Em Clarkson #2

[Burrito88]

She’s losing her mind over being able to size down in a pair of jeans. We all said she’s obsessed with exercise and losing weight, though she denies it. The jeans look a bit tight round the waist though and why is she walking on the sides of her feet with her legs a metre apart?

She looks like she’s trying to air out a yeast infection. Think this could be my last straw to unfollow her. She’s been getting on my tits lately.

 

[jofluff]

I skim read it, I just think she is so entitled and awful. She has two healthy children which is more than some could dream of. If it was as bad as she made it out she surely couldn’t consider going through it again, and if she did I wouldn't have much sympathy for her and would be shocked if she carried on making content from it. I don’t deny it must be horrendous but if it was as traumatising as she made out she wouldn’t be considering going through it again. She is one of the worst people on instagram to be honest

 

[smirkingrevenge]

Honestly something needs to be said for it being ok to not want another child if your first pregnancy is miserable.
I know her husband is supportive etc but I seriously don’t get why she’d put herself, her husband and her child through this…
Like yes you want another kid I get it but it just seems like… maybe we need to talk about not pushing the “pushing through it” and “so worth it” culture?

 

[Smell_my_cheese]

I’m maybe just jealous of her dedication, but she professes to be all about loving yourself no matter what etc, but is doing her absolute all to get back to her pre pregnancy weight as far as I can tell.
I know she says it’s all about feeling good and strong, but I imagine anyone else who has had a baby at the same time as her might be feeling pretty crap now. We can’t all have a team of dedicated adults to look after our children whilst we go to the gym and run constantly in order to get skinny (because I believe that’s what she’s really after). Just feels a bit disingenuous really.

 

[chickhicks86]

Oh absolutely this. She loves something to moan about like let’s face it, there’s always gonna be people who don’t like others. I’m sure there’s plenty of people who don’t like me and have bitched about me behind my back to their friends on messenger or text or phone call, probably over inane things too. It’s life, and I don’t have a right to stop that. It’s like she thinks people don’t have a right to criticise her life at all. Well actually Em, everyone is entitled to their opinion about you. We don’t all have to sit and lap it up? I don’t even really have much of an issue with her (I think she heavily embellishes a lot of her stories for attention but I think most influencers do that)
But it seems to me these influencers feel like they have a divine right to hear all the gossip about them and if it’s not to their liking, it’s bullying. Get over it

And the crux of it comes back to the fact that they shared whatever is being talked about in the first place!

Severe hyperemesis? Shared by Em
Still able to go on multiple holidays / breaks / attend influencer events? Also shared by Em
Going to take post partum fitness slowly? Shared by Em
Also sacking off couch to 5k and going straight to running 5ks? Also Em

You just know if her other half was devoting this much time to sport/working out she would be moaning on about the load of motherhood. He must work fulltime then spend all evening looking after the kids while she’s upside down on that contraption in her living room. Equality.

 

[LiLahx]

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

Yeah that’s a very unfair comparison to make. She’s like that because she’s grown up wealthy and not had to work for much at all in her life. That sortve thing breeds entitlement. I’ve worked since I was 16 and I’m 30 now with two kids, very unlike her in every way

 

[chirpycheapcheap]

Yes but it was made public only now. I don’t really see her discuss women’s health that much other than HG and pregnancy related things but nothing in terms of health in general or how regular screening is needed for everyone.

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

 

[minimaz]

Was watching a podcast with Ruth Corden and when she was talking about thin people who contort themselves in photos to show off their fat who hijacked the body positivity movement and are now terrified that fat women who couldn't rely on pretty and had to develop personalities are now losing weight, all I could think of was Emily.

 

[Burrito88]

Wish she’d stop whinging about GLP1s when she’s never had a BMI over 30

 

[GlitterFluff]

For an animal queen, there are very few (none) photos of animals (herself excluded) on her instagram

I've definitely posted this on the wrong thread - apologies!!

 

[Burrito88]

She seems to want to spend every single second of her day exercising in some form - running, now cycling, hula hoop, headstands. I think she’s got issues, not necessarily body issues, but is clearly trying to mask some sort of unhappiness. That said, the level of body checking lately is

She’s insufferable at the moment. Maybe if she had a real job she’d be exercising a normal amount like the rest of us.

