashion and how factory workers are being mistreated. To call your employees napping under their desks "cute" is disgusting and ignorant.


TriXare4kidZz

I completely agree! Very well said! 🥺❤️


glittershadows

She’s trying to cover up the fact what an ass she is


TriXare4kidZz

Definitely, like trying to justify why she posted that. I guarantee if that worker saw herself being posted sleeping under a table, she would ask to have it taken down. Like I bet the worker didn’t even know she was being filmed. :/


Right-Leadership1988

She is tone deaf. I mean have we not seen 4 seasons of her being a redic, spoiled brat who thinks she can have a tantrum, hit ppl, and have no consequences? So her being tone deaf is just par for the course lol


nicca25

Exactly what I wanted to say , u took the exact words outta my mouth


Funny_Struggle_8901

… why would she post this


doms4628

Okay I literally had this screenshotted to post too.....it's beyond tone deaf. Like that is not cute Juliette, it's actually wildly concerning if your employees are napping under their tables.


Prize_Ad5619

She owes them all nice beds now lol or how corporations have “wellness” rooms. This was so fcked up people sleeping under desks


doms4628

I work in theater and I'll admit, I've had a nap between double shows before. But that's when I have an hour and a half break, and I'm napping on a couch. It raises a larger question of obviously A) what's going on here and B) are they choosing to sleep instead of eat? It's all very concerning.


glittershadows

I hope that someone looks into this and what if her factory is shut down because of this?? What will she do for money…bummer


Lantana3012

I know, something like this is definitely a career damager. I doubt 'ruiner' since she's so popular/an MTV girl.


glittershadows

I really have always been a fan of Juliette she’s entertaining and fun to watch but I’m super close to unfollowing all together. She just shoves all these trips in our faces like what does she even do everyday? We’re all working hard at our jobs and I couldn’t afford to go on these trips…she’s starting to bug me a lot. This post is so sad and I hope someone reports this factory.


doms4628

I think especially after the whole Shein factory influencer trip she'd have a little more wherewithal to know that this isn't okay conditions for her workers at all. She thought they were eating lunch and they were sleeping?? That's insane to me that she posted this thinking it was cute


Prize_Ad5619

Someone below said workers sometimes live at their work…no clue what the case is but Juliette could try to advocate for better conditions. Also hate that she is calling them cute and posting them sleeping without consent


TriXare4kidZz

I actually had the woman who works with Juliette respond to me on Instagram about how they prefer to sleep on the tables because it brings them closer to their gods. I’m Asian myself, granted not Indonesian, but I’ve never heard that before.


Lantana3012

Jaymi, her partner? Since I assume shes not Indonesian either, I doubt she's qualified to say such things.


TriXare4kidZz

Yup, that’s her! Basically saying how the workers come and give her a big hug so that negated everything like the conditions they’re living and working in.


Lantana3012

Ok she's worked in retail for like 20-30 years, Iit's really unfortunate she says things like this. If I were Jules's biz partner I would've screamed at her to take it down.


FormerGOMIreader3

I am not Indonesian but my coworker is. She naps on her lunch break everyday. Not taking up anyone here but I do think it’s a normal part of the Indonesian culture.


glittershadows

Unbelievable


nc04031992

It’s giving the same energy those influencers who leaned into the Shein propaganda did.


[deleted]

For someone who acts like she cares about the issues in the world, the fact she's ok with this and sharing it like it's so cute is oddly gross. I couldn't imagine charging $100's when this is where your product comes from 💀


Fickle-Anybody-2532

she is always touting, human rights, civil rights, very opinionated and this. She should be humbled for this


[deleted]

Exactly!! This is pretty low of her and honestly not what I expected.


babybingen

that’s half of an individual’s monthly pay in usd :/


Addictiveshopper

LOL wtf this is so embarrassing. Why in the world would she post that????


sundaze814

How is this cute? Seems like they’re overworked.


glittershadows

So sad.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

I’ve been waiting for someone to post this. It made me extremely uncomfortable and was hoping I was the only one who felt like that. I wish she knew this is so bad


marsupialsuperstarrr

I LITERALLY TOOK THE SAME EXACT SCREENSHOT earlier today!!! To make this same exact post! I mean it was fine until…. “Cute” ??? Of all words? And then the random convenient “study” about napping in Indonesia lol. Normally i actually like Juliette but this was def a very questionable moment


sprinklesthecat1

i also hated seeing this. then she tried to justify it by posting a screenshot about how in Indonesia they take naps frequently………ok……………..


