People Magazine Shopping article by Andrea Marie

An article posted today by Andrea Marie called ‘This Best-Selling Topical Treatment Will Keep Your Dog Free of Fleas All Summer (and It's on Sale)' about PetArmor dog flea/tick collars on Chewy.com is incredibly inappropriate and not well researched.
I am a veterinarian and have witnessed a large number of pets that react negatively to counterfeit medication products that are sold through sites like this - there just isn't enough regulation to monitor and counterfeits look almost identical to the real products.

Pet owners really need to obtain these medications from the veterinarian directly to guarantee the product, my practice and many others offer price matching to ensure pets are safe and guaranteed the correct product. Please be careful with this.

Desired outcome: Removal of the article

People Magazine Magazine

I am getting harassed by People Magazine with their junky magazine. Every week, they harass me with it when I never consented to it. All of it must stop immediately. I never signed up for their nonsense. Their magazine is full of junk and never interested me. Everyone on it is a fallen angel or a rephaim. I want nothing to do with this evil, and I don't want it sent to me ever again. Period.

Desired outcome: I want all magazines to cease and desist immediately to Elizabeth Mattke.

People Magazine Article

I feel that any and all articles relating to Chrissy Tiegan and Meghan Markle should not be put in your magazine or out online. Chrissy, who has made extremely inappropriate comments about young children and little girls in a very sexual way, along with Meghan markle who continues to use defamatory tactics to stay in the spotlight, are not women I want my children to model themselves after. What are we teaching our young girls? What are we teaching our young boys? I was almost sick to my stomach this morning apon reading the article Chrissy wrote about Meghan, and it was less about the content of the article and more about the fact that we have a woman who has made sexual predatory comments about children and another who just went on live TV and mocked the royal family (to which the US has ties) and these two women are the ones we are promoting? I would love to see new articles with women who I am okay with my children reading about. Thank you for your time

Desired outcome: New articles

As a person with mental issues let me make some points. My husband died when my daughters were 2 and 5. They are very well adjusted children as their friends, , spouse and their own children can testify. I am so proud of all their achievements.
Please do a story on the children who grew ip without one or in some cases both parents after 9/11. These are victims who are suffering through no fault of their. They were not born to rich parents, or famous people. They were ordinary children expecting their parents to return home. They were not like Chrissy Teigen or Meghan Markle or Prince Harry or Gayle King or Oprah Winfrey whose only claim to fame is nothing. They have not cured a disease or brought peace to the world or helped find a vaccine for COVID19. They help to sell your magazine. Prince Harry’s mother was no saint. She had numerous liaisons after her divorce neglecting her children for weeks. Instead she could have taken her children and herself for deep counseling and to help Harry specially to get his temper as being the “spare” under control. And when you are. b star and then again a B Royal what a great way to play martyr and get into the spotlight. Both of them could have paid for private help for their mental health at Frogmore. Meghan could have availed herself of mental health services while living in Canada.
Let me see your magazine say enough and devote itself to famous people who are achieving something in this world. Otherwise your magazine is as trashy as the ones that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sued.

People Magazine Some Videos Need a Warning Disclaimer

April 9/21 - I am watching a video about a teacher and his students making the most of things during the pandemic. Wonderful. Then, the video immediately and without warning goes to a pathetic, poor dog dragging his skeletal self down a beach. I had a hard time with that and it was very upsetting. Why on earth would People magazine staff think that was appropriate. Stop it with the tormented animals. Quit filming them and help them!

Desired outcome: No more videos of suffering animals.

People Magazine People Magazines content

I no longer buy PEOPLE Mag because I can't stand your content about Hollywood's actors and actresses. I can't stand any of them! They are nothing but Socialists as is your magazine. You all need to be deported to Russia and China. People died for our freedom and Socialists want to take that away.

People Magazine Content

As a subscriber i'm here to say that i'm very disappointed in the February 15th. cover photo. For four years you never had the former President and First Lady on the cover. Now a month after the Biden take over you issue a cover of them. No matter what your political belief you have insulted a former President. This is beyond belief. I'm sure i'm not the only person who is appalled by this, but i am an outspoken person who will speak up when something isn't right. This isn't right. I "did" enjoy your magazine up until today when i received this copy and saw this. As soon as my subscription is up that will be the last time i read your magazine.

People Magazine Headline today about Capitol riot

I am appalled by your headline today about trump inciting riots. First when did people magazine become political. Readers including myself would look to people as an escape from politics but u have taken that away. Also did u report Pelosi and Harris incited riots last summer when they said people will do what they are going to do. No u did not. If people is going to delve into the political realm u owe it to your readers to do so responsibly and u failed miserably. Therefore I will no longer be purchasing and reading your magazine and website.

Desired outcome: Response with explanation

People Magazine Men of the year 2020 article

You forgot someone in your men of the year 2020 article. I noticed Justin Bieber was listed but I think you forgot Sam Heughan. As an outlander fan that actor has gotten me through a lot of bad days during the pandemic. He's a great actor in a great series. I can't believe he didn't make the list. And the eyes have it? You need to check out Sam Heughan's eyes.

The article on George Clooney is nothing but hypocritical garbage. He is suddenly a model father in his Kate 59’s after bedding every woman worldwide. He depicts his wife nothing less than perfect. How could she afford designer garb by suing Isis is? who sues Usus ? I don’t think he’s ever mopped the floor or cut anyone’s hair yet he comments on it on people magazine it’s difficult for me to digest I understand that he and his wife have donated a lot of money to charitable causes but, when you make that kind of funny basically it’s just a write off ...His activism is great, but he can prescribe to it while luving in luxury. Last count ge iemwns 4 houses, what a laugh... this man is nothing but a moderately talented individual who made it due to nepotism?

