We’ve covered this before, but it’s worth mentioning how some unscrupulous companies use photos of celebrities to “endorse” their CBD products. What’s the issue? In many cases, these celebrities haven’t consented to these companies to use their images. What does this mean for you? Since these businesses use underhanded tactics to sell their products, that says much about their trustworthiness. The bottom line is don’t trust CBD companies with questionable practices.
Big-Name Celebrities Involved
Using a celebrity’s likeness without their permission is nothing new, but some CBD companies take it to a new level. Numerous celebrities have become embroiled in this shady marketing ploy without even knowing it. One of these is country music star and TV judge Blake Shelton. One company went so far as to use his photo and ran a false ad about him regarding “allegations” against him being “confirmed.”
After a person clicked on the ad, they saw a layout of an article that mimicked a reputable media company to add further credibility. Of course, curious eyes would click on the ad to learn more about this juicy gossip. The problem was that Blake had never endorsed the gummies the company was trying to sell, and there were no “allegations.”
Actress and Jeopardy host Mayim Bialik is another famous face who allegedly endorsed a company’s CBD products. Similar to the Blake Shelton situation, Mayim appeared in an article that “confirmed” allegations against her. The clickbait ad led readers to see she was endorsing some CBD gummies.
What was the issue? Once again, there were no allegations, and she wasn’t endorsing any CBD products. Additionally, the ad made outrageous claims about what CBD could do, which no reputable CBD vendor would ever claim.
