People Magazine
Reviews and Complaints

I have subscribed to People magazine for many many years and I will Not renew my subscription after this one! I am so sick of seeing Michelle Obama and now the Oct. 14, 2019 issue has several pages and photos of Crooked Hillary and her daughter (again!) bashing Trump. It's to the point the media is sickening! What did the Clinton's do for the US, oh it's ok that Bill Clinton had many many affairs and Hillary tried to blame it on those ladies and destroy them. What about the guys she left to die in Benghazi, etc., etc., etc.? What about the Obama's dividing this country so bad that now you hear of shootings all of the time in schools and our police are being shot every day. Where's the respect? Wake up People! President Donald Trump has done more for the people than any President in US history. He's upset everyone's apple cart since he's uncovered all of the corruption in government. Yah they want everyone to get free everything so they can control the people, while they all live there lavish lifestyles! Do you think any of them would have the same insurance they want the people to have? No they don't. Absolutely mind blowing! Like another lady said in a comment...there are 2 sides People Magazine and those of us that are not liberal (thank God we see the light!) our First Lady and our President Deserve to be on the cover of your magazine and inside it as well. Shame On You! Trump 2020!

I have not received any magazines since I renewed my subscription a month ago. I have had to buy the last 3 issues (since the first of October). I love your magazine but am getting really pissed off having to had to BUY the last 3 issues. It was renewed in plenty of time for it to be continued without missing an issue. Please respond. Looks like I need to add more, but why? You would think you would have enough people in customer complaint to resolve this issue no matter how short or long the complaint is.

In response to the 10/03/19 people.com article titled, "Universal Studios Actor Caught Flashing White Power Symbol While Posing with 2 Biracial Children, " most likely the symbol that the character used is in relation to the Circle Game that teenagers play. A quick Google search would have taken you to urbandictionary.com which states, "The goal is to trick another person into looking at his hand. If the Victim looks at the hand, he has lost the game, and is subsequently hit on the bicep with a closed fist, by the offensive player." I've seen well-intended children and teenagers play it, and it never had any racist connotation to it. I've seen people who are far from racist flash this symbol in pictures. It's the modern day version of Punch Buggy. People.com should do some research before jumping on the racist bandwagon.

I am appalled at your article this week about Sean Spicer. You degrade the man because he happened to work for Donald Trump calling him a liar yet nothing about Lamar Odom overdosing in a brothel and Ray Lewis accused of participating in two murders. Your magazine is becoming political and though I find many of your stories bad this was extremely ill advised. Let me see, Sean Spicer who worked for Donald Trump and is a family man, compared to Odom, a drug using abuser and Lewis, accused in the murder of two men. What is wrong with this picture ? because your writer doesn't like Trump, you omit the disgusting illegal things these two have done and instead call Spicer bad. I remember once seeing an article about Sean Hannity and someone complaining so you bent and apologized. That's when I stopped buying your magazine. I started again hoping that maybe now your magazine would just be about celebrities and such. I was wrong again. Shame on you and your writers. Becoming a political left wing rag.

I have been receiving my People magazine in Spanish for a few months now- I keep thinking you'll correct this- but I just received one again. I don't know where you got this notion, but either cancel my subscription or send an English version please.
I would appreciate your prompt reply. Thank you.

I was reading your magazine and could not find anywhere...how to comment on articles. Why do you people (no pun intended) make it so difficult to respond to articles? That said...will you stop putting that Meghan chick on the cover of your magazine. I am sick of seeing that family every issue. We really don't care about the Royal family. My son-in-law is from England...and he flat out said...we don't care about those people!

In this article "https://people.com/movies/natalie-portman-female-thor-scarlett-johansson-standalone-black-widow-film/" it says "And last but not least: Johansson led the cast of the standalone Scarlet Witch film, which is set for a May 1, 2020, release." Scarlet Johansson plays BLACK WIDOW.

So this should say "And last but not least: Johansson led the cast of the standalone BLACK WIDOW film, which is set for a May 1, 2020, release."

I am done with People Magazine. I've been a loyal reader for over 10 years. I received my magazine this week to find JFK jr. on the cover. My God! That's the only thing you guys can find to feature on your cover? TIRED OLD NEWS?
May I try to suggest a topic? That more than half of the country would likely buy a copy of out of real interest? The FLOTUS! The First Lady is so lovely, intelligent, well dressed, and involved in so many worthwhile projects. Are you incapable of being objective as the press should be? Try to help bring us together rather than divide? The only reference I found in this week's magazine about the POTUS was to pass on a personal accusation. If the whole liberal left couldn't pin the Russian election interference on Trump, after trying with endless funds for 18mo, then maybe you shouldn't report personal accusations either. Get the FACTS first!

