Karma is a bitch and so is Aunesty. I support Kim 100%.
Karma can’t come too quickly enough. I don’t believe people are doing this and getting away with it. They say to beware of your friends but really, how can anyone imagine that a best friend will turn out to be the worst enemy? Good expose Shoe.
Looks like they have a lot of issues they need to address soon otherwise it just may blow up on their collective faces.
I don’t understand where that woman is coming from. I’m glad I don’t have a friend like her.
Wow! Affiliate marketing drama. I never knew it could get this bad.
These folks contacted me via Twitter. I’ve known Kim and have followed her work for a very long time. I adore her! When I saw what was being done, I was sick to my stomach. What horrible people! Karma is a beeyotch and this time Karma has at least one real name – Jeremy Shoemoney.
Jeremy what you are doing here – outing the horrible people behind such heinous acts is priceless. You’re my hero – at least for today *wink* xoxo
What these people should wake up and realize is GOOD and influential people stand and align around Kim – bad people and bad acts get nowhere but mocked and shunned as they should be.
What a wonderful way to start my day!
Wow! How low can those people get? They seem relentless in their efforts to ruin her. How sad.
Well, you’ll never really know what people are capable of. Especially those with an axe to grind.
Ya I was witness to the Aunesty drama at Affiliate Summit and ABestWeb. She suckered me into a couple of calls saying that everyone was against her. When it became evident that she was a drama queen I disassociated with her. Was glad to here that she moved to Omaha but shocked to hear she was working for Yahoo. Didn’t know about the pain she brought to Kim (who is on my A List) but the timing makes sense. If someone has connections at Yahoo they should forward this post.
Man I love it when Shoe brings the hammer down. He has this lawyer-like approach of blasting the accused with facts until there is nothing left to do but surrender.
It’s high time someone exposes what those two are up to. I sure they get to read this and stop their malicious campaigns against Kim, who’s actually the victim from the very beginning.
hey Jeremy good on you fella for outing a couple of bastards like these two. this is the sort of stuff we do not need on the net. I do have to agree with you though….. I too do not understand women !! keep up the good work
Mark
Scumbags through and through. So sad. Karma will fix it…hopefully soon!
Looks like it’s already started. Anyone who read this post would now have two names to add in the losers list.
Must be why they purged their “friends” list on Facebook. Thanks for exposing the truth Jeremy.
That’s fucked up. Is this the dude? http://twitter.com/#!/seepat
Interesting piece Shoe… There are bad people everywhere; we can only learn(only if we want to) from other people’s mistakes. This is a true life story worth learning from and I wish Kim all the best. Between, your post has little to no errors this time… who is spell checking this time? lol
be warn, there would be wolf in this world and they will feel happy when they see you down and they feel down when they see you happy.
What a terrible thing that happened to Kim. Props for outing these dirtbags.
Best post on shoemoney.com ever
It’s terrible that adults still act like this, it sounds like something highschoolers would do IMO. I’m glad A & P ‘s stolen sites failed.
I concur, it’s very sad that there are adults who can’t focus on their own lives instead of some easily discoverable attack on others.
ha ha, always drama at the shoemoney blog.
I concur with Ron, it’s very sad that there are adults who can’t focus on their own lives instead of some easily discoverable attack on others.
I think this is my favorite thing about you, the fact that you out people for crap like this. Most people are too scared. Bravo
Nice one! It’s about time someone stands up to those two.
This is a crazy story. Sure I want to make money doing affiliate marketing, but to associate with lethal individuals like Aunesty Janssen and Patrick Reikofski it makes me want to run for the hills. As my mother would say, “You are who you hang out with” I want to hang with Kim! It concerns me that Kim, being as succesful as she is, had the wool pulled over her eyes, but love creates distorted emotions.
Shoe, I had a client mention DMOZ directory and the first thing I thought of was the situation you went through with DMOZ. Do you still not trust them or did you make friendly again?
All the best to Kim!!!
Anne-
Damn, what a story, I will remember those names to not do business with them
Thans for pointing out
Good luck to you Kim
Wow. Amazing story. Looks like Kim has won in the end.
What a great soap opera. I can’t wait for the episode where it’s revealed that all those terrible things were actually done by Aunesty Janssen’s evil long lost twin sister.
LOL thought so, too. They should take this in court and settle it once and for all.
wow what freaks… it seems if they spent as much time working on their own lives and business instead of trying to ruin someone else’s they may not be such massive fuck ups…
I couldn’t agree more. They’d have made something out of what they stole from here if they weren’t too busy bullying her. Losers.
Is her real name really Aunesty? If it sounds the way I think it does, then that’s REALLY ironic!