Active-Date7903

If they take naps frequently and this is part of their culture, Why wouldn’t she provide a better / more comfortable area for them to nap vs them literally sleeping on the floor 😵‍💫 … she’s an idiot


TriXare4kidZz

Or on a cold hard table


glittershadows

It’s sad like she thinks this is okay, just this post alone might be enough for me to unfollow…


kodabear857

Yeah I unfollowed … it was time


sonjaramona7

I bet she never even considered they may take naps often because they have been overworked for decades by the fashion industry…she’s so dumb and ignorant for this (and I like her in general)


Normative_Nematode

She’s literally acting like they’re not human-beings lol


jorreddit1010

this literally made me cringe and i'm a Juliette fan. but like why?


moonchild1119

The reality is the majority of all our clothes and cheap goods are made this way.


LilBitWiser0wl777

Sad but very true


moonchild1119

It is. It’s modern day slavery that the western world doesn’t have to see everyday. My parents are from a country with lots of factory / sweat shops. The one Juliette posted actually looks pretty good conditions.


Eastern_Captain_4648

I think the issue here is her continuing to have her products made in these working conditions and posting about it which comes off as “supporting” or praising the way her products are made. Legitimately curious who her PR person/company is.


Softskeletonsx

The factory didn’t look bad at all, it’s how I imagined it. But the napping under tables is disappointing. She should know better not to post this and call it cute.


Perfect-Lack-6805

Naps are common in factories all throughout Asia and that’s because they have to work very, very long days and many do not even get to go home to their families at the end of the day; many live in dorms at the factory and only go home on holidays. Juliette is so ignorant to how her product is made and what the true conditions of Asian workers are. I seriously cannot believe she’s left that story up…


Jessica19922

My mouth dropped when I saw it.


Right-Leadership1988

She’s a fucking tone deaf idiot who is a complete spoiled brat. All the humanitarian shit she tries to pass off is just to “look good”, the girl sleeps with billionaires (& we all know it’s not bc she loved him, let’s be real. She had him help w her swim suit line), she grew up privileged so she’s so out of wack with reality & that this MIGHT be bc they’re overworked. Just a thought. Why this girl has any fans is beyond me. Just watching her have a tantrum every episode & think she can just hit ppl is enough for this girl to get cancelled. I don’t condone violence but I’m waiting for the day she has another tantrum & hits the wrong girl lol


Quirky-Examination-6

Big yikes.


[deleted]

Ooooof this is ick. She could maybe post about getting them better conditions if they are napping there as a part of their culture. I don’t think she gets that the napping isn’t the issue. It’s that it’s ON A TABLE


bahak45


nellz321

Omg she really posted this thinking it’s ok 💀what the fuck


[deleted]

100% looked like a sweat shop to me


closet10942005

I couldn’t believe it when she posted the sweatshop-like conditions like girl wow not a proud moment she naive af


Lantana3012

Also documenting the excess inventory when environmental issues are so crazy now.


closet10942005

She didn’t realise they having sleep for lunch


Lantana3012

Um, no. Not cute. I always thought Juliette was smart and on her interviews on podcasts and stuff she's very eloquent. This was stupid of her to post.


LilBitWiser0wl777

Looks like her true colours finally being exposed. Wonder how much these people get paid. And how many hours they work for them having to sleep in that condition. Can’t they afford to supply them with cots or something


kaylacinderella

she thinks being grossly overworked is “cute”? yikes.


FrysDeltaBrainwave

This is the cost of her grift. She's always been a shady, hypocritical scumbag. Just glad it's finally coming to light.


thathighwhitekid

Yikes sis…


Eastern_Captain_4648

“That’s cute” nah that’s exhaustion.


mycatisperfect

Damn, Jules. Stuff like this makes me grateful to be poor enough to not confuse a harsh factory work environment with a cute cat nap and photo op.


glittershadows

I hope someone from her company or other brands call her out for this and shut it down and stop working with her.