I read a recent article written on a dispute between taylor swift and scooter braun in people magazine. I don't think i've ever read such one sided and buyist reporting in my life. the article offered no counter arguments or background story on the side of scooter braun at all, I think you should stop worrying about pleasing liberals and feminists and actually report stories as they are, not some reinterpretation that's purely constructed to cater to angry hateful feminists

I recently subscribed to People Magazine on Snapchat. I have not had an issue until today. When tapping through their story I came across a little (game). Based on what month you were born you are attributed a celebrity "bae". Now I looked through, just for fun, to find my month which happens to be November...and I noticed that every celeb listed was male. Now, it's 2019, the LGBTQ+ community is not unheard of and queer relationships are just as common as hetero relationship. That being said I was shocked to see only male celebrities listed on an "article" mainly targeted at women. To me, this feels rather homophobic and narrow-minded. Maybe next time you could try and be a little more inclusive of the rest of mankind not just your hetero bubble. I know it's just a "bit of fun" but your "bit of fun" is one of the reasons why homophobia is still rife today. "Hate" has to start somewhere and sometimes it looks like omission but in the wrong hands *Trumps America COUGH* it can quickly escalate to physical attacks.

I sent a check to People Magazine for my last payment of $39.42 and as of today 5/4/19 my check still hasn't cleared. I paid the first three (3) payment according to each statement and the check cleared within a week. This last payment was made in April 2019. I need someone to look into this and contact me via email @ [protected]@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your help.

I received a bill for $36.00 for magazines I neither ordered nor received. The letter is signed by 'Lois Jones' in subscription services

This is not my bill... I am the new business owner & DO NOT have magazines billed!

After Google found the Meredith Company for me, because they give NO INFORMATION OR PHONE NUMBER, to reply to, it seems that This looks like a scam!

My subscription (ron nolte- 803 crestview - monticello, il) expired last february...It was a one year gift...I received no notice to renew...We did not renew...My credit card arrived today with a charge for another year of people magazine. We do not want it, we did not authorize any charge to my credit card. Please cancel. We often buy people on the news stand...If you do not act on this matter in a prompt and fair manner, we shall no longer purchase any of your magazines ever again. This is a shoddy business practice - i hope that you are better than this. ...I do not wish to contact my credit card company, but i shall if necessary, and soon. March 22, 2019

First whoever allowed a picture of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn hiking PRIVATELY when it was apparent they didn't want to be followed through the posting/ printing room obviously doesn't have taste or morals. Secondly the picture looks very bad and choppy!

So again, I ask what is your quality as a supposed popular- use to be reliable for not stalking every celebrity on the planet in order for some attention- magazine? One that use to have morals and standards to some degree.. One that use to do interviews by other reliable approved news sources, and also considerate of the people they personally had interviewed in the past and supposedly in the present...This is a blatant disrespect of someones privacy, but a suggestion to not only your older readers, but younger teenage readers that this is okay, or acceptable to stalk and photograph someone you barely know and give out their location to new sources. YOU, MEDIAs ARE THE PROBLEM FOR ALLOWING THIS. You may have the opportunity to accept the picture and quotes and share it with the world, but you can also reject it out of your own moral ground, concious and reasoning of how you would feel to be treated in such a disgusting manner, whether you wanted to be famous or not! I expected better!
I could see other sloppy magazines, with not all the facts nor any class, dignity or following behave and do this; but I expected more from this news source, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who expected better from you and your staff. I ask the you remove it for the respect many people may have already lost for you. You'll just have to build it back up.

I did not subscribe to your magazine STOP sending them to us .You sent me 2 copies to people magazine one under my name Paula Brown and the other underwear my husbands name Ross Brown.
We are not paying for your magazine we threw them in the trash . We never subscribed to your magazine
This must be a scam saying we subscribed to your magazine. We don't like people magazine and will just throw them away.
STOP Sending us your magazine.

12/22/18, I received second rude payment due. I have been a good paying customer for MANY years. I, apparently, by mistake, checked off wrong subscription renewal box. 3 yr instead of my usual 1yr. After first rude payment notice, I sent a letter explaining what happened. No response back. Second rude notice arrives. I wrote a note about mistake and included !st month payment $29.00. My point to customer service and you is that you could learn from my Ins. Co. when I'm late with payment there response is: This is a friendly reminder. And I, promptly, get off my check. Sincerely, Janet Wheelock(Mrs. Raymond Wheelock).

Subscription number is [protected]. I made a payment on 10/9/18 but haven't received any magazines yet. In the future I should use my credit card to make the payment because then I could at least report it as a fraudulent charge since I did not receive what I paid for. If I do not hear from People magazine by 12/17/2018 saying they are in the process of sending the issues I missed, as well as the future ones, I will report them to the FTC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If I did not see the reviews here on this website I might have thought it was an honest mistake but now that seems unlikely. A company that deliberately scams customers out of their money should be reported and stopped.

After trying several time to reach a human voice at People, I called the [protected] number and pressed 3 to cancel my subscription. The voice activation system said account was cancelled. However on Sunday October 14th, People magazine charged my credit card $143.50. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE this charge. And I want the charge reversed and the magazine subscription to be cancelled as previously requested.
