Paparazzi has announced it is terminating all Washington State Consultants as of March 31st, 2025.

The abrupt announcement, sent out via email on Friday February 28th, cites “market forces and changing business conditions”.

Given market forces and changing business conditions, we have been considering the future of our Washington State Consultant opportunity.

We have determined that the best way forward is to stop offering our Consultant opportunity in the state of Washington.

I get the feeling there’s a lot Paparazzi isn’t saying in their announcement. Namely dancing around whether the Washing State AG’s Office has been in contact.

Paparazzi terminating its MLM opportunity in Washington State because of “market forces” makes no sense. Ditto “changing business conditions”.

First off what business conditions? And then why are they changing in Washington and not elsewhere in the US?

Washington State Paparazzi Consultants can still qualify and earn commissions throughout March. These commissions will be paid out “no later than April 20, 2025”.

Further suggesting Paparazzi has reached an agreement with Washington State authorities is an announced 100% Buyback Agreement.

While you may keep your remaining inventory, for Consultants in the state of Washington, we are offering a generous inventory buyback program.

Paparazzi will purchase any of your remaining inventory purchased between January 1, 207 and February 28, 2025 for 100% of the original purchase price.

LuLaRoe settled pyramid fraud allegations with the Washington AG’s Office for $4.75 million in 2021. Whether we’ll see something similar with Paparazzi remains to be seen.
