Faces by Grace #2 Freebies by Grace

[Are they serious?]

I completely understand the comments about the lack of quality of her content or the laziness or the scrounging for free stuff. As far as I'm concerned that's free game when you're in this industry but reading the comments about her weight, looks and parenting make me extremely uncomfortable. It's those comments are why influencers can cry anxiety and bullying etc.

 

[Sirfjaz]

That you grace hun ?

That was my exact thought when I read that comment

 

[Smurfett 23]

OMG i'm flabbergasted after listening to that "interview". Herself and Twins & Me would want a big dose of reality. Be-kind.... More like be accountable over the fact that you are only on Instagram for freebies... what a parasite...

 

[Irishmammy]

This is my point too
It doesn't add up
Panic attacks are so draining so exhausting
As I said before I've only had a handful and like I am just presuming they are panic attacks as that is what my doctors told me they were
But your talking like not even being able to breathe
Like your chest crushing etc and palpitations sweating dizzy light headed
I had one in work when I was pregnant and my heart rate was 170bpm
I was admitted to a maternity ward for 2 nights when I had that panic attack as they had to rule out cardiac cause etc when pregnant but I was bed bound for 2 days after it
She is so irresponsible saying she's had 5 in one day
She'd be in hospital I'm sure no joke
Someone with mental illness having 5 panic attacks in one day I'm sure would be either calling an ambulance or being brought to hospital by relatives
Is she is that unwell and sick WHY is she not off 'work'??
Why is she still working
I hate to say it but it would absolutely kill my soul to think of someone playing up to mental illness card in order to get podcasts interviews magazine deals or other things
That is disgusting
Imagine if it was a physical illness??????
How would she keep going then?
Its often worse than a physical illness
It was for me anyways


Exactly this
Sure they can't definitively diagnose a panic attack
There is no test for them
Its all symptom based
Doesn't add up to me
5 in one day

this

She hasn’t been on since last night , I’m waiting for her #raw post of her depression followed by an impression of Lazarus with kips playing the role of Jesus .

How do you know? Has she said she is going to do deal for her wedding? Also, Instagram is part of her job. What do you think an influencer is?

she gets everything gifted. Sienna and Hayden’s birthday parties/christening... everything was gifted from balloons to cupcakes to decorations etc.. she’s had several food platters delivered for no reason whatsoever lately so there isn’t a single doubt in my mind a lot of the wedding stuff will be gifted. I’m not daft.. I do know what an influencer is.. but she influences nobody because half the time she doesn’t even put effort into her stories when advertising a product. And she tends to withhold from saying things are an ad or an affiliate link - she just takes takes takes and that’s not very influential is it? An influencer to me isn’t even about being gifted stuff because a LOT of good influencers will come on and say ‘I’m not being paid to promote this product I just really like it and wanted to share it with you guys’ now THAT would influence me to buy a product.. not someone just flogging anything and everything because it was sent to her for free.

If she is really having multiple panic attacks a day then she needs to seek urgent medical help, especially with two young children in her care. But tbh I just don’t buy it, she can sit in her house accepting her mountains of free packages and having a pity party on Instagram all she wants but if the life she’s living is giving her such major anxiety then she needs to change it. I genuinely like a lot of you have been diagnosed with multiple mental health problems. I have to work full time and keep a clean house and my head above water. I don’t look for sympathy off anyone. She thinks she’s being relatable but she just looks spoilt and disingenuous.

 

[Scout Finch]

Completely, anyone with genuine mental health issues does not behave like that. Anxiety doesn't turn off for PR gigs. Anxiety is also not being just nervous. a real anxiety disorder is horrible and the last thing you'd do is what she's doing.

If it was as real as she says, she would be taking a genuine break. But it's all for sympathy.

no one said having children is easy, its not, its a full-time job, and its ok to struggle. I was one of her followers from the very beginning but now all she does is sell shite. She should just say she's taking a break instead of treating us all like shit and telling us to buy stuff she gets for free.

the whole reason anxiety was even mentioned is because she is on the social mind podcast or Instagram TV in a few weeks. She will be speaking about anxiety about that and wants the views.

