I think it's a deliberate PR move to continue to act coy and vague about her privilege. As long as she makes vague statements like "I'm privileged", her followers will assume she is getting unfair criticism and swear up and down that Grace is transparent. I think it's because her followers will be comparing to her other influencers - there's a dime a dozen white, middle-class, privately educated influencers, so people are probably wondering why it's Grace getting the brunt of this criticism. She dances around the reality that she was born into a family of millionaires because I think she knows most of her following still doesn't realise exactly how wealthy her family is.
You can tell she has no idea. The way she markets tala as affordable irks me and shows how out of touch she is- or when she calls anything affordable really!
tala selling £40 leggings (won’t even go into skin luxe
)
£15 a thong
£15 a pair of socks
£75 a fleece
And if you challenge her on it being affordable she goes on about how low the profit margins are, matching other brands etc. Maybe, but your idea of affordable brands is anything cheaper than lulu. Most people it’s Tesco £8 leggings.
you can say your products are fairly priced- don’t use word affordable
if airbus had a 50% off sale on bloody planes it would be a damn good deal, wouldn’t make them all of a sudden affordable just because it’s cheaper than something else. Especially when talking about luxury items like additional leggings.

She really tried to make the tweet about “hustle culture” when the tweet was more focused on the denial of privilege and wealth that Grace has participated in. The tweet definitely was critiquing hustle culture but not in the same way Grace was. She was deliberately skipping over the point in order to 1) advertise her book and 2) make it look like she cares about privilege. I’m so tired of her and other influencers getting SO CLOSE to the point and then skipping over the parts they don’t like.
Can't even listen to her bullshit, her teeth look so ridiculous its distracting
Maybe not a fantastic-quality source, but seems like this is getting a little bit of attention- https://www.the-sun.com/news/2217807/grace-beverley-instagram-fitness-star-gracefituk/
This is an old article they've updated- probably because that tweet got attention
I remember her talking about PTSD related to a car accident and injury she had?
I like how in her screenshot of the tweet it had like 24k RT and now it’s on like 250k RT so I guess she’s just drawn people to it haha. Also I asked her why she didn’t say anything about whay her flatmate said about how she isn’t privileged and other people are just lazy which is super problematic
i think she mentioned having PTSD in the 2nd (maybe 3rd) year of uni, for some reason I always thought that the car accident was when she was small & that’s why she stopped gymnastics
I don’t think it sits very right for her to suddenly bring up abuse
I’m so over hearing people with generational wealth bleat on about working hard, most people ‘work hard’ and the people who I would say work the hardest are those who physical work, long hours on their feet all day like nurses, retail staff, people who collect the bins. What Grace/people of her ilk don’t seem to realise is her working hard is not why she is successful otherwise all the people I’ve just mentioned would be rich as well. She’s successful because she has parents with money, connections, a private school background. It’s not a confounding factor to be mentioned alongside her ‘hard’ work. It’s directly constitutive of her success. She could’ve worked ‘less’ hard and still been as successful because that’s how that whole privilege works. For someone who is soooo educated she’s not very smart.
