Wowww I didn’t know Lauren had a thread and it took me a while to read through it.

Back in the day I spent a couple of years travelling the world and built an instagram on it which gained a fairly decent amount of followers. It was not at all on the scale of Jack and Lauren but I did spend a lot of time in Bali and back then saw Lauren and Jack regularly.

It’s interesting reading people’s thoughts on their relationship because their relationship was fake for years. They got together and spent a year with eachother before deciding they didn’t want to be together. However they kept it going for the instagrams. They knew people followed them for their relationship.

Jack was the master of the content; he knew people didn’t want to see his face so kept it out, he used Lauren as the model. It gained him more followers and more jobs, the brands liked having Lauren in the content but she was never any good at travelling alone or taking her own pictures.

They created businesses together and their relationship was part of this business.

Lauren got together with liam and wanted to end it. Liam was not a rebound because Jack and Lauren finished their relationship YEARS prior. Btw they also completely orchestrated the story about being stalked around the world and copied by that girl. The girl in the story was their friend who travelled with them, they made a fake story to the press that this couple copied everything they did, this was for publicity and more followers

The reason Jack and Lauren fell out when they ‘broke up’ is not because either was in love with eachother, it’s because they knew their businesses relied on a fake relationship and it was stressful breaking it up. They were happy to agree to keep their joint businesses as usual but then Jack went and made a separate preset business without telling Lauren which pissed her off. He did this because Lauren pushed to end the fake relationship because she wanted to be with Liam publically

Jacks gf knows Lauren and he were long over which is why it doesn’t bother her when they spend time together. Their relationship genuinely is completely platonic. They are friends again (they made up after the preset dramas) and continue to look after the dogs and the businesses together.

Now, I find Lauren’s life these days a little sad. I quit instagram due to a health diagnosis and also when I had my daughter. Lauren does not want babies etc but she does want a relationship and she struggles without one. She is ultra thin because she is taking drugs regularly, as are many of her friends.

Her life is empty, except for the dogs (that she keeps abandoning), she is most likely a little depressed. She travels to run away. Her relationship with her sister is not what it used to be, Ellie is a mother and a wife and her family is her priority, Lauren struggles with this and it’s caused tension between the twins.

Jack and Lauren have made millions over the years, they want for nothing and don’t need to do instagram ads anymore. They have a lot of investments in different businesses which makes them thousands upon thousands of pounds a month

Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake quitting instagram, I think about how much money I would have made had I kept at it (Jack used to earn over £50k for one instagram post). But then I remember, many of the travellers you see are running away, they aren’t happy, they are empty. I look at my daughter and remember what is important.

Jack and Lauren only care about people with followers. I haven’t heard from them in over two years despite being in regular contact with them both. They both know I have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and have never reached out to even say are you ok. One day they will be 50 and whilst they will have some great travels under their belt and money in the bank, they won’t have anyone that truly loves them

Heyy!

So I've been living in Bali for almost a year now, and I'm in a lot of Facebook/Whatsapp groups for the community.

Recently Lauren has been getting a lot of criticism for the parties she's throwing at Nanuku House, as the house is in a residential area and she's blasting loud music and disturbing local residents.

Apparently a neighbour complained to her management/her about the noise and she gave a very rude response, basically saying she didn't care about the complaint because she 'has a business to run' and there's nothing residents can do because she paid off the Banjar to get permission for the parties. (Banjar are basically members of the local community who take care of laws for that area, kind of like a village council. Unfortunately if you have money you can persuade them to turn a blind eye to certain things, which is clearly what Lauren has done.)

The posts have gained a lot of attention and a lot of the local residents and community are very angry with her, some are suggesting to report her to the police or immigration to check if her 'business' is legal. She hasn't responded but she did reply to some comments calling her out on her recent post trying to defend herself.

I will try to screenshot the original post with names crossed out so you can see exactly what was said. The poster didn't name Lauren but she posted a video of the villa to show how noisy it was from her home and obviously a lot of people recognized the house

For some reason I always got the vibe that Liam was the one who ended the relationship, and that is what may have triggered the crazy weight loss. Doesn't seem like she'll ever say why it ended though.
If you look at pictures from 12 months ago, it’s like looking at a different person. She’s obviously not eating enough and still doing a lot exercise.
I think Lauren ended it with Liam and is only now grieving over her relationship with Jack, which she never did as moved on straight away. Just my theory.

Not convinced Lauren is as great as she makes out. Watching Ellie’s new Q&A vlog and one of the questions was how is Lauren doing and Ellie said that she wasn’t going to answer it. There must be concern for Lauren if someone is asking how she is doing in Ellie’s Q&A and also if all was well and she was doing great/ living her best life as Lauren makes out then why not just answer it or say that. There must be stuff going on in the background.

This is the original post!
Wow - thanks for sharing! Really shows how self absorbed she is in her own world.
Very little care for the country she lives in and their community/culture.
Basically just another rich white privileged influencer thinking they’re above everyone.

She's an absolute horror at the moment. I don't think I can follow for much longer.

That bum wiggle dance was disgustang.

She needs to read the room with what the world is going through right now... I saw on her comments someone had commented on the price of that apartment in mykinos, it was over 1k a night and Hayley commented back that they were shocked when they found out too.... Really!? Couldnt have been that much of a surprise if I'm honest.

She can't be happy, like truly happy, or even slightly happy, she's flitting from one country to the next, traveling on her own, getting pissed, no stability in her life, her successful and talented ex has moved on, shes had another failed relationship (and yes she looked happy with Liam but it's because she is so desperate to settle down so she tried to convince everyone, including herself, that it was right, when it wasnt), a sister happily settled in Aus with children and a stable hubby and friends living the life Lauren wants.