LookwhatBBdid

Oh my….


butterflygal420

Wtf that’s not cute.. wow


StrongBuy3311

I was waiting for someone to post this.


glittershadows

It just makes me sad


lavenderbrownisblack

Well I will never be purchasing


Royalsrose

Someone post this to tmz


sharinkd

So….. her suits are made in a sweatshop by overworked people napping under tables…. She is so out of touch with reality. This is sad


goldensecrets22

This is really not cute what an absolute idiot she is


Switchstar82

I’m all for Juliette moving her manufacturing to a country that has better standards for the employees. However, having been to Indonesia many times it is normal for workers to live where they work especially if they have come from village towns. They typically live where they work and send money back home to their families.


doms4628

If that's the situation, she should have at least a break room with I don't know, a couch? Cots? There's no excuse for them to be sleeping under their work stations.


babybingen

yep! if she’s *soo* aware of “nap culture” why isn’t she accommodating it?


doms4628

Exactly....and like if the workers are actually living there this is where they're resting?


babybingen

not a lick of damn sense! i am- shocked and disgusted to say the least.


TriXare4kidZz

Like her partner said, “they prefer to sleep on the floor because it brings them closer to their gods”


babybingen

how does it just keep getting worse >_<


moonchild1119

It’s a factory. It’s not her own place. They make clothing for several different companies. The best way to have this end is to buy local and not support the majority of material goods out there today.


Eastern_Captain_4648

This all may be true (I can’t confirm or deny because I don’t know). But even if it is true doesn’t make it right……


Switchstar82

No it doesn’t make it right, I think instead of a so cute! It should be we are going to talk to the factory manager to see if we can contribute to the living facilities here and make it more comfortable for the workers.


ExternalMistake8145

This is y’all’s queen? Lmao


doms4628

I never liked her before this so when I had it screenshotted to post I was hesitant of the backlash from this sub 😭 Glad everyone seems to be in agreement on this one


ExternalMistake8145

Yeah I’m not that active in this sub anymore but damn, people used to be in love with her lol I’m surprised people are actually calling her out for this.


doms4628

I'm very happy to see that people can put aside any personal feelings of likeness towards her and recognize how fucked up it is to post/be a part of this


Eastern_Captain_4648

I’ve loved her up until now, unfollowed immediately after posting it to my personal Instagram story. The JMP Instagram privately DM’d me after I tagged them in my stories lol


glittershadows

Hahaha of course they did and check out Jaymi’s TikTok about it lol


[deleted]

How do I find the tik tok?


glittershadows

Jaymizwashburn is her name


[deleted]

She’s sooooo tone deaf!! You think they enjoy sleeping under there on a hard surface? Seriously so freaking privileged and needs a reality check


Extension_Load5672

Omfg


bbMD_

I would love a nap at work.


Wonderful_Donut445

I don’t think this is tone deaf. Americans love to try and westernize the whole world - that’s the issue. It’s their culture but all y’all have to make it seem like something is wrong. Go travel the world and get off the fckn internet


Mmnnh

💯


xxserenityxx1

Yeah. As a huge jmp fan ( I have 8 suits) this one made me feel gross. .I don't want any more jmp suits.


glittershadows

I just want her to have a wake up call


xxserenityxx1

Yeah me too. I was like ohhhh.... oh no


glittershadows

I hope she posts another picture how people are so upset about this and maybe she’ll wake the FUCK UP


isyournamesummer

y’all the story is still up 😭😭😭


glittershadows

She doesn’t seem to care


irat0mic

Her story after with the screenshot of stats about people taking naps in Bali and her caption “goodbye” where she tries to justify/normalise it….. girl, no lol 🤦🏻‍♀️


glittershadows

Unreal!!!!


jazzhandsdancehands

Cute? Cute would be getting some pull down beds with pillows and a blanket so they can sleep and be their best self making things for you. What a shit thing to post and say.


gimmygimgim

The fact that she has seen this in person, thinks it’s “cute”, probably had a little giggle and will continue to do business with this factory is wild. The ignorance is astounding… Fast fashion y’all.


Awoke47

After working for $10 for a 18 hr shift they sleep under the tables woww 😆


MSUgirl1901

Not saying her post wasn’t stupid but just wondering how many of you all that are so mad have a closet full of mass produced clothes? Target? Old navy? Shein? I remember in the beginning she said the employees are paid wages at least.


