Constance Hall Barefoot boganhemian 👑

Interesting that she posted a story last night revealing the custody situation with the kid’s dad. He seemed like a very loving and dedicated father and he fought to get shared custody of them. Obviously he lost the battle, I can’t see him being the type to give up on the kids so I wonder why she is shaming him by saying that it’s sad they won’t have a relationship with their dad and that “she does it all”…

I feel like a lot of what she says atm is kind of shading denim… that whole story gave me those vibes but I may be wrong.
She definitely insinuated bill doesn’t see the kids too, but also alluded to not being able to talk about that so I think court stuff is probably ongoing.
Where is denims younger son?

Why wouldn't he have got shared custody? That seems unusual!

It wouldn’t surprise me if she pulled something revolting like faking domestic violence to get what she wanted

Good! I had a feeling she would be found to be in the wrong.

Me too. Now I'm wondering about legal costs. I suspect Constance may have to pay their legal bills too.

“Finally, I would add that the blog which led to this litigation was not tendered in evidence (others were) and therefore I have been spared the time of having to read it,” the judge said.

“Whether this is a missed opportunity I will never know.”

I’ve just read the majority of the documents and the issues surrounding this court case and oh my god Constance completely stuffed these two ladies over (sisters).

They agreed to create a website for her and manage it for 12 months and she would need to post 2-3 times a week to attract clicks on the website. They had advertising on the website and Constance and the ladies would each split the revenue 50/50. Constance initially did the 2-3 blogs a week then was writing her book and she stopped writing blogs as much. Hired a lady to get submissions from the public to put on the website. Stopped wanting to blog and basically was focussing on her book. Told the sisters to stop communicating with her. The website ended up being a failure as she stopped writing articles and Constance created a seperate website of her own.

This was my favourite part:

that judge needs his own blog, that is gold

 

[savefloss]

She was so stupid because if she actually fulfilled her contractual obligations then she would have yielded a decent amount in those early mommy blogger days

 

[Bohemiskeye]

Having read the docs it’s clear she didn’t know what she was doing, she wanted to monetise her brand straight away but didn’t want to constantly write about herself and churn out content. Clearly her friends would have had more technical understanding. Crazy that she just simply stopped and started writing a book, seems all very disingenuous and basically unfair she didn’t compensate them properly when she could have. I think chaos is part of her… it’s interesting she didn’t want to endorse products but her whole presence is essentially her label now.

Chaos and obviously drugs. Just sayin

Not a day goes by when she isn’t releasing the bEsT sHiRt ever that flatters everyone form size 2 to 2000 and looks like something from Millers tbh.

What about her latest AmAzInGggg headbands? Seriously you can them them from Kmart for $3!

Yes I agree! Seems like she was focused on writing and self publishing her book instead.

Bargain price of $24.95 and you too could look this good

 

[whathappenedtotherabbit]

She acts like she’s saving the world. It’s a bleeping headband ffs

 

[Michy02]

I still think she writes good copy and makes it all sound way more appealing than it is

She would have raked it in as a proper mummy influencer back in the day. She still seems to have really good reach and engagement. I guess I should appreciate her integrity on that or something

In the documents she said she couldn’t be bothered writing for the blog lol. Wanted it to run like Mamamia with her writing monthly like Mia and having Queentributions basically providing most of the content

 

[Bohemiskeye]

Her friend works at Mamamia…I have no idea who millers are tbh, being in the UK. But yeah I’ve noticed her clothes are getting more and more frilly…
Full disclosure I definitely read her book, met her and me and my pal had her bumper stickers. She was actually great for us both at that particular time in our lives. We also met denim while there and were underwhelmed. He was wearing no shoes which … fine, but we were in Bristol. He was pretty rude! As I said I was going through some pretty awful relationship stuff and later that year I started listening to her podcast/radio show? Remember feeling gutted when she got pregnant. Her husband gives bad vibes. My friend who was I guess you’d say a ‘queen’ with me and she recently said she thought she’d had a tummy tuck. I’m not convinced now but it’s definitely made me take a more critical look at things.
She donates to that charity which I do think is wonderful but I must admit parts of it are giving white saviour vibes.
I don’t understand why she isn’t or wasn’t living in her house.
Surely she good have taken all that book content and made it into blogs, with the potential for a book afterwards. Shows how unprepared she was. I agree she could have been killer in the mom-fluencer sphere, but seems she tried to keep some Integrity but quickly sold out in other ways anyway!

Out of interest - what was it about her that appealed to you? I'm not her (or prob your) age group or demographic and to me she's always seemed dirty and swanky and not affluencial at all. It always amazed me she had a following.

 

[Michy02]

I had a baby when she got well known and I just couldn’t believe that she was so feral and dirty. I couldn’t relate to her and even though I thought she made some good points it seemed like this “Queen” thing was just a fantasy. Her marriage was on the rocks due to many factors and I doubted her legitimacy and stories.

Millers is like an old ladies clothing store. For grandmas.

I think at the time there were these picture perfect IG mums and then she came in with her No Fu@ks given attitude and it resonated with a lot of mums.
