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 love your icon

Sorry to derail the Bethany thread but Alice doesn't have a thread (?) and she's always posting these snarky subtweets which drive me mad 💀 Either name the author or just keep it to your DMs!
Which book it is ? She just read one page, like literally judging a book by its cover.

I don't agree with you both on this point.
I wasn't a fat kid either at all. Most fat adults I know weren't fat kids. And almost everybody can lose weight, especially easy when you're young!
If you get fat again (and gaining more eventually because she's obese, not just overweight), you're doing the yo yo and something is out of control (due to genetics, mind, behaviour, hormones, health reasons or whatever the reason or mix of reasons).
She doesn't need to be obese to be relevant in the BOPO world. I'm sure she would love us to think that she's in control but I just don't buy it.

She hates when people lose weight and sees it as a personal attack. This has been well documented!
Even tho she dropped loads of weight herself at one point

I honestly think a lot of these plus size influencers just pretend to like being fat for the cash and that’s it

It’s very disturbing that she’s posting all these cheerful insta stories at the moment when she must have heard about this. They were pretty good friends and tweeted each other all the time, and were flatmates for ages. Of course you can’t know what she’s feeling about the situation but why not just post nothing?
She really is an oddball.



I would like to know what happened with her and Ruby Tandoh tbh
Omg same...

I wonder if we are seeing her shock and grief through these bizarre tweets, I don’t ever recall her being so bouncy and upbeat before and she is using capital letters a lot and having an earring sale and stuff. I’m thinking that she is in very deep shock and maybe guilt, if her friendship with DW ended poorly and was never repaired, and is acting out to distract herself from that?

Oooh! I used to follow BR on Twitter when I still went over there and was actually due to go to DOMO a few times but never happened for one reason or another. Who was the chubby-chaser guy? I remember she had some super obnoxious-seeming Scandi bf for a time and was always making a huge deal of how this really hot guy fancied her. Wasn't he a fair bit older as well? I did not get good vibes off that dude.
 
The below is a direct cut and paste from an article in the Daily Mirror

That’s because in July, Public Health England estimated that having a BMI of 35 to 40 increases a person’s risk of dying from Covid by 40 per cent. For those with a BMI of 40 or higher, the risk of dying was 90 per cent.
I’m a perpetually exhausted new mum so please forgive me for being dim - is that saying that 90% of people who get covid with a BMI of over 40 die? Or the risk increases by 90%? x

Is Melly still friends with Bethany? I recall them being quite outspoken about wealthy people who clearly get ahead because of their money but never really disclose that? (If I remember correctly, I might be mixing them up with someone else) And that is definitely Bethany to a T!
I don't pay much attention to Bethany's posts (only so much earring content I can take!) so I'm not sure if they're still friends but they do still follow each other on instagram.

I lurk a little bit on the plus size threads but I quite like them all so dont tend to comment 😂 - it's only Poppy ive got an issue with really. I followed Bethany as we used to look quite similar so it was quite handy to see what types of clothes she had etc but she's changed quite a bit so not so much anymore.

I dont think I ever followed her in her hairy (lol!) days though - I found her when she was quite put together working at navabi and really liked her. I'm going to google now as im intrigued!

100% this. Bethany is incredibly privileged. Can you imagine her working in a care home while grafting to get her debut book noticed?
Merely 'being privileged' is not a reason for someone's achievements to be downplayed. She comes from a middle class background, yes, but she still has worked for what she has. She isn't like a member of the Royal Family or the aristocracy who is going to inherit vast wealth and acres of land. She is middle class, not super rich. I don't understand the resentment at her, or are only people that came from very rough backgrounds allowed any praise for their achievements?

She’s from a wealthy family. Probably bankrolled to some degree I’d imagine. Wonder if her husbands family are wealthy too? They bought a flat in London, so definitely not without means.
Pretty sure they rent their flat, not own it. Or at least i think that's what she's said before.
