Role: Defendant — Simone Reynolds (Female, 40, Any Race)
Veronica St. James claims matchmaker Simone Reynolds set her up with unsuitable, unattractive matches and secretly used candidates from a “Glow Up” program rather than the premium database Veronica paid for. Simone denies wrongdoing, stating she matched Veronica with educated, stable, genuine men, and that none came from any Glow Up program. Simone also explains her process: she shares written profiles only because she believes in emotional connection and “the element of surprise,” and she points to her clearly stated no-refund policy.
