Leaders of ‘orgasmic meditation' women's wellness company OneTaste convicted in forced labor trial
NEW YORK (AP) — The leaders of a sex-focused women's wellness company that promoted 'orgasmic meditation' have been convicted of federal forced labor charges. A Brooklyn jury on Monday found Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste Inc., and Rachel Cherwitz, the California-based company's former sales director, guilty of forced labor conspiracy after deliberating for less than two days following a roughly monthlong trial. Daedone's defense team had cast her as a 'ceiling-shattering feminist entrepreneur' who created a unique business around women's sexuality and empowerment. But prosecutors argued the two women ran a yearslong scheme that groomed adherents — many of them victims of sexual trauma — to do their bidding. They said Daedone and Cherwitz used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and indoctrination to force OneTaste members into sexual acts they found uncomfortable or repulsive, such as having sex with prospective investors or clients. The two told followers the questionable acts were necessary in order to obtain 'freedom' and 'enlightenment' and demonstrate their commitment to the organization's principles. Prosecutors said OneTaste leaders also didn't pay promised earnings to the members-turned-workers and even forced some of them to take out new credit cards to continue taking the company's courses. OneTaste started in San Francisco around 2005 as a sort of self-help commune that viewed female orgasms as key to sexual and psychological wellness and interpersonal connection. A centerpiece was 'orgasmic meditation,' carried out by men manually stimulating women in a group setting. The company quickly opened outposts from Los Angeles to London following glowing media coverage in the 2010s. At the time, OneTaste was portrayed as a cutting-edge enterprise that prioritized women's sexual pleasure. But Daedone sold her stake in 2017 — a year before OneTaste's marketing and labor practices came under scrutiny. The company's current owners, who have rebranded it the Institute of OM Foundation, have said its work has been misconstrued and the charges against its former executives were unjustified.

Ollie's says the 18 Big Lots stores it took over are 'off to a very strong start'
Ollie's Bargain Outlet says early returns have been positive after taking over 18 stores from Big Lots, which filed for bankruptcy in 2024. Between January and May, Ollie's opened 25 new stores throughout the country − a record for the Pennsylvania-based retailer. Eighteen of those stores were former Big Lots locations. Earlier this year, Ollie's acquired 40 Big Lots locations through auction, as the latter filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2024. As of May 3, Ollie's operates 584 stores in 32 states. "These stores are off to a very strong start," Ollie's CEO Eric van der Valk said of the new stores during an earnings call on June 3. "We appear to be benefiting from the fact that these are warm boxes, with a built-in discount customer shopping base, which was our hypothesis going in." In addition to the new store openings, Ollie's experienced a 13.4% increase in sales during its first quarter, a total revenue of $576.8 million, according to a news release. With the slogan "Good Stuff Cheap," Ollie's is a discount retailer that offers closeout and excess inventory for lower prices. The retailer sells items like clothing, home goods, toys, hardware, food and books.
