ok so this might be mixed opinions but I personally find it a little sad when someone proposes then you find out they are pregnant it almost feels like he did it just because he felt he should? Just my opinion!

As someone who has always been a Gemma fan and has defended her a fair few times on here… I’ve finally seen the light.

Totally respect her putting her mental health first and taking a break, she owes no one an explanation, but to come back and post about 10 ads over the space of a week, and no actual content is showing utter disrespect to her fans, most of which who were actually worried and caring about her well being.

I’ve reached out to her a few times myself when she has mentioned being down over the years, sending long, thoughtful messages with personal antidotes. She has read every single one and never replied. Not even a double tap on the message to heart it. I get that you can’t reply to everyone, but there is no way I am opening someone’s message and reading it to then just ignore it, especially when they have clearly put a lot of thought into it. I’ve also supported her brand, purchased her recommendations, and recomended her on other threads when people have been looking for new YouTubers. What has tipped me over the edge is that in this time following her when she has read and ignored every single message of support I have ever sent, she will be all in the comments of famous influencers that she is not friends with and hasn’t even met. So you have time for fake insta gal pals, but you don’t have time to respond to people who have taken time out of their day to try and send you a thoughtful message to cheer you up? Just to be clear, I haven’t bombarded her with messages, I have sent a few thoughtful messages over the years when she has mentioned she’s struggling. Notice Gemma - the same fans that you’re ignoring are the ones you’re flogging your spam of ads to this week?

I actually like the gym sets she has just posted, but I won’t be clicking on her link, and I’ll wait a couple of weeks before buying them so the company don’t associate my purchase with success of her ad 😂 I always support influencers by clicking on there links where I can… but she literally doesn’t give a shit about the people who support her. RANT OVER.

No wonder Gemma loves the winter so much she can sit in her house all day with the heating on. Wearing her cozy clothes and cozy slippers. Watching Christmas films all day, drinking endless cups of tea and having endless hot haths and never leavthe house.
Can’t imagine her defrosting her car at 7.30am and driving home at 6pm in the dark and rain after a full day at work. And then worrying about if she can afford to put the heating on when she gets home.

Some people actual enjoy summer and leaving their houses and spending time outside in warm daylight.

August is not Autumn

And so it begins. The complaining of sickness✔ Asking for recommendations for baby clothing companies (hinting so companies send her stuff for free)✔ Naked photoshoot with partner cradling bump (coming soon) The most traumatic birth followed by the most perfect baby who sleeps through the night and never cries (coming soon) Influencers are the most attention seeking, manipulative, greedy people on the planet. Gemma should count herself lucky that while she’s sitting in bed at 11am complaining about all her ‘symptoms’ the average pregnant person would be at work at this point in their pregnancy and having to just get on with it. I don’t understand why some people have to act like they deserve a medal for being pregnant. I didn’t have an easy time at all but my partner said I never complained once. I worked right up until I had my baby and bought everything myself. I’d have more respect for the girl if she was honest about her situation and instead of complaining acknowledged how lucky she is because a lot of women would give anything to be in her position right now

Her autumn content is so underwhelming and I can’t help but feel the hushed and slow, drawn out voice she does in her most recent video just rubbed me the wrong way and I can’t exactly explain why and I don’t know why this video in particular has bothered me. It just feels too dream like, too fake and I just don’t know. For someone who is supposed to be best known for her autumn content it’s so crap and it’s the same nonsense she put out last year, her vlogs have been almost as boring as the shite Lydia Millen puts out and by the end of it I was just thinking I’m over this type of content all the youtubers do the same boring routines with the same interior and same decor and I’ve just had enough. There’s no colour, no personality, it’s robotic and repetitive and I feel drained from watching it. Her old vlogs were actually more relatable and comfy and felt like you could DIY anything she did and it just felt like that content was more genuine as nowadays it’s like she only puts out content if a brand has given her a discount code, it just feels like a long drawn out ad.

I’m just generally fed up with the content on YouTube and generally pissed off with the entire influencer thing and wish they’d all just piss off tbh. If I’m honest I am a little bit jealous of the fact they get nice things that they don’t actually work for and have big companies throwing money and freebies at them when you yourself have to budget and restrict yourself and a lot of the time have actually spent lots of money on those brands over the years when she’s making 100k a year and still getting tonnes of handouts.

I just want relatable or actually interesting content. She asked for suggestions on her Instagram for video content ideas yet seemingly she hasn’t been taking advice because it’s literally the same drivel as last year and what she puts out all year long. For once I would’ve liked to have seen fun orange and copper and red autumn decorations and Maybe a Halloween theme going on as she now has a little boy who should really be surrounded in loud, fun colours. I’m so over this off white and neutral boring interiors that everyone has and I’m over the luxurious night routines. Gemma’s content and personality is the shade grey and I don’t get it because with all that money and all that advertising and codes you’d think she’d actually go somewhere or develop a new hobby or make new friends to blog with. There’s just no real content and I don’t know how she thinks vlogging in her bland, beige, new build prison and baby talking at Noah and het cats qualifies as actual autumn cosy content. Where are all her friends gone? What happened between her and all her YouTube friends? Where is glam, loud, ditsy, fun Gemma?

she used to have actually good content that was better then all the other “cosy”youtubers and she used to be the one (I think) who set the autumn cosy trend especially amongst the English youtubers.
Sorry rant over.

