Alex Light #2

[Newyorker21]

Terrible outfit Tuesday is back!! She could wear so much nice stuff she’s really attractive but these outfits make no sense and make her look a bit mad!

She also posted this tonight, where the text saying it's an as isn't very obvious

 

[Newyorker21]

I do like Alex but her outfits are soooo bad! She looks like a weird homeless bag lady!?

Alex’s absolute refusal to consider any good in the use of GLP1s is getting quite a lot of backlash on her Weight Watchers post. I get her point that they mean diet culture hasn’t gone anywhere but it’s an odd segway into attacking them.

I thought the farewell pod was quite interesting when Em talked about wanting to give Arlo more privacy, which is more preferable than being a mumfluencer. But I was baffled when 1) they both said that the podcast wasn't their full time job. What exactly are their jobs then? And 2) they talked about losing money on the studio and tour. How are they so bad at business that they couldn't make money from having so many downloads and listeners? If this wasn't their job and they were losing money, then why did they spend so much on the studio, instead of just speaking on zoom?

Such a reckless advertising of that natural contraception thing. Glad she's being called out in the comments.

Absolutely! Period trackers are amazing for understanding your body better, but if you’re actively trying not to get pregnant (and would want to end a pregnancy) then you need a barrier or hormonal contraceptive on the go. Natural cycles is fine if you don’t mind getting pregnant. Might as well throw in a mention for the withdrawal method while she’s at it.

I also get that she’s a straight woman, but the wording of her post is also super heteronormative where it doesn’t need to be.

I tend to find the podcast has gone that way in general. I used to quite like it, they had some great, varied and interesting guests on. Their bits at the start made me cringe so I skipped through them! Now every other week it's either talking about how horrible men are or how diet culture has ruined the world. Boring, haven't listened for a while.

Yes, the podcast was appealing, very poorly researched and only looking for one side of the story.

Does anyone else find it odd that it’s Lottie helping her through the morning sickness and not Em? I presumed they were best friends but maybe not

Is it really necessary to make an entire reel about the fact someone doesn’t like your jeans?

 

[Newyorker21]

All her clothes being offensively bad is one thing, but why does she fair said clothes with such massive ugly ass boots!? She has no clue about style! She can’t dress her ‘bigger’ body as she does still want to be thinner.

Oh joy another book

 

[Karen4eva]

Literally just been thinking this - the whole thing feels cringe worthy and almost set up for 'jokes', that sort of learned helplessness attitude...'oh I'm so dizzy and useless' Mate you're 35plus, it's not a flex to be unable to make one single recipe correctly!

Like her constant heatless curls fails. She knew her hair was too thin.

 

[Bleurghgram]

That’s my issue, the bashing. She’s missed any nuance and completely demonised them, their podcast on it was the same. I get the damage of people who don’t meet the criteria taking them as an ‘easy’ fix but she’s really looking down on those who are using them as prescribed, and used correctly they’re a life changing tool. If she’s going to swing at anything, it should be the ease of procurement.

Has anyone seen the comments from Kristabel to say she recorded an episode that never got released and they never updated her on it? Wonder if they at least paid her for her time!

 

[MarthaFarkus]

I kind of get where she is coming from, I heard of an Irish comedian who said she is microdosing ozempic. She never had weight to lose and I’m just thinking she is being an eejit.

Of course there are people abusing them, I’m not talking about them though. She’s tarring everyone with the same wanting to be skinny brush, that’s what’s pissing me off.

 

[kknot28]

Looks more and more like that was only ever a working relationship rather than a genuine friendship!

Does anyone else find it odd that it’s Lottie helping her through the morning sickness and not Em? I presumed they were best friends but maybe not

 

[kknot28]

Unfollowed Em a little while ago, reckon Alex will be gone soon too, I can't be doing with the ranting at the camera all the time!

 

[missaustraliaaddict]

I've just unfollwed her too. Used to really like her but not so much anymore

 

[FFS_stopit]

Has anyone listened to the final podcast, and are you willing to do the good work of giving us lazy tattlers an explainer? Xoxo

I can give a fuller run down tomorrow but basically it started by them explaining that they don’t have the capacity anymore and are both close to burnout (which they’ve been drip feeding for months anyway) and then they went on to talk about the financial side and basically that it’s never made them any money. All of it actually did make sense but the thing I found wild is that Alex texted em a few weeks ago to say “what’s the point” and thy met up that day and decided on that day to quit and now it’s gone. They had interviews recorded and others lined up and just decided to pull the rug. They als have employees and the lease on the studio doesn’t end up next summer…. It all seems so impulsive!

This kind of #ad display should honestly be illegal. So misleading