I hope she does change and has an honest chat with followers, people would appreciate it a lot more.

I don't know how to comment with using quote so apologies. I have a personality disorder and suffer from crippling anxiety at times. I'm on a lot of medication also, I'm also in a wheelchair yet I still work in a high pressure job. There's no way I could come on and do a video post if I was as bad as she said she was. Some days I don't leave my bed. She definitely suffers from anxiety but it seems to be when she gets bad press.

 

[Lollie92]

Grace is a child. When shes comes on stories shes like a little girl. No life skills or very little. No coping skills. Just entitled, selfish and spoiled her whole life and it is doing her no favours. Teach your children life skills and coping skills in their early years and they will thrive in adulthood. She needs tough love or as someone says a kick up the hole. Anxiety does not excuse laziness.

 

[What's the tea Mrs Doyle?]

course shes going to look for wedding freebies, and crisps is happy for her to have a nap and time to chill because he enjoys the freebies as much as she does. Hes not stupid.
Lots saying she should give up instagram, but think about it. Her ads pay her part of the mortgage. Her freebies feed them, keep the kids in nappies, furnish their house, dress her and the kids.
If she gave it up how could she afford everything? Have you ever heard of someone applying for a job and their last role being an influencer?
Shes stuck and she cant get out now. In a way i feel for her because shes built a life based on social media and has no back up plan. You can see she has problems with her mental and physical health some brought on herself some not.
Let her get all the freebies she wants, if shes loosing followers like everyone says then brands will stop gifting her and the ads will stop coming in too.
New guidelines for advertising came out and she will be caught rapid if she doesnt declare properly.
So her house is dirty and messy, shes the one who has to live there.
Her kids do look happy and loved so i dont think its fair to bring them into it. i dont agree with kids on social media but thats my opinion.

Well said, yes she is in deep and even I can't see a way out for her. The only way she would end the influencer thing is if the sponsorships dried up.
I do agree she has genuine mental health issues, but she's labeling it as anxiety and it isn't anxiety.
She will never change, she's surrounded by enablers, that Krusty Kips is a freeloader and that video of her mother gardening in a storm for her tells us all we need to know.

Ps. I had to switch off Instagram last night after watching that video of her mum. I got quite upset. One day her mum won't be around and we should cherish the time we have with our loved ones. But that absolute idiot Grace was making fun of her and posting it online.. nasty nasty stuff

 

[Warda Marmaduke]

Eh my main question is how in the name of God can you "take too much on' but not leave your house?? Surely then your just doing what every other mammy in the country is doing. And the fact she had her partner, mam and sister there, Jesus I wish I had that kind of help day in day out

 

[smartiefox90]

omg I CANT EVEN today. She is nothing but insulting to anyone who has suffered anxiety or panic attacks. A panic attack takes absolutely everything out of you, coming on camera to say "oh I had the worst panic attack there, lol lmao etc..." I'm surprised it wasn't followed by sponsored by #panicattacksireland. She needs to cop on and stop with this shite. Nothing Is genuine, the wild flowers was followed up by a MrPrice copybook with flowers on it ffs.

I reckon people who said about her weight and how she looks etc could be right and it could be the issue.


Id never mention a person's weight, I've struggled myself. so I completely understand how going out in public when you are well known and not looking your best could be anxiety-provoking. But shes had two children, so no one should be judging her for that.

But using mental help, and panic attacks...... ughhvrjbeibvarbvobrnw

fair play to girl who messaged her, I hope some reply comes.

