Becky Reynolds

[AddictedtoYT]

Im going to be brutally honest and share way more than I should and be so thankful this is anonymous.

Im obese and always have been since I have been a child. I’m 5ft 1in, 23st 6lbs and 35 years old.

in my 20s I was basically fat positive and thinking the world should change for me and not fitting into seats was the seats problem and not mine. I brushed any concerns under the carpet and it was just a part of me.

Now I’m in my 30s fuck am I feeling it. I admit I can no longer reach to wipe my bum so I use a medical aid. My legs and knees kill me just walking 50ft and even walking up the stairs to the bathroom feels like a trek. I no longer look forward to holidays because it means being exhausted and sore from walking and too small seat. I don’t do a lot of things that bring me joy because I physically can’t. Me and my husband have had sex once in the last year due to our weight and health. I constantly worry that I am going to die young. I’m scared I’m past the point of no return as surgery is not an option.

So basically I understand where Becky is coming from because I was exactly the same at her age and I wouldn’t thank anyone for saying I needed to change. Yes I was fat but I was still sexy but with hindsight I urge her to please make a change now whilst she can, before even walking becomes too much for her knees to take.

did JP suddenly switch the remote vibrator on?

 

[didisaythatoutloudoops]

Can someone give me a run down about this woman pretty please? Because I'm fairly new to her and she doesn't have any other threads, or a wiki.

Where do they get all this money from?
Why are they all so fat?
Why are they all so annoying?
Why is she such a freak?

So many questions 🫣

Here's what I know, I've been watching a while but please correct me if I'm wrong! Sorry about the length...

She's been on YouTube for about 3 years. She's not exactly gone viral but if you regularly watch British plus size clothing hauls, she's likely to come up in your recommended. She's on the edge of 30, lives in Southhampton after moving out of London into a shoebox terrace bankrolled by mummy and daddy. She is what younger people than me would describe as a 'basic bitch': drives a Fiat 500, loves a Chinese, absolutely no style/taste aside from what is popular on TikTok right now. Her mundane life and absolute lack of charisma in front of the camera makes her videos, on the surface, a bore fest. What makes her somewhat entertaining to watch, like most of the YouTubers discussed on here, is her absolute delusion about it.

Becky thinks she is a star and so do mummy and daddy. Judging by the age of the entire family, she was a surprise (she has a very much older step-sibling). Becky clearly can do no wrong in their loving eyes, and the word 'no' is not in their vocabulary. Think Verucca Salt, but 30 and morbidly obese. She struts around in her clothes during her haul, often describing herself as sexy and stunning and 'the hot girlfriend' (more on the relationship in a bit). These hauls involve no styling of the purchases, and are usually just t-shirts and jumpers with the occasional dress. She very rarely brushes her hair during the videos and doesn't bother to wear shoes or make up. When she started doing hauls, she was around a size 22-24 (although would claim she is a 20). She now rarely tries on below a 28, but claims she is a 22-24. Her weight gain has been particularly fast over the past 6 months. By my estimation, she would be a size 30-32 in tailored clothes. She is out of breath sitting down and blocks any comments mentioning health, fitness, obesity, or related words.

She also does make up videos, showing the same look every single time usually with a 'chat with me' section where she brags about her perception of how her life is going. Every 6-9 months, she does a 'declutter', where she throws literally thousands of £s of designer make up in the bin, before spending the next 6-9 months doing 'make up hauls'.

The money, and the delusion, come from mummy and daddy. With their other child established with a family, most of the money goes to Becky, the apple of their eye. Her mother watches the comments of every video and responds to any that are critical in any way. She sometimes is in the videos herself, fawning over her daughter and making comments such as 'she could be a TV show host'. Her father isn't seen as much but when he is, it's clear he thinks he is some kind of writer/historian/important figure and often drones on. The siblings do not appear at all and are rarely mentioned.

She's in a long distance relationship with a man she calls JP, a French national. They both lived in London when they met, and despite him being in the UK and eligible for the EU settlement scheme, he moved to Luxembourg just before the pandemic. Becky claims Brexit separated them despite his ability to remain. He has no plans to move to the UK again and has visited her once in the past 4 years. She flies over to see him with a suitcase full of gifts about 4 times a year. He initially appeared in videos, then said he couldn't because of his job (works in a bank), now has appeared in them again briefly. He always looks miserable and uncomfortable being filmed and being in her presence. He has no public social media presence and she is not visible on it at all. Multiple YouTube and Instagram comments have said to have proof of his infidelity (Tinder profiles, messages etc) although these are quickly deleted by Becky.

