I unfollowed muf way back when she was exposed during the bloggers unveiled saga. Clicked on to her story today. Is she still saying that she doesn't get lip filler? Does she think people are stupid

She's bonkers but I do feel kind of sorry for her. Her life lacks any meaning or purpose. Like what the hell does she do? Who are are her target audience.

Target audience; choose one of:
Make-up folks who don’t mind watching make-up tutorials through beige filters?
Tourists who have already googled where to go and don’t need advice?
Fitness folk who then realise that it isn’t really a fitness page anymore, but wait, aren’t “mom” trainers fitnessy?
Fast fashionistas looking to raise their carbon footprint?
Disappointed affiliate-linkers who can never find the right size shown?
People who like bags on rocks/dirty passenger seats?
Nettle-pesto enthusiasts?
Baby puke-coloured sofa lovers?
Amateur kayakers?
Dog lovers who let their dogs annoy cattle?
Body positivity folks who don’t mind photoshop?
People who don’t know that the Arctic expedition was a holiday to Northern Finland with only one night outside?
People who want to listen to the number one podcast about strange relationships?

Essentially a hodge-podge of absolute shite

"Hold on for the fairytale ladies"
I must have missed the Disney animation when Urusla photoshopped herself to be the size of the little mermaid and then goes on to marry LeFou the bumbling sidekick who was actually in love with Gaston.

This quote from her made me sick - its so reductive. All women are just holding their breath in life, waiting to get engaged. Thats it, no other interests, achievements matter - we are all just waiting for someone to marry us. Fuck off. As alternative as she likes to make out she is, she is a conventional as they come. Not an independent thought in her head.

and now posting again about how “empowered women empower women”
Let me be clear - we are all empowered here to speak our minds and bring the truth to light, even if there’s some gossip on the way. It’s human nature. She is not empowering anyone but herself and those who give her freebies or cash.

let’s summarize Larbys business ventures:

-fairy tales book: hyper edited photos of her, in bargain bins for a fiver less than a year after it came out

-fairy flutters lashes: never came to be

-“meet ups” featuring bloggers du jour: 2014 was a weird time. I think all the bloggers made cash money from these daylight bank robberies of preteen girls

-makeup brushes in a giant gold star: these were apparently “limited edition” and also were in bargain bins in pharmacies within a few months. She doesn’t even use them herself. she claimed they were vegan and PETA friendly which were falsified claims.

-glamfam cosmetics: total flop, now in larbys giveaways

-larby fit: months of hype and “I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on” but yet another flop

-MUFfy/larby blog: a curated collection of affiliate links. Does she even still post?

-YouTube: she actually used to post legit makeup tutorials and probably made some cash flow. Social blade says she makes peanuts from YouTube now.

-Kerrigans food line: low fat burgers and meat products during her extreme fitness days, marketed at the same time she claimed her makeup brushes to be vegan.

-depop: reselling clothes that she bought or was gifted, and selling them without the tags. She was accused of selling things at the wrong size (to make it appear that she’s smaller) and then laundry tags revealed the clothes were a larger size. Also found to be selling Penney’s clothes without saying they were from Penney’s. Buyers should have been cautious but she’s a dupe herself

-the other side of perfect website: honestly who would pay even a euro for her advice and recipes is beyond me. The website still exists but I don’t know if it’s functional. It definitely seems like a rip off of Replenish minus the mental health resource, as TOSOP seems to be about a “wellness” community (when larby was always about fitness and designer crap)

-podcast: never listened to it myself but seems she had some success and that she’s dropped it now? No one makes $ from podcasts though.

I’m sure she’s making $ from her Instagram ads and affiliate links but who even clicks on her page with an engagement of 1%??

I have in mind several of her personal blunders but I’m going to keep them to myself for now

The Guardian did an article with Laura Whitmore talking about be kind bollix, Brenda had something to say in the comment…

What about individuals who pretend to be solicitors and send harassment to their former friends ? Or individuals who allude to their ex boyfriend being abusive without a single shred of proof, allowing her "fans" to send the ex abuse until he has to come on and defend himself? What about individuals who give constant advice on things they've no experience of ? Or sell their clothes on depop listed as the wrong size? Photoshop themselves beyond recognition and post the photos for vulnerable people to think is normal ? Pretends to Collab with companies? Has multiple fake accounts to comment on her Instagram to inflate the interaction levels ?

Is all that okay Brenda or is it exclusively tattle life posters who need to be taken down ?

It’s my birthday today, can’t exactly go out and do anything but Joanne is the gift that keeps on giving

One of these is realistic.

No wonder she’s exiled herself to west cork. She can completely control the view of herself. Quite surprised she even reposted that video. Her face is an entirely different shape. Oh Not about shoes and handbags but oh here’s a picture of my designer handbag on a rock, or a picture of my YSL bag next to my merc steering wheel.

I think the issue with Joanne is that for whatever reason (childhood trauma, poor parenting, abandonment) she hasnt formed any true identity of her own.

