B. Simone speaks out for the first time after she accused her of plagiarizing her self-help book. She says she’s taking full accountability and explained how it even happened in the first place.
B. Simone is speaking out for the time to address plagiarism accusations that have been circulating online.
“Wild ‘N Out” star got blasted on social media by several content creators who accused her of stealing their content for her self-help book, “Baby Girl: Manifest the Life You Want." Once one content creator noticed she stole some of her content for B. Simone's self-help book, several others spoke out and shared images of their work compared to B's book to prove she did in fact take their content and used it for profit. Then, Twitter canceled her over it.
Now, she’s telling her story of how this mess began.
The controversy sparked a lawsuit, so, B. Simone was very careful with her words due to legal reasons. She said she couldn’t spill all the tea right now, but she said she felt she had to say something to address what was going on.
Gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Especially when you outsource the very details of your business that is the basis of your business - like the content and messaging you are selling.
If she returns for another season of "Wild 'N Out", they're going to roast her endlessly.

B. Simone’s manager, Mz. Skittlez, said they hired a design company to handle the book. Rapper Meek Mill even tried to come to her defense amid the controversy.Would love for @TheBSimone to STOP taking small content creators’ hardwork and selling it as her own!!!Disgusting. This is not entrepreneurship. This is PLAGIARIZING. pic.twitter.com/CCSQ88A85e

Now, she’s telling her story of how this mess began.
The controversy sparked a lawsuit, so, B. Simone was very careful with her words due to legal reasons. She said she couldn’t spill all the tea right now, but she said she felt she had to say something to address what was going on.
”I have been vulnerable, real, transparent, honest throughout my whole career," B. Simone started off saying in an Instagram video.She said she hired a team that she felt she could trust to bring her vision to life, and basically create the book and its content, but the team allegedly did things that she did not know about.
"I had a vision to create a book for young women to change their mindset and have them manifest because that is how I feel I became successful in life," she continued. "Me and my team outsourced. We hired a team that we trusted. That we thought could bring my vision to life and they did a lot of things without my knowledge."The 33-year-old said she was unaware of any plagiarism in the book, but she’s taking full accountability. The book has been pulled and will not be sold until everything is sorted out.
"I have reached out directly to every content creator that was disadvantaged an I am doing everything I can to fix this issue and make everyone whole," she wrote in the caption of the video.She claims she didn’t know about the plagarisim in the book, she said she’s the boss, so she’s the one who has to fix it.
"Even though this was not intentional, I am still so very sorry to the content creators and I understand their frustration 100 percent,” she wrote.
