Fixed it!
Same, I am older and struggled with my sexuality for years, and to see her be so flippant, tone- deaf, and deliberately obtuse was a LOT. Still is. I really do think that might be what turned me from casual dislike to full on loathing.Oh my god saaaaaaaame, I almost joined the forum over this at the time (had been a casual lurker for a while but this made me see red!) As an actual real-life bisexual I almost flipped a table. So tone-deaf.
All I got from that blog post is that she compared someone coming out and being accepted by their parents to her mum approving a dress that she wants to buy. Such a terrible analogy, if someone’s parents don’t accept their sexuality they can’t just try on another one.Haha, no, she never did. I hope some of her LGBT friends (like Rob or Scott or someone else?) corrected her, or that some of people's comments made her rethink, because a few months or years(?) later, she changed her wording to something a lot more palatable in that blog post so that it doesn't mention the "word" heteroflexible, but wonders aloud if what she is describing counts as being on the LGBT spectrum anywhere ("Now, I'm not gay. I’ve kissed/been attracted to few girls in my brief existence, so I’m not sure if or where I fall on the LGBT+ spectrum anywhere? So, i don’t have a coming out story and I can't imagine what that conversation is like."). http://www.carriehopefletcher.com/2018/03/when-i-am-parent-response-to-love-simon.html?m=1
Attaching screenshots of a great comment under the blog post. Calling her out for using heteroflexible in a really calm, clear, respectful way. The poor fan would probably still have been blocked if they'd commented that on Instagram, though
She’s obviously embarrassed but has she had to post something because it’s in her contract?View attachment 2346674
I would be so embarrassed to post this after the abundance of 1 and 2 star reviews.
Thanks for sharing this! What a great response from that fan, I would like to say Carrie learned from that but I am positive she absolutely didn’t.Haha, no, she never did. I hope some of her LGBT friends (like Rob or Scott or someone else?) corrected her, or that some of people's comments made her rethink, because a few months or years(?) later, she changed her wording to something a lot more palatable in that blog post so that it doesn't mention the "word" heteroflexible, but wonders aloud if what she is describing counts as being on the LGBT spectrum anywhere ("Now, I'm not gay.

YES this is exactly what rubbed me up the wrong way! It's such a weird comparison to make, and a blatantly obvious attempt at steering the conversation towards herself and her experience. Trying on clothes and coming out are absolutely not the same thing, it's so incredibly out of touch. I know it was a few years ago now, but I don't think she's changed much since thenAll I got from that blog post is that she compared someone coming out and being accepted by their parents to her mum approving a dress that she wants to buy.

Should've told him his wife is hetroflexibleThis very topic reminded me that I screenshotted something back when Joel used the Pride hashtag to praise his straight relationship during pride month and never shared it here because we moved away from it at the time. But in the comments when people were rightly calling him out, someone comfortably said ‘neither of them are part of the LGBTQ+ community’ and neither Joel nor Carrie (or any other fans for that matter) corrected them, but Joel did respectfully change it. Guess it’s not so important for her to claim she’s part of the queer community in any kind of half-arsed way now that’s she’s married to a straight man and playingshitstraight roles

That's probably what the marketing team are going for, Al & Mel are the only positives in the show so they focus on themFunny how she uses the pic of Al Murray and Mel as they were the only ones that have had anything complimentary said about them in the majority of the reviews. Talk about a copy and paste promo.
The confidence they had in this to plan an entire tour with it is amazing, looking at the reviews. Something went seriously wrong and they must have genuinely thought they had a hit on their hands?!That's probably what the marketing team are going for, Al & Mel are the only positives in the show so they focus on them
I refuse to believe they will take this on tour
I’ll bet that’s off the back of her doing panto in Canterbury. They’ll probably count on lots of people who went and saw that coming back to see the CJ.I went to the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury this weekend and they had a flag on the side of the building promoting The Crown Jewels … with only Carrie’s face on it. I thought it was a strange choice as she’s not the biggest name in this but guess you’ve got to target the younger audience who buy tickets for everything she’s in.
Tiktok links show your account, so you have to post the link into an incognito tab and then copy it from there to share it on tattleSaw a pretty balanced review on tiktok of Crown Jewels from someone called max shetland theatre, who seemed to agree with a lot of what's been said on here. Carrie's songs seem to be completely unnecessary and there for her to bark and park.
Edit: had to remove the link as it doesn't work on here - not sure how to upload on tattle!
