Josie mentioned on her last visit that there had been a bad drought in the region, so that had decreased the amount of argan harvest this year.

A friend mentioned she read somewhere that Josie won't be back on air due to sexual comments she has made while on air. But her products will still be sold on Q. Josie was doing a Instagram live today helping raise money for the California fires and she said she won't be on the air anymore but her products will still be sold.

I wonder if this is true or just rumor? It was strange how at the end of one show, she said it would be her last show.

I do think there was something that happened that caused her to abruptly end her appearances on the Q.

Me too it was too quick. I got the most part enjoyed her show. Yes sometimes it was oh no did she really say that. Some of her products I really really like and vehemently my supply is gone I’ll be said especially the super size body scrub. I went a bought a Pacifica at Target and it’s ok. I’ll save lots of money Josie line not being on air. I won’t by Philosophy it’s not the same.
But it will be wierd today either way beauty class and no Josie products.

@Funshopping.. and SanAntonio Gal..
Interesting, I could see some truth to what u heard. It was too abrupt. She left her fan base hanging. I miss Josie’s products. I am trying to replace her body butter with/ Philisophy, Beekman, Cerave, etc. nothing compares.☹️ Josie used to say silly things and honestly she never meant any harm. It’s a shame.

Josie did leave abruptly claiming that she wanted to spend more time with her family. That seems to be very odd because her children are growing up. However, there have been a few articles online about how QVC is going to change over the next few years due to low viewership and loss of revenue. One article said that within the next 2-3 years the QVC we know will be gone. No more on air presentations. If that is true maybe she decided to leave before all of this happens.

I enjoy her body butter, especially for my legs, but her line is too greasy for my face. However, I stopped purchasing her products after a year or two, when she ramped up her ridiculous and egregious falsehoods on air. I work in beauty so I know how to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, but her claims and statements are just outrageous and in many cases plain old lies (ex: 2 months ago, she said "put this argan on your face, go to bed, wake up with NO wrinkles".) I was also put off with the repeated "God-given" mentions. I never understood why QVC legal didn't shut that down.

@Tricolor - The claim about wanting to spend more time with family is a crock.

If she decided to leave on her own, she would have given a notice to her fans that would be leaving in the near future - not just at the end of one of her shows.

I still think it was Q that asked her to leave.
