Award-Winning Life Coach Jay Shetty is "Exposed" on the Internet for using quotes without permission

As per News18, Jay Shetty started his Facebook channel in 2016 after becoming a monk at the age of 22 and apparently living and meditating in caves (according to unverified reports). His popular daily show, #FollowTheReader on HuffPost Live, drew millions of viewers and featured interviews with top celebrities.

The motivational speaker, self-proclaimed former "monk," filmmaker, and content creator made international headlines in 2017 when he was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 list and has been nominated for and won several other awards. However, it now appears that much of Shetty's social media content and quotes were simply plagiarized.

Nicole Arbour, an internet celebrity, recently called out Jay for stealing many of his quotes from other celebrities, effectively calling him a fraud.

"I don't like it when people deceive people," Arbour said in a recent Facebook video in which she "exposed" Shetty. "He's stupid, and he stole everything that his career is built on," she said.

Nicole used the apparently original sources of some of Shetty's viral quotes to prove her point. For example:

"a relationship without trust is a like a car without gas...you can stay in it all you want but it won't go anywhere." 

This is a quotation from Michael J Herbert.

Here's another one that Arbour mentioned: 

"Most people never start because they don't want to be seen starting from the bottom. don't be MOST PEOPLE. want to start with me?" 

Analie Escalicas, a business owner, shared this on Facebook. It was on Shetty's wall a few days later.