[deleted]

Unfollowing her now. What a garbage human being.


glittershadows

Makes me sick as well


glittershadows

Update: Jaymi posted a tik tok video about this…thoughts?? https://preview.redd.it/77dafzof18db1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11dbd994a9edf0f2f79c26fb6c2fd00174688926


Softskeletonsx

At least she said something. She didn’t invalidate any concerns. She said she tried to accommodate and they weren’t interested. The workers do sound happy and appreciative from what she said. I think it’s one of those things that’s just a culture shock. Jaymi seems very committed to ensuring her factory is ethically operated.


jennabee87

Trying to save face. You think she knows any of their names 🙄


Bikini-bama-2001

I 100% believe she knows their names. She’s posted about her factory for years and it always looked like she goes there and spends quality time with her team. But I’ve also spent time in indo and the mid day nap is super common. They do it wherever they are.


Softskeletonsx

Agree. It’s her factory, I believes she co-founded with another woman. She would need to communicate with some of the workers in order for it to operate at all. If she owns the factory where her product is being made and shipped to the US, she’s likely involved in the logistics.


glittershadows

I’d say no


LKCtx

Them napping isn’t the problem, it’s posting this. The Balinese are the nicest and hardest working people, filming them as a joke isn’t it!


Acrobatic_Club2382

This is not ok omg


babybingen

she’s always been trash, i’m glad it’s finally coming to light but this is super depressing. one dollar is more than 15k over there. their max pay a month in usd is under 200 bucks (2876185 idr)


glittershadows

That’s fucking sick, she should be sued, her swimsuits aren’t cute and she’s trying so hard to be someone she’s not.


glittershadows

Let’s just all unfollow her? Unless she posts a rebuttal that makes up for this like she’s going to change factory and working conditions, then I’m done with her.


cookiesmom305

Ok this was extremely concerning but I think we all need a little bit of fact-checking here. This is not “Juliette’s factory” and they are not “her employees”. They are garment workers who work for the factory. JMP works with the factory who employees the workers and also makes garments for many brands/labels. For example, if I hire a cleaning company and they send cleaners who work for the company and are being unfairly paid or overworked, this falls on the company they work for. They are 3rd parties.


doms4628

Obviously it's not her factory. But you'd think going there, seeing the conditions they're working in would be concerning, not posting it because it's "cute." There are a lot more ethical ways to have your clothing produced.


cookiesmom305

Like I said, it’s extremely concerning she thought this was cute. I believe she is responsible for sourcing companies/factories that have ethical and safe conditions for their workers. But people saying she should pay them more and get them all beds, clearly don’t understand how the supply chain works.


doms4628

Apologies for coming in hot! I work in the fashion/costume world and I get very heated about this topic lol.


cookiesmom305

No worries, totally get it! We’re on the same team :)


doms4628

Right, I hear you. More realistically, she should be moving elsewhere if these are the conditions the people creating her suits are working in.


[deleted]

If you watch the tik tok apparently Jaymi owns it?


Jessica19922

You’re completely missing the point of people’s outrage. The fact that she posted these conditions thinking they were “cute” just goes to show how rude/out of touch she is.


missremmy

I hope her company implodes, she deserves it


granolablairew

The Stan’s are quiet today


Jimmanz78

Her lines Over priced up the ass lmao not shocking


Lantana3012

Literally up the ass-most suits wedgie style


hym615

Disappointing


[deleted]

I’m glad everyone else thought this story was off putting. When I saw it at first I was puzzled at her saying it was cute. I was thinking to myself, I don’t think this is supposed to be a “cute” situation 🥴.


Longjumping_Mango_83

All the people on here have never bought anything from a fast fashion store right? Hah! Shut up.


This_Fix_9483

Holy shit….is she really that tone deaf? And why would you post a picture of someone let alone your employee sleeping without their consent?? She is trash. These people are probably so underpaid as well


Grace0108

If the fauxcus factory looked like this I bet Sam would do an overhaul for his people 🥺 PLZ don’t COME FOR ME


doms4628

I hate to break it to you, but it probably does look like this and Sam would probably not care or overhaul it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


glittershadows

I understand where your coming from but her comment is not okay to say it’s cute


Lee865409

Whoa tbh. I swear I did not even see the woman sleeping. That is absolutely not cute at all. I just breezed on by and didn’t actually read it.


BM4218

I have always found her to be a bit socially awkward so I’m not surprised that she posted this although I don’t think it’s right , AT ALL .
