Wayfair Denied Human Trafficking Allegations ... But I'm Still Not Sure What To Believe

A lot of conspiracy theories do not have merit behind them – Flat Earth, COVID-19 related theories, even the Chuck-E-Cheese pizza scandal that Shane Dawson publicized in 2019. However, after seeing and hearing about this theory which was first discovered on Reddit and Tik Tok – I don't know if Wayfair is telling the truth.

Redditor PrincessPeach198 made the following post on July 9th which has since gone viral and drawn the attention of more than just conspiracy theorists.

These cabinets – which have prices ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 – have names like Neriah, Yaritza, Samiyah and Alyvia, which are also coincidentally named after missing persons. Despite the alleged conspiracy, the e-commerce business quickly denied all connections to sex trafficking.

"There is, of course, no truth to these claims. The products in question are industrial grade cabinets that are accurately priced. Recognizing that the photos and descriptions provided by the supplier did not adequately explain the high price point, we have temporarily removed the products from site to rename them and to provide a more in-depth description and photos that accurately depict the product to clarify the price point."
– Wayfair spokesperson

While Reddit user, PrincessPeach198, was initially just confused and in search of answers, the answers might be grim if Wayfair is intentionally covering up these allegations. Other intrigued social media users found more overpriced items including a $9,999.00 shower curtain and a desk that is being sold for $16k. This has users questioning if there is actually something tangible or is Wayfair just selling items at unreasonable price points.

If you look further into the conspiracy you will get stuck in a black hole of intriguing plots. Some users believe that the SKU numbers are connected to sex trafficking also while others suspect that Wayfair is also connected to a trafficking chain originating in California. Without more investigating and less theorizing – Wayfair will continue to supply their customers with "just what [they] need" – and hopefully, a human trafficking ring is not included.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