She has little internal self worth or what’s known as an internal locus of evaluation. What that means in practice is that she only derives a sense of worth from the admiration of others. This is why she is so chameleon like, one boyfriend is a trainer so her identity forms around fitness and her body, the new fella is a vegan and likes the quiet life so now she is plant based and living the simple life while still posting pics of leather bags on a cheap merc.

The reason it grates so much is that it’s incongruent and inauthentic, it’s not the real her because frankly there is no real her, just whatever she thinks will get her the approval of others.

Same reason why she talks body neutrality and being comfortable with her self regardless of what she looks like while filling her house with images of the naked female body and, as we can see from that video, photoshopping herself beyond recognition. Both body neutrality and presenting a idealised image are attempts to gain approval from others but they are in conflict with each other and because she has no real ‘anchor’ in terms of how she perceives herself she veers wildly between the two based on whatever she thinks will make others admire her at the time

This is quite common in teenagers before your identity is fully formed but in a 30 something woman it’s unusual and she would benefit from long term counselling to try and connect her to herself and form her own self of values without relying on the opinions of others. I would also say that social media is a very dangerous career choice for someone who bases their self worth on the response of other people.

J Alexander is the best bit of the whole thing. I wonder if the VP is noted fashion photographer, Mr. Nigel Barker.

Jo Jo does realise that's not his first word right, it's his first sound?! That's just baby babble. Repetitive sounds babies make over and over. They normally say their first word around 9 months old.

But this is not any old baby, this is Joanne Larby’s baby. He’s got his driving test next week.

Has anyone read the drivel she just mentioned on her story about not praising children.

She is such a dose of shite! If she was still with Paul, River would be called Paul Jnr, wearing neon work out gear, eating Turkey burgers and drinking out of a dumbbell shaped bottle.

Again insinuating that she manifested her baby .... Ignorance beyond belief

Manifestation is bollocks but it's still more believable than JoJo and Topknot having a sexual relationship tbh

Fair play to anyone who breastfeeds. I didn’t because formulas are just as good and don’t want a baby constantly hanging off me and worrying about expressing etc.
anyway, watch this space, her whole page will be based on how superior she is because she is breastfeeding

Click to expand...

I think that's a flippant comment to make and undermines any mother that has breastfed. Breast milk is literally custom made nutrition for your baby and contains so many antibodies...let's just say it like it is but formula is a great alternative. If it was equally as good then why would any woman breastfeed? I'm sure I'll piss alot of people off with this comment but

looks familiar

This has made my day

before I start lemme just say I can’t help but follow her even though she torments me

I) you’re not a tour guide. You visited West Cork,stayed in west cork and now you live in West Cork. Mind you, you moved down just before lockdown. Shut up on about it. Yes it’s a beautiful places. I’ve been to Dublin and I’ve lived in Dublin, I don’t harp on about it ALLL THE TIME.

2) for the love of god stop taking photos of the dog. Yes it’s beautiful but we’ve seen enough.

3) I’ve said this before- stop cutting out half your body in pictures you mad yoke. You’re not fooling anyone.

4) shut up about being ‘happy’ with your body. You’re not. You’re not happy. If you were happy then you wouldn’t photoshop EVERY single picture.

5) I’ve also said this before-you rent your home. It’s a beautiful home and was before you moved in. Adding lamps and books and mirrors and whatever else does not make you an interior designer. It just doesn’t.

6) no one trusts your recommendations. You’re gasping for a colab and will do it with anyone about anything. Do you not have a backbone?

7) if you’re all about vegetarianism or veganism or whatever you are into this week, please explain how you like to purchase bags made from (for example) calfskin?

8) if you are all about ‘style and sustainability’ then why do you have a new dress on everyday, new bits from different shops. Pick a side for gods sake. You can’t be all for sustainable shopping and then be buying/accepting items that aren’t from sustainable brands.

9) just stop. Stop with all of the lies. The cover ups, the fake ness Joanne. You must be exhausted from it all. You can’t be happy having to lie and change yourself, your body. Just bloody stop.

I saw you in Cork yesterday. Briefly but I saw you.
You are not the person you portray on your social media. You are physically a different person. And that makes you a liar.

I also forgot to add..... shame on Red FM for having her on as a local hero. You’re not local and you’re not a hero. You’ve done nothing to help or aid the community. She’s a self obsessed, deceitful individual.

I really find people showing off their presents on the internet very vulgar, especially designer shoes/ bags etc. I would never begrudge anyone anything and everyone is entitled to spend their money in whatever way they wish, but I just find showing off the brown Thomas boxes/ bags etc very showy and childish. She is the adult equivalent of “#boydonegood” posts.

I wonder has she found out yet that Adam proposed to someone else on the beach for Christmas?

Jesus ye are so negative.
Not one positive comment congratulating Joey on the fabulous jawline she sculpted for herself? We see her chin for the first time in weeks and all ye can do is complain about the length of her dog-shit coloured fleece? I despair of ye.

Let’s give this girl the love she deserves
