Maybe I’m being cynical, but do you think this talk of mental health and seeking engagement is because she’s going to release another ad soon?
I think she is feeling rotten for the reasons above. She feels trapped because she knows if she puts up another cat fish photo then it will be commented on. The more we comment here, the higher tattle is up on google searches for everyone to ref about this. But she can’t work out how to transition this. This is making her feel panicked and anxious.
I think what will happen is we will get - “Trolls have been body shaming me in the internet ( Um. No. You have been body shaming yourself and anyone else who is your size. But let’s gloss over that). So I am now going to be “real” and raw and just post myself as I am. I am doing it all for you - my lovely followers”.
We will be lead to believe that the “real” photos are actually highly unflattering ones but it will acclimatise to what the true picture actually is going forward. Shark will no doubt breathe a gigantic sigh of relief if this can be pulled off as it must be melt down central.
The long and short of it is that this is not an account that has longevity. There is no unique niche. In 3 - 5 years, I would not expect to see Charlotte still influencing so if she can get another 2 years or so out of it, that will be doing well
This is a sad but fascinating post. Swap the words “mental health” for “weight” and it’s all there. “Mental health” issues are the symptom. Weight/dishonesty/fear of rejection is the cause
