“Before establishing her bona fides as a spiritual leader on the West Coast, #Williamson spent her twenties somewhat adrift, temping and briefly working as a cabaret singer. Her life in early 1970s New York City, …was a haze of “bad boys and good dope.”

rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
“… ‘She also spent some time living in a commune in a geodesic dome in New Mexico’

#Williamson said in a 2009 interview that she spent most of her time growing vegetables there, … living on a commune in a geodesic dome in New Mexico.”

“… ‘Williamson is critical of vaccines’

“At a campaign event in New Hampshire… , #Williamson drew controversy when she referred to mandatory vaccination as “Orwellian” and “draconian.””

rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
“… ‘She is allegedly not the best person to work for.’

While perhaps unsurprising that someone who describes herself as a “bitch for God” would be a less than ideal manager, #Williamson’s fans were shocked when, in 1992, Entertainment Weekly …”

rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
“… published a story alleging that #Williamson used bullying and intimidation tactics to keep her employees in line, with one former Williamson acolyte criticizing her ”despotic, tyrannical streak and inability even to hear dissent.” …”

rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
“… The story also claimed #Williamson used her charitable works, such as her Centers for Living & her charities to benefit people w/AIDS, as a front to furnish her own brand. Williamson denied the allegations with a response that could best be summarized as “bitches be jealous””
“Education: dropped out of Pomona College after studying theater and philosophy for two years”

‘Who is Marianne #Williamson?’
politifact.com/article/2019/j…
#Williamson dropped out of college after sophomore year, and in 1973 she moved to New York, where she worked as a cabaret singer. (“ ‘Work’ is relative,” she clarifies over email. “I sang, the same way Bill Clinton played the saxophone.”) …”

washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/…
“… Two years later, she noticed the just-published “A Course in Miracles” on a coffee table at a party.…

It also served as the inspiration for #Williamson’s lectures at the Houston-area metaphysical bookstore she ran after leaving New York and, eventually, for her 12 books.…”
“… #Williamson and Trump have quite a bit in common. Both are wealthy non-politicians who sought (or seek) the presidency without previously holding public office. …”

washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/…
“… So why can’t #Williamson act as physician in a more modest office than president of the United States? “Any lower office than the presidency is primarily a management function,” Williamson tells me. “There are people better at certain mechanics of…”
