i missed the stories that she deleted earlier, but this explanation doesn't justify her being irrationally angry at people who took the time to reply to her question and share their experiences. she says she was asking for reassurance, which may have been what she was hoping for, but her question actually asked people to respond with their own experiences of prozac withdrawal and specifically clarifying if they experienced such tiredness and how long the exhaustion she is currently experiencing lasted. she didn't ask for "reassuring" responses only - yet she doesn't understand why people would reply to her sharing their own experiences and explaining that the feeling of exhaustion lasted for years etc. BECAUSE YOU bleeping ASKED, ALEX!

her followers can't read her mind, fss. she was freaked out by the responses she received, because she only asked expecting people would tell her to hang in there and that it would only last a few more days and respond with supportive messages filled with encouragement and reassurance - yet that's literally not what she asked. she didn't ask people send messages that would make her feel more positive or make her feel better - it's not about expecting other people to be just like her and only ever send positive replies, it's HER error in that she asked for people's experiences and they were open and honest and didn't pander to her and full her inbox with soothing lies!

it ois her fault. but the real issue is not that she wasn't prepared for "bad" answers - which would imply she's totally delusional in that she thinks medication withdrawal should only be talked about if it goes smoothly and other people should keep their negative experiences to themselves - but that she fully expects people to feel as comfortable being dishonest as she has proved she does, randomly fabricating bull stories as it suits her.

What’s she even talking about. If that’s an attempt of an apology it’s basically “I know I’ve f**cked up, or rather been told I’ve f**cked up, so I’m going to say sorry without saying sorry and still make it sound like I’ve done nothing wrong

Yes I doubt she thinks she’s done wrong at all!

 

[Bagpuss7]

It wasn't just her words, it was how pissy and angry she was. All confrontational and indignant that people had dared to take the time to send her a message answering her request...No compassion for any of the people who are continuing to suffer withdrawal symptoms. She was really vile. And then to publish that petulant piss poor lack of apology

 

[Newyorker21]

She does this all the time!! She is vague in her questions, expects people to know what she means, then goes massively ove the top and nasty when people don’t do exactly what she wants!?? I genuinely don’t think she is well at this point and probably shouldn’t come off the Prozac!!! How Dave puts up with it I’ll neve know!! Must be about the money!?

Late to the party for the fringe stories but can I be a witch for a second? The girl has NO hair. Why would you bring a picture of a woman with full thick blonde hair to the hair-dresser for inspiration when yours is a fuzzball? Same with the curling devices debacle. It's not working for you because you have NO HAIR !!!

 

[#ad#aff]

Another spoilt child. She didn’t like the answers because in her very own words she ‘needed to know it would end soon’. Ie tell her what she wants to hear because she can’t handle anything else. She must be a riot to be married to, she has a meltdown over anything. She’s in her 30s and yet she expects to be mollycoddled and wrapped in cotton wool.

 

[Bagpuss7]

So the latest podcast nonsense is about breathing...taking a breath to help in moments of stress and anxiety, manage emotions!! ..what a shame she didn't put what she's supposedly advocating into practice yesterday before her poorly judged outburst !

Her hair is almost identical to mine. It's pointless faffing with it or even attempting to grow it cause as you say, it's pretty much non existent

 

[Rosieee]

Look at these Aff link hidden behind her profile pic on her stories. She is so sneaky!