Becky is desperate to marry him and live a fairytale happy ever after. She does not speak a word of French and is not learning (in her words, too hard). For her to move to France on a spousal visa, they have to be married pre-application. She booked and paid for a trip to Vegas a few months ago with many thinking it was a booby trap for him to be forced down the aisle, as she had hinted at it in multiple videos before. No dice for her, though, and no plans for any future.

In summary, she's on the edge of 30, gaining weight rapidly, has no social life, hobbies or friends, and has a non-existent relationship with a man who left the country 4 years ago and isn't coming back.

Crackpot time, because I've got a theory for you all here. I realise I'm typing an essay. I think Becky is big (pardon the pun) into the 'fat liberation' movement.

Let me just start by saying that I do not believe most larger people are interested or believe in this movement - I think they're quite frankly embarrassed by it. And I don't think it's right to judge someone's health solely by their body, unwarranted/unprovoked. Becky - who is making monetised videos about her body and food choices - needs to accept that people WILL comment (which she encourages), and if she doesn't want that, needs to turn off comments or stop making videos altogether (and quit getting the profit).

I've been trying to figure out for a long time how a young, flexible working (and let's be real here) single woman with no kids and a significant amount of disposable income would not commit to weight loss surgery, if other methods didn't work. I know surgery is a big step but she is dangerously obese, and she is strangling her life expectancy by not acting. She's desperate to have an influencer life, full of friends with a loving and devoted boyfriend. But she doesn't, and losing weight is realistically her only hope of that. It isn't her appearance, it's that she's out of breath talking - she's not going to be able to keep friends if she can't go shopping with them, go bowling, go on a night out, because she can barely walk 50 yards without needing to stop. She won't meet another boyfriend for the same reason. At that size and stamina level, you simply cannot do fun things - so how would you actively gain new friendships/relationships?

I've gone on a real rabbit hole and discovered a world of morbidly obese people who believe the way overweight people are treated is akin to racism or disability discrimination, and losing weight to improve your life is shameful and ableist and 'anti-fat'. They believe losing weight is a sign of your failure to embrace your body and size, and you've been 'shamed into it'. Beds breaking under your weight is a sign of fat phobia. Airplanes having small seats is fat phobia. For most of us, these are wake up calls; for them it is that society is discriminating against them. A recent 'drama' in the community involved a creator who has lost 100lbs on weight loss medication, who said that she's turned her life around and her body is no longer a prison. She admitted she had reached the point she couldn't wipe her own bum and this has saved her from that trajectory. Good for her, right? No - FatGirlFlow wrote an entire post titled 'I can't wipe my own ass... and I'm ok with it' explaining that creator is ableist, only lost weight because of societal shame and to be 'a Good Fatty', that she's sharing a 'harmful narrative' and 'devaluing the lives of disabled people'. The blog is an insane, but interesting, read.

Looking at Becky's 'plus size travel' video, I think she's firmly into these beliefs. She says the following amongst other things:

- don't be ashamed to ask to be driven to your airport gate by golf cart if you get out of breath walking
- if you're too big for the airplane tray to come down when you're at your seat, put haribo in the pocket of the seat so you don't get hungry
- look at pictures of restaurants online in advance to see if you can fit in the chairs, and if you can't, skip that restaurant (Becky admits to bruising her legs trying to fit into chairs before).

None of these are wake up calls for her. They're inconveniences and annoyances that the world should have already fixed for her but haven't. It's the same mindset as these 'fat liberation' creators. I just wonder, as she gets bigger and bigger, if she's going to publicly 'join' this movement. Who knows - in 2024, we might be reading about how JP hoses her down because showers are ableist.

It’s not even for a couple

Im sorry to say this but the ones defending her mostly look a bit ‘special’

 

[Tabitha]

Becky Reynolds #2 High-flying stylish babe but really a deluded slob, JP uses remote vibrator to finish off the job

 

[Tabitha]

She is 100% the kind of person who just wants a boyfriend just to say that they have a boyfriend… oh and exchange tat.
Id rather be #foreveralone with cats than have this joke of a relationship - wasting time and all that money on someone so boring, unattractive and uninterested.

 

[didisaythatoutloudoops]

He doesn't look like he's got the tools for the job to me tbh he probably has a pair of salad tongs on standby when she wants him to have a go on her

You think for one second that Becky owns a pair of salad tongs?!?

