Is she even giving the 1%? Isn’t it the publishing company giving it based on sales? Her fee will have been negotiated long ago and won’t include that fee. She’s not donating anything, the people buying it are and then the publisher.

Oh she would never own up to that on her page to her followers. Should be at least 5?if not 10%. Another example of the fakeness. Could Tommy’s logo be any bigger or more prominent on her page? Anyway guys don’t want she’s given away 10 x pauper boxes today so she’s done her bit for society and all that #fake #tightwad #dontaskmehername #mrsonepercent #yourhalohasslippedlove

The pic of the front cover today on her page, no mention of Tommy’s, an uncorrected proof copy -

What people do buy when they swipe up. Prominent Tommy’s logo, don’t forget she donates a whole 1%. She really does think her followers are idiots! Or does she not want to promote Tommy’s anymore? Make your bloody mind up oh fake one 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
So the usual she’s done there she’s got everyone to donate to create the ten boxes which have been sent out.. and somehow she took the glory?! She didn’t do anything

And I hate when influencers do something good then re post the story. Either do it graciously or not at all don’t do it for clout!!

Like during the first lockdown all the Surreyhuns filming their kids and selves dropping icu supplies, refugee supplies etc

Amazing where you do it and amazing to show others what can be done but self praise is no praise needs to be removed!!

Yeah she is foooling everyone. Tommy’s promote it for her now too all over their socials

She's donating 1% of her author royalties. The publisher is then giving 1% of published price royalties (whatever that is!)

I don’t know if it’s been already mentioned on here but she popped up on a thread early on (which I think she cried off to tattle and got it closed) and said she wouldn’t be under any circumstances writing another book.......🌚🤔

Yes she definitely did say this. And that she only wrote the first as therapy and didn't intend it to be released but glad it was as its helped so many people.

I'm still in shock at the 1%. Embarrassed for her, angry at her and disgusted. She's used the whole donating to Tommy's to increase sales i believe. Everyone loves to help charity (well except Elle evidently) so will have no qualms purchasing the book. Shame the percentage isn't disclosed on the book. Vole really how she is using her dead son and the facade of being charitable to make herself "a best selling author" and line her pockets.
I really hate speaking of others like this, especially a new mum, but seriously how low can she go?

Like all the others, the mask slips eventually! She’s not only spent years profiting from grief but also using it as an excuse not to be called out for her behaviour and attitude

I've got receipts
Omg!! Can’t believe she even came on here to write that thought she’d think it was a waste of time. Wonder if she still reads on here all this time on.
Well she didn’t have a trilogy lined up then originally of books. I think she’s missing the point here, no one is saying she’s a millionaire from Instagram. But it’s profiting, and even a small amount she gets paid a small fee for writing the book? Define small.
1% is still too low.

agree.
Also, she may not make much money from Instagram, yet she still accepted free goods, which most other people have to work to pay for. She’s definitely profiting in materials such as clothes, makeup, fancy candles, kitchen appliances. All of those things that I have to go and do a 9-5 for 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Liked her recent blog post she put. Don’t see any issue with her mentioning details of the bleeding etc. It’s natural, happens to women, happened to me with my child and it’s absolutely every pregnant woman’s worse nightmare. Terrifying.

I thought it was great to read the way she said she wants to jump back in and give back / continue. Redeems a lot for me.

It just did not sit well with me the way she came backafter so much time off then ask people to dig deep for a book which gave so little to charity but had the Tommy’s name all over.

If never returned that’s her choice and wouldn’t blame her tbh I just didn’t like the back with a bang ££

If like she’s saying she’s continuing her blog and charity hopes for teddys wish and it isn’t all about her own profit then good for her!

'I had nothing with me apart from my phone in my hand and a dressing gown that would almost certainly have to be binned. Well, you couldn’t make it up.'

Personally, I don't think any of the story is funny, nor do I need it to be. But, I can guarantee that had this happened to me, I would not have continued to clutch my phone, nor think about how I needed a new dressing gown.
Same this did happen to me and all my clothes got handed to me by my nurse in a plastic apron.. bin for them 🤣 last thing on my mind!! I didn’t even have a nappy for the baby let alone “spritz for bits” and all the other crap the influencers sell lol.

I was surprised she didn’t write anything like “when it comes down to it you realise how unimportant fancy hospital packed bags are and what dressing gown you wear”
It is confusing because she is a human being who lost a baby so obviously she knows that when it comes down to it all the crap you buy isn’t important. The nursery you decorate, all that, it’s just stuff. Means nothing. Healthy baby most important. Like she said in one blog gender means nothing. 👏
But then she doesn’t really seem that way sometimes.. But I don’t know I don’t find some it very down to Earth. There’s nothing real or raw about it from a parenting point of view. Like, the dressing gown doesn’t matter, or we spend most of the day barely functioning. It’s like she just cannot her to drop her Insta face.
Maybe her insta friends aren’t actually very real with her I wonder if she can say to them “I spent all day in my pyjamas and my hairs not been washed all week and I have piles🤣” like Laura Ann it’s so unrealistic she posted a picture of herself the day she got home post delivery of her 3rd baby and she’s in full hair and make up. Like.. come on!! I could barely walk 🤣🤣

The more I think about this and how she has suddenly said ‘seeya’ 👋🏼 to everyone who has supported/donated/prayed for her happy ending... She really doesn’t care does she? I completely understand not wanting to show photos of ‘O’ and turn into a baby selling page, but to completely ignore her existence is very odd. 😕
She really has stuck two fingers up to her followers... and turned it all into a full business-only account.
The only reason she’s back is to sell her book, it’s very clear.

And the 1% donation... 😳 I don’t even have the words.

I noticed the new book has already been reduced in price and is not out yet 😅 I wonder if it will be filled with more judgey comments and inaccessible lifestyle tips about trips to Waitrose and privileged complimentary therapies? 👍