Shes 30, people do this in their early 20s it's sad, I'd feel a bit sorry for her if she wasn't dancing about half naked, rubbing her extraordinary wealth, (bum and fake tits) and luck in everyone's faces at a time when people can't afford to pay their gas bills, and generally being the cause of her own problems.

She literally offers nothing positive to the world, its fast fashion, excessive air miles, wild luxury and all about her her her, its just gross to watch now, times have changed and she hasn't...

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggghhhhhhhh jeeze that's been waiting a long time to get off my chest 🤣🤣😭

I think the same, I believe she had a boring lock down with Jack and the flame dulled, when things opened up she went back out on the town, met foreign and mysterious Liam, fell in lust and finished things with Jack without a moment to pause.

It was all interesting and amazing with Liam until she realised they weren't compatible long term and she'd made a massive mistake leaving Jack so quickly

Coincidentally Lauren and liams break up happened right after Lauren and Jack were in Italy together on the same campaign - by then it was too late Jess flew into Italy after the promo work and Lauren flew home alone and finished it with Liam.

Maybe she talked to Jack there or hoped he would see she was now single and come back but he didn't because he's moved on....

Now she's gutted, processing her sadness about it and the new girl is in her country, her town, her house, with her ex boyfriends family for xmas, hugging her dog and she's alone heart broken.

She'd be better off heading back to Australia and surrounding herself with family and old friends and concentrating on making herself better rather that remaining in Bali where the source of her pain is and posting thirst shots while making herself more and more ill

That's my theory anyway 😅

He's insufferable, she's insufferable. I guess it's how the rich perceive climate breakdown? Unlucky, an inconvenience to their plans.
Hurricane Ian devastated livelihoods. For them, it's unlucky because they didn't get to see pretty water.
F*** them honestly

Lauren flew economy to Europe after ages 😳 Since so many years i have only seen her posting photos from business on her long haul trips. Seems brand sponsorship have truly died who used to pay for her and her poor Bf Liams business seats.

She is so conscious of her image that she skipped posting any inflight photos & videos as she was NOT flying business like she does on every trip. Little did she know her sister will reveal her economy class travel 😂

Considering she is paying for all her travel now and no one is sponsoring her she has stopped taking Liam around the world like the time they just started dating and has just turned him into glorified house help to look after her pets who she can also bang.

To be fair, Lauren doesn't have any other content these days, it's either an ad or rubbing her new relationship into everyone's face.

I'm always surprised her thread on here is so quiet, she is such a mean girl and doesn't offer anything of value. But she must be raking in the money, her travel plans for this year and her lifestyle in general ain't cheap!
I think her thread is so quiet because she’s just so boring now. If it’s not a story or her dry humping Liam it’s an undisclosed 5 minute long ad about how to make a protein bowl or zebra print cycling shorts.
You can tell jack’s content is thought out and careful. His main thread is well shot travel images and mostly educating you about the places he’s traveled, as opposed to Lauren’s which are now just photo dumps of her arse and pictures we’ve already seen on stories with a preset over the top of it - it’s lazy, boring, and how she’s taking in money still is mind boggling.
It’s interesting Lauren doesn’t seem to have many travel opportunities anymore - I think she’s just had the aperol spritz one(?) and has to self fund the rest of her trips herself. Whereas Jack has plenty still. Again, showing you who has the real talent/business mind.

On a side note, did anyone notice her mention a joint bank account with herself and Liam when talking about the proof of relationship for his visa? The guys won the lottery meeting her 😂

I watched Elsa's wholesome life's (Ellie) latest Q&A vlog and she alluded to their relationship perhaps been strained due to the different stages of life they're both in? she also made an interesting comment about Lauren perhaps not ever returning to Aus to live and maybe never having children/the family life as she does so I can see how some of this aligns to what you've said @Doherty557.

Whilst I typically enjoy Ellie's content, some of the things she said in it, were triggering. Whilst sitting in her million $ rental home, she talks about building a new house (knock down/rebuild - millions $$), she has ordered a defender (100k?) AND a tesla (100k?) and is thinking about planning a last minute holiday to Europe ($$$), she also reflected on her 20s and wondered if she'd done too much too soon because of all her successes. I think these influencers need a reality check (I dunno how, maybe not share so much and be humble?) as it comes across as out of touch, when some of us are struggling at the moment due to the cost of living crisis, which they seem to be completely unaffected by 🥲

I'm really struggling to see how a celebratory post about a new house needs a porn style picture of her squeezing her tits together? Thirsty AF, perhaps the followers are dropping because her contents gone to shit?

Bit of weak tea...my daughter, who lives in Bali is home on holiday. Got talking about life on Bali and saying how she'd donated some of her clothes to Kynd community which I've noticed a few influencers mention....turns out she knows a few influencers through Kynd and her work ( in fashion) and she's even met Lauren a few times socially! ...says she was perfectly pleasant but v skinny and goes to a gym local to her and is obsessed with exercise
however Jack is as dull as ditchwater and very boring and they'd split up ages ago . She'd then been going out with Liam and then dumped him for someone called Ben who she was friends with ....but has been back with Liam for some time

I get the distinct sense they both think they are above influencing, but reality is, aside from their pre-set business (I mean, come on), they need the income.
I feel the same, they’ve both moved onto other investments such as property etc and do the odd ad here and there/accept every freebie. They’ll never leave SM though, they both love themselves too much to say goodbye to the validation they receive on there

We have to remember social media has given completely numpty people an odd sense of power. Jack was a cleaner, and while I recognize their role in society, he probably isn't very smart. Lauren was a dental assistant. None of them are particularly intelligent people, they're just vapid
