Also, this is fiction…? It’s not as if BR is trying to monetise being a blogger going on a ton of dates herself or the concept of 52 dates is what’ll generate interest/revenue in this project. The value in this book is BR writing the fictional story so this is all very eh!
Ive also just realised she must have waited exactly 15 days so she could tweet her stupid Nothing Compares2U reference 🙈 christ!

Totally agree with that. Likes to make sure her waist looks smaller in her photos and that her angles are on point. Yet her friends who lose a wee bit of weight are cut off and vilified by her private school elite fat circle. The hypocrisy.

Charlotte BHC seems to think that this is her thread judging by her twitter 🙄
Bless her. Sorry hun, you might be a stirrer but your 1.3k IG followers and 4.9k Twitter followers aren't quite enough for a thread of your own xoxo

There is more to this story....who gets made redundant cos you made a comment on the quality of a fabric? Bet the truth is she was a nightmare to work with 😂
No I think she means she was going to place a custom order somewhere but then finding out she’s being made redundant shouldn’t be spending money unnecessarily. Shame for her, she definitely did generate some interest and business for Navabi. I’d never heard of them until her collection

Stumbled here from the Jack Monroe multiverse, hello Fraus — I love the content of the WPAYO podcast, have had several top recommendations from it, but I cannot bear the delivery. I love Alice, but Bethany’s awful speech patterns are totally distracting. I know I’m “old” (‘yeah, ok boomer’ muttered my 13 year old at me last week when I asked her to do something) so I may be missing something, but all the LIKES, the clipped tones, the sighing, the bangers, the upwards inflection — it makes her sound really unintelligent when she’s clearly not.

I would be delighted if my 7 year old had made me those earrings, from a parental pride point of view, but I am totally embarrassed for her that she values them at £14 — at her age, with her exposure to properly arty people. Cringe
Totally agreed. I can't believe she can't see that its also:
a) a little disrespectful to her friends with small businesses
b) suspicious given shes never really shown much desire to make/sell things like this before now / hasn't just addressed the fact that its a blatant cash grab given that shes lost her job and hubby likely isn't bringing in much at the moment (assumed)
c) contradictory to be using polymer clay as someone who loves to virtue signal ✨ sustainability✨ towards other brands.

I know this sounds mean but I genuinely think she’s a typical rich girl that really only has to get by by having a shitty hobby for a living

Unpopular opinion alert: she’s wealthy enough to buy sustainable bespoke clothing brand new and should be leaving the bargains for the rest of us.

Edit: also I bought a book she recommended on her stories and read it over the weekend. It was so so bad, I’m raging I spent the money. For someone who used to have such good taste (on the podcast at least) she really will shill any old crap.

The fact that she doesn't have a separate social media account for her earring business proves that she knows no one would buy her earrings without being a fan of her.

What does she get from postings this kind of thing? Who enjoys her brags about being a lady of leisure? 🤔
Not sure, her other posh mates maybe? I'm fat and body positive but I can't relate to her at all and I don't aspire to be like her either. She's changed a lot since her "queerest of the queer" phase.

The scandi guy was Denis who's Norwegian, he had a gf in Norway at the same time as yer ole pal Bert who she was intimidated by.

I had a fair overlap of social group with her in the DOMO era too but never went to it for various reasons.
Oooh was it just Scandi Denis then? I was under the impression there were two well endowed Scandi men who liked fat queer women at the same time. I knew Denis and yer pal Bert were poly/open but assumed that she had a Scandi type with a Denis double who was also sleeping with four of her friends I overlapped with. The polyam The Parent Trap (aka I could not keep up with so much drama about people I could not put name to face on…)

But I’m actually quite mash all the emojis indicating WTF if Denis was sleeping with her and at least four of her close friends and all five of them were not entirely aware of the full openness of the situation. That’s Eastenders in New Cross nightclubs.

Which means writing hot Viking fat appreciator with impressive appendage into the book as a positive seems even more inappropriate. I know at least two really close friendships ended horribly over the Randy Scandi Show in the circles I heard about.

