I spoke about this on the Jess Redden thread - I highly encourage messaging hotels and businesses that giving freebies to insta huns only alienates actual average, paying customers. I now regularly message hotels and businesses who use influencers as a marketing strategy to tell them that they have lost my future business as a result. I quite like Louise but she was fairly het up yesterday on her stories because she knew it was brazen.

I'm a Corkonian (clock the name) and I have stayed in the Kingsley previously. It would take me two working days to afford an average room there, after tax. That's a lot of money! It really boils my piss to see these ones being given a free stay with absolutely no such luck for the average Joe Soap. Irish Hospitality is amongst the lowest paid sector for workers and they have absolutely ripped the piss with prices since Covid.

She just posted another one and said she was bitter and someone commented "I just don’t think it’s a reasonable response. Either accept yourself as you are or work to get thin. Getting angry at thin women is problematic" is this person on thus forum 😂😂

My sister is a size 8 and obsessive about her weight. I'm a size 18. I'm not happy about it, she sure as hell doesn't seem happy about her size either. But when she stands there in a tiny dress in a shop that doesn't even stock my size and pokes at her non existent tummy and tells me she looks huge, that is hurtful to me.
Its about knowing your audience. She can say 'do I look good in this dress?' rather than 'does this dress make me look fat?'.
When my five year old says I have a fat tummy I don't go "I do, don't I? I hate it..." I say "We all have different size tummies and I love my tummy because it gave me you!" she doesn't need to know my real feelings about it because they might have an impact on her opinions of herself. Simples.

Jesus I'm a nurse and have had a hellish time and I still don't begrudge people expressing their Covd burnout. You never know what's going on in peoples families, there are Delta hotspots all over.

And even without that, I still absolutely loathe having to wear masks in shops. Even though I have to wear an FFP3 in work. But I accept that, in a way I can't in a shop. I was in Dunnes earlier and just had a moment of pure rage wanting to rip the thing off and have a normal browse without shit smothering me!

Lets not gatekeep Covid frustration. Covid doesn't care who we are, after all.

Being so hungover that you don’t know where you left your car is probably a good indicator that you shouldn’t have driven 💀💀💀

I have a neurodivergent kid and whilst I love the bones of him, I'd be absolutely lying if I said I never regretted my decision to have him. Its like living with Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll is a sweet little delight, Hyde is just mean and cold and aggressive. There are terrible meltdowns, where you just feel assaulted and you want to run out of the house but of course you can't. I'm still shaken from a particularly terrible bathtime last night that escalated out of nowhere. I just wanted to run far far away.

But I would NEVER articulate it. You can never ever let them know that their existence can be burdensome. It's not fair. They're only kids. And kids change - Hyde may weaken, and Jekyll may strengthen. We may decide to use medication one day that minimises Hyde enormously. Would it be fair then, to speak publicly about Hyde, and by doing so immortalise him like a fly trapped in amber so that when the kid becomes an adult and reads it he is confronted by how much of a terrible kid he once was? Or worse, to read or listen to his mother saying that sometimes she regrets having kids at all?

How might that effect their self esteem? Or their relationship with their mother upon learning of it?

There is a reason rides have weight restrictions just like they have height restrictions. It’s for safety. I don’t care if that offends her. Peoples Safety trumps her fragile ego

Louise needs to stop trying to control whatever everyone else is saying and just get on with her own life.

She defines herself by her weight. No one else.


people can say what they want about their own bodies. If Louise makes that about her then that’s her issue, not theirs.

I think if she was a straight up beauty blogger and not a talented DJ, cancer survivor, body positivity activist then those ‘OMG state of her brows’ comments might not seem so petty. I just think there’s more to discuss. She’s edgy, I think they suit her. Others think she should brush them down and get veneers. 🤷🏻‍♀️
There’s plenty about her content that is controversial and she’s not perfect but as the poster above said she is a bit of a breath of fresh air and does keep things very real. Slagging her teeth was mean in my opinion. If you look at her page she doesn’t actually ever show them. You can barely even see them when she talks on stories. It’s quite obviously an insecurity and fair play for getting them sorted.

When I used to listen to her podcast she did an ad for national bike week and admitted in the ad that she didn't own a bicycle!
That's what I mean about these geebags. They promote shite they don't use, have never used, and have no idea about. All for the wonga.

What annoys me about Ms. Louise I'm so woke I never sleep Sharry is that she screams integrity, ethics, honesty - all that bollix....and there she is promoting football. Pretty sure Captain Eyebrows couldn't tell the difference between a football, a basketball or a ping pong bleedin ball!

It’s a circular argument though, why shouldn’t you (one) have access to nice clothes “while you’re bigger” ….if indeed it’s transient, which seems the only palatable way to view it for many people (which is fat phobic).

And the point framing all that is the tokenism and fetishism of using fat models but the clothes not actually being available to buy.

So it is about brands not wanting to see fat bodies in their clothes which is fat phobic. It just is. You (generic) may sympathetise with that, but Louise isn’t wrong in what she’s saying. It’s one of her cause celebre so she’ll never move on from it on her own channel. She enjoys clothes.

Spare me the whole "driving an electric car is better for my mind". Most people dont have the luxury of just getting an electric car for free. Buying a new car is a big purchase and it feels like she is guilting people who drive petrol.
That pissed me off a bit this morning.


"Oh I'm in my electric cars while truck drivers are protesting the price of diesel, the irony!"


If only hauliers could power their vehicles from the same sense of self satisfaction McSharry has the world would just be daisy chains and rainbows.


That was very tone deaf of her this morning.

Poor Louise isn't happy about the messages she received..

Not one blagger ever takes the comments and self reflects ... its always troll or rude or you be blocked ...
How about taking responsibility for your greedy entitled behaviour..

Go and cry in your free car after your free spa break and put your free skincare on and free make up on and cop on to yourself

I think she meant that like everyone else who got vaccines/appointments she can’t believe how wild it feels, not that she got it like everyone else? Anyway I still can’t get over her blatant refusal to admit the *researched medical fact* that she is at more risk due to her size..I feel like she’d lay into a doctor who suggested she loses weight😬
Ps, I’m a bit overweight myself so understand the struggle! It would be tough to hear if I was in that category but I’d bloody get the vaccine in a heartbeat!
I hate this fat and proud shit.

no one fat is comfortable.

I’m about 5 stone overweight and I’ve struggled with disordered eating and my weight ALL my life.

there is nothing BOPO about crying in a sweat in a dressing room because the jeans you thought were massive on the hanger won’t come past your knees.

nothing glam about bleeding from chub rub-because you wanted to wear a dress without cycling short knickers on underneath.

She flew from Dublin to Kerry! If that was some other influencer she would be giving out about the environmental impact of that flight.

She picks and choses her causes thats for sure!

I think there’s a horrible trend with these influencer/instagrammers of oversharing their kids every emotion and displaying their own resentment and almost dismay, as if they have no agency in what is going on - and all to try to be relatable. Caroline Foran, Kate Lawlor, another two examples. They think everyone else feels the same and thinks like them. We don't. Single parent here of child with complex needs, whenever I had a bad day I reminded myself I was sleeping in a bed that night and not a hospital chair. Thankful for every inch of my child and all the joy that has been brought to me as well as the immense change - motherhood changed me, my outlook, my personality, my career in ways I would never have foreseen and I”m so thankful for having the perspecive of gratitude, humility and empathy it has given me. Louise is missing out big time.
