Completely agree with everything you said. This part you mentioned is exceptionally disgusting to me. I've met a lot of people who do this - it's like they're fetishizing poverty and it's seriously weird and gross. Literally some people I went to school with would actively shop at places like urban outfitters or whatever and go out of their way to "dress poor" but buy those clothes from expensive places that the people they're "trying to look like" could never afford and worst, get insulted for looking that way as you mentioned. Some weird ass reverse classism tit i don't even know what to call it. I see a lot of influencers like this too. Grace all up in that aesthetic with Balenciaga sneakers and a fendi pimp ring is on a whole other level of insult that I don't have the words for.
Grace Beverley #5 no mask on your face, you big disGRACE, spreading C-19 all over the place!

Lol why she got her name as her computer background
And i love how they included a the pic of the insta post where she was literally threatening to sue people (before she deleted all the comments)
At this point she surely must believe her own lies, it’s astounding how she’s still keeping up this act. Like how far is her head stuck in the sand.
She probably really doesn’t see her priviledge, hypocracy and narcisism
She probably really doesn’t see her priviledge, hypocracy and narcisism
So the real reason why she didn't upload her home tour is because it was going to be featured in hello instead!
Failing to mention her mum is a millionaire hmm they really have framed her as a working class girl who got lucky lol
God this is so pretentious
Definitely framed as a working class girl.
Also glad we were finally told the story of how she decided to start calling herself an "entrepreneur"
She would definitely respond to that and say ‘you’re just hating because I’m a FEMALE CEO and people are intimidated by my success
’Okay so my rant earlier applies to other ways she alludes to growing up working class, as the quote isn't quite what I thought it was...
But actually saying about her mum working full time is just as annoying. Why not just say she worked hard or whatever, why does the emphasis have to be on her working full time and how much that inspired her? Guessing it was because in her bubble a lot of the women didn't have to work, ie had the luxury of choice; just as her mum had. Having access to whatever support you require such as nannies, as many nursery hours as you require and cleaners etc and working in a job many aspire to have and absolutely love is not the same as the vast majority of mums who have obstacles in returning to work full time. It's so far detached from reality I can't even. She makes out like she was grafting down the mines to put food onto the table, she really needs to stop pushing this narrative and just be honest.

Wow this is so disingenuous. If someone who didn’t know anything about her was reading this article, they would easily assume she came from a working class background - the weird comments about her mum working full time (as if that's unusual?) and that she had to start her businesses to cope with the living costs of uni. I can't believe she is acting as though she had to start her businesses out of some kind of financial necessity... she chose not to take the tuition and maintenance loans, which is something which only rich people have the privilege of doing. And she keeps on bringing up this ban on part time work that Oxford has for undergrads, as if it was some kind of barrier to her specifically. People who actually come from low income families are eligible for means-tested maintenance loans to cover those living costs, and Oxford has a generous bursary system for these students to ensure they aren't forced to work alongside their studies which would cause them to suffer academically. If she hung out with any students with that kind of background she would know that, but she has latched on to this 'you can't work at Oxford, that's so problematic!' because she has realised it allows her to pretend that she had to launch the business to make ends meet. She was doing absolutely fine without the businesses with her income stream from her sponsored PLT hauls.
Does anyone think the “someone I’m working with, who’s an older man”, is her dad? Lol.

