This isn’t exclusive to CB so isn’t a dig but whenever I see premium/luxury brands gifting willy nilly to influencers it instantly writes them off, if their cost of goods is so low they can just send bits out with no consideration to brand/measurement/ROI I just think god what cheap tat must your product actually be…? Like why would you pay more for something the brand themselves don’t seem to place much value in…

I’m not a particular fan of Candice’s purely because her style of writing grates on me but it seems the BBC approached her, got all of her insight and thoughts and then ditched her for someone light skinned and more attractive. That’s just abhorrent, particularly considering the subject matter.

She's comparing her ancestors struggles with oppression to her having to stay in because of corona? Jesus wept.

Has a bee in her bonnet about the “fetishisation” of black men (yawn) but thought nothing of pimping out the
Bodies of women of all races so she could fill
Her own pockets......

shut the fuck up Candy

I read CB's first book and found this thread after googling her name - grateful I did! She comes across much better in her first book then she does on social media where she isn't edited/filtered. It's pretty clear she is very performative in her activism and all about monetising. Her 'beef' with this show seems to be her trying to have her Slumflower moment and I hope for Rochelle's sake, it dies down soon.

I also found her statement post on IG to be quite inflammatory. One poster has replied saying something like "yes these stories should be told by black women" .... completing undermining/negating Rochelle's blackness. Yes, colourism exists but you can call that out without throwing hatred at other black women/woc who are lighter. As a woc myself, I encounter these attitudes a lot and it's so unhelpful to the wider conversation. CB is doing great things to create more divisions tbh.
It appears she has amassed a cult like collective on Instagram with people kissing her backside left right and centre, despite the fact that she's exploited women herself during her time as a sexworker/madam, and has now thrown Rochelle under a bus for doing nothing! I wish people would take the time to Google her as a lot of her new fans are only seeing her at face value. There are better ways to out yourself as a great woman without dragging another one down. My respect for her has nosed dived dramatically in recent times, I actually used to think she was alright. Her subtle humblebragging, moaning and pointing the finger at everyone else is exasperating.

I don’t know who she is anymore.
A very racist lady, extreme views but only that benefit her and her race, looks down on white people and spews hatred and anger in all she says, she thinks the world owes her a living. She Thinks she’s owed the world because she was brought up in sout east London/Brixton and had a hard life. Haven’t we all lady. She’s got some deep rooted anger issues and needs to address her problems instead of spouting off at everyone else.

She thinks she’s made it because she has had 1 good year with money, very distasteful and laughable. Money can go just as quickly as it comes.

And here’s the thing Candice ... money doesn’t make you rich. She’s got some twisted morals.
You try be Oprah or the next Michelle Obama but you are so materialistic and full of yourself I don’t think you can make it out the door CHILE.

But hey you think your doing so well in life because your 1k of clearing your debt, I think you need money management classes why the hell buying all the gucci and the labels and splashing cash if your still in debt 😂 honestly!!! She’s so tacky.

She’s here with her daughter laughing about Pimp capes and openly speaking about being a madam. So much for not wanting her kids to find out while being filmed with them discussing her past working life on a channel that has 3.5 Million Subscribers!

Owning her past good on her - but OWN all of it!!
