Binky Felstead

[Stixandstones]

I'm the member that Marbles was talking about. I deleted that account after my apology, and hadn't come back on here since, but was curious last night and did. I can't believe it blew up the way it did! I know most people want to move on, and so do I, but after reading all the other comments from her I just wanted to clarify what really happened as I feel she completely misunderstood the situation and did blow it quite a bit out of proportion.

When I saw India, it was a street away from the school, which is the main thoroughfare for all foot and vehicle traffic. It wasn't at the school gate at all, which she kept repeating in every reply she made about it. I had parked my car and was walking to school to pick up my child when I spotted the woman with the buggy and dog walking towards me first, then a child walking quite far behind her. As they got closer and passed by me, that's when I recognised the child as India. I continued down the street, turned the corner, then saw the ice-cream van parked on the street that the school is actually on.

I feel as though her interpretation of it was me at the school gate in large sunglasses, a wig and a trench coat, holding binoculars with the sole purpose of spying on an innocent child to report back all my findings to everyone here and that's not what it was at all. It was just a passing moment while I was on the school run.

I do understand and respect Marbles view that I probably shouldn't have commented at all, and I won't be commenting on anything else I may witness in future, but what I don't understand is her continuously calling my actions vile, as that is a very strong word that I would personally use to describe much worse actions than that.

Anyway, sorry to everyone for bringing this back up again and thanks to those that understood my intentions.

Back to regularly scheduled programming now...

Begging again…
It’s actually pathetic.

Fucking hell. You could go to the thousands and thousands of places not affected by Zika - but no, it has to be a remote island resort thousands of miles away, oh, and gifted so they don’t pay a penny. It makes me enraged!!

I think that gender reveal is awful on so many levels. Doing it for Hello/the money. Telling India at the same time as everyone else and in front of so many other people and then putting it online. She's her daughter, no doubt she had some inkling that India wasn't going to take the news of a baby brother too well so she could have handled it a bit more sensitively. Kids have these reactions and they then become funny family stories down the line but I don't think it's right to use it to boost engagement.

 

[horsey1234]

I’m normally a lurker but wanted to say that this is just everything that is wrong with the influencer industry. Her son is blue lighted to hospital and she just sees it as an opportunity to boost her engagement. The poor kid. The whole thing is disturbing.

 

[iz10101]

I think it’s particularly gross filming young kids having tantrums/meltdowns and putting it online for everyone to see. That’s out there forever now and showing kids in that vulnerable state is so off.
All kids will have these meltdowns especially at that age, and they can’t consent to having it out there for millions to see. India probably won’t thank her for it when she’s older. Bit different to having a private funny memory or clip just for family to see.

I could really do without opening Instagram and seeing this smug cow rubbing her free luxury holiday in everyone's faces. What an absolute leech.

I know hotels and holiday companies think it's good publicity to gift influencers holidays, but the minute I see #gifted on a holiday post I'm instantly put off that they dish out holidays to grabby wannabes who have more than enough money to pay.

 

[Greencatfysh]

Exactly and telling someone it’s vile when they mention it is out of order…in my opinion!

And slightly over dramatic when we’re all on a forum that discusses and criticises other humans…

 

[Nuttyzebra]

Binky if you read here, please for the love of your louboutins please stop begging for free stuff. Its not really sitting well with those who watch your stories. There's this thing called a living crisis going on at the moment. I know it hasn't touched you in your Chelsea million pound house with your nannies, plus other numerous staff, 6 figure earning banker husband and your general golden lifestyle. You're looking tacky, cheap and tbh a bitch.

Spot the #gift

I live near Binky and work with kids so I see her around a lot. Once I saw her and JP at the pond and JP’s dog fell in the pond

That... was not the ending I was expecting.

 

[NannyMcPhee123]

My child actually goes to the same school and went to the same nursery as India so I see them all the time.

Maybe I can be this thread's secret spy

 

[Gillybean42]

When Binky and JP were on Made in Chelsea, I liked Binky but couldn’t stand JP. I don’t follow him on Instagram but I do follow Binky and if u didn’t watch Chelsea u would never know that Binkys husband isn’t Indias dad. From what I gather, JP has India regularly so to act like he doesn’t exist is pretty disgusting. And she encourages people to think her hubby is Indias dad by saying things like Daddies home, so that’s even worse and really offensive to JP and his family.

 

[Freedomofspeech89]

I can’t believe that poor little boy is so fresh out of the womb he literally has bodily fluids all over him, and she already has him plastered all over the media/internet. It’s a really sad reflection of the world we live in today.

 

[Smurf72]

You're 100% right. I didn't mean any harm or malice at all. It was more just to show that she's a "normal" child that reacts the same as any other would in the same situation, but I completely understand your point and apologise for my comments. I would hate to know that complete strangers were commenting on my child's behaviour regardless of whether I share their life publicly, or not.
Thank you for calling me out on it. I appreciate it and won't be commenting any more.

I honestly don’t think you’ve said anything unacceptable and do you know what if people commented on my child’s behaviour behind my back then so what! Don’t feel you can’t comment anymore!

 

[Notaninstamumeither]

To be honest, I’d say it’s more a reflection on Binky bad choices that people recognise her daughter and school sufficiently to be able to comment.

 

[Emmadale]

To add to my post, he is insanely hot

And Max is not

 

[Greencatfysh]

It's one thing to criticise Binky and her choices, she's put her life out there but I think as adults we should refrain from commenting on children or their behaviour. They have a right to their privacy even if their own parents choose not to respect it.

It's not right, and for a mother in a school to comment online about witnessing a childs behaviour at the school gate is really vile tbh.

Also, just to point out the first rule of Tattle:

No moderating. If there's a post you don't like either keep scrolling, add the user to your ignore list or report.

 

[BrownEyedGirl]

Omg!
The pics of her with the paramedics and her kid
Sorry but I’d love to know how she asked for that pic, like hun your son nearly died and you want a pic for the gram….ffs u have to laugh

 

[Gillybean42]

Exactly .
Absolutely no shame-and her fucking annoying voice. It’s actually disgusting,as if they couldn’t afford swimming lessons. And what are these kids going to grow up like? Their whole existence is in front of a phone.

How nice would be it if she actually refused the free swimming lessons but said please gift them to a child in need and I’ll advertise u on my Instagram. No wonder all these people are rich…. They don’t pay for anything

 

[Toad in the Hole]

A very good friend of mine knows JP and he talks non stop about India. He absolutely adores her. He never says Binky’s name just refers to her as ‘my ex’ or “India’s mum’. He follows her on Instagram but has her account muted so he doesn’t have to see her posts. He’s not perfect but does seem like a nice dad
