Em Clarkson #2

[MotherInferior43]

As a plus size woman (size 20) that’s battling a constant battle with weight my whole adult life, it sounds less genuine when someone of a size 10-12 gets on the case about body positivity and acceptance, I bet she’s never had to worry about where to shop for clothes, being constantly judged by others about her size and the battle in your head about why you can’t lose weight consuming you

Jeremy Clarkson told the world he was on mounjaro at the NTA’s last night.

 

[Clare]

Blarting on Lorraine about having to go to therapy about what some people posted on tattle. Cry me a fucking river!! Two threads on here the thinnest skin. Lorraine claiming she has no idea about this site. Yeah right, Lorraine! Bet she’s a secret Tattler herself

Agree with this completely. The crusades are also those she's heard about from other people, nothing is an original thought

Yep. Nothing she says is especially groundbreaking or controversial. She plays it safe to stay marketable. And at times she’s totally hypocritical which just shows how empty these soundbites are.

Eg she’ll talk about being a feminist and how money is important to feminism, but in the next post will post an ad for a fast fashion item, for a company that is run by men and pays its female factory workers a pittance.

She’ll keep telling us it’s fine to have a little weight, there’s no rush to loose baby weight. But will religiously run and workout and insist it’s all for health.

She’s a shallow woman, with shallow thoughts, for other shallow people who aren’t being honest with themselves about how shallow they are.

It’s not fair or nice that women with HE often have to limit their family size because of it, whether because of their own health or because of the horrendous impact on their families. But life isn’t fair or nice and she’s so lucky in so many ways. The fact that she’s planning another child is ABOMINABLY selfish to me. She’s said she’s been a shit mother to her eldest, and while I sympathise I think her eldest will indeed have suffered. She’ll be older and more observant still the next time. Em Clarkson has two healthy childre. Why risk her physical and mental health and her children’s happiness? Why give your eldest a full eighteen months of a seriously unwell mother when you simply don’t have to? If she’s that desperate for a third, adopt. Or even use a surrogate if you so choose.

“Sob sob life is so hard, vomiting from my healthy pregnancy, in my huge bathroom in my big house in a leafy central London zone paid for from unearned wealth and privilege cry cry but I’m happy I have a friend who visits just sad I can’t shout over them because that’s how I interact with people sob cry”

Her account is such a whiplash mix of big zany smiles that are meant to look so artless and spontaneous (babe, it’s not adorable and natural if you’ve got an arm sticking all the way out to take a photo of yourself gurning with your eyes shut) and obvious body checking eating disorder territory.

 

[AnonymousMumOf4]

I don’t think she’ll mention it! I don’t think she likes people knowing she a nepo baby

She never mentions him, it's almost like she is embarrassed by him (whilst no doubt enjoying the family cash).

I personally think it's wrong to assume that just because your parents helped you out, that Em's parents are doing the same.

tbf it’s consistent with how Em’s relationship with her parents (particularly her mum) seems to be. They both seem very overprotective of her - way beyond what is normal. And they are both wealthy people. It’s impossible to know how (or if) they help em financially but it is normal for wealthy people in a position to, to help their kids. It’s also entirely consistent with how they treat Em. And Em’s behaviour and attitude (read: entitlement) is consistent with someone who’s been propped up their entire life.

Jeremy himself has been vocal about nepotism and he may as well have said he’d pulled strings for Em. She got features in columns in the sun and other newspapers off the back of her association with her father, and her subsequent book deal. He has been known to plug Em which has helped her “career” no doubt.

her wedding was held on his farm and I think it’s fair to say as host, he’d probably financially helped a fair bit. Again, we can’t know for sure - but it’s obvious as a father he steps in to help Em significantly. If she was another random blogger, she wouldn’t have had that book deal.

And then her mum; who has form apparently, for fighting Emily’s battles on her behalf.

indeed, both Emily’s parents seem to infantilise her quite a bit (probably because she never demonstrated much promise at school by their own admission).

she was catfished by a girl online that, by all accounts, seems to have been someone who was very mentally troubled. Her parents (very disproportionately, IMO) got police, lawyers and private investigators involved to hunt down the person who’d been messaging Em down. They were happy to throw money at someone who had dared misled and tricked their previous Emily; so isn’t it fair to assume that they’d be happy to throw money at her too?

all of the above indicates parents who maybe cosset their adult daughter, and so it’s reasonable to conclude they financially help her.

she lives in a house in a nice area in fairly central London. it must be worth around a million at least. She wears higher end high street, gets beauty and spa treatments, attends expensive exercise classes, has expensive gym equipment in her home, and frequently travels/staycations. She also had a top end wedding with designer dress and expensive bridesmaids dresses from Halfpenny in London.

