I have a friend in the plus size influencer space and *hates* BR but won’t tell me exactly why (maybe because I’d post it on here 😂)
I feel sorry for CharlotteBhc because she has a personality disorder which causes a lot of the erratic behaviour

Had to scroll back ages to find it:
It seems really unwise of Charlotte to be shady about Tatty Devine seeing as a lot of her customers are probably fans of them.

Well, she’s from a very middle-class background and was privately educated in the very expensive SE town of Dulwich (I can’t recall if she went to Alleyn’s or JAGs, but either is at least £20k per year), so her parents are clearly not badly off. I think at least one of her parents works in media/film or similar creative industry.
Wait she's from bleeping Dulwich?! She often claims on Twitter that she's from Penge! I should have known.

Not to hijack this thread but really interested to see comments about CharlotteBhc crop up. She’s broken up from the bf she’s just bought a house with? She used to be someone I really enjoyed on twitter and I do try to understand the context of where she’s coming from, but sometimes she is just so relentlessly aggressive and anti-talking to anyone who doesn’t write for Vice. Get the impression there’s big beef between her and Bethany (and also Jenny Tighe) but no idea what happened

She has also lived abroad (Canada I think?) and was always able to travel extensively, even before she went to uni, so much have had the means...

She and her husband have also recently bought a place in a relatively expensive hipster part of the UK (a town in SE London which I am v familiar with), so she’s clearly landed on her feet!

That said, her husband looks quite a bit older than her (and so I’d assume he either had a place of his own or a decent job) so they’ve probably been able to pool their resources to buy.
He's just a steward at the Barbican (and presumably fancies himself as an artist) so I doubt he contributes much, money-wise. They seem very happy but I just wish he'd shave his head, he wouldn't even be bad looking if he did. As it is, he just looks contrived and ridiculous.

And yeah, it's always been blatantly obvious that BR is loaded, even up to how she talks about her mum's posh cooking. That's part of what annoys me about her relentless political posturing: it's easy to be the leftest of all lefts when you're minted (I am super liberal btw, I just find rich people who tell poorer people how they should be socialist slightly odd).

Absolutely - she is a complete champagne socialist.

Same! I used to enjoy following her (and I like her jewellery and have ordered some stuff before) but I had to unfollow because it was too much all the time. I was stunned when I saw on her timeline when looking back for the tweet about BR that she’s split with the boyfriend she has just bought a place with.

This ☝🏼

I thought he was about 50 at first but when you actually look at his face he barely looks 30!!!!

I agree. I liked her because she was proud to be who she was, which you can be without aggressively attacking and ghosting everyone who dares to say they’re not comfortable in their own body.

I was surprised she got married actually.

She says she deletes and unfollows because she loves herself too much to read weight loss content. I actually think it’s probably the opposite.

Being snobby and mean will only get you so far. I saw CharlotteBhc the other day slagging her off about getting book deals and only hanging out with other fat girls who also went to private school 👀
(They don’t follow eachother anymore)
oh no way?! Is it still up?! Gonna go rummage for that, it’s true though 😂

I really like CBHC tbh she doesn’t give a fuuuck and has a nice little biz / tbh life. She’s the only one of that set that isn’t an #influencer though which is probably why she’s still normal...

Mate THIS. I’ve always found the sex work stuff really hard to swallow from her, I’m not a SWERF there’s a lot to say about the whole thing that I won’t get into here, but...... it’s really easy to advocate for these things when your kids will never be in that position. Jemima will be a social media manager for Vice or something, so she’s fine? They always talk about a small % of sex workers active on Twitter and not the fact care leavers / DV and other abuse survivors are hugely over represented in SW populations. I think it was around that era I unfollowed her because she hasn’t a clue.

I've missed something here (sorry) but who is Jenny Tighe? I kind of remember Bethany being pals with her but that's about it. Also feel sorry for Charlotte - BPD sounds bleeping horrible, and she is hilarious.

Who hasn’t CharlotteBHC fallen out with?

I knew you were my people, HTRIA ❤

I feel exactly this. I'm all for safe working conditions for sex workers, and decriminalisation, and creating support networks wherever possible. No judgement on career choice.

But I just don't think I can be cool about a society where I'm supposed to think it's fiiiiiiiine that men can consume women as products and that's sound? And don't structures in which traditionally female skills (caring; teaching; nursing) earn significantly less than male skills (carpentry or whatever tit) and are valued less force women into the sex industry? And that's before we even consider trafficked women (AND CHILDREN)? And apparently that means my politics are bad?

I dunno, I despair. But you're right, people like BR will never really have to worry about that.

A cross thread frau moment, I love it!

YEP completely agree with everything you've said. Something that always felt...icky...that that lot shared would be oh you're working in an office for a man 9-5 and you think we're oppressed~? Like it's the ultimate GOTCHA moment?! No love but you studied English Lit at SOAS or wherever the duck you went after Alleyn's and now you've a lifestyle business spanking rich men from a flat in Holborn which is fabulous for you, like you can't compare that to a woman who (like you rightly pointed out!) is desperate or trafficked and turns to sex work through lack of choice.

That whole circle of SW Twitter feels so self congratulatory and like it's missing so many important voices but they're too busy selling books on their experiences to care about that? A bit like JM. Twitter has really created some monsters hasn't it haha, you're right though there's no discussion allowed around any of these things else it's dogpiling & doxing etc :( !

The other thing is that all the big SW Twitter accounts she fangirls over are all extremely conventionally attractive (and slim), as well as being educated and social media literate. It's a minor point in amongst all the ludicrous beefing, but always seemed like a bit of a blind spot.

I do like her overall, but I really detest her selfie face. Little pursed mouth, dry with liquid lipstick... makes me shudder! Just pose naturally lass

I think she’s really pretty but that pose is so annoying. Sometimes her lips remind of of a cats bum hole.

I also think she is slightly hypocritical given that she’s done the whole “duck flattering” thing (quite rightly - why should plus-size people have to disguise or choose “flattering” clothes to hide themselves away).

She constantly does the pouty face and chooses a certain camera angle at all times which does make her appear slimmer - rarely a proper full “front on” image.
