Jay Shetty Alleged of 'Lying' About His Past; Here's Everything You Need To Know

Popular life coach, influencer, and podcaster Jay Shetty is making headlines for allegedly faking details about his life story. A report also claimed that he had plagiarized his several social media posts as well.

He enjoys massive popularity among Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities and uses his social media platforms to talk about life philosophies. His official website states, "During his school years, Jay Shetty spent vacations living with monks in India, immersing himself in their wisdom and teachings." 

Now, the report by The Guardian has claimed that Shetty has lied about spending three years in Indian temples. 

Did Jay Shetty Lie About His Past?

He hosts a podcast called, 'On Purpose'. Born in London, he went to business school. He claims that he has a degree in behavioral science from a business school that doesn't even offer the course.  He also runs a Jay Shetty Certification School. The report by The Guardian questions his educational qualifications. 

The report reads, "After graduating, Shetty forgoes a life of material success to live as a monk himself. Three years later, he has another revelation: his purpose in life is not to live the humble life of a monk but to use his preternatural oratory skills to share wisdom with the world. Thus begins his transformation into a public self-help personality and his swift rise to fame. Shetty's success is largely predicated on this riches-to-rags-to-riches backstory."

Shetty also has reportedly misquoted facts about his life in his biography including the claim that his life changed at 18 when he heard a lecture by a monk.

The report also states that Shetty demands huge sums of money for his guidance. "Shetty has used his spiritual authority to launch many subscription and education services, including the life-coaching school, which charges $7,400 a term for Postgraduate Diploma (Level 7) qualifications” – equivalent to a master's degree.”