Extremely well written and from the heart. Highlights the pitfalls of “trust”. Hat off to you Shoe for bringing this into the spotlight.Why not make your own success in life as opposed to leaching on other’s generosity? All the very best Kim.
Unbelievable, that people want to destroy Kim. I am privledged to know her. Kim was my mentor at Affiliate Summit. She ‘s friendly , generous and willing to teach others.For Kim, what come around goes around, and good things will continue coming her way.
The old “lesbian affiliate manager sleeping with your deadbeat boyfriend story”… seen it a thousand times.
Sucks to be anyone involved in this situation.
Good articles! Thank you!
What prompted you to write it? Nice read, by the way.
Wow.. I can’t believe these people would do that to her. I’m glad that site was taken down and the story behind this is being published for other people to be aware of what these two are up to.
I like the woman´s first name : Aunesty. Sounds like … Honesty. What a joke !
hehehe indeed! ironic
Stealing her boyfriend then harassing her, totally low!
It just goes to show you that there are more horses asses in the world than horses.
Wow. Sounds like a bad soap opera: “As the Web Turns.”
I love it when assholes get what’s coming to them! Any way you could do a post on my ex-wife? ;op (just kidding)
Supposedly Aunesty has released a statement in regards to this post, she says she has “proof” of certain harrassment stuff that was going on by Kim (which I don’t know Kim so I can’t say anything about her character).
There are a couple of things that shock me about this now though:
#1: The domain WHOIS has since been returned to private registry.
#2: Aunesty says she has proof, but failed to show any in her response.
I read her post about still being harassed by Kim Rowley. I don’t know who’s telling the truth but they need to fix this soon. A story like theirs only leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Speechless but I support KIM forever!
WOW. I thought this kind of drama stopped in High School.
That is seriously wicked what some people will do! Disgust.
Thank you for sharing Kim’s story. I am sorry that she has to still deal with Patrick as a father to her kids. And Aunesty for being a stalker. Stay strong, Kim!
I am glad you posted this for many people to see with all the information. And I am happy to spread the word via social media.
Just to clarify, Patrick is not the father of her kids, he had a child with Aunesty, not Kim.
I think Patrick breaking up with Kim was the best thing that happened to her. Imagine being saddled with that kind of guy for a long time. But I have a feeling that Aunesty’s worst than the guy. They belong in a padded cell.
I agree Greg Hoffman
haters. just wave and say hi. Kim you got my support! so funny how people use the internet as a mask.
Yeah. Take the high ground, Kim! No way anyone would believe those two anyway.
Maybe up to a certain point only. I don’t think that she’ll just allow these people to drag her name through all of this without fighting back.
No one deserves this high school nonsense!!! How old is Aunesty.. 13?! Grow up and get an effin’ life!
Just because your life is a waste doesn’t me you need to try and bring others down.
My 10-year old sister acts more mature than her. Grow up, Aunesty!
My 10-year sister is bigger than me!
I hope she took legal action against those two. Too much is too much.
At the end of the day, how they choose to handle this is their business.
They should have used all those efforts and energy managing “their affiliate business” instead of stalking and harassing her.
The industry doesn’t need people like those two. I hope this post would make them realize that people who know Kim Rowley would stand by her.
I don’t do business with these people so I really don’t care. Good luck to them though. I hope they’ll be able to settle it soon.
Remember, kids, that everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
“To go a step further, Kim Rowley repeatedly discussed her sex blogs with me, and also let me know what other prominent affiliate marketer had one (whom she believed had one, I won’t state this persons name, but I do have the IM conversations where she gives details and the link to this persons site). The two sex blogs she ran, one before she met Patrick and one she ran WITH Patrick are not made up by me, but rather her work.” WTF?
I wonder what those two have to say about all this. I’ve always believed in the benefit of the doubt. But in this case, hard to believe that there’s anything remotely reasonable about their motives for doing those bad things to Kim.
Stalkers suck! Kim, I feel your pain. Stay strong and I think you are awesome! Shoe – thanks for doing a post like this.
Seems like Aunesty J. didn’t waste time clearing her name. I read an article she wrote claiming she’s the victim.
Well, the three of them are the only ones who know the real deal. They should at least make an effort to resolve this.
The real problem was the anonymous attack targeting Kim’s friends and family. No matter what happened in the past or where the truth lies, the actions of Aunesty and Patrick in the last 5 days are truly reprehensible.
How do you exactly stop one? It must be really scary to be stalked like that. Scary and irritating.
Where’s that TO CATCH A PREDATOR guy when you need him?
Major mud-slinging fest. I hope the truth will emerge for the sake of the real victim, whoever that may be.
