It doesn't surprise me, that was my guess as to why they parted ways and I don't even know them. She will come to regret her decision but it may be too late by then. Anything to get those views in eh!

Ohh interesting I knew it would be something like that!

I hope Sophie stays away now and doesn’t let Gemma use her ever again!

She has taken a massive risk bringing him into the public eye if he has got a history of abuse and cheating. What sane person would want to promote behaviour like that when all she harps on about is kindness and gratitude. She’s manifested a demon

Just seen her latest video is over an hour long... I can’t do it - at this point I know it’s not going to be worth it anymore. We all know she’s going to slowly make a cup of coffee, light a candle with some trash music in the background, skincare AD featuring that friggin foreo, make a list, make food (point at shopping), show the cats and obviously she’s going to do a timelapse clean

Her videos could be used as a form of torture, serious Ground Hog Day vibes

I can't stand all the slow motion - putting her feet into her slippers, pouring milk into her coffee, stirring it, lighting candles... Every time I stir a cup of coffee I think of it and I want to gouge my own eyeballs out (or something slightly less painful maybe!)

I’ve seen enough from what she’s shared on her stories of people watching today’s video - there’s deffo some list making, some candle lighting and skincare, think it’s time for me to unsubscribe

Ok so I saw the long winded essay reposted on Gemma's story tonight from Emily Philpott and felt I had to comment.

First, I don't consider myself to be a hater. Along with others on this site, I have never commented anything personal, unwarranted or nasty about Gemma or any other influencer. There is something called accountability in the real world. And it involves facing people calling you out for irresponsible or unreasonable behaviour. In my view, severely editing your photos and how your life appears on screen, involving promoting unhealthy body image, is extremely irresponsible, worsened when your audience is predominantly young females. People have a right to comment on that.

Tonight I watched the news where nurses are working extremely long shifts caring for the sickest patients, and facing covid hoax protestors on their way in and out of the hospital. Imagine the real trauma they face, doing such a worthwhile job. influencers can they choose not to read online "hate" or comments, equally they can filter their online behaviour to be less harmful. Nurses can't avoid the negative sides to their job, like many professions.

I firmly believe a lot of influencers are quite thick skinned and money orientated. Posts like these convey that they need protecting from something that, in the context of real life, is quite trivial, and like I said, doesn't even have to be read by them in the first place. The fact they know forums exist about them means they have googled themselves. It really doesn't need people protecting them.

And they are fully aware of the implications of posting details of their life online, there are plenty of other jobs they could have chosen to pursue.

Want to reiterate I would never endorse hateful comments. There is a difference between hate and substantiated criticism which needs to be understood. They are not immune from such comments, just like we aren't.

Really well said, can I also add I’m beyond fed up of influencers post Caroline Flack referencing suicide to guilt trip their audience.

Laura is very fake. She has like one friend and ditches them and gets another friend, and she cheated on her ex boyfriend Aaron, that’s why they split up....also she’s promotes bad diets like Herbalife and makes out she’s being ‘good’ and restricts her self. It’s the way she tries and justifies everything making out she has a perfect diet

Week after week the same thing. As an influencer i would have been embarrassed not coming up with anything new or original.

Anyone else fast forward through those bits of the video when she's doing the ad for that bloody foreo face machine?
I've seen her do the same ad for it in her videos a thousand times and I just can't be bothered with it anymore.

Over an hour of boring cosy content and ads.
Don’t think I’ll even bother to attempt to watch.

I wanna know how she’s still got followers with the crap she keeps putting out?!

It's also lazy editing...those of us in real "content creation" jobs know how to create snappy / appropriate / well edited "content" - these influencers don't have a clue.

I'm a journalist, and now an editor and my team covers heavy duty financial topics. But we understand that broadly, the audience doesn't have the time or inclination to read lots of massive essays or listen to an hour long podcast etc.

ETA: and when something controversial comes up, or a reader questions something it is our duty to listen, take stock and if it's decided that they were right, we have to acknowledge that and make any change required. We can't just delete the comment / email and talk about haters.

I used to watch every video but had to stop and haven’t watched any in ages. I did used to like her but the aesthetically perfect life she shows just makes me feel shit. I know it’s not realistic and if she had a full time job and other stuff going on her days wouldn’t be that perfect and relaxing but when the world has been so brutal and awful recently her perfect videos are just a bit much

I don't think I've ever posted in here before so please bear with. I don't understand what this girls "thing" is? To me, she looks like a cheap imitation of Mrs Hinch? Her lip fillers genuinely upset me. Why does she need to do that? She's a pretty girl and in my opinion she's totally ruining her looks. She doesn't do anything at all, every video is the same? I just don't "get it"? Does she have no hobbies or interests besides sitting on the sofa? i'd be bored stiff.

I'd say you know her very well already her life is groundhog day, everything is cosy, even in the summer...she wears everything oversized in beige, drinks Starbucks a lot and will sell absolutely anything for a quid or 2...is the ultimate AD whore... has no personality and her face would melt if she stood too close to one of her cosy candles. She is money hungry and will lie and do whatever it costs to get some more. I'd say everything that comes out of her mouth/channel/instagram is a bare faced lie. People seem to like this she also bragged that she earned 10k a month but that is not enough for her she wants more.

I don't actually think we should take the financial figures she gives as always truthful...I would be very sceptical. Plus we mustn't forget that even discussing people on here propels their level of relevance on the internet. They want to give us something to talk about maybe that's why she included the page from her journal about all the financial goals too...
Self employed she might have £10k a month incoming but that might not be after tax, business outgoings etc...
In my view anyway. I think if you'd been earning £10k a month, have no dependants and are in your late 20s, you would not be renting.

I'm just watching her most recent video and I'm genuinely shocked that she is literally copying every little thing that Mrs Hinch does, she is just regurgitating everything she says regarding cleaning and it's just made me realise that shes literally just trying to be her; the hair, makeup, hair clothes, the house, everything. WTF
