Really feel bad for this one, she looks worse every time I see her, worry for young girls following her, would honestly hate my daughter to look up to her thankfully she's not old enough yet, she is so unattractive now, her eyebrows too are so masculine on her, Rob is average enough I think, he looks 50 really sun damaged and aged looking I think, but she looks 50 too, how has it taken her so long to do pharmacy she is 27 isn't she? Must have went back as mature student? Did she do it up north? Pharmacy and medicine much more attainable and average up north, you don't have to get 600 points to do it, total different system in the Northern Ireland, alot of people do pharmacy up there, I hope she starts to relax and enjoy her time in oz now, and starts to look after her body.....


Unfortunately I see women in my job with eating disorders and you can survive a pretty long time...like decades.....being dangerously underweight and undernourished with an eating disorder and excessive exercise you'd be shocked how much our bodies can take a battering, just because she is fully functioning/exercising and not fainting or lying in bed all day doesn't mean she is healthy, it will be years before full affects set in, you can see alot of the subtle signs there, look at alcoholism for example you can abuse your liver for 20/30 years before having established liver disease or failure.....

God, I feel sorry for your young daughter if she’s looking up to you and the way you just picked two people apart for their looks. And then continued on to try to detract from Jess doing pharmacy by suggesting she took an easy route in??

NOBODY GIVES A BOLLIX ABOUT MEGAN MARKLE OR ABOUT WHO DOES/DOESNT LIKE HER

There is nothing more disgusting than a woman wearing fucking sweaty black tights in spring or summer especially at your first day of work you'd be a bit hot and bothered with nerves as it is
Honestly turns my stomach
Dunno how girls don't get thrush going around in thick black tights in April and imagine the sweaty toes on her in the boots knocks me sick
She is easily the worst dressed woman of her age and size I've ever seen
She's so tacky

OK but... we live in Ireland, hardly tropical weather. I wear black tights with dresses to work all the time (as I don't want bare legs in the office!) and I've never felt sweaty in them?! Can't believe I've been turning people stomachs this whole time

Not so sure it's great news, a baby would really be a shock to this pair. She'd have to stop going here there and everywhere and he'd have to spend time with her. Actually it's more likely her mother will move in "to help".

Would expect a comment about a baby not being great news on perhaps Siobhan O Hagans thread after her getting pregnant from a one night stand after preaching all these years about not wanting kids, but think it’s a bit embittered to say it in regards to a seemingly happily married couple with a stable home and income who could give a baby a great life. And they’ve clearly been longing for a baby given the we’ve been praying for you caption. Let them have their moment.

As someone currently in recovery.. I agree 100% that she is sadly suffering. I lost my period 4 years ago, found size 4 clothes at times too big and yet it took me seeing a photo of myself to realise how sick I was. She will no doubt be in total denial and despite acknowledging publicly she has suffered disordered eating is clearly very much in the midst of it. It’s a horrific illness and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Just to add.. I had to stop following her for awhile when she was quarantined in Australia because the excessive room workouts were incredibly triggering for me. I felt so guilty that I was free to do as I please and wasn’t working out half as much.

I think she is an absolute fucking dose. The carry on of her in quarantine, running laps around the room like something out of looney toons. I genuinely don’t think she’s well? And her figure is the result of extreme restriction. It’s not enviable in the least and I actually don’t think it even suits her. She looks awful imo. And don’t even get me started on her purer than pure faux personality. Learning a new topic everyday and French on the side as a hobby oh please piss off

Imagine staying in a hotel room, in quarantine and her running kilometres around the room above you. I'd go absolutely mad.

I could think of better things to be doing alone in a hotel room with Rob Kearney than running around like Mo bleedin Farrah

Title suggestion:
Pampered princess works a day, then needs to book a trip away. She preaches what she does not know to make her giant cash pile grow.

Sadly everyone won’t be ok. With reports of 60 people having covid, you’d expect some will need extra care or longer term care. Hopefully they’ll recover ok. I definitely agree everyone had a choice to attend/personal responsibility but also you feel you have to attend for close friends of family. We were at a wedding in the Summer. Distancing went well til after the meal when people were tipsy and couldn’t keep they’re distance. We left at that stage. I’m sure with the addition of music and 2 additional nights, it increased the risk.

At the rate we are going everyone is going to test positive at some stage. I would rather get it after an event like a wedding where I've had fun and celebrated a couple rather than living under a rock and possibly picking it up in tesco doing a food shop!
Hopefully none of the people will need extra care and all will recover safely.
Agree with people saying Jess shouldn't feel bad. A wedding invite is just that, an invitation, not a summons. If people were scared they could've said no.

There you go, trump doonbeg obviously meant a lot to her. You can’t knock her for that. So sad but so lovely

Jesus Jess is much more of a positive influence than I could ever imagine someone like you being! She did a degree in psychology and then went back to do pharmacy in the royal college of surgeons. She or I or anyone could be doing a fetac level 5 and who are you to patronise and belittle them.