I remain irritated she writes such flat prose with such amazing backstory. I am a bit scared where Alice got her writing skills because her book was brilliant and I kept thinking ‘she really observes character. I wish Bethany’s writing did the same because I would read the hell out it.’

Used to really like her but she’s driving me mad at the moment. Given that she openly says she’s a very sweaty person WHY does she feel the need to always wear Grey marl for running? Those sweaty cheat selfies are rank, why would you post them on the internet
I love that this is your breaking point - grey marl 😂

I’m being bitchy here but I don’t think she’s as big an advocate as she has seemed in the past - just say something ! People would respect you so much more if you said something - she’s not as famous as her but Rebel Wilson say - she was just honest and I don’t think I’ve seen * that * much back lash. Just know your audience, say how incredibly lucky you are to also not work a 9-5, can seemingly eat all this food just cos of exercise AND look aesthetically and culturally pleasing AND that you still advocate for fat people but alas are not fat anymore. Sorry I’m spitballing, I’m part jealous part angry 😂
The only pushback I saw on Rebel Wilson was the types who have made ‘fat famous people’ their icons no different to stans who blur a line of love and obsession any of those groups who get nicknames. Collective stalkers living through Lizzo or Harry Styles or TSwift. The Rebel rebels freaked when she rebelled. She spoke up that her weight was partly binge eating and needed treatment, she was unwell generally, wanted a kid and all the aspects in the cycle of her weight: binge, jealousy, insecurity, mean girling, over confidence pushback were keeping her single and inauthentic. She wanted to change and drum roll please like all eating disorders: weight and food area symptom of underlying behaviours and beliefs. Treatments aims to change symptoms by changing those.

And then she came out and ooooh the anger she seemed happy by changing. For herself. I don’t much care for Rebel Wilson but they attack Adele for wanting to be more active for her kid, keep working, not deal with weight impacting personal goals but are also salty that Adele, Lizzo, Rebel have glam lives with money etc so how dare they want more? Maybe because fancy lunches and posh clothes aren’t all that compared to health and privilege?

But to flaunt weight loss and her non stop luxury life and acknowledge neither is audacity. She posts that reel about another woman exercising while fat (and used a fat black women’s words) instead of ever being a writing and writing about this dilemma. It’s not a easy write and I now think she may not be acknowledging it because her skills haven’t grown beyond early influencer show don’t tell…

Also disclosure, I am just so livid today that she reposted the Grenfell slide in amongst her lunchy lunchy, spin, oh holibobs tomorrow, fat activism slide in such a performative way. Her London and her reality is so shallow. Even Carrie Bradshaw raised the odd issue head on!

At least she's smiling though!
It’s really nice to see her smiling, she should do it more often!

sucks that she lost her job, she did great work for Navabi. Don’t think anyone would even know what it was if it wasn’t for her. She should stick to writing rather than earring making, I’d rather read what she has to say any day over her contemporaries (Dolly, Pandora, Danielle, Callie etc)

Sure, and I have plenty of negative opinions myself. I suppose I am just a little bemused at the anger this particular influencer seems to attract, considering how many absolute shockers there are out there. It sort of feels like scraping the barrel to complain just because someone came from a relatively comfortable background.
She has a terrible attitude and appears to be very haughty and judgmental. Like you said yourself, she's not the queen of England.

Sorry to be mean but those earrings she's making look like flaccid penises in profile.

She's seriously annoying me retweeting nonsense about anti-trafficking organisations. I know that for BR's crowd making lots of noise about how they Totally Support Sex Work is the ultimate priority, but I personally prioritise the welfare of vulnerable women and children who are enslaved by organised criminals over more privileged SW's right to work unimpeded by hotel staff. It's such extreme and misguided virtue signalling.
Omg say it louder! Majority of sex workers around the world are young, traficked females! It always pisses me off to see hunfluencers chat about sex workers , they are not all uni students doing a bit of cam work or a lil BJ here and there! Makes me so sad when you actually see the reality and how NOT liberated and abused these women and girls are....