 

[PeaceAndPaws]

That terminology that was used to compare Cancer to Anxiety just didnt sit right with me. I had Cancer, I also have Anxiety and Depression and I dont think I could ever compare the two. Maybe thats just how I feel but I did say WTF when watching her stories there. Maybe I am abit sensitive this morning as I am heading into hospital for the start of yet more bladder treatment to help the horrendous bladder damage I suffer thanks to cancer. The thing that annoyed me was that she said that she has suffered with this for 15 years and only now is realising it can come about at anytime. Surely youd have that figured out by now? What about your therapist you have been seeing, surely they have explained it to you along with coping mechanisms? It was all abit weird for me I have to say. Also, can I have the name of that GP practice? Because I can barely get an GP appt over the phone yet she can waltz in and have a 40 min discussion after her baby’s vaccines.

they whole thing is just bizzarre

 

[Scarbouro]

That's a bit too far like, we get u do t like her or her content, I'm following since her Snapchat days before sienna, she's not the same person I followed then but who is life changes kids come along etc, if I go on and see something that doesn't interest me I just skip to the next person, it's quite sad that you'd be that invested in someone's life that your willing to take food from their kids mouth basically you are all saying kips lost his job so do you want them not to be able to pay a mortgage do you want to see them struggle and maybe loose their house because that's how it seems

If I performed badly in my profession I would be pulled up about it and rightly so. The rules apply to everyone. The consumer has the right to complain if they feel she's doing a poor job. These people are no different, they're not untouchable regardless of their personal situation.

 

[Kleenex85]

I know the napping sounds ridiculous to most people but it's a sign of depression. Having no energy ALL the time and for no good reason.
I suffered with it myself in the past and the exhaustion it brings on is shocking... you feel literally weighed down.
I agree with someone above who thinks grace has PND.
Poor girl its actually incredibly sad to watch her these days.

 

[Irishmammy]

Here we go with the anxiety chats

Wait hang on let me get this right . She struggles when she in a gathering of her close family and has to leave because it’s over whelming but is able to attend events and free lunches. As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression this is a fxxking kick in the teeth .

 

[Chanel Girl]

The wedding meal will now be a bag of chips for all.

I’m guessing where ever they ‘booked’ for tonight didn’t offer them a freebie! Didn’t she tag them in a post about cocktails?! Reckon thats why the cancelled!

 

[Yep111]

I'm completely new to this forum but felt like I needed to post something.
I rewatched Grace's story from 2 days ago of her being so low, tired, unable to be around people etc. and felt sorry for her as I have suffered from anxiety/depression. However, I've watched her story just now and shes in much better spirits, happier, chatty etc. I'm honestly so shocked at how she was able to turn things around emotionally. I actually thought I'd message her directly but thought what's the point. I'm no professional but I've never heard of anyone who's mood can change so quickly after describing having a horrible day and past month. I for one could not change moods so quickly.....maybe we react to things differently.
I honestly feel she is doing people with mental health issues a real disservice by being so up and down with her moods.
Is it for sympathy or hand outs I dont know but I felt so strongly after watching her just now I had to say something. Again I've never posted anything like this before and probably wont again but felt that I had to. X

 

[Irishmammy]

Half tempted to set up a parody page and call it not faces by disgrace

 

[Get off my chest]

Yep I don’t believe it either, If she was that bad & had the worse panic attack ever, the doctor wouldn’t say it’ll pass she’s a faker

Plus she said she had numerous panic attacks the other day when mags and her ma were over..
And didnt go the doctor..

Then had the worst one ever and didnt go the doctor... but was bringing the baby for the needles so she mentioned it.. her words.. not mine..

I dont buy it...

What station was she on?

Aloadofbollox FM I think

 

[Lollie92]

No doubt Mags reads here. I'm sure shes worried for her sister but understand shes taking you and your mother for mugs. Some things grace describes is anxiety but what she has is not anxiety.it seems like low mood down about her weight no motivation no coping skills and lazitis. By all means take the kids for an hour so she can get on top of things or get them in a good routine so she can do things. I've 3 children, I've no siblings and my parents passed away when I was a child. I don't have the support she has I have to organise everything around their routine and work but I still get a half hour to myself in the evening to read, exercise or have tea and chocolate. She needs a dose of reality how is she ever going to learn to cope or manage herself if someone is there all the time saying go to bed we will take the kids and clean. Get her moving...it will help so much with low mood.
