Is Angela Shelton forming her own little “Syndicate”? Angela Shelton (link) is an abuse survivor who knows the terminology that works to make you feel “special”
In a recent email sent only to a few “hand picked” individuals Shelton, and her team, including case workers, therapists/ experts will give you the opportunity of touching the hem of their skirts for a small fee of 300.00 per person.
You will get to meet other survivors and of course… get to “party” with Angela.
Most of us know Angela loves a good party, after all, she spends a good chuck of her donations in hosting dance parties.
Angela’s logic is to focus on the present and have fun… tap your troubles away!
Now, I get focusing on the present and not living in our often horrific pasts, I really do get that – and support that.
With that being said, many survivors still need to deal with their pasts- which affect their presents. And who better to turn to than to those who have (maybe) healed and are recovering from being abused- but lets NOT talk about that says Angela! – Lets have a “Super Secret” get together, lets even call it that, and lets only invite a few select people.
We will make them feel “special”… let them know up front that they have been “hand picked” and lets make sure that they keep it a secret. hmmmm, sounds familiar, and a little manipulative.
Sounds like Angela Shelton has learned quite well from her past and is repeating the cycle of abuse in her own litle way, for her own benefit.
So, if you have 300.00 plus your cost of getting to her “event” /super secret gathering, you will (once again) feel that wonderful feeling of being selected, of being one of the “special” ones in her all about me based world.
But, shhhhhhh….its a secret. And only if you are “special” and can keep a secret, will you be invited to attend.
Good job Angela Shelton… you are really helping survivors. NOT.
We STILL want to know what your foundation has done with ALL of the donations you have received from your many angels… the law (link) applies to you too, Ms. Shelton…and I doubt that they (the authorities) just laughed at your “mistake” in filing proper documents. And if by chance that WAS true…YOUR angels and donors aren’t laughing. Not at all.

"Though Karin and I were connected through a previous web marketing organization in the past, I didn't know her story or journey of sexual abuse until recently.
This is really disturbing to learn. I was all set to buy her dvd, books and merchandise for my wife who is a survivor of abuse. I fired off a note to Angela Shelton telling her how cool I thought she was, and now I find all of this stuff about scams. How disappointing. I really hated to learn that she changed her name to “Shelton”, because I am a Shelton and I don’t appreciate the name being used by a fraud.
Angela Shelton does nothing for the survivor community. Every about Angela is fake. Angela Shelton Foundation is nothing but a scam, and she is one of the worst scammers I have ever met, and I have come across many scam artists. I wouldn’t send her a dime. Ms. Shelton has yet to answer to the many people who she has scammed over years, and apologize for her actions, or lack of actions. All Angela Shelton has done is lined her own pockets with the monies that many people have raised and given to her with the intentions and hopes that they were helping the survivor community.
I have all of her “stuff” and quite frankly, it’s a waste of money anyway…there is far more and better help out there anyway. The only person Angela Shelton helps is “Angela Shelton” … I could go on forever, but I won’t…you have obviously seen, and done your homework on her and on donating to her, or purchasing anything from her.
Good for you! Many of us wish we would have done the same…too bad, because there are so many of us who looked up to her, gave our time and money to her, and we all ended up feeling used. No survivor wants to feel that feeling again- it’s especially horrible to feel used by someone like this- who’s only intention is to ‘help herself’ She has repeated the cycle of abuse, using the vulnerable, who only want help…
Sly-
That is typical Angela Shelton behavior and response.
On numerous occasions I tried to get answers from Shelton.
Angela ignored me. Not a good idea to ignore people who have questions, or ignore those who gave so freely to her and supported her.
Playing coy and not answering questions with truth, is her style.
She can call it avoiding the drama, the thing is…SHE created the drama.
Angela Shelton is digging herself in deep, and it doesn't have to be that way.
Ms. Shelton can easily make this right…and come out the glowing star that she wants and needs to be.
If only she had the balls to be honest and upfront!
Speaking of balls: The ball is in her court. What she chooses to do with it is up to her.
Let's hope the girl comes to her senses and does do the right thing.
After all, her being a survivor, she ought to know that avoiding this isn't going to make it go away.
She can not deny her wrong doing. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we don't know how to handle them… although deep down… we do.
Back when her "event" was open, I was originally set to attend. It was only after the news broke of some of her issues that I asked for a refund since she would not reveal information regarding the new version of this event. I wanted to know who was a part of her planning committee, since the former members stepped down and she played coy and wouldn't answer. So I asked for my money back. Once I stopped giving her money, she stopped responding to me. Funny how that works. I won't go into details of all her drama. But I find her new invite only event to be funny. I'm sure some of the money being spent on that event is the money we gave. When people ask me about her now, I tell them the newest version. They are appalled.
Disturbing it is. Very disturbing, – on SO MANY levels.
Thank you for your comment, quite accurate … imho
This is disturbing. I read that Mrs. Shelton was collecting donations long after her 'non-profit' had expired. Clearly that is fraudulent.
As a survivor, I am automatically suspicious of the 'cult of personality' types. Sadly, that seems to be the core of Mrs. Shelton's organization. Her message seems to be 'worship' me and stop talking abt your own abuse. Yet she prattles on about her own now ancient experience endlessly.
Lastly, like a predator she seems to prey on the emotionally vulnerable to get them to raise money to support her questionable lifestyle. I only hope ppl begin to see her true agenda: the greater glory of a huckster. smh.
