I think it’s truly awful what Rachel has been through and my heart goes out to her, Daniel and the kids. I too followed her from the start. What I say is meant in a respectful way. Her story started as a very tragic story, but it has changed into a more celebrity chasing business. Obviously she needs to provide for herself and her kids it goes without saying but it’s been the manner in which it was done. Even at the start, it came across to me and it seems others that she was more sharing the story out of fame than creating awareness. She quickly had an agency behind her. Seemed unusual. She never replied to any of the genuine messages people sent. She says she received messages of people telling her to kill herself or whatever but said she never saved them as proof. If it’s true and someone sent her those awful messages about dying it’s wrong. But it was the constant crying into the phone the constant sympathy. She could see it was growing her followers so it became all the more constant. And the constant opportunity to cash in. Pictures of Daniel, pictures of grief, dressing gown on, grasping the chain of Daniel while crying, then swipe up. It just seemed so staged, so unusual, so unauthentic and it was all too frequent like you could smell an ad coming a mile off. She seemed to only engage with a handful of people that had her in the stitches or sent her freebies but neglected people who reached out to her who experienced similar loss. Why? They offered her nothing in terms of monetary value. And then she would say oh I’ve replied to all my messages on Instagram. Very strange. It is great she did the charity work, but was it planned to further her career. She has an agency looking after her now and she has got the fame she so truly craved. How many times did she keep saying she would love to get on the late late. Why? Was it to raise awareness of his illness or to raise awareness of her? For me it seemed to be all about her and her insta fame and little about raising awareness of his illness. The timing of the charity event was perfect just before the call from Late Late arrived. I truely feel sorry for what she went through but it comes across like she was dealt this horrible life changing situation with her husband, yet could see it was the fuel for fame and the opportunity to become insta famous. She was like the cat that got the cream when she went to bPurrfect Belfast. Plus she has been caught out on her lying a few too many times so she has lost trust and lost credibility. But does it matter? No because the swipe ups, the freebies, the collabs still roll in and she is still relevant. Instagram and her 200k followers are almost everything she has dreamed o career wise. She is definitely caught in the celebrity headlights way too much. I miss Rachel home decor. She could have been famous on the back of that but no it’s not enough fame for her. Instead she’s famous for losing her husband in such tragic circumstances, and it’s her constant use of him to sell cheap tack and forward her career that has been done in such bad taste, and in a disrespectful way to Daniel and his family. May he rip.

Rachel hi. I am still disapointed in you. Yes you apologised. No we dont want blood. Please understand as frontline staff, there is no other line of defence. It is now down to the community to protect each other. We are overworked, underpaid and at breaking point. Should you find yourself in A&e it will not be your tan, it will not be Brendan, ot will not be Denise that saves you it will be the nurse in full PPE gear. How about you make a donation to your local hospital? Do something good with your platform. Cleaning under your sink/fridge does not make you a role model. Make something of your life darling. Be someone your girls look up to.

Here is another message that was sent to her the person unfollowed her after she sent it so she wouldn’t keep her numbers up and i know the person who sent it she was blocked immediately so looks like she’s living on her phone all day 😆.

Rachel was a nobody before her husband got terminally ill with cancer. She has used public sympathy to garner fame and Instagram followers. She yoyos between selling absolutely everything and crying crocodile tears when she's called out. Loads of people have messaged her very supportive messages and she has ignored them. She reads and blocks messages that she calls TROLLING. Theses messages are mostly people who think she shouldn't be so public about everything. She shares and responds to any message sent for a z list Irish celebrity. She went to Belfast for a bperfect event on Daniel's six month anniversary. Every covid restriction rule was broken. No social distancing or masks. She hiding and blocking people since but we are expecting a tearful and self indulgent comeback very soon. Unfortunately everyone has a tragic story. She is cashing in on hers unashamedly.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. I too like many others presumed that the mortgage was cleared when Daniel passed as would be the case in these dreadful situations.
Firstly let me note that I’ve worked in Banking my entire career so mortgages and life cover are part of my every day.
On either a Q&A or live chat a number of months back someone referred to the mortgage situation and Rachel advised that they had no mortgage as they hadn’t yet taken one out at the time of Daniel’s diagnosis, I know well from work they wouldn’t have got one post his illness because as previously noted life cover would’ve been required which would now not be possible.
For anyone thinking it’s unusual to have started a build without a mortgage it absolutely is not, especially in a case like this where they had significant funds from the sale of the first house.
Rachel shared their first home a while back, it was a really nice family bungalow, which she noted they made a very good profit on the sale. She has also noted that they lived with her in-laws when building and the site they’ve built on was family owned.
Also it would appear that Daniel and his father did a lot of the work on the house which also saves a fortune. All of these factors would save tens of thousands when building.

So in this case it appears that this couple like so many others used the funds from the sale of their first home to build this one, this is completely the norm. To add insult to injury the poor man was diagnosed before the mortgage had been applied for, which is just horrendous.

