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.

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.

she’s a true woman of the people, a true progressive.
Can anyone please link me to it?
