I think most people on here know what happened with me and being blocked by Carrie but if you're new here, I'll explain it again.
I was a huge Carrie fan for a few years. I was slowly loosing interest in her mainly due to her attitude and behaviours in early 2018. However, I still enjoyed her content and would make excellent for her as I liked her still
A friend of mine kindly gifted me a signed copy of her book as I was too ill to attend the signing. I was so over the moon about it, I tweeted and tagged her in a photo expressing my gratitude and was met with silence. I was hurt at the time as she was currently exchanging cross words with someone. Whereas I was ignored.
I won't go into my reasons for disliking Carrie but that didn't help.
Her comments when London went into tier 4 were incredibly insensitive. Everywhere else in the UK has been effected badly with closures of theatres. BUT as soon as her show ended, she was full of rage and snippy comments. Rightly, she was called out saying a lot of theatres have been closed a lot longer than London, she never said a word about that. Only until her precious show was closed. No sympathy toward Oliver who has been out of work for a while.
She had the audacity to complain about loosing her job despite openly stating that she would ignore emails and turn down jobs throughout the first lockdown. Highly insensitive to those, like me, on the frontline, lost their jobs and working from home.
I called her up on it and was blocked. Yet, I was berated by her loyal fans that I was being unfair and mean. (Not being ageist here but a lot were very young, not effected by work at all)
I never said anything nasty, said it exactly how it is. She couldn't even argue with me, just chose the cowardice option and blocked me.
I understand blocking those who harrass you or belittle you but Carrie needs to be held accountable for being the way she is. The fact she gets away with it is shameful. I am hopeful that Cinderella flops because she needs a reality check.
What drew me to Carrie was the down to earth nature and how normal she appeared to be. Come 2017 she's become a victim of her own hype and has turned into a nasty piece of work.
I'm glad she's finally being called out and I hope it continues!