 

[zebby]

Don't forget, she happily admitted on camera that she often forgets to brush her teeth (or should that be teef given she turns into a 17 year old rapper from Hackney when she talks). We suspect 'JP' is a feeder, which is adding to the weight gain and when she does a food 'haul' (how I hate that expression) she loudly chews and shovels food in with great gusto.

 

[JDo777]

Which one is your hand Becky? I don’t know give me a clue…

 

[didisaythatoutloudoops]

Realised I hadn't had a look at her social media in a while. I cannot believe she has a cleaner. She works from home in a shoebox terrace with no kids.

Has she really gotten so large that she's unable to do basic, light housework?

 

[littlemisschattergiggles]

So JP switched her Philadelphia to Light? Is the feeder now feeling that she's just getting too big for him?
And to say she wants to make healfier choices??? she's having a laff... proceeding to show crisps, cakes, pizza, mortadella, bacon, chocolates mousse, sausages, chicken kievs, curly fries, custard choux buns... Jesus wept
She keeps going on about how her food hauls or taste testing videos do really well.. humm maybe because people can't actually believe the quantities of calorific fattening food she consumes as her daily diet.
Byeeeeeee

 

[didisaythatoutloudoops]

Little JP always gives off asexual vibes to me.

That's an interesting perspective. I know this sounds mean but I wonder if she's got the stamina to actually do the deed. She's out of breath doing her make up - even lying back and thinking of England must be taxing for her.

That being said, and it's the wildest thing I've said on this forum and a new rock bottom for me, but the thought has crossed my mind that he must have quite the sausage to actually reach our Beck's lady garden past that belly...

 

[VirtualSignal]

I’m not surprised clothing firms are charging for returns when people like Becky are ordering clothes just for try ons on YT, stretching the frack out of them as they come up ‘too small’ and then returning them.
I don’t want to be wearing something someone else’s sweaty gusset has been fannying around in, pulling and stretching for YT then sending back with zero intention of keeping

 

[shammy24]

Part of me really wants to feel sorry for her. Losing weight is really hard and I spent decades on fad diets myself.

Then I realise I simply don't feel sorry for someone who can pay for a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a gym membership and even weight loss surgery. I just don't feel sorry for someone who has a wardrobe full of designer bags and yet makes absolutely zero effort to improve herself. I've never seen someone with such messed up priorities. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for her deluding herself over this - she's making an active choice to not lose the weight, build a social life and actually find a decent partner.

I’m the same I spent my whole life overweight, getting bullied in school and constant comments from family. I spent years trying every diet under the sun because it’s what other people wanted of me and failed every time.
it wasn’t until two years ago I woke up one morning and out of nowhere I had a huge motivation to improve my health and fitness for myself. I started that day with small changes and didn’t tell anyone out of fear of failing and never looked back. I’ve lost a huge amount of weight in that time, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. but that’s Becky’s problem, she has absolutely no desire to lose weight and is completely content as she is, I’m sure she’s secretly likes the idea of it but isn’t willing to put in the work it takes.

This is a very brave post. Its never too late to makes changes and you are still young. I was overweight in my early 30's, was told my blood sugar was high and if I didn't make changes, I viuld end up with type 2 diabetes in the next few years. It scared me, so I had to make changes. I've always had an unhealthy relationship with food and most days I have to really talk myself out of eating the stuff I really want. It's not easy.

 

[didisaythatoutloudoops]

She's channelling her inner drag queen in the sparkly number

What would her drag name be? I'm thinking Anita Stopeating

 

[zebby]

Someone has commented they thought the brand was "Fred Bear" not Threadbare. And several comments asking if she's been drinking.

 

[ChubClubThug]

She's in a terrible state for a not quite 30 year old woman. She can't even blame it on childbearing/rearing and being run ragged with life, because she's a spoiled, lazy cow

it's not just her weight, it's her skin, her teeth, her hair. She looks like a big, hairy, over cooked gammon joint. Her skin is so unhealthy looking it's truly shocking when you see her up close without make up.

 

[shammy24]

The more I think about it the less I understand her relationship with little JP. They’ve been together for years but neither of them have any intention of moving to be together, the relationship is going absolutely nowhere. He clearly has no real interest in her. I think she just loves the fact she can tell people she has a French banker boyfriend that lives in Monaco, it matches the rich classy lady image she sees herself as in her head. I’ve been to Monaco a couple of times and I just know people stare at her like some kind of circus attraction with her cheap fast fashion dresses and knotted hair with a Chanel bag thrown over top.
