Totally agree re: all of it an especially @itslauramazza. The woman has been through the wringer - I hope she gets exactly what she deserves and more (in a good way, and I hope her heart can heal)
The word was ableist. I can see where she was coming from though. Whilst Sophie might not have any learning disabilities, speaking critically about spelling and grammar in general could be seen as a form of ableism. I suppose the equivalent would be making fun of the way someone danced by saying they “danced like someone with a prosthetic leg”. While the dancer themselves is not disabled, the comment is insulting people who have a prosthetic. I do agree though that the criticism directed at Sophie was more about the way the content on the website was expressed and/or her lack of forethought to hire a professional content writer.
She was apparently the aggressor at that architecture firm. She wrote about them all in her blog and it was pretty cutting. It’s just another example of her not getting what she wants (in this case maternity leave benefits) and going for the people who didn’t give it to her. I have screen shots but it really does dox her. Crazy that a media student wouldn’t realise this and left it up despite crying for anonymity.I was unaware Voldemort's family were well off? I knew her family contributed to her rent, which seriously at 31 shouldn't be needed. I am all for career changes and continued study etc or even in the first year of motherhood, but not in a way where you literally have nothing and rely on family to support yourself. Her suggesting my 3 year old is a good sleeper is a form of privilege is really shining in a new light for me now.
She seems to have had all the things you need to be insta-famous - mental health/anxiety, pmdd, eating disorder, bullying experience at her workplace, have I missed anything?
It looks like HOW has deleted her defence of NSM off Pedestrians post
Far out they are all useless - as soon as the questions to get too hard or they can't handle the comments, they just delete and pretend it never happened. They are all the same....
Soph probably sent them one of her lawyer.com cease & desist letters! Yes ableist was the word used - I also cannot see how critiquing a 'company' website who are obviously charging for their services is ableist. Especially when the service she is offering is basically increasing people's social media presence which I assume would involve maybe a website/posts etc and her own is full of grammatical errors. I can't see her getting any business at all if that's any example of what she's putting out there.
Agreed, yes. However, I think you can run the risk of such a critique being ableist in the way that your critique is expressed. Eg, “her grammar and spelling is terrible, she sounds like an idiot” VS “I can’t believe she didn’t get someone to proof read and edit this, not very professional”.
Looks like Mia Plecic (founder of that slick hair stick business) is also involved. According to ASIC (public available info), she’s a director of Aisuru Group with Soph. Interesting!More details on Sophie Cachia's Aisuru Group registration - it's cosmetics, skin care, pre-tanning skin care and I imagine, spray tans. I figure they will be Japanese sourced products - Sophie Cachia's version of Shiseido. No doubt this will involve tax deduction trips to Japan to source products (one day anyway).

That is interesting! It's a strange name to choose, other than it means love. I don't know how to pronounce it and kept forgetting how to spell it.
The car's worth about $135,000 but I suspect it's financed. It may even be an ex-demo so you can take about $50K off the price. Can't see Reid fitting in the back seat once he's a teenager. I agree that it doesn't seem like they've sacrificed much. Apparently their rental is owned by HoW (?) so maybe a reduced rent. I've read elsewhere they aren't actually renting in the suburb they pretend to rent in and they live more like Carnegie than Malvern. I think they also received a considerable inheritance and some of that went to that ridiculous honeymoon. I've never seen a minute of sacrifice - more like indulgence.
She was looking for someone to do a fence in the "essendon area"- she mentioned it on one of her stories. She's spent the last 3 years living underneath the Tullamarine freeway so a quiet location isn't a priority.
She seems to be off on a holiday more than she is at home.
