Lisa Frank and her husband used all that money to throw cocaine parties and abuse their employees. All throughout the 90s, Lisa Frank products were the huge back to school craze of the decade. Girls everywhere wore their brightly-colored backpacks, stored paper in their vibrantly-rendered folders, and wrote their homework onto kitty-and-puppy-adorned notebooks with dolphin-and-tiger-emblazoned pencils. They couldn't get enough of Lisa Frank. However, behind the scenes in an office building in Tucson, Arizona, something much darker was going on at Lisa Frank headquarters. Employees report being screamed at, having chairs thrown at them, being locked in rooms for being late, and even picking up bags of cocaine and porn for their bosses. Lisa Frank and her husband, James Green, created a culture of fear, abuse, screaming, fighting, and had drug-fueled benders behind closed-doors. These are the claims made by multiple former Lisa Frank employees. Are they true? And who exactly is the enigmatic Lisa Frank? On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the warped, rainbow colored world of Lisa Frank.
