candice brathwaite : Most liked Posts

Who is her audience?
I am black myself and I was bullied by girls like Candice at school who would pull my hair thinking it was a wig and tell everyone I had fake hair, girls like Candice made my life like hell in primary and secondary school, seems like she is grew up just as mean

I will never support women like her as deep down they are bulllies

I have some wonderful black friends are successful and do not behave like her, Vitamin D project is a breath of fresh air

Same with Kelechi, a mean bully who now wants a space with the white people. Kelechi does not speak for me as a black women or many other other black women that I know

Also, is it not a bit hypocritical trying to be the black woman advocate and whatever else but you would never come close to a black man and has always been wanting a white Jewish man as she her previous exposed tweets show- referring to Kelechi, was even excited to be in New York once and was close to having orgasms as surrounding by a lot of Jewish men - okay maybe not orgasms but close enough

Candice and Kelechi are those mean girls in the playground that didnt want any other black women doing better than them as they were and continue to be intimidated by successful black women

Late to this debate about the documentary/documentaries. When I saw Candice’s post yesterday I had two thoughts:

1. Candice made a living exploiting women. The issue about the disgraceful mortality rates amongst black women receiving maternity care is both a race issue and a women’s issue. Candice cannot advocate on behalf of women, given her history as an exploiter of women. She is also not nearly experienced enough; no amount of manifestation or crystal rubbing is going to give her the skill needed to present an important, hopefully revolutionary documentary on the BBC.

2. Rochelle is also not the right presenter. She has the skill, likeability and the reach. But having birthed in private hospitals and as a celebrity (who will be listened to by medical professionals in any setting), makes her far removed from the situation which is attributed to so many different things.

I would have liked to see a black woman who wasn’t British born present this. Someone who had learnt English as a second language. Alternatively someone like The Doctor Mummy who admittedly doesn’t have the media experience, but is a black mother who birthed and works within the NHS, and championed this from the start.

I agree with all of this. There are a whole host of Black and Brown health professionals on social media that would have been a better fit than either of these two. Yes Candice has spoken a lot about motherhood and has touched on Black maternal deaths a few times but she is still no expert. Shes an expert in pimpdom. She does have a lived experience of birth trauma however. Does that make her the best fit for thus show? Black women are 4x more likely to die and mixed race 3 x so it does affect the racial group that Rochelle sits in too. Its like its a competition of who is most likely to die. Rochelle has monetary privilege and so does Candice now. Neither are suited to the documentary and now we have a situation where one woman is getting sympathy over a documentary that she was never asked to present and the other, having just had a baby and probably feeling pretty vulnerable, is getting insane abuse on social media for not refusing to take part.

Colourism is real and rife in the UK, we know this. Its an issue that needs to be dealt with separately because at the moment, all the white media are doing is laughing at a bunch of Black people attacking each other over it.

Still absolutely baffles me how she can discuss structural racism, denied opportunities and the oppression of BME people in this country in the same breath as she talks about how she 'manifests' all of the wealth and opportunities she has.

Literally which one is it Candy? Are you affected by the world around you or can you just magic up everything you want? It absolutely boils my piss.

She's bordering on god complex territory on her latest caption, it's ridiculous.

So she has a assistant, house manager, nanny, and cleaner? What is she actually doing that makes her so busy?

To add to this she seems to think she is exempt from being called up on making sweeping statements and gross generalisations about other minorities. Ignorance is (in her eyes and in her situation) her perfectly justifiable excuse. Yet no-one else is allowed the same priviledge. Its “educate youself, read up on it, do better” but also “dont be asking me because i cant be bothered to teach you unless you are going to pay me to talk.” It’s never about the actual cause, its always only about the coin with Candice. That is where her loyalties start and end. Money. She couldn’t give a rats ass about other peoples struggles unless she can monetise it or get attention from it in some way. She’s never the problematic one, always the victim.

She also trots out the line "you don't get to come into my space and tell me I'm wrong and I can delete you if you do to maintain my good vibe" line. Yes, we all have the right to have who we want in our social media space but you can't treat everyone who has a differing opinion to yours as racist or a troll or a bully.

How fucking narcissistic to only keep the comments that blow smoke up your arse.

I guarantee all of her white followers are shit scared of her because they don't want to be labelled a racist so they praise and praise and praise her and are grateful if she gives them a scrap of attention.

Something has always struck me as so off about Candice. I’m sort of stuck between loving seeing a black woman thriving in a predominantly white market and desperately wanting to see her do well, but also between this gut feeling that she actually isn’t a good person at all. That the things she so readily judges others for and rightly so (racism, bullying, elitism) she is continuously guilty of herself. From her relationship with her Mother, her Sister, even what seems a rather volatile and sometimes even resentful relationship with her young daughter Esme (which she yet again puts down to being someone elses fault, in this case her mothers and a traumatic birth). There never seems to be any accountability on her behalf. Never. If someone doesnt like her, it must be because she’s black. If she lashes out at people, its because she’s dealing with trauma caused by others. If others are dealing with trauma themselves they’re beneath her, jealous and need to keep the f**k out of her way. Its hard to support someone who seems hell bent on tearing others down with a smug smile on her face. She’s like the kid at school who’s finally been invited to the ‘mean girls’ table and after years of hating them and saying how awful they are, turns out she’s just as much a narcissistic bully as they are fucks sake!

Her problem is she's an absolute cunt and if anyone questions her behaviour, they are racist, if anyone says anything slightly critical or what she sees as negative, then they are racist.