I can’t help but relate to the past few comments on this thread. Jamie is not the person who he portrays on Gemma’s channel. Red flags from the start.
The best friend- isolate from friends and family =
The reason why Sophie went MIA is the reason why she unfollowed Jamie on Instagram. I strongly believe he mistreated Gemma in a way which Sophie couldn’t forgive.
The house move- restrict Gemma from being near close ones=
Moving to a new build in the middle of nowhere away from all her family and friends so that he can control her every move.
Image change- Gemma has withdrawn herself =
No more dressing up, revealing lounge wear ads, no make up, no dresses, no nights out, dinners, drinks with friends. Always at home wearing pyjama's with Jamie.
Word of mouth on this platform which has been mentioned numerous amounts of times is that Jamie’s reputation in the town he lives in is bad, all from previous relationships he has had. Narcissistic and abusive. Gemmas a shell of who she used to be; and my reasoning behind this points the finger at one person. Jamie.

‘A little surprise’ well I imagine it’s quite big as you’re 5 months pregnant. Announcing on New Year’s Day just like Elle, the both copy eachother in everything they do, they’re the most beige people I’ve ever seen. Not an original idea between them. Btw if you are all bored on this thread the Elle darby thread is kicking off with Connor’s cheating scandals

I really think people push the Jamie is abusive angle hard with little evidence. Gemma could be isolating herself cause of covid fears for the baby. Pregnant women are the highest risk factor groups. Is she vaccinated? Do we even know.
To be fair many of us can smell a narcissist from miles away. He reeks of it. He literally makes my stomach turn. He is bad, bad news. There is a certain light about Gemma that has dimmed, and not in a maturing type of way but they way people do when they are slowing being suffocated from all the things that breathe life and joy into their soul. Does anyone remember when her and Sophie used to sing Mulan and dance around? She is a completely different person now. I noticed a change in her demeanor a bit before Jamie was ever even on the channel. Someone commented on Gemma’s most recent video about how the way Jaime holds her is a sign of true intense love or whatever, what it actually is, is the sign of a very adept narcissist who knows he is on camera being aggressively affectionate because he knows that people are up to his bull. Notice how aggressively he looks at her making sure she looks at him. Notice how a lot of the time when he goes to hug her or hold her on camer he looks at himself in the view finder to assess how he will be perceived. Notice how his voice and infliction changes from “casual Jamie” to “boyfriend Jamie” an act of power and manipulation and he knows that Gemma is too proud to admit that she is wrong or that her life is not all manifested perfection. It’s especially tough when you are carrying the child of someone who treats you like that. It’s almost like your brain is in denial to protect itself. In my opinion, Jaimie is controlling and deceptive and is only with Gemma for the money, attention, social status, power, and possibly boost his own self esteem. I say this as someone who had spent my childhood and adulthood with many different narcissistic people in my life. Only people have experience with narcissists will understand and recognize them. That is why these kinds of situations are so dangerous and hard to identify, the people who don’t recognize manipulators and narcissists, are the ones who only see what the manipulator intends for people to see, “the act”, and when they become victims it is of no fault of their own because who wouldn't want to date someone who is loving and charismatic? But that is all they have to offer. Nice words from a nice package. But what does Jaimie actually do for Gemma besides aggressively hug Gemma on camera? I know we don’t get to see behind the scenes, but you know Gemma would be gushing about all the wonderful things Jaimie has done for her or brings to her life if he did. And I guarantee he reads here which is why he has been extra aggressively lovey dovey so much so that’s it’s a little awkward. His goal isn’t to make sure his partner feels loved and safe, it’s to make sure he is doing exactly all the that he is supposed to be doing to be perceived how he desire. It’s all about him, it’s always all about them and it always will be. Yea Jamie you are good at giving out hugs and saying nice things, but what else do you bring to the table?



The Narcissist Prayer/Mantra
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

I think if you've never had filler in your lips, you'd probably be fine. But if you've had filler AND your lips swell in pregnancy, they're going to end up massive! Charlotte Crosby photo for reference, but won't mention her again and derail the thread 😂

Does this mean that we actually get the name? I'm shocked!

View attachment 1339581
I think people are past the point of caring now - two weeks ago tomorrow she gave birth, we all know his name is Noah, just post your pic with him & his name and go. Does my head in when influencers withhold their names and are like 'it's private' when they've exploited their whole pregnancy for content. You can't pick and choose when we are your 'best friends' Gemma.
