I don’t believe that story. I think she didn’t want to be called something as normal as Hannah and Dolly works with her 1960s guitar girl fantasies.
I do think it's shitty to directly send someone something criticising them though.Even her acknowledgement of the criticism comes across as snooty and privileged.
I HATE this focus of a "natural" childbirth, there is no other medical procedure in which people would brag about not using painkillers, it is so bizarreI agree! And I don't think this is particularly a particularly new discussion either, other than Chrissy Teigen's strikingly raw photos. Plenty of other celebrities have spoken about baby loss and difficult pregnancies.
This reminds me of a discussion on the podcast a few weeks ago. They were talking about some celebrity who had said she was "proud" of the fact she'd given birth "naturally", and how this might affect other women. I thought that Dolly was far more sensitive and thoughtful in the discussion - she recognised that "pride" might not be the right word to use, given that childbirth is not something that most women have any control over. I certainly couldn't have chosen to have a "natural" birth - I needed an emergency C-section - so does that mean I'm a "failure"? Obviously not, but framing natural birth as something to be "proud" of risks this connotation.
Pandora didn't seem to get this, at least not as much as Dolly. I thought that was striking, given that Pandora is the one with children.
Also: "I've found myself recently grateful" - terrible wording! And what is going on with that first paragraph: word salad!
I agree. I think the Instagram cleanup was probably something that was recommended to her rather than something she chose to do herself. Either way it’s a bit whiffy.She really excelled at fashion, interiors and travel. Maybe she tried to pivot when she had children to content she felt had more longevity?
Was going to same the exact same.Pandora cannot take any type of criticism, constructive or not. I stopped following her on Twitter a while ago after she kept moaning whenever someone gave a slightly negative review to the High Low. She’d have an outburst of ranting tweets so the likes of India Knight could soothe her bruised ego by telling her how amazing she is. I’m not surprised she’s reacted like this over one less than glowing review.
That’s really interesting. Do you mind telling us where you are from?I like them both... their podcast keeps me entertained.
I can’t see too much how they are posh / privileged but I am not From England so I think it may be one of these nuances as A foreigner you struggle to understand
