Amy Antoinette

[Jassieau]

Ohh so glad I found a thread on her! I also have followed her from the UK and it has made me so sad to see her spiral like this. She’s so pretty and she knows it and she’s done well to survive all
the shit life has thrown at her but to pack it all
And travel like gypsies with three kids seems nuts. How will they support themselves!

 

[R3ch3l]

I can’t believe how much she’s changed - she’s turned into a looney. I’m surprised she hasn’t updated her profile pic wearing a MAGA hat...

Anyone follow her? I have followed Amy for about ten years and used to love her content. It was interesting, her move to the USA, house and her kids. She has been through absolute hell with her babies dying years ago and then her mum dying.

That being said, I have completely gone off her. I follow her on Instagram and Twitter, and Twitter reveals a lot about her, especially the likes. I am not sure if it is a combination of all the trauma she has been through and living in the US but she seems to have a screw loose now.

She has no faith in Healthcare, perhaps due to her babies and mum dying but it all seems a bit mad. She is completely anti vaccine now and seems to not like modern medicine. She tweets stuff about the govt making vaccines to posion kids, etc. She also believes that some mass shootings are a hoax. She liked a tweet about the Walmart shooting in the USA not being real. There's also other weird stuff she likes. I don't recall her being like this years ago.

I shortly stopped following her after she moved to the US. She had made the move to America sound so exciting but in reality it sounds like shes moved to one of those small towns/small mentality places where everyone supports Trump so not so shocked by those tweets she has liked. A shame as she was one of the original bloggers I liked.

Agree with everything you said. I used to love Amy and her content. Her kids are adorable and she takes beautiful pictures.
It's heartbreaking what her and her family have been through.
I just recently unfollwed her after the anti Vax posts. I don't have Twitter but that sounds worrying. She'll be supporting Trump next. I wonder if she has had any support or counseling?

 

[bubbletea123]

Oh wow. I saw that this morning and wondered what you guys thought. I’m Australian so no idea on Virginia- are you saying the state is full of people who want to do what Amy is talking about?

No, I don't think so. But some americans in general tend to have some wacky beliefs.

 

[bubbletea123]

Again mentioning that she doesn't want her kids to go to school. Her kids will prob end up resenting her as she gets older as she seems like such a control freak.

Also, she doesn't vaccinate her kids as it is "poison" yet I am pretty sure she gets botox... I have nothing against botox and would maybe get it but from her stance it seems hypocritical.

 

[barryjones]

Yeah it's really sad, she seems so unhappy and unhinged. I hope she gets help. I know it's related to all her loss but it's crazy how quickly she declined into such worrying views.

 

[Clarity456]

Oh my god she actually has a thread! I had to unfollow her a few years ago. I can’t even put into words why but she just give me the ick.


.

I'm the exact same, glad I found a thread on this...Amybabydoll69 was one of the first accounts I followed on youtube... between 2008 - 2013 I absolutely ADORED her fashion, beauty, wedding, interior and travel content on her blog....her babies essentially being stillborn is horrific and I wouldn't wish it on anyone and whilst I can fully appreciate that theres probably not a day that goes by when she doesn't think of them and I certainly don't think they shouldnt be mentioned on her social media but the extent of these type of posts to me, just gives her social media a real gloomy edge, its like the majority of her content is related to death and grief....

Case in point:

Instagram post about her eldests birthday, a whole paragraph where her grief about the twins is mentioned:
Instagram post about the season of autumn both her mum and her twins deaths mentioned:
Post about christmas, mums death mentioned:

She's evidently deeply affected by both these horrific events and should seek help ASAP. Her husband studied a really prestigious degree like mechanical engineering and obviously must be well paid for them to make the move to the US. From what I've seen of him on her blog, I didnt think he was the sort who'd just willingly give that up to live in a shed with 3 kids and grow his own food supply

who knows?!

 

[Jassieau]

are her kids at school? i wonder how her husband copes with it all, he seems really smart and sensible from what i remember and how being forced to work from home and with her and the kids, can't be easy.

 

[bubbletea123]

Flipping heck, sounds like she's gone batshit!
So is she homeschooling the kids then?

I can't remember. I think they might be going to some other school.

Pretty sure she isn’t a Trump supporter, I’m sure she posted lamenting his win in 2016.

I don’t think she will go off-grid. She’s always been a huge consumer, loving the finer things in life. I’ve followed her for years too.

She has always seemed fairly isolated. In the Uk before marriage/kids she didn’t work I don’t think and didn’t seem the type to have lots of friends. She seemed to be in a little bubble with her fiancé.

I think she has had loads of trauma, aside from the tragic loss of her twins and mum, she had another difficult pregnancy, traumatic birth, ill health, she’s had a tough time. I think it does make you melancholy and don’t judge her for that.

She kind of missed the boat to make it really big with her blog. Was she friends with Zoella at one point?
I still follow her - her photography is beautiful.

She is liking QAnon style/Trump supporter account posts on IG. She is absolutely cuckoo now.

And yes she has been through a lot of trauma but so has many people but they don't become anti-vax, anti-healthcare, anti-school, anti-government, etc. It seems like she needs A LOT of therapy but she seems to not trust people in authority so I doubt she would go to it.

 

[Clarity456]

I've said it before and I'll say it again her husband seemed an uber sensible chap with an excellent degree from a highly regarded uni I just can't see him wanting to live in a caravan, grow all their own food and homeschool all the kids with essentially zero interaction from the outside world.....

Maybe he's just blinded by being in love with her

 

[Clarity456]

Do you know what is with Antoinette? Is it her surname??

I reckon its her middle name...her last names something different not sure im allowed to say it on here

 

[bubbletea123]

I used to follow her years ago and always found her a bit up herself and like she thought she was better than everyone else.

Yes, she seems a little stuck up and holiour than thou.

 

[barryjones]

She has some really dangerous views/opinions now. I bet her family back home are seriously worried about her.

Flipping heck, sounds like she's gone batshit!

[openbook1]

It seems the pandemic would be a dream for her as she no longer has to send her kids to daycare or school or mix with society. They can be freely taught at home.

    @amyantoinetteas a teacher and early childhood masters student obviously I think ‘school’ is important for many reasons however I totally understand wanting to home school and it can be great and I know you’ll do an amazing job! I would just say and I’m suureeee you will do this ahahaha but just please do get the kids involved in activities like ballet/dance, soccer (whatever they like) that’s social - so they don’t miss out on interacting with other children as it’s SO critical in early childhood for social and emotional development - however the experience of travelling and seeing new places will be amazing for them! Exciting !

      @jrosellenm They will ‘socialise’ far more out of school (where they are often not allowed to talk or only allowed to talk about the topic at hand) than in it. I’m not planning on keeping them in the house with no contact with other kids There are vast unschooling and homeschooling communities; the notion that children who don’t attend school don’t get a chance to socialise is antiquated and unfounded.

I honestly wonder what her husband thinks? Does he agree with her views? Or does he just go along with them and ponder to her as she seems quite vulnerable? Or does he encourage them? I have no doubt that since moving to the USA it has got worse. I wouldn't be surprised if Amy is quite isolated as it is hard to make friends as an adult. She has also been through a lot of trauma, losing her babies and her mother... she seems to have really turned against modern medicine and logical thinking after that.
