I think her intention to rile her followers to come on here to defend her.
which, ultimately, will backfire, as if her followers end up her, whilst they may initially leap to her defence, those who actually read back through the previous thread will have their eyes opened - both to the issues with her behaviour in general, but also to the fact that she is blatantly lying and twisting the narrative, as the overwhelming majority of comments about Aurora and her struggles with breastfeeding etc were written out of concern, and encouraging her to formula feed etc, out of concern for her mental wellbeing, people hoping she would talk to a therapist etc - and absolutely nothing negative or nasty was ever written about her mum! it was mentioned that she lost her mother at the age of 19, there was nothing nasty about that statement. the criticism has been totally justified, and more about her prioritising content over bonding with her daughter, not spending time with the baby she has always dreamed of and palming her off on a nanny for the overwhelming majority of the day and night, plus all her blatant contradictions in her supposed message of body acceptance and the damage caused by edited photos on social media, while she regularly uses filters, goes out of her way to highlight body ideals/trends nobody had even heard of until she mentioned them - bikini bridges, anyone?! - while teaching people how to pose to look slimmer and exercising all her work outs and weight lifting sessions etc, despite telling other woman to focus on their babies and not feel pressure to change their bodies - yet doing the exact opposite and making other new mother's feel guilty in the process! equally, the way she has recently admitted to an audience - many of whom struggle with/have struggled with eating disorders - that she regularly poses with food for aesthetic purposes, but doesn't actually eat it! so sure, if she actually does direct her followers to tattle, it will ultimately do her more harm than good, as - after initial posts about tattlers being "bullies" which leap to Danae's defense - they will read back and have their eyes opened to get manipulation and deceit, and the totally hypocritical message her platform is based on.
also, if I were following an influencer who i really respected, and they started claiming they were being bullied and shared screenshots etc, but i then found out that every single example shared was taken from a gossip site that she was actively choosing to go and read, and then using those comments to play the victim card and claim she was being bullied, i would be utterly disgusted - and i am sure many of her followers will feel similarly. if she were receiving an onslaught of nasty messages being sent to her directly, i would have sympathy for her, because bullying is awful - but using the term "bullying" to refer to your own decision to seek out people's opinions of you that don't all think you are perfect and wonderful and inspirational, which you only have access to if you choose to seek it out and scroll through the comments - that's not bullying, and she will lose a lot of followers and support when she directs her audience to the source of the "bullying". she seems to think that this "pity me" approach is somehow going to boost her audience, when in actuality, i guarantee it will have the opposite impact.
