Completely agree! Didn't mention it as I thought her not being vegan was trivial in comparison to the diversity issues. But yeah.. remember when the first lockdown happened and she panic bought a load of non-dairy milk and she got called out for it?
It’s definitely not as important as the diversity issue, but I think it raises a very valid point about how and why these people were chosen to be in the campaign. And you totally don’t need to be vegan to enjoy a vegan product but now the issue has been raised Emma just seems an odd choice! And yep I remember the milk incident
It also proves these influencers are here for 1 thing only ££££It’s definitely not as important as the diversity issue, but I think it raises a very valid point about how and why these people were chosen to be in the campaign.

she brought it up in some of her vlogs but since the BLM protests hasn’t mentioned diversity/BLM issues since, as far as I know. As someone with a platform she should be working harder to step back and let actual minority vegans take the limelight for things that are within their line of influencing work? She had no reason to promote Actimel, it’s nothing to do with her brand (outside of her obsession with food), she could have easily have stepped back
Yeah this is the point that I was getting at! She could have and definitely should have stepped aside. It’s done now but I hope she learns from this.
Regarding the actimel post, same as above.
her story post afterwards felt very disingenuous too?! like she's mentioned linda sun in her vlog once (i think) but after being called out for her lack of action in making spaces more diverse she immediately publicises her viewing habits (which isn't regular for her either) which just so happens to be an asian woman? feels very coincidental if it's not performativeNot Emma getting called out for not asking if Actimel if they were doing w diverse campaign on their vegan promo when she ISN’T EVEN VEGAN
literally all for show because she was called out for it
Karis Anderson, Rebekah-Sarah, Rachel Ama, Abby veganbrownting Nanya Florence. Maybe they all said no but they seem to be working on insta / YouTube etc.
I dont understand l she just put on instagram story what she achieved yesterday and it was her "organised "kitchen cupboard but that cupboard would drive me nuts Worked in retail I'm not sure if she actually said what it was
It was that makeup store.. can't remember the name but it's a kinda wholesaley vibe. Usually located (or at least I've seen them located) in industrial type places.
It’s clear she still very much sees it as her flat. It’s all her stuff out and Tim has barely got a mark on it. I think it was forced by lockdown but to me it seems like they’re very good friends, I don’t see anything romantic there.
I’m sorry but please don’t use Helen as a benchmark for apologies
I won’t discuss her here as this isn’t her thread but her actual thread has loads of comments and evidence about her being a wick with this stuffI think Emma struggles with people being in her space, I think she panicked when it came to lockdown and Tim coming back from uni and support bubbles weren’t a thing untill June? I think because they’ve been together for so long but not always been in proximity to each other (as he was at uni) she sort of feels like she’s missed out on the living with your boyfriend thing. So panicked and was like yes move in with me, but now regrets it as he’s working from home and she can’t just swan about as she used too, I think she really struggles to cope with any change! She shouldn’t have had him move in
in good news though, her most recent stories show that she has actually found cleaning products
ouuu that line about the blackout squares. This tea chile...Not Emma getting called out for not asking if Actimel if they were doing w diverse campaign on their vegan promo when she ISN’T EVEN VEGAN

She spoke about BLM and inclusion when it was at its boiling point this year. And as far as I’m aware, she hasn’t mentioned it since. TBH, (speaking for myself: black, Caribbean) I rather they live in their truth... their indifference... than force this “I’m so inclusive and WOKE!” persona that they adopt when there’s controversy.