It's telling to me that it's unusual to her that her mum worked full time? I don't know anyone (regardless of if they are from a 2 or 1 parent household) who has a parent that doesn't work full time. The only time I can think of where this is affordable is when someone literally cant afford the childcare before their kids start school. She's very detached from reality in a lot of ways.
To be fair I would say the majority of my friends have returned to work part time following mat leave, although it's absolutely not anything that unusual to go back full time. I work full time, the cheapest childcare we could find is £1k a month, which is more than some people earn; it's not surprising really that some cannot afford to go back or just don't want to as they want more of a balance. It is hard doing a full week, and then stuff around the house, having a social life and spending quality time with your little one. I love it, but my goodness it would be substantially easier if we were rolling in money and could afford a nanny rather than nursery, a cleaner, even a cook hah. All things that her mum had at her fingertips, which is great you know, anything that makes life easier for women to carry on working if they choose to- it's the way she's now lauding it as inspirational.
Thanks for sharing!! And lmao at her saying that writing a book is hard, and "starting a business was the easy part!" Umm yeah cuz of Genflow???? My eyes cannot roll far back enough...
Also maybe starting the business was "easy", but keeping it running WELL is clearly another story.
Hang on, so B_ND is called Shreddy for good now?
B_ND is like a subsidiary of Shreddy now I think, like Shreddy is B_ND’s parent company. No idea how that happened when b_nd came from gfuk being rebranded, confused about it myself tbh.
Still confused that Shreddy is the only one grace is actually listed as owner of on companies house & it was group seventy1 or something like that that was owner/directors of tala & b_nd not that long ago, can’t find them now but from the info I read then it was some old people that seemed to own it
New follower of this thread here.
I stumbled upon Grace a few years ago and was impressed by her drive and determination at such a young age. She portrayed herself as go-getter and while she acknowledged being privileged, it came off as someone who was upper middle class but of the less monied sort- Private school on scholarship, £25/pm pocket money, Saturday job and struggling to pay her University fees etc. So, while I recognised her to be a privileged girl, I didn't realise the extent of it, given that she downplays it to an amazing extent.
I am SHOCKED at how duplicitous this girl is when it comes to her background. Thanks to info on this thread I've found out about her real background and her parents.
Her Mother is the daughter of a Sir, who founded one of the largest contracting firms in the UK which owned the Cunard Line and QE2 and the Ritz! He had obituaries in world leading broadsheets following his death and has his own Wikipedia page for God sake!
Her Mother is a gifted musician, who was a senior curator for the V&A until January (her knighted father was interestingly on the board of trustees in the 80s). The Mothers Grandfather was a sucessful, Oxbridge educated solicitor, who died relatively young in WWII, so he didn't leave behind a huge amount of wealth but he was married to a notable painter who was also extremely well educated and from a wealthy background, that allowed Graces Grandfather to enjoy an expensive private education and move in rarefied circles.
Furthermore, the Mothers great grandfather was a celebrated musician and the youngest member of the Leeds Orchestra at 14 years old back in the early 1900s and her step brother is a famous musician and song writer. The maternal side of her family is extemely upper crust and affluent on a scale an ordinary person can't fathom, given that Graces Grandfather was worth millions when he died and was known as a "tycoon".
That's not counting in Graces Father who we know is also extemely successful, if from a less notable background.
How this woman can sit there and say she is entirely "self-made" and has had no help, apart from an expensive private education, is beyond me. It's not all about being given money- it's also about the contacts, the life experiences and access to opportunities that such a privileged background affords you and she fails to acknowledge this. It is undeniable that these factors have played a huge part in her success. Case in point- she went to Oxford on a Music degree and surprise, surprise, she comes from a long line of talented and successful musicians and Oxbridge graduates. Can you sit there and tell me that this had nothing to do with her getting there?!
The mind boggles and the fact that she plays the "genteel" poverty card just sticks in my throat and quite frankly disgusts me. Talk about not acknowledging your privilege when that's all she claims to do... I honestly do wonder if her followed would be quite so keen on her if they knew all of this. I for one seriously doubt it.
P.S As an aside, regarding the extemely tanned body and oddly white boobs. She wrote a post years ago where she recommended fake tanning with a bandeau bikini top on. Apparently the resultant "tan-line" contours the breasts and is a desirable aesthetic
P.S.S The 'Sir' grandfather, while extemely successful and wealthy, was also obsessed with "scaling and growth" with regards to his company. It ended up in disaster when the company overstretched itself buying one company too many and found itself in hundreds of millions of pounds of debt and caused quite a commotion in the business world. Hmm... Sounds familiar, if on a much smaller scale. Perhaps it's a familial trate and Grace has such an obsession with CEO Boss Babe image because she is desperate to achieve the power, wealth and success her Grandfather did. Before it went tumbling down of course! Though his money was safe in offshore accounts, so no harm done. Wink wink.

For her to say stuff like ‘my mum works full time’ as if it explicitly hindered her growth is so insulting. Both my parents have worked full time and I barely see them. My mum was on £5.65 an hour four years ago doing 50+ hour shifts PER WEEK because we need to survive. Even then, my parents de everything they could to give us the bare minimum. Some days my dad doesn’t even earn £50 doing 12 hour shifts as a driver. The way she plays she’s working class is so horrible. I wish she really knew what working class people like me experience, I can’t even pay afford to pay for my A-Level resit exams (because my brother died during my initial 2019 sitting) and won’t be given a space for next year if I don’t do so. Since I need to take the summer exams, I have to pay for UCAS again (even though exams were cancelled and the majority got their grades and a U turn in grades, 20,000 resit students like myself have been neglected and are being forced to resit yet again, taking another painful depressing year out to make ends meet; those students who didn’t sit their exams get to go next year with secured seats and accommodation at the expense of people like me who actually have to sit their exams.) That’s classism, it’s something she’ll never experience. She had the choice of being able to pay off her loans herself and she took it, she didn’t pay it once on time cause she was stressed and suddenly woe is me! Underline she didn’t pay it on TIME. It’s not like she didn’t have the money! She makes me sick I hate that young girls look up to her when they’ll never be her because of the leverage she’s had in life.New follower of this thread here.

Side note her graduation pic always makes me think of the white girls movie LOL
I always thought her family’s extreme wealth was fairly obvious, especially in her earlier videos before uni and before 2nd yr uni. I used to love her old vlogs (sadly she has deleted quite a few) and enjoyed seeing her live her life in her Notting hill house. She was still quite likeable then so her background wasn’t an issue, it just made her stand out a bit. A bit like sunbeamsjess. Even though she was obviously v privileged, she still did normal things and wore normal clothes. Seemed a lot more humble. Now everything is so flashy and her privilege is downplayed. It’s like watching a different person.
