I really feel for her, she is a nice girl no doubt about it. But I’m sorry even at 15 you know that word is wrong, it’s not even that word she used, if you look on Twitter she also made islamphobic and transphobic tweets. I think the reason it’s getting to a lot of people is because she does come on as a very well informed person on political matters, she has been preachy in the past. I think she has been knocked from her high horse and that stings.

but I’d hate to see it ruin this girls life, I can’t even begin to imagine the anxiety she has at the minute, I’d actually be sick.
She was a very very stupid young one and there is no excuse for what she wrote, not even her age. But I think she will have learned a very humbling experience in all this and I do think she will do better.

The tweets are horrific but I think she’s handled it as best she can. We’ve all made mistakes at 15, there’s plenty I’d like to do over…. It’s the problem with the internet though, it’s just always there ready to come back and bite a certain age group. Also don’t agree the banana powder comment was racist, it’s a well known make up product that every dog and it’s mother was all about for a while.

I actually think she handled it really well and maturely.

Any other influencer in similar situations has come on crying and then taken a break for their mental health #bekind

She owned it well i think.

I always think that if i was to ever become famous the first thing id do would be delete my twitter. I dont think theres anything bad on it, but i wouldnt be taking chances tbh

 

[FionaHiggs]

Wow that’s really bad. I really liked her. Terrible to judge someone based on their teenage years as we all made mistakes but it’s turkey dreadful stuff.

Does she have cancer? Sorry I don’t follow her at all, only know of her through the tweet drama

Yeah she had ovarian cancer just there about a month ago and was in hospital for a few weeks. Luckily caught it at a very early stage but needed surgery to remove the tumour. Seems to not have metatised so chemo isn’t needed but will need to keep an eye on it.
Came on stories and was really really informative. Didn’t do what Terror McAvoid done and played it up bigger than what it was. Stated facts, said she was really lucky that she was listened to by her doctors and it was caught early. Wasn’t overly emotional for sympathy and shared tones of infographics about the symptoms of ovarian cancer and the names of doctors to go speak to about symptoms if you have them. I must say she sometimes grates me about her “holier than thou” attitude but I have to say her stories were very well done in that regard

I haven't really since this mentioned anywhere but has anyone seen Graceys racist tweets on Twitter? She tweeted something about a love Island contestant and her racist tweets were discovered. She also tweeted transphobic and islamophobic stuff. Sickening vile stuff.

I saw it. There were so many of them I’m mortified for her because she loves preaching from her pulpit about what’s right & wrong & telling us all how to behave. She’s the ultimate influencer lick arse I am glad she has been called out

 

[Ratsout]

I think what made it so much worse was that she was self appointed BLM queen during the protests

 

[Thump]

Truly…

I just did a deep dive and she was caught by saying something about a LOve Island contestant which has racist undertones. There’s a video of them typing various words into her Twitter feed and absolute vile things coming back out. I’d say that’s the end of her now online.

To be fair I don’t think the love island comment was racist, banana powder is an actual beauty product. Maybe I’m just naïve and she was being racist, I just took it at face value and banana powder was a huge thing with beauty YouTubers a while back. The love island girl was wearing very heavy makeup under her eyes the whole time which was really obvious on screen so I thought she was genuinely just referring to that. The old tweets tho, there’s no excuse for them.

Anyone have the tweets or how we can see them?

Here's some of them. I just searched her name on twitter.

It's been over a week now and all has quietened down. I knew this would all blow over. There was no way this was every going to 'ruin her life.'
Of course what she tweeted 10-12 years ago was disgusting, but to be fair to her she took responsibility and admitted what she wrote was wrong and apologised. She didn't brush it under the rug and ignore it like so many others would have.

Exactly. I do feel sorry for the girl a bit cause the banana powder was clearly taking out of complete context and she was 14 when she tweeted the horrific ones. She’s had a tough time of late with the cancer diagnosis but this needs to be a learning lesson to all to make sure your socials are squeaky clean cause there’s always gonna be someone who will look back and pull you up on it

 

[NotGonnaLieToYou]

I think it's a good lesson to everyone, especially those in their 20's, that what you put up on the internet stays up on the internet. And can be found by perspective employers, friends, partners, your kids etc.

 

[Madamex]

She focused on her age in her stories. I get that we've all done things we regret in our teens but being racist/transphobic etc isn't the kind of things I think of when people say that. I'm older than her and grew up in a very different time and would never have thought any of that was ok and neither would my friends. She definitely knew it wasn't ok at the time. Also I think she tried to portray herself as the victim in her stories where she never actually apologised. She only apologised in the written response.

 

[NoseyNiamh]

But the N word has never been in my vocabulary yet it was all over her twitter.
This has been a lesson learned over and over again by influencers, the silly girl should have cleaning up her social media.

 

[Ratsout]

Thanks! It’s a pity she doesn’t have any of that saved as a highlight (as far as I can see anyway!) as I’d be interested in hearing about her experience.

I’m so surprised she doesn’t because it was such a good and informative chat that she done

 

[I got up at 5am]

She handled it well. Her coming on owning it and apologising is the best she or anyone can do in this situation. Hopefully people just accept her apology and don’t hound her or abuse her. Also she would do well to lecture less now herself. None of us are perfect

 

[NoseyNiamh]

I did as well. She’s a massive catfish as well

She looks like a completely different person in real life

 

[Madamex]

I saw it. There were so many of them I’m mortified for her because she loves preaching from her pulpit about what’s right & wrong & telling us all how to behave. She’s the ultimate influencer lick arse I am glad she has been called out

Exactly!! I stopped following her a good while ago because she was so annoying.

 

[dddddddddddd]

Her make up ‘looks’ have to be a joke - they are horrendous

I'd be shocked if it is tbh. No one seems to give a shit when influencers etc say racist things in this country. Her tweets are particularly bad but others in the past have gotten away with it. I don't think she's lost any followers on Instagram so far. She's gone private hoping it'll all blow over.
