Chelsea Smallwood, a California-based TikTok creator and
|
|
lifestyle coach, has built a multifaceted business empire
|
|
around infidelity experiences through her organization
|
|
"The Other Woman and the Wife." The organization, which
|
|
includes a podcast, coaching services, online community, and
|
|
retreats, has grown from Smallwood's personal experience of
|
|
having an affair with a married coworker in 2013 to become a
|
|
controversial platform that monetizes complex relationship
|
|
dynamics while facing serious legal challenges in 2025.

From Personal Scandal to Business Opportunity

Chelsea Smallwood's journey began with her own extramarital
|
|
affair. Living in Novato, California, Smallwood initially
|
|
gained notoriety by creating TikTok content that openly celebrated her affair, including videos where she would dance while boasting about details of her relationship with a married man.{' '}
|
|
<strong>
|
|
She holds only a bachelor's degree in Economics with no
|
|
formal qualifications in counseling or life coaching
|
|
</strong>
|
|
, yet has positioned herself as an expert in navigating
|
|
infidelity situations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
After her own marriage ended and she married her affair partner, with whom she now has children, Smallwood
|
|
opportunistically transformed her personal scandal into a profitable business model. She
|
|
evolved from creating "relatable affair content" to
|
|
establishing The Other Woman and the Wife LLC, expanding
|
|
beyond social media into multiple revenue streams including
|
|
coaching, community memberships, and retreat hosting.

Social Media Presence Drives Controversial Growth

The organization maintains an active digital footprint across
|
|
multiple platforms. Their TikTok account @theowandthewife has
|
|
accumulated{' '}
|
|
<strong>47,300 followers and 1.1 million likes</strong>,
|
|
while their Instagram presence and websites (towtw.com and
|
|
theotherwomanandthewife.com) serve as primary touchpoints for
|
|
their audience. The content strategy, which claims to focus on "humanizing
|
|
humans" and providing "coaching with compassion," is heavily
|
|
criticized for normalizing and even glorifying destructive behavior.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Smallwood's content evolution reflects attempts to distance
|
|
the brand from its controversial origins. She has reportedly
|
|
wiped much of her original TikTok content that explicitly
|
|
celebrated affair experiences, attempting to rebrand as a
|
|
more professional coaching service. Despite these efforts,
|
|
the organization's foundation on monetizing infidelity
|
|
continues to generate significant criticism.

Major Lawsuit Threatens the Organization's Future

In 2024, The Other Woman and the Wife LLC became embroiled in
|
|
a significant legal battle.{' '}
|
|
<strong>
|
|
The organization filed suit against Kristen Jacobs in Miami
|
|
County, Ohio Common Pleas Court (Case No. 24-498), but
|
|
faces serious counter-allegations including tortious
|
|
interference with business relations, cyberbullying,
|
|
invasion of privacy, and emotional distress.
|
|
</strong>{' '}
|
|
The lawsuit has exposed troubling practices within the
|
|
community.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Court documents reveal allegations that the organization
|
|
shared private text messages, personal medical information,
|
|
and photos of children without consent. The community
|
|
allegedly enabled members to mock and harass victims of
|
|
infidelity, with accusations of contacting victims'
|
|
therapists and making inappropriate statements about their
|
|
mental health. These practices have led to a GoFundMe
|
|
campaign supporting the defendant and increased scrutiny of
|
|
the organization's methods.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Critics describe the community as promoting "depraved petty
|
|
behavior" and creating "a horrifying place for only
|
|
UNhealing to occur." Reviews suggest the platform encourages
|
|
gaslighting and gives false hope to affair partners seeking
|
|
to legitimize their relationships. However, some supporters
|
|
praise the "well-executed conversations about deeper human
|
|
psychology" and value the sense of connection within the
|
|
community.

Monetizing Controversy Through Multiple Revenue Streams

The business model is built on exploiting the emotional vulnerability of people affected by infidelity. Revenue is generated through various streams: charging for community membership, offering coaching sessions at premium rates despite
|
|
Smallwood's lack of credentials, podcast monetization, selling high-priced retreats in Mexico, and marketing online courses to individuals in emotionally fragile situations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>
|
|
The organization's expansion to include licensed
|
|
professionals appears designed to legitimize services that
|
|
began without proper qualifications
|
|
</strong>
|
|
, potentially shielding the business from criticism about
|
|
unqualified coaching. This strategic hiring of credentialed
|
|
team members like clinical therapist Carolina Vilalva
|
|
represents an evolution from the initial model built solely
|
|
on personal experience.

Chelsea Smallwood's transformation from TikTok creator
|
|
sharing affair stories to CEO of The Other Woman and the Wife
|
|
LLC illustrates how personal scandal can be monetized in the
|
|
digital age. While the organization markets itself as a source of support, the pending lawsuit and extensive allegations of harmful practices expose the deeply questionable ethics of profiting from infidelity. The organization's
|
|
future depends on resolving legal challenges while attempting
|
|
to maintain credibility in an inherently controversial space
|
|
that many view as exploiting vulnerable individuals rather
|
|
than genuinely helping them heal.
