On the privilege point - not only is her grandfather a KNIGHT, her uncles include a Grammy winner and a Brown University professor who studied at OXFORD (coincidence?)
To me it’s quite simple - would Grace have been accepted into her Oxford without her upbringing? Absolutely not.
She has mediocre grades, but was surrounded by people both at school and home who had been through the process and could coach her through the “perfect” interview. At great expense to her parents, she was taught at both the Royal Academy of Music and multiple private schools, including the best private school in the UK for girls (where 44% got accepted to Oxbridge this year) and at Salisbury Cathedral where she was a chorister. She was rejected for her original choice (was it PPE?) and was only accepted for music ON THE CONDITION that she join her college choir. Everything that her parents provided her set her up for that Oxford acceptance. The odds were completely stacked in her favour.
Second - would she have been so successful if it wasn’t for Oxford? Absolutely not. Granted, Oxford didn’t help her career in the traditional sense, but it made her stand out as an influencer. Every YT video would be”What I Eat in a Day at Oxford” or “Day in the Life at Oxford”. Even the location tags in her Insta posts were Oxford.
Yes, her initial following came before uni but it was only when she went to uni that she blew up. It wasn’t just the fitness content, it was the fact she was something people hadn’t seen before - a ripped white girl living in a mansion in Kensington and attending one of the best universities in the world. It was completely aspirational - people didn’t follow Grace, they wanted to BE Grace.
So yes, not everybody in Grace’s position has built huge companies. But almost everybody in Grace’s position would have gone on to be hugely successful, and if they hadn’t they would have had to have done something significantly wrong.
Has she ever in her life acknowledged her true privilege, beyond being white and having been to private school (she never specifies which by the way)? Never. It’s not just the fact that she’s white, it’s everything I’ve said above plus more, but to admit that would make Grace seem far less impressive than she is.
Not only does she not acknowledge her true privilege, but she actively downplays it-
- Claims she could only attend Oxford due to choral scholarship. In reality was worth just a couple hundred a year and she quit after the first term.
- Claims she was almost kicked out of university because she couldn’t afford her student loan. It was a student finance error that was quickly resolved.
- Once said she lives in “Wiltshire” to seem relatable, failing to mention she only lived there as part of Salisbury Cathedral’s boarding school that cost tens of thousands a year (this was primary school by the way)
Its damaging, dishonest and honestly just annoying to read lol

I saw this one on Facebook the other day which reminded me of Grace.
“send me on a holiday with influencers”.
This is such a Grace thing to say. Implying that she is not an influencer herself and placing herself above them. “Send me”, as if she didn’t make the conscious decision herself to go on this holiday with 3 random influencers. She is insufferable.

not Grace trying to flex that her ‘competitive salary’ team are working when they should be off sick????Please tell me this was one of you guys
‘out of pure kindness and love for the brand’ - so you mean you consistently rely on the ‘goodwill’ of your employees to get work done rather than employing enough people, prioritising workload properly and compensating employees? do they even provide sick pay? maybe Grace could’ve helped with the launch instead of dicking about with her 800 word Instagram schedules?? nobody’s going to die if TALA delay their 40th identical launch of the year for a day or so.
i use accessibility software to help me proofread, because it’s called a reasonable adjustment and I am legally entitled to reasonable adjustments at work. TALA must be an HR nightmare

15 trips. 8 countries. And three more trips coming up. She's out of her fucking mind to say that she's been working so hard that she can no longer travel. All the above were during a global pandemic, crippling inflation, and a war. Stop saying that you dont travel enough Grace. You've been to more countries during the pandemic than I've ever been in my life. Just have your ~silly~ summer in peace and live the life of a planet destroying millionaire. We don't care. But FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. STOP COMPLAINING THAT YOU'RE WORKING TOO MUCH AND NOT TRAVELLING ENOUGH.
thank you bye

Putting this up before she deletes it
Lol so her argument is "OK but how do you explain that I'm SO MUCH RICHER than my sisters???" She's tacky af. Imagine hearing your sibling saying something like that about you.
I used to work in a local planning authority so I have a different perspective, but developers have to commit to about 30% of their housing being affordable or social when they get the contract.
Typically about half way through the developer will cry 'viability', which involves them claiming the build has cost more than they expected, or sales won't reach projections, so they need to sacrifice some of the social housing to build more luxury and make up for the "loss". They might also pivot and say they'll contribute community assets in other ways, like building a garden or renting out units to local businesses.
The local authority is reliant on S106 payments from these developers, which are basically lump sums for community infrastructure that the council uses to keep things like transport, schools, parks and other services running. The bigger the development the bigger the cheque.
The councils are underfunded and desperately need that money, so if the developer pulls out or abandons the project they're fucked. So they say alright, fine, you only have to build 10% affordable instead of 30%, as long as it means you'll finish the project and pay for our local infrastructure. They know it's BS but the developers have powerful lawyers to fight their case and the councils.. well... Don't.
So this is how you end up with thousands of luxury flats in places like Battersea which are supposed to include affordable homes for local people, but in reality are bought up by foreign property investors (or mugs like Grace), and the housing crisis goes on.

Yeah honestly she says she mentions her privilege in every single interview, but the most I've ever seen her admit to is being white, cis, conventionally attractive, born in the UK, that sort of thing. Which yea of course that's privileged but it's privilege that millions of people have including most of her fans. I've *never* seen her admit to having multi millionaire parents and a knighted grandfather who have connections with very high up people. That is very unique privilege that sets her apart from most privileged people but she never admits to THAT. (Flashback to that interviewer who mentions her grandfather and her awkward ~thats true~ response lol)

I swear when people used to ask grace about doing student discount she’d screenshot the message to story with a passive aggressive reply like
UHHHH get SO MANY of these requests in my dm’s. Our products are literallly as cheap as they could possibly be!!!!!! We don’t have margins like PLT. Anyone who can do a student discount is categorically UNSUSTAINABLE. You won’t get these price points anywhere for the qualities and ethics I’m shoving in your face. Save up and buy. I’ve not even taken a salary for all this work yet smh

The amount of flexing she did about her employees getting "duvet days" when they don't need to work if they don't feel like it, when in fact they don't even get sick leave when they're in hospital 
Those Cartier bracelets are a really useful way of warning everyone around you that you're a wanker

Simple, just call everything a meeting and everyone you're dealing with a team. For example I had a meeting earlier with the supply team ( went to get my shopping at Lidl)Gosh I wish ‘CALL: WITH FURNISHING TEAM FOR NEW FLAT’ counted at work for most of us!

Looks like Tala’s new launch hasn’t impressed the owner of AYM - a brand Grace used to wear and promote all the time. She’s now just ripped off their core pieces