This is why her heatless curl attempts are so stupid. She has about 3 hairs and they’re frizzy.

wow. i genuinely have no words for her latest reel. yeah, it's the standard rehashed reminder that "thinness does not equal happiness" - and yet another excuse to share even more photos of herself at a low weight. it's truly disgusting and incredibly disappointing as, being someone who struggles with an eating disorder, she is absolutely aware the impact that such triggering imagery will have on her vulnerable followers - those who struggle with eating disorders and body image issues, and followed her because she was supposedly promoting body confidence - as is specified in her bio! people do not expect to follow accounts dedicated to promoting body confidence and be faced with endless, potentially triggering, low weight photos!

the way she is unearthing more and more photos of herself at a low weight shows how much she is currently struggling, as she is obviously spending her time looking back thru old photos of herself when she was underweight - but suffering a relapse is not an excuse to plaster such inappropriate imagery all over SM. it genuinely makes me so angry, when anyone who is actually dedicated to raising awareness about eating disorders would never share before/after style imagery, because they are fully aware - as Alex is - that sharing photos of yourself at a low weight encourages comparisons and can trigger people, plus it also emphasises the misconception that an individual must be visibly thin in order for their eating disorder to be valid - when in actuality, only 6% of ED sufferers are ever underweight. she could easily deter people from seeking help thinking that they aren't sick enough or worthy of support after comparing themselves to old photos of her, or be encouraged to push themselves further to try and lose more weight, and risk serious physical consequences. Alex is responsible for the content she posts and the way she is unnecessarily risking the health of her followers.

i am tempted to send her message or leave a comment on her reel, but i know I would just be blocked or recieve a witchy response, so it seems pointless - but she needs to acknowledge she's struggling and placing other people at risk as result, and take responsibility to protect her vulnerable followers and take a step back from SM until she has addressed her relapse and is mentally in a more stable position.

Or just report the post as I have. Instagram actually have a click on button for ED. I wish it was easy to block her sneaky AFF that she's hiding on her posts.

oh, I reported it immediately based on the triggering ED content, but in the past whne i have reported her ED content and low weight photos, IG haven't done anything - often I eventually just get a repose saying that IG haven't even reviewed her posts as they have so much reported content to assess, and if I don't like it, i can simply block her. which yeah, i can - but that doesn't protect all her vulnerable followers that she's placing at risk. I often think that verified blue tick accounts have an extra layer of protection in terms of people reporting their content - even when there are genuine concerns, it doesn't seem to be investigated or removed in the way it would be if it where posted by someone who wasn't an influencer with a huge following.

it's awful, because having such a huge platform and posting triggering images is far more dangerous than low weight photo being posted by a tiny pro-ana account - not that either is appropriate, but it's like Eugenia Cooney - Alex's content has far wider reach, thus the potential to negatively impact so many people, especially when she dishonestly states her account promotes "body confidence", thus purposefully luring vulnerable people who likely struggle with food/body image to follow her for inspiration - and are then faced with endless images of Alex at a low weight. writing "trigger warning" in the caption doesn't justify sharing those photos - especially in a bleeping reel which will play automatically before you even have chance to read the caption - and ofc she's made sure that a low weight photo of her legs and thigh gap is the cover image which people will be exposed to when they scroll thru her grid.

 

[kknot28]

Is she for real here?! A post saying she got the smaller size followed by a load about how size doesn't equal with etc etc! Does she not realise or does she genuinely not care?!

Also a bunch more hidden aff posts on her story too, it's so bad!

 

[Ilovepearjuice]

I was just about to comment on the hidden aff videos! So sneaky and deceitful...

 

[Deevee47]

Couldn’t agree more… plus the fact that she mentioned she bought the trousers but in a smaller size! Who needed to know it was a smaller Size!? She is def struggling at the moment. She’s all over the place.
And don’t get me started on hiding the AFF link! How disingenuous is that!!?!?

Was just coming on to post about her... sneaky doesn't seem strong enough...hiding her aff ads. What an awful, awful person she is.

"Oooh, I had an eating disorder, look at my pics telling you my story. And while you're here, look at me now and click here".

"Dave... book the flights to Paris... kerching"

 

[PineappleQueen19]

Omg she deserves to be in such deep tit with the ASA for these unmarked ads

I reported her the other day for the same thing... don't know what happens now? Or if they do anything?
And. You know if we messaged her about it she'd either just block us or delete the ads and say she was being trolled. Tiresome.