 

[chickhicks86]

Jumping on the bandwagon again. Her husband works for her so she set his paternity leave surely?

Giving her opinion on things like she is the authority when she actually has zero lived experience, as usual.

 

[minimaz]

Just saw her latest rant on instagram, apparently Angela Rayner has been treated unfairly because of misogyny and no man would ever be treated so badly etc. Theres plenty of misogyny in politics, I don't think I saw a single example of it in how Rayner was treated in this matter nor did Em give any actual examples of how a male politican recently got away with anything similar. I mean this wasn't media hounding this was an independent advisor finding misconduct.

I looked at the comments and you can totally see that she blocks anyone who doesn't agree, every comment is just up her arse about how great she is. I find her so unlikable shes so arrogant and unwilling to hear anything that might contradict her, have her explain or might make her see another perspective.

 

[Rosie878]

It really does feel like she thinks she’s the only person ever to give birth and breastfeed!
For someone as privileged as her to refer to someone who has messaged her as ‘the trash taking itself out’ really doesn’t sit well with me.
coming from a town where grooming gangs have been a massive scandal I do understand peoples concerns. She is saying it’s all being ‘misrepresented’ as illegal immigration which she may well have a point with but she needs to understand not everyone has had the privileged private education she has had and will be less able to pick up the nuances. If she was that bothered about educating people she would engage with them not label them racist bigots for having concerns

 

[Smokingeggs]

I just unfollowed... having had a baby in January, she makes you feel like shit. I don't remember her being this full on after Arlo.

 

[smirkingrevenge]

She is a massive part of the problem she keeps moaning about. Every day she posts videos/photos of her exercising. I don’t care if it’s supposedly nothing to do with weight loss, it absolutely comes across as her being desperate to change her body. That coupled with pictures of her breathing in for dear life (sunbathing photo, recent bikini pics) says that she wants to lose weight or appear thinner too. She’s also completely missing the part where she’s a size 12/14 at most - slim and straight sized. All this ‘I don’t owe anyone thinness, I can take up space’ - mate you are thin.

Also she keeps talking about her kids interrupting workouts and/or having to change workout/run plans.
DUDE - most people can’t even start to plan to go for a run or workout with two small children and can’t afford super fancy boutique gyms.

 

[Gingerbread2019]

I haven't read her long winded whinge, but assuming from comments on here that she has said she is gonna go for a third kid??! Nah sorry but if the 'trauma' she went through was that bad, there is no way, NO WAY she would voluntarily go through it all over again. A third time. I've known people who had HG and they said NEVER EVER could they contemplate it. I've got one child myself because the PTSD from PPD and PPA is so bad, I could never put myself or my family through that ever again. Everyone (she) bandies the word trauma around so fucking flippantly, but is it really though? There is trauma and there is a shitty experience. They are not the same. Made clear by the willingness to put oneself back in that position.

 

[minimaz]

I don't follow her often but a few of her videos about GLP1's have come up on my instagram. God shes bitter that other people are losing weight.

Theres a certain type of woman who loved the body positivity movement because it made them feel superior that they were the thin ones that they had the willpower. They knew it wasn't healthy for people to be overweight but it made them feel better. Body positivity is about loving your body which I think a lot more people do now they've lost weight.

I would suspect shes white knuckling her diet and thinks that people on GLP1s have it easier and are cheating and would love to get her hands on the meds and will try to get thinner and thinner.

If shes despairing that much about a lack of diversity in body sizes now, why not be radical and get fat!

 

[hadtosayit88]

Why is the person who decided to unfollow her trash? That’s a vile thing to say. IF the stuff about women being assaulted or worse by immigrants is a false narrative (and I’m not saying it is), why is Em so offended by this person, why not reply and point them in the direction of proven facts. She thinks she’s such an educator on this (and sooo many other topics she rants on about daily), but she’s deluded. Shes just another influencer, sat in an echo chamber, blocking people, and posting abusive stories calling them trash, when they don’t agree with her.
