B. Simone is in hot water after multiple people have come forward and exposed her for stealing different bloggers' work and plagiarizing it in her book. The Internet personality is getting dragged left and right after it was revealed that multiple sections in her self-help book, Baby Girl: Manifest the Life You Want, were copied word-for-word from content creators without any credit or compensation. The self-proclaimed entrepreneur was first called out by Boss Girl Bloggers on Twitter for plagiarizing her own work, and she came through with the receipts.

"Would love for @TheBSimone to STOP taking small content creators’ hardwork and selling it as her own!!!" the blogger wrote, along with side-by-side photos of her own list, titled "50 Questions To Find Your Best Self," and the identical page in B. Simone's book. "Disgusting. This is not entrepreneurship. This is PLAGIARIZING." The same user followed this tweet up with some clearer photos, saying, "My content & her book she’s selling. Word for word. Gross."
Another blogger replied to the tweet with a photo from a different page in B. Simone's book, showing that it had been stolen from the Happiness Planner.
"Wow, just a look through her twitter and she has also plagerized [sic] an identical page from @happinessplannr too..." she wrote. After that, yet another Twitter user dropped some receipts of B. Simone's plagiarism, this time stealing a "Journal Prompts For Self Discovery" list from The Morning Buzz Blog.
"Went on Pinterest and found this exact page..." the user said. B. Simone's manager, Mary Seats AKA Mz. Skittlez, has responded to the controversy, although it's unclear where on Instagram her comment was made. In her response, Mz. Skittlez tried to place the blame on the company that designed the book. "Definitely a mistake you have to imagine she hired a design company," she wrote. "Check your DMs. We are in a lawsuit with the firm.”
B. Simone was already getting lit up last week after she said she could never date a man with a 9-5 job because she needed someone with a similar lifestyle to hers. She later clarified that she does not look down on people who work regular hours, but that she would prefer to date an entrepreneur like herself.
Shaq, Lil Pump, Jamie Foxx Surprise Viral 5-Year-Old Who Stole Parents’ Car
The Utah child who went viral for jacking his parents’ car to go buy a Lambo got to check out some luxury cars, hang out with Jamie Foxx, and FaceTime with Shaq and Lil Pump in L.A.
Adrian Zamarripa, the 5-year-old boy from Utah who took his parents’ SVU on a quest to cop a Lamborghini last week, just had his dream made into a reality, along with a few celebrity surprises. Adrian went viral last week after a state trooper stopped the child while he was driving 32 MPH down Interstate 15 on his way to Los Angeles to purchase the luxury car. Although Adrian didn’t make it more than 3 miles from home, the story blew up, and certain California big shots caught wind of it. RD Whittington, celebrity car broker and owner of Wires Only, decided to fly Adrian and his family out to Malibu to visit a luxury car dealership.
Little Adrian got to sit in the drivers’ seat of a ton of fancy whips, including a Ferrari and a Hummer. RD surprised Adrian’s mom with a free car for Mother’s Day, before taking Adrian for a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. The two of them rolled up to the Hollywood Hills where they stopped by Jamie Foxx‘s house, who Adrian met earlier over FaceTime. The three of them goofed around and admired Adrian’s shoes before getting Shaq on FaceTime.
During his visit to the city of angels, Adrian also got to talk with Lil Pump over FT. While he may have had the time of his life on the trip, Adrian did receive some stern warnings from RD. The car broker made him promise to “stay in school” and to wait until he gets a driver’s license before getting behind the wheel next time.
