I feel (and hope) that this whole "influencer" shit is going to implode soon. Surely people are getting fed up with it; I certainly am. All these endless gatherings of "influencers" where they get taken to some fancy hotel/retreat/restaurant, and we, the peasants, get to watch from our desks all the photos of them frolicking in gifted dresses, bags, shoes, etc... Who cares??? Is this supposed to make me want to buy stuff? It doesn't, quite the opposite!

Avoiding all the 'difficult' questions about weight?
Cartloads of expensive clothes arriving daily now she's slim? So difficult trying on all those clothes - need to ensure there's at least one shot of flat stomach.
Oh and the complete lack of bras - v difficult. #thoughtsandprayers #needagiftedbracampaign
Erica will model underwear, she’ll discuss her skincare, makeup and haircare, she’ll talk about her perimenopause, she’ll show every room of her house and inside her cupboards, she’ll share her garden and for good measure her mother’s garden, she’ll post regularly when she is on extravagant long haul holidays, and she’ll discuss her father’s diagnosis which he obviously can’t consent to.
But Erica’s weight is off limits to discuss. Got it.
Respect Erica’s privacy, everyone.

Now she’s got the house renovated off the back of discounts and partnerships we never see that side of her account either, I think the last rooms we saw were the en-suite and the pink walk in wardrobe, both heavily discounted iirc.
She’s not the person I thought she was , she’s as calculating and greedy as the rest of them .

They all do, her mate Alexandra Stedman is the same, regularly gets things from Vinted that should be hundreds of pounds for 50p brand new, she even went to the lengths off pretending that she got a kids coat that was £250 new for £5. Showed the Vinted picture to ‘prove it’ except the picture was taken in front of her wardrobes and we suspect she posted it from her hidden account and then ‘bought’ it straight away from her official account. Honestly how much time do you have in your hands, who could be arsed. Of course call me a cynic but doing ads for Vinted might have something to do with it, I suspect Erica may be going the same way or hoping for a deal.

I just can’t believe the way the “I would never wear jeans here’s all my more clever styling” narrative has completely disappeared and the way none of her followers are questioning it! She’s now got about 50 pairs of jeans and “favourites” in her wardrobe. She’s such a fraud - just own it! “I didn’t feel comfortable in jeans when I was heavier but I’ve had more confidence lately to try them.” So disingenuous, she’s SUCH a slippery sales woman nowadays and I don’t understand why no one calls her out! QUEEN BEE MEAN GIRL VIBES!

As a peri-menopausal woman who once used to be very active and a well balance diet, I gained 4 stone, initially through comfort eating because of my symptoms (insomnia was the worst) and then I gained even more after starting HRT!
I’ve tried absolutely everything since to try and lose a few stones, lbs even, but the scales just kept going up!!!!! I’ve just finished my third week on MJ and have lost …………. 10lbs!
I have no interest in chocolate, biscuits or crisps and have smaller portions, compared to eating everything in the house on a daily basis!!!
HRT has done wonders for some of my symptoms, but helping me lose weight, it has not!!!!!!
We know the truth ED!!!!

They all start out with some individuality, authenticity and their own particular angle, which gains them a decent following. Then they realise they can make real £££ out of it so sign up with an agent and make it their ‘job’. From then on in it all becomes more contrived, commercial and basically fake ass BS.
This has been really apparent with Erica, also Alex - although she’s so stingy I’m not sure if she has an agent and is clearly scrabbling around to find some kind of niche for herself (and failing).
It’s all quite pitiful really and I think it must be very apparent to the followers? Surely Erica’s followers (and Alex’s) are mostly reasonably bright/educated and can see through the press gift/pr partnership/aff links/ hidden ad nonsense??

The dishonesty is intensely annoying and by all accounts there is no known HRT that can cause dramatic weight loss so she’s happily treating her followers like idiots.It really fucking bothers me how deceiving she is and how much she is wearing jeans when she said she wouldn’t.., why am I so irrationally raged by it!!??? 🫣
I’m also now irritated by the fake hilarity she sees in every corner of the totally gifted and discounted bedroom .

What’s doesn’t she want to talk about, her weight loss?
Edit- I just watched. If she’s that happy with the changes it would be nice of her to share even a snippet with her loyal followers. She knows there will be so much judgement if she admitted to using weight loss injections so she will use the menopause as her veil. The lack of info speaks volumes. As long as she’s making an income from her sheep followers then all is good in the world. She’s a fraud.

I cannot believe the prices that some of this stuff is actually being sold for. The navy and khaki striped M&S top has a stain on it and someone has spent £10 on it. I have the same top and was sure it can’t have cost much more than a tenner when it was new 3/4 years ago. Did a Quick Look on Vinted and you can get the very same one, BNWT for £3. And, the tag has the original price on it. £9.50!
Also, the absolute state of the neck of the pink suit. It’s not even mentioned in the description that it’s filthy.

It’s really sad for her that her dad is going through this. It’s obviously also really sad for her dad. However, if she wants to say that she’s had a particularly upsetting visit with him (which most of us will understand because Dementia/Alzheimers has probably touched most of us) then that’s all she needs to say. She doesn’t need to put a picture of him up which he can’t consent to.
These influencers work so hard to develop parasocial relationships with their followers. Erica constantly asking how we are etc. She then shares too much of certain things (like around her Dad), saying that it will help others going through the same “journey, yet remains silent on her mystery weight loss or the periodic “behind the scenes” stuff. Then when we call them out for being disingenuous, they label us trolls.
It’s just not on.

Not a dig at you, but to put it into perspective: Is stuffing one’s face with processed food, alcohol, Botox, fillers etc healthy? Not to mention stress of everyday life, not enough sleep, pollution etc.
Swings and round abouts really…
I pumped myself full of IVF drugs 13 years ago, i didn’t think of the future health implications, I just desperately wanted a baby.
Sometimes we have to take risks…. Could get run over by a bus tomorrow….
