Monat, a multi-level marketing company, has settled a lawsuit brought by one of its most successful distributors over allegations that the company slashed her earnings by 75%.

Toni Vanschoyck spent over a decade building a lucrative business with Monat, pulling in more than $100,000 a month since 2015. Then her commissions cratered. After questioning why her paycheck had been gutted, Monat terminated her in May 2024. That's when Vanschoyck filed suit in June 2024.

The settlement came fast. By November 2024, the case went to mediation. On January 14, 2025, a Final Mediation Report confirmed the two sides had reached a confidential settlement agreement. The court closed the case on January 15th after Vanschoyck filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal on January 31st.

What Monat paid Vanschoyck—or if they paid her anything at all—remains sealed. The settlement terms are confidential.

The timing is curious. Vanschoyck announced late last year that she's launching her own MLM company called FermaGlo, which pitches "fermented beauty products." The website currently sits in "pre, pre launch" limbo.

This settlement isn't Monat's first legal headache. On January 27th, the company settled another lawsuit—this one alleging that owners ran Monat like a "mafia family." That case, too, was resolved through a confidential joint stipulation, meaning the public will never know what happened behind closed doors.

The pattern repeating itself raises questions about what Monat wants kept quiet. Two major lawsuits settled in quick succession, both wrapped in confidentiality agreements. Both cases disappeared from public view without explanation.

For distributors like Vanschoyck, these settlements offer little transparency. They get paid and sign away their right to speak. Monat gets to move on without admitting wrongdoing or explaining why top earners suddenly watched their income collapse. The public learns nothing.