Well fair play to Jess redden I have to say. Not a peep out of her all day. Enjoying the moments with her family and close friends. And another thing, : there is no big show of the flash rugby gang there either. No flash, no fuss. Completely unlike the tack of Niamh de brun and TJ Reid in Adare manor. The new
Kearney family, that is a
Class act

Maybe it’s a bit unfair, but I personally find it wholly unethical and irresponsible for a clearly unnaturally underweight person to be promoting clothing and wellness and shopping her gym workouts and food obsessions all over instagram as if it’s aspirational. She’s cashing in on being an “influencer” while she flaunts her rib cage and dangerously tiny limbs all over the place. Who’s likely to be influenced by this? Young impressionable women who thinks she’s a role model because she’s married to a rugby player and lives a lavish lifestyle. I was one of those once and I couldn’t call out the Kate Moss heroin chic posters of my day because I thought that was what I was “supposed” to look like. And I’ve had an eating disorder. And others on this thread who’ve also had eating issues have cited how triggering she is. So ya, gonna call out the toxic behaviour as long as I see it.

I feel the same. I base it on how gross I feel in tights even in winter after a long day on the go. The feet parts HONK and the crotch bits are just so scratchy by the end of the day.

I think people need to invest in better tights

It's absolutely lashing in Cork today. So dark, it's like the middle of winter. You better believe I have black tights on. Most irish women wear them for 9 months of the year! You need to get a life if you're that upset about other people's hosiery.

Even if so, would her mum not be like ‘go enjoy your night with your fiance’ - there’s being close with your mum and then there’s this level of codependency which doesn’t bode well for someone who is supposed to be a functioning adult?

Maybe she does 6 nights out of 7! People are acting like she tags along to everything they do which is not what I see from what she shows. Yes Jess herself spends a lot of time with her Mam by herself - so what? Maybe it’s something people who aren’t close to their parents find hard to understand? I would regularly meet my folks for drinks and go away with them, maybe I’m fortunate my husband enjoys spending time with them? Not all the time, we have a good balance but Jesus when did enjoying your parents company go out of fashion? I also can’t bare to think about what if something happened to one of them and one is left behind, it must be difficult for the daughters to navigate their own grief and worry about their Mam.

Also I really find the concern and sympathy for Rob Kearney amusing. He’s a very successful professional athlete and businessman. He hasn’t gotten this far in life by being a walk over. Anytime I’ve heard him speak he seems like a family man with a good background, even moreso when speaking about the loss of his brother, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing and is well able advocate for himself.

Anyway I think this type of post (mine!) is futile on these threads because people with a dislike for someone have a narrative and won’t stray from it and inevitably I’ll be told I must be Jess or someone she knows. I just think a lot of what is said about Jess is so cruel and unecessary (don’t even start me on the comments on her looks - I really think people who comment on anyone’s looks are arseholes and need to cop the F on). She’s not out there robbing banks like, she is harmless. By the way you can’t be crying worry and concern for the “young impressionable girls” out (as I’ve seen soooooooo many on this thread with their ridiculous faux concern) there while simultaneously ripping a young girl to shreds - the irony.

She has a bloody lot of time on her hands doesn't she, with the gyming and baking and brunches and wine evenings with friends. All these instahuns seem to do is sit around pontificating on "self-care" and "Be kind" while writing in their wellness journals. Do any of them understand what it's like to work 50 hours a week in a high stress job while upskilling during their spare hours and taking care of a family and running a household on the side?

I don't get why followers are asking her for recipes for rocky road, scones, birthday cake... and I mean that separately to her ED issues. In general why ask a student pharmacist for baking recipes easily found on Google. She is not Delia Smith. Bizarre

Also this is a real pet peeve of mine and something loads of people do, not just Jess, after they've lived abroad for a while- going on like they have experienced nirvana outside of little old backwards Ireland. She mentions the fusion of flavours in Australia, the coffee the other day. I lived in Australia for 6 years, travelled in Asia and South America on way there and way back, and yes eating out scene was fantastic and Melbourne famous for coffee but come on, not like you can't get a decent coffee here and we're not all here eating bacon and cabbage.

I don't find it strange in the slightest that she's spending it in a hotel with her mum. A year into grief is no time at all, trust me. She was probably worried about her mum and wanted to be there for and I'm sure he didn't care in the slightest. Also many people spend their Christmas in hotels - single people, older people, people who don't have family around. If it's not for you then that's great, count your blessings.

Jesus will ye relax, im inpartial to her generally. They took bobby with them and god knows only for an hour. Before baby was born ye were saying she wouldnt have time to post and laughing at that and then when she does update ye ye are giving out about too much time on phone. Some people saying ye were surprised at the baby name, like i mean i dont think she really cares what random strangers think.
She was out and about on a walk yesterday, looked brilliant, happy , dressed down in baggy clothes. Passed by her. She is a breath of fresh air compared to some insta mums. Give her a chance, she is only 30 and doing her best.
i was on fence for a while about her but she is quite open and honest about her journey.

Can we all just agree that it was the boobs and knee high boots that was inappropriate for work and leave #blacktightgate behind