She knows that people are scared of being labeled racist and will back down and she throws that around like no one's business.

There are plenty more black woman who are breaking these barriers without alienating everyone else and behave a lot nicer than she does.

She never owns her own shitty behaviour and lays the blame at everyone else's door. She thinks she perfect.

Absolute toad she is.

Imagine showing off your expensive designer clothes, shoes and bags daily (sometimes with more than one #OOTD darlings), but sending your child into preschool with visible knees and scuffed shoes which look small. Shocking. I get ‘play clothes’ but this is unacceptable, for any day of the year… and today is his birthday!

I followed CB off the back of the MMD page, thinking I'd learn something about race and motherhood, trying to do "the work" as a privileged white woman, but I've reached the conclusion that there's nothing to learn there.

I see her comment on the Peanut post that she nearly gave up on MMD because her "personal career began to develop". That career appears to consist of relentless self promotion, asking for free stuff, and making Manolo Blahniks somehow look bad, peppered with the odd sprinkling of racism.

There are brilliant black women and WOC on Instagram who inform and inspire, and I hate that a social-climber and pimp is attempting to align herself with their cause.

If I remember correctly from the doc which has now mysteriously disappeared, ‘Candy’ and another woman were ‘escorts and entrepreneurs’ who acted as Madams in an escort agency. This was from the time of that Billie Piper show about ‘high-class escorts’ so I suppose that was the influence. ‘Candy’ was also seen posing nude in a fur coat so, yes, absolutely on the game herself.

If anyone wants to see a REAL insight into prostitution, I recommend watching the BBC iPlayer documentary about Britain’s red-light district. It’s mostly drug addicts having sex for a fiver, being manipulated by men around them and sharing deeply depressing stories of childhood trauma. That is the reality of sex work for the vast majority of women around the world. Anyone who tries to glamourise it or promote it as an ‘entrepreneur’ is scum and a misogynist in my opinion.

Rochelle is a professional TV presenter and media personality. Candice is just a jumped up rogue influencer.

Finally!!! Finally please God let this be the beginning of the end of this charlatan and pimp. Very telling that her own sister calls her a devil. Candice is so busy trying to fake her history for her new book, trying hard to write like amazing black women out there who write about actual trauma, that she's totally fabricated the past. Her sister says Candice lies because she never expects her family to respond. I believe her sister 100%. As a woman of colour I'm sick of pimp Candy manipulating the truth and riding to millionaire status off the back of blm and actual black trauma.

Black people calling out white privilege and racism they experience is not racism, we as white people are not oppressed! They (Black people) can be rude, offensive etc but racism is a social construct. The Doctor Mummy, like many people of colour, aren’t responsible for educating us on racism and white privilege - I don’t blame her for not wanting to just tell someone what work they need to do. They don’t owe you that! And her having a white husband doesn’t mean she can’t also call out racism or white privilege in others, I’m baffled why loving and making a family with a white person means she can’t? That’s like saying if a white person dates a black person they can’t possibly be racist - they absolutely can!!!!

Fucking hate the manifestation bull that's all over social media atm. Imagine going through financial hardship, worry, ill health, domestic violence, war, stress etc and then seeing posts like hers telling people she manifested her success/ money/ health. It's utter bullshit and I honestly don't know why people follow her. She's a professional gaslighter.

Why not be honest and say she was a pimp and from there she built her profile via the TV show and then capitalised on the blm openings. As a person of colour I can categorically say that she has done the cause more damage than good.

Bathroom tiles from Seville in her flat pack new build... That’s about as nouveau riche as it gets.

I'm sorry but I can't believe she thought she would be presenting a documentary. On the telly. Come on, it takes years to be able to present serious documentaries. Rochelle and Emma Willis are only just moving into it and they are already famous. Do people jump from insta to presenting?? Because most presenters maintain that it takes years for that jump it doesn't happen overnight and you have to take a few shit presenting jobs first...

She’s a typical influencer. Wants the moon on a stick for essentially titting about on Instagram.

Don't follow her and I had no idea who Rochelle was until I googled. I also haven't read her book so don't know how much content is dedicated to Black maternal mortality, BUT, I'm not sure why this is a surprise to anyone. Television is about an image, it isn't necessarily about who the best person is, it's about who has the best image for the TV production company. That has always been the case. Does anyone think that Louis Theroux (who I love BTW) is the best to confront issues of poverty in the UK, when he is from a middle class background, or drug/substance abuse?

If CB was told the documentary was hers then I can totally see why she is upset, but I can see why they have chosen Rochelle over her, and that is not taking her lighter skin into account. The image they both give off is very different, Rochelle comes across as much more palatable to the general public. CB didn't give a flying monkey about maternal health when she was making money from women's bodies. I follow a lot of Black women and the real champion of the cause is thedoctormummy, as an obs/gynae doctor from a very working class background she has rallied on and on about this, the documentary should be hers, but hey ho, production companies don't really care if the presenter/rep is entirely demographic or not. They are concerned about making money, not accurate representation.

I haven’t watched it’s a sin and I haven’t read what she’s written about it but can we just remember that she threw her HIV positive mum under a bus in her book. I think her sister spoke out about how badly Candy treated their mum.

She doesn’t half talk some shite.

Weirdly constructed, grammatically offensive shite.

Racism is a social structure that allows white people to benefit and hold power, her being derogatory about white people or white privilege isn’t the same thing.