People Magazine Robert De Niro article....making it about Floyd

People interviewed Robert DeNiro about his biracial family. That's great! However, WHY are the last two paragraphs about George Floyd, which has NOTHING to do with the Robert DeNiro interview? DON'T be biased... extremely unfair and taking advantage of your outlet. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Why in the world would you insert information that was not related to the article, but your obvious own personal opinion?

People Magazine Sanctification of George Floyd

People Magazine (15 June 20) portrays George Floyd as an innocent victim of police brutality. His long criminal record, significant prison time, and long list of violent crimes including home invasion of a pregnant woman and holding a gun to her stomach while his henchmen ransacked her house, say otherwise. He was not a "gentle giant". People's reportage omitted key information of his arrest. He was passing counterfeit money. He was high on drugs, fentanyl and amphetamines, and behaving erratically. Any one of these factors would be probable cause for arrest. It's obvious he resisted arrest. Is this the behavior of a person trying for a fresh start in life? Perhaps, if these facts had been reported, people would have realized George Floyd was no saint and that he was not worthy of the violent protests that followed.

People Magazine Issue dated may 11, 2020 (received friday may 1, 2020)

I have never had an issue with so many pages affected by background color (I think) that extended over the whole page, so dark the pages couldn't be read. Pages in this issue affected were: 38, 40 (too dark to read), 42, 44, 45 (top article gets by but the lower article is totally blurry blue, 47 (too dark to read), 49 (too dark to read), and 51.

I always look forward to receiving this magazine and it was such a let down. I would like another copy of this issue, please!

My email is: [protected]@gmail.com

My label: #346700 ; #PPL1885984029/0#

People Magazine Celebrities helping with covid

I am an avid reader, for years and years, and just finished the article about celebrities and how they are helping with covid with concerts, social media, etc. Dave matthews was the first artist to sing in his home for pay it forward live and was not mentioned at all. Huge oversight that should be corrected. Since dave has played in his living room, many other artists have followed in his footsteps and he should be mentioned if not honored.

People Magazine Too many fake stories about Meghan Markle

I am ready to cancel my subscription due to the millions of fluff pieces you have been including on Meghan Markle. You are not allowing people to do their own research. Some of her followers are criminal, stealing identities and really hurting people. They are following people and make threats. Please stop. You have been including positive stories about Meghan by distorting the facts. Do you really believe that Meghan needs people to care about her when she cares about no one else. That Africa video was disgusting and you felt bad for Meghan. There are so many other people in the world doing wonderful things who don't ask for people to feel sorry for them. Meghan is a poor actress at best and is using her title to try to get jobs. I'm hoping that Disney is done with her and that she has made an enemy with Meryl Streep as Meryl was the original narrator. But you won't include that info as you probably have an exclusive with the just plain couple. I thought that you, as a Magazine, were above this. At least the dirt magazines are there to find the ugly stories that you WON'T write. At least for now my 80 year old alzheimer patient mother can read your magazine because it doesn't matter to her.

People Magazine Rude interruptive customer service rep!! Couldn't understand them!

Since I moved I haven't received People Magazine in over a week and I been at this address for a 3 months! I called them and the rep I couldn't understand as usual and was interrupting me in the middle of me explaining my issue plus rushing me off the phone and then when I told her what magazine I last got she told me the next one that I missed and I couldn't understand her! I ask again and she disregarded my request and tried to rush me by asking me a totally unrelated question and told me my replacement magazine would take 3 weeks to get to me! Then rushed me further and I had to try to talk over her and ask her again to clarify that I wanted to know what issue was missed because I believe she got the issue I missed wrong and I corrected her she then proceeded to babble on and couldn't understand her, I should've requested as I have a right to speak to someone I could understand (english speaking) rep but she made me upset and impossible to request considering her demeanor, when I was finally clarified of what issue I missed I told her I want a credit then told me it will be extended from Nov. 2021 to Dec. 2021 she had the balls to ask me if I wanted a promotional Subscription to Magnolia Magazine! I told her no! I'm barely getting what I want now but she disregarded me and rushed me off as saying something as I was so disturbed to remember what that was but it was in no way proper to conclude the call!

People Magazine Spending of public money. On the sussex, s

Spreading rumors about the Royal family of being. Racists, Sexists, Toxic and bullies and making comments about a nation.

There is no evidence to back the stories up as far as I can see. This is abusive behavior for a magazine to discredit a family. Forget that they are the Royal family at the moment would you do it to your family.

You need evidence to backstories like this up.

People Magazine Accuracy of your news articles

Your January 6th publication incorrectly stated that "President Trump is the 3rd President to be impeached".
Fact: The House of Representatives only has the power to RECOMMEND impeachment - which they did. It is now up to the senate whether or not he is ACTUALLY impeached.'
I'm surprised you made such an ignorant, reckless statement. Disappointing that you have become "fake news"!

You have a fundamental misunderstanding what "impeachment" means. Impeachment is the act of bringing charges against the President. To be removed from office requires a super-majority vote of the Senate. This was the "trial" that came after the President's impeachment. He will always and forever remain an impeached President.

People Magazine Magazine

Bought a People Magazine at my local grocery store. The November 18, 2019 issue with Chip and Joanna Gaines on the cover. It was The Kindness Issue. It wasn't very kind to discover that pages 3, 4 and 5 were not attached to the spine of the magazine. It pulled away with the turning of the page. Well it's not just that but I read it cover to cover to find that at the end some of the pages were missing specifically 87, 88, 89 and 90 which included the crossword Puzzler. I was disappointed to say the least. This magazine cost me $5.99, which is expensive and I don't buy them very often. Just thought I would be kind and let you know that this is unacceptable and that it will be a long time before I purchase another copy. Thank you for the ability to vent my frustration. Very kindly yours. Carol Schwahl