…but she’s a fairly small time influencer who had a bit of a mediocre book a few years ago, has a somewhat successful podcast and doesn’t really have huge collabs?

there’s no way she’s earning enough to afford that house and lifestyle. Alex will of course be on a salary as senior PR director, but according to glassdoor for the PHA group, directors earn ~£55k per year. Let’s be generous and assume he’s earning £65k because he’s “senior”… that’s still not enough to own a sizeable house. Most lenders will require at a minimum - a starting salary of £160k per year combined, for a mortgage of around £1mil.

so yeh, I’ll be shocked if Em and Alex got there on their own.

so if she wanted to take maternity leave she could.

I’m confused, what part of her day to day life doesn’t look like maternity leave?

she rocks up to record a podcast for what, an hour a week? Baby in tow?

she’s hardly doing a 9-5 and has gone straight back into work with important deadlines and stressful objectives. Her version of work is taking selfies and stories of her day. She’s not working and never truly has - she just pretends she does to seem relatable.

 

[Hastaggifted]

Isn't that what youre supposed to do with clothes?

 

[LoonyLeopard]

Ooooh here’s a load of pictures of me looking skinny, I’m going to jump on the first comment that says it though!

 

[katz2022]

Oh who is her dad?? Jeremy? wtf? That has completely passed me by!

 

[Bananabadger]

Omg back to work at 9 weeks!! How does she do it!!

A FULL TIME NANNY WE DO NOT SEE

 

[chickhicks86]

She's doing an awful lot of exercise for someone who was going to take post partum fitness slowly....

 

[hadtosayit88]

Worlds smallest violin playing for Emily Clarkson who is anxious because she’s going to try and do a long run today (as part of a paid ad with that running coach program). Seriously, get a real job with real anxieties

 

[lilchicken]

“I cannot breathe” says woman who has been talking to herself for five minutes straight without coming up for air.

I honestly think she’s nervous about this inheritance stuff with her dad in the news. He’s having the utter piss taken out of him (as he should). The woe-is-me spiel is likely so she doesn’t get dragged into the drama. Because it would reflect badly on her brand.

I wonder who is giving Em all this care? All these blood tests and iron infusions? Who is treating her HG? Where would she be admitted to if it got severe? The NHS her dad is determined to avoid paying his share towards.

worth nothing that it’s Em and her siblings who directly benefit from his tax avoiding, as he’s been explicit that he doesn’t want the “government” to get inheritance tax from him. Nevermind that it’s ostensibly the government paying for treating his hypochondriac daughter to bring his grandchildren into the world.

If she had a real job or had to juggle what normal people (ie not privileged to her degree and hold down standard jobs while raising children just to make ends meet) there is no way she would be able to cope - her generation seem to be so unable to deal with usual day to day stresses

I’m from the same generation and I can tell you it’s nothing to do with that

 

[dazzling_keys]

Influencers absolutely love preaching body acceptance and positivity from the comfort of their socially acceptable, easy-to-buy-clothes-for bodies . "Love yourself! If I can do it, anyone can!"

 

[carmencarmen]

Glad I’m not the only one who finds her Substack post baffling. She said her and her husband want a big family but at what cost to her health and relationship?

As others have said, those two girls will miss out on having their mum if she has another HG pregnancy and Arlo sadly already has had to watch her mum being sick for 9 months. Yes children are a blessing but if she knows she’s predisposed to HG it seems a bit off that she’s already wishing for a third child.

In her post she mentioned that she felt very low and had dark thoughts. She would see how her daughter “didn’t need her” because she had her dad and other family and friends. That made Em wonder if it would be better for everyone if she weren’t here. That’s horrible and must have been so upsetting but I can’t believe she’s willing to go through that again when the pressure will be higher as she’ll have two kids that are growing and thriving while she’s so ill she can’t move.

She said how she couldn’t drink water her whole pregnancy and that she was malnourished. At what point do you accept that’s not a healthy way to grow a child and decide it’s not worth causing complications to the baby?

Em’s content is so thoroughly boring.

she steals ideas from others and repurposes them - boring, nothing new. She doesn’t add in anything particularly insightful.

her work outs are boring. The symprove ads are tired and boring and so transparent. She’s not convincing anyone this product is any good and she just comes across as soulless when she advertises it.

her comment section just seems to be full of people offloading and using it as a therapy session. E.g. she tells people to not care about wearing shorts and people are like “no way I can’t wear shorts I was born with a green coloured leg that was then mauled by a rabid dog and has scar tissue that I was bullied for in school because it was green and also I had to have surgery that time to remove a kidney stone in my knee, and then pirates stole it in a horrendous hostage situation I was held captive for three years and they replaced my leg with a wooden peg. I haven’t worn shorts in years because I just don’t have the confidence”

Like chill out huns, she’s just encouraging you not to be self conscious. No need for the life story and medical history.

you get the odd normal person commenting that wearing shorts isn’t a big deal and of course em responds with a bitchy comment and bullies her into apologising.
