I agree that Josie is not the nicest person. Having a bit of clout now as well her dream in the Cotswolds brings out the absolute worst of her personality traits. She had a dorky cuteness about her, which made one overlook her faults and not notice her greed. She appears self-centred. likes to get her way and manipulates.
I truly hope she stays away from any plastic surgery, we only joke about her teeth because she's awful, had the veneers done and pretends to be related to the queen. Surgery cannot overhaul her personality.
I started watching her around the beginning of her rose gold obsession but then stopped watching her. When I started watching her again I couldn't believe how awful she was and how deliberately she edited her relationship in her vlogs. About a year ago, I back watched a few videos circa 2016. They were so different! She wanted Charlie on to her channel for content. He didn't splain and people loved their banter when she did have on. There were so many comments saying they wanted more of Char Char. These days he just seems tedious.
I assume she doesn't have any subs from way back and she has made sure that nobody likes OCD Char anymore with her selective editing. In the old videos, you also see how truly messy and untidy she is. It borders on disgusting. Not sure how an OCD person can live with her. You also realise that she has zero talent for fashion, no style and has a shopping addiction. She only blogs to travel, get goodies and for people to click on affiliates.
The old boyfriend tag video showed two very different people, but even then she was manipulating. She added several marriage questions, including one from Ems, putting Charlie on the spot about proposing. She's clearly always had this streak in her and she actually also had her little barbed comments.
In one video, she complains that her life is not perfect. She makes a big fuss about worrying about who is out with mates. She says it's 22:30 so perhaps he can stay out a bit later, as long as he doesn't wake her up when he comes in.
She moved in with Char immediately after they met in her first few months of uni and they have been together since. I wonder if Char was really bad or more the phase young blokes do with their mates? Char Char certainly has his faults but Josie deliberately baits and waits for you to trip up, so she can point it out and look superior.
I also got the feeling that Josie put a lot of pressure on Charchar to join the influencer business, but didn't watch enough videos to be 100% certain. I hope this little essay helps with curiosity and conclusions. I'm sure we are not the only two who have pondered on little Josefiend.
