Kimkims Lawsuit: Class Certification Granted

In a long awaited decision, class certification has been granted in the lawsuit against Kimkins, owned by Heidi Diaz.

Stuffing her site with false testimonials, fake before and after pictures taken from online Russian dating sites, and lies about having lost 198 pounds in less than a year and maintaining that loss for over 5 years, Heidi Diaz/aka Kimmer, charged those seeking to lose weight a lifetime membership fee to her site. Following a feature in Woman's World Magazine membership boomed, as did Diaz's bank account.

Members report being advised by Heidi Diaz to take laxatives and to lower calories to dangerous extremes.
