In all seriousness, if anyone would be willing to share a template message to send to brands, I would really appreciate it - I've just written one on Instagram to Joanie clothing but not sure if I worded it well or got my point across clearly.We best all send them a message then

Alex Steadman still following though...
Hey there! As a brand I love and have purchased from many times in the past, I just wanted to highlight that a new blog/account has popped up called @theleoparduk with ex-influencer Hannah Gale at the front of it. You may recall that before she took a break from the internet, Hannah was asked to apologise for racist slurs she had made in previous blog posts. With her new venture, it seems sheās not actively addressing what she learned from being held accountable, or properly apologised for what she did and people in minority communities are still very upset about it. It has now also come to light that rather than address this issue and open up a dialogue, sheās using instagramās filters to block keywords such as āracismā āBLMā and āapologyā on her posts. Therefore, I hope that your brand will not be working with her in future or offering her any gifted or discounted products. I would very much appreciate a response to this message. Best wishes.
Sure! This is what Iāve been sending to brands...

Nah, justice should come higher than our entertainment. Lazy and ignorant doesnāt deserve successPart of me thinks Hannah deserves The Leopard to fail but another part of me hopes it doesnāt crash and burn so we can keep this thread alive
this is great - could anyone (sorry this sounds superlazy) but update on stuff she was promoting ? I do not follow her anymore
So have they not posted anything on their Instagram today? No stories and no grid?
Charlotte Louise Taylor also still following...
I followed her a couple of years ago then unfollowed her now Iām interested... whatās happened? Sorry Iām way behind
There's also a Facebook page for The Leopard but it's got a very small following..
Boy oh boy. Basically... ever since she had Atti (child number one) her entire content consisted of her complaining about having to ever look after him, because she wanted to spend all day every day lying in bed playing animal crossing or watching Greyās Anatomy or Jane The Virgin. Occasionally we would be treated to complaints of how greasy her hair or how spotty her skin was because she hadnāt washed either for over a week, and would also pick up dirty crumpled clothes off her bedroom floor and take mirror selfies like āLOL it me Iām so relatable ladsā. She had a weird obsessive love for talking about her menstrual cycle and mercury being in retrograde. Sheād Chuck a few #aff links in every now and again to various midi skirts, and seemed to survive solely off of Aldi pretzel chocolate and pineapple fried rice.
She then got pregnant with baby number two (another boy named Ziggy). Her ācontentā was still the same just with even MORE complaining. About a week after she announced the pregnancy she threw a huge strop and flounced off the āgram because in an old blog post from 2013 she used a racial slur. She was called out at the time for it and many other times over the last 7 years, but ignored/blocked every single person who pulled her up on it. And then all of a sudden after the BLM movement this year she got pulled up on it again and it caused quite an uproar. She issued a tit apology claiming nobody pointed it out to her at the time or that she didnāt notice if they had (lies which I think we had proof of somewhere). Then when nobody would accept her tit apology she flounced and made a dramatic āgoodbye cruel Instagram worldā post and that was that.
however last week she came back to Instagram running a new page/blog with some random woman named Gemma, peddling the same old tat she did before. No mention of an apology or what she had learned during her time away or how she had been working to educate herself on racism, etc. Many people began pointing this out to her and she issued some tit hastily worded and put together statement basically saying āIāve said Iām sorry and thatās thatā. And has ever since limited and blocked comments on posts so nobody can say anything about it. She is basically just sweeping everything under the carpet hoping it all just goes away and she can earn a few quid in time for Christmas on Christmas shopping swipe ups.
They used to socialise together I remember them doing photo shoots / lunchās together i wonder if they are still friends ?
Probably are but Erica is one of the few people I follow who has continued to try and be more diverse. Every Friday in her round up of what she's enjoyed a big proportion of her recommendations are POC. So many folk posted in support of BLM and had lists of "here's what I'm going to do..." but radio silence since.
The comments on the latest post have been deleted now.
Scratch that. Just a bug on my phone.

I think sheās fucked it. If she had come back with a different approach and made actual changes she could have made it work. The blocking of words and not condemning the racist-apologisers in her comments has fucked it now. Itās not good enough.
Itās rinse repeat for them, get called out, go silent, Iāve noticed they just started following black history and black minds, HANNAH tell us what youāve done to educate yourself on racial slurs and micro aggressions? Itās bullshit that she still hasnāt suggested how she has educated herself! Just some bollocks
This is exactly why the discussion about Hannahās use of the racist slur is so important
Thatās actually heartbreaking