Also it’s important to note that in that she also stated that many had asked about setting up a ‘go fund me’ for her but she was at pains to say no. And referred to a previous one which had been closed. I remember looking it up and think it was about 30K.
For people still wondering as to how they managed to finish the house, perhaps they had separate life cover or cover/pension from work. Either way it’s not really any of our business. For me I find rye girl to be extremely genuine and all that she said made complete sense. I saw this week her father in law was doing the work going on at the moment. It really makes such a difference when you have that support from family and friends and saves literally tens of thousands. I’m sure she’d give her beautiful home up in a heartbeat to have her husband back.
No doubt Rachel could have given the nod to set up another ‘go fund me’ and no doubt it’d have done exceptionally well. The fact that she was so against this really cemented my belief in her being genuine. So good luck to her and her insta page, why not, at least she puts an effort into it where as many who are at it years don’t. I wouldn’t wish what she’s going through on anyone.

There may not be kids on the toy show this year. But I bet she’ll try anyway
Oh she’s on the hunt already I’d say . Probably emailing RTÉ everyday .

Also , I watched those videos of the bperfect and I noticed even when she was wearing the mask, she had this silly school girl giggling look , giggling away delighted with herself . Following Jac Jossa like a little puppy on a lead . She looked pathetic and she didn’t give a shit! All for the fame , only thinking of herself by the looks of it 🤮
Also ,how can she do that on the 6 month anniversary of her husband passing ? It is so cold to me. Maybe I’m a big softie , but I just couldn’t do that , my heart would be broken .
My auntie lost her husband around the same time as Rachel’s husband passed away . My aunt wasn’t allowed in to see my uncle , but she drove 6hrs every single day on her own just to park in the car park and talk up to his hospital window and 1 morning at 5am she got a phonecall to say he wasn’t well at all and could she go there , the nurse said he was passing away , but he held on until she finally fought and got in to see him for the second before he passed , the nurse told us that he told her “I’ll hang on until she gets here , I won’t go , I’m trying to hold on “ and the second my auntie got in and held his hand , he passed away and he was a young man . 6 months on and she’s still absolutely devastated, her heart is just broken , the last thing she is doing is going on social media , the poor woman finds it hard to even go to the grocery shopping , she’s still hardly eating , her world is shattered . She is like another mam to me , and I couldn’t be there for his funeral , I couldn’t be there for her in person on the day she needed me the most . But , there’s Rachel and the rest in the “stitches” having a great time and now blocking poor people who are going through heart breaking times . She Should be ashamed of herself .

I have been browsing Threads on tattle for a while, however this is one I really felt I needed to add to. I reached out to bloggers with big numbers a few weeks ago as an appeal had been sent out to help families struggling at this time throughout Ireland especially in the North as families are struggling to purchase diapers and had to reuse them as well as basic hygiene supplies, As a mother it broke and still does thinking that is how people in this country are living. This organization is donation only and could really have been given a boost as the image used would make a stone sob!
I sent it to Mrs Gorry asking her to share the organization and nothing, no mention. I messaged her just now re apology and a few facts about what is going on now in Belfast and the surrounding cities, re cancer patients treatment stalled, lockdown etc. BLOCKED. This women does not care, nor has she ever, that apology was not genuine, she would never have said anything if there hadn’t been a thread started, herself, her children should be isolating and have some regard for the state that we are in, she had no problem attending that event and looked delighted to have been there. I live in the North and the effects of another lockdown will take a very long time to recover from both economically and physiologically, her disregard for people is astounding considering the lose she herself has experienced!
It’s a long one but it’s just beyond frustrating that she can act like it’s so easy to get on.

This is probably and awful thing to say but I believe half the reason Rachel never once raised awareness for anything or praises any nurses or doctors is because she never wants the spotlight to be off herself. She wants herself and herself alone to be at the centre of Daniel’s story. Giving praise to anyone else deflects attention away from her. I’m sorry if that sounds awful but I believe it to be true. Any retelling of any story about him has her as the focus. Probably the reason why she doesn’t respond to others about their loss either- because this her moment. The limelight will not be shared. You will probably remember that I initially came on here to somewhat defend Rachel (although I was critical of her in other ways) but this thread and people’s comments have really opened my eyes to her. I don’t believe she’s a nasty person but I do think she is obsessed with the attention she is getting right now. She loves being put on a pedestal and seems to think she’s the only one who has ever suffered a huge loss. I’m still not over her wanting to be on The Late Late show and trying to get that off the ground. She needs to put the phone away until after the new year, look after herself and her kids, properly grieve and stop looking for the praise and adulation of complete strangers for an ego boost.

That’s a swimsuit you wear when you want attention. She’s no wallflower. I know judging women on their clothing is very behind the times but that swimsuit doesn’t exactly scream grieving widow. And before anyone comes at me I’m not saying she needs to wear a burka, but her fanny is practically hanging out ffs
