Wearehacienda Reviews 10

I guess I’m just another statistic confirming the widespread sexual abuse and coercion that happens in hacienda Villa.
I had been a member for years. It was fun to meet new people that were open-minded and relaxed. But the vibe changed in the last few years. I Started noticing more foreign girls that barely spoke any English and served as “hosts” in their events. Later on it was revealed they were Ukrainian and Russian girls being trafficked and forced into sex with senior members. A lot of members are cops and lawyers who have easy access to trafficked girls for sex, do you think they are going to let the organization go down? This is why they remain active and profitable even after having an entire New York Times bomb article dedicated to them.
Jeffrey Epstein had nothing on these monsters.

Not to mention, Beth Pelletier (Beth “sparksfire”) Is one of the most unpleasant, pedantic self-centered people you will ever meet. Her sexual deviancy includes letting her nasty husband abuse their two kids. They probably upload their little family “ménage’s” to the dark web, would not put that past them.

Stay away from this place

Went to a Hacienda Villa Social earlier this year. I was sorely disappointed on the awful atmosphere, rude hosts and the fake consent theater they set up as to hide all the shady stuff going on in these parties.

The events have essentially two parts to them: A superficial portion in which everyone is fake nice to you (especially as a single female) and a deeper end in which they know which guests are most vulnerable to recruit and abuse on a regular basis. The latter happens at later hours and different rooms.

You can also tell how the organizers are super lookist and super racist. Only if you are a white, pretty person will you get any kind of positive attention. For the rest, you're on your own and they treat like they just did you a gigantic favor to just let you through the door.

I would definitely stay away from this place. Just read the news.

I recently attended an event as a single female. I went in without knowing the organization's history (that was my mistake). It wasn't until after I suffered an incident that I read the horrific comments, the New York Times article, and police reports uploaded on social media.
Oh my god! the absolute heavy negative vibes! I'm very intuitive, but you don't need to be to understand that this place was funded by creeps. I was approached and harassed at least three times. Now I understand why so many women came forward with sexual abuse allegations. And even with an entire article in the New York Times dedicated to documenting horrific sexual abuse by members and funders alike, people still pay and show up to these things! Something is seriously wrong here.

Please stay away from this place! Abuse is guaranteed, and don't let the whole "enthusiastic consent" theater fool you. They use this egregiously to help you feel "safe".

Went to a workshop from Hacienda back in June about "safer spaces". Yes, they do have a lot of "consent theater" which is emphasized a lot. Yet CREEPER VIBES GALORE! the members and organizers themselves seem very off. A lot of creepy, pushy behavior on one hand, while others just seem gaslit and dominated (usually the women). There is something very wrong going on in this organization. And the fact that those accusations made THE NEW YORK TIMES and they are still making millions out of these sold out events tells me two things:
1-Either people don't read the news
2-Or It is full of people that simply don't care and will do anything to keep this human trafficking place open (mostly men that want access to easy sex of course).

This place needs to get SHUT DOWN!

As an outraged ex-member, It is really concerning that no arrests have been (publicly) made in this organization. Andrew Cray as well as a Beth Pelletier are well known pimps and human traffickers.
The New York Times article related to sexual abuse and misconduct within the organization only touches the surface on just how putrid and foul this organization is. That little asian fella, Kenneth "Play" (Yim) is a Nitro-CREEPO. His tiny penis energy and thirst for recognition/validation through this laughable persona he invented (allow me to burst out laughing a bit at the term "sex hacker") are just so painfully evident.

And to be clear, it's not a crime to pretend you are this cringey ridiculous "sex hacker", but you could at least be more prudent at hiding your abusive, creepy behavior if your entire bit is based around sex. I mean how stupid are you?

The New York Times piece says it all.
A lot of victims have been complaining about the culture of this place for years.
Now that survivors have a voice, everyone who has access to easy sex through this human trafficking organization is panicking.

It's over guys, Hacienda is done.

I can't attest to any of these accusations. They certainly are serious allegations and should be investigated.
However, I can attest to the overall shallow and discriminatory admission approach of this particular organization.

My husband and I applied and we were basically told the same thing. We were too old and too ugly (not directly by the owners, but by other members). They also told us they were going to leave the organization because it felt "very cliquey". Which is more akin to a pyramid scheme or a cult (not saying that this organization is either...officially).

In polyamory we have this term called "harem building" in which an individual or group utilizes deceitful tactics in order to have easy access to young women for sex. Hacienda Villa certainly sparks high suspicions in me that it engages in harem building aggressively. Otherwise, the appeal for paying members and revenue may not be as high.

Going back to the "clique" part. I do notice that its members, particularly the male ones, defend this organization fiercely and without regard to who they might re traumatize or offend. Which is even more suspicious. But after all, there aren't many platforms or places in which, if you know the right people and pay the right admission price, you could have easy access to young women.

Overall I would not recommend this organization regardless of your relationship style or kink.

Hacienda Villa poses as a sex positive organization that is inclusive, progressive and empowers women and their sexuality. Except, this is all a farse. Hacienda Villa is a sex trafficking organization in the problematic Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn that recruits and coerces young vulnerable women into unpaid sex work for profit. The founders Andrew Cray and Elizabeth Pelletier are portrayed as these happy go lucky people and sex positive polyamorous “power couple” in podcasts and magazines, when in reality, they are monsters pimping young women to perverts, mobsters and corrupt NYPD officers. The fact that they have not been cancelled and exposed as these Jeffrey Epstein-like ghouls on a large scale throughout these years is appaling. But I have a feeling they will eventually be exposed for what they are.

I agree with Robert’s review.
Hacienda Villa NYC is actually a human trafficking group. Are you a young white pretty girl? Boom ! You’re in! Also if you are just a willing female in general. Guys only get in if they have washboard abs and are in their 20’s, 30’s at the most. OR you can be a fat, old out of shape dude as long as you have a lot of money. Overall, this is how criminal clubs and organizations behave, there is no real vetting process, only looks and cash. The founder is a bloke called Andrew Cray and his wife Elizabeth Pelletier. Cray has a boatload of failed startups and businesses, a true snake oil salesman, low life. There is also a little asian guy called Kenneth Yim who has a track record of sexual abuse. He poses as some sort of “sex educator” with a high school diploma. Give it a few years and we’ll be seeing a true crime Netflix docu series on this place. It’s a cesspool.

Went to one of their Halloween events in NYC.
We initially liked the vibe and some members encouraged my boyfriend and myself to join. They pose as a "sex-positive community that attracts people from all backgrounds, genders and sexual orientation" Well, that is a complete farse. Our application was denied. It seems they are profoundly racist, homophobic and care nothing about a "sex positive community" it just seems like they are recruiting a harem of young girls for the nasty older mebers and founders. And BTW, usually young WHITE girls. Because who want to hang out in a sex party with nothing but gay guys like us right? I have never felt so duped, excluded and just overall hurt by an organization's lies and hypocrisy. If you value yourself as a human being, or know of a young girl about to apply....buyer BEWARE!
