Oh dear, what a drama. She could have avoided this. She would have been better apologising for breakdown lockdown & saying she didn’t understand the rules. She didn’t say that there is alcoholism or depression in her family and asked her viewers to not jump to any conclusions, which is fair as they are both serious conditions that are hard to deal with without people speculating. She said ‘there are other issues like alcoholism and depression that don’t just magically go away because there is a bigger problem in the world’. She is correct in saying this & this is why coronavirus is so awful. There are many people stuck in physically abusive relationships, people being delayed medical treatment, child abuse, eating disorders, drug & alcohol addictions, depression, deaths in the family & many more problems. Josie said ‘just know that I am an adult, I am a grown up & I, Charlie & I make decisions that are best for our family and loved ones’. Sadly, the rules are rules and it’s not up to her & Charlie to decide what is best for their families the same as it’s not up to us to decide what’s best for ours. If there was a genuine emergency in their family maybe it would have been better if she had just taken a break For a few days. From the life she’s been portraying in her vlogs during lockdown it’s all wonderful home cooked family meals, gardening, sipping on quality wine, dog walking & floating around in fancy dresses. If you don’t want people to speculate on the less than perfect parts of your life then do a better job of hiding them or choose a career that doesn’t show or jeopardise your privacy and the mental wellbeing of your families.

Great points, but she could have just easily lied like everything else she says that her family was staying with them during this lockdown. That would have covered everything to include the additional plates, people in the background, people having to be on all 4s on the floor, etc.
I uploaded the snippet from the video in the previous thread. ‘there are other issues like alcoholism and depression that don’t just magically go away because there is a bigger problem in the world’- hmmm i feel like this was a statement to justify exactly what is happening in her family and why the rules didn't apply to them when breaking them. She could have worded everything very differently without having to go in so much detail.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the same here in the UK (although worn items can be returned if they’re faulty). We have different policies on things like make-up/skincare though, I think - I’ve heard you can return those items in the US if it’s not suitable, even if you’ve tried it, but you can’t do that here unless you’ve had an allergic reaction to it, unless the person dealing with you is feeling generous, which isn’t often
Sephora and Ulta (are beauty stores that sell cosmetics, beauty products, etc)- you can return almost anything you want if you don't like it.
I was also going to comment that this is what Freddy does too! But you’re right she is (more recently, especially with the last haul week) honest about what she keeps, I think in the first few she did she didn’t say anything and must have gotten some backlash about ordering 7 massive hauls in one week just for content
I actually come to respect Freddy in the sense of her being opened about how she pays for the stuff she shows and what she doesn't pay for. I still think she is fake but I do have respect for her honesty.
I'm going to just post this here for reference again
My last rant before I have to go adult.
Her defensiveness with how she behaved against her viewer yesterday by putting her on blast was COMPLETELY uncalled for. It only made it seem like she was covering up her reality by blaming someone else and hoping her loyal brainwashed fans would have attacked her. Mirabeau is a joke of a company for blasting someone like that and Josie is garbage for it too. ALL are.
She could have easily made a simple comment or handled it in private "wItH gRaCe & PoIse" like some of her fans worship her, St Josie of the Cotswolds. She could have easily said, "hey guys, you misinterpret" but no. She was petty and trying to be savage because she can do no wrong. Remember, she will your crucify you before she allows anyone to point out her mistakes and wrongs just as seen with everything recent to include her cute scandal of 1 yr ago now (Happy Zimmergate Anniversary GUYS!! #neverforget)
