Iām a relatable single ma,with no qualifications,poor poor me ?Probably that was the angle .Will the tears make you forget me shoving me designer purchases down your throat?What is the story with her accent on her stories today? Sheās gone full inner city where she usually sounds quite posh?![]()
Maybe if L didnāt write that statement on Instagram. I canāt see J going back after that and I think L knows it. I related the vlog there and you can see she is missing J. Saying none of her friends get her job struggles, how sheās lonely, how she was ādoing really well when it was both of usā (when J was doing the work)ā¦ as I said before I wouldnāt be surprised if L tried mend things with J, but J seems so much happier and herself now I canāt see her going backI do think in years to come they may be able to rekindle their friendship again. They had such an open relationship with eachother. They spoke on the podcast about experiences that i wouldnt tell anyone in my life. A bond like that has to be difficult to lost. For sure mixing business with pleasure can be a bad idea. I think it went from loving hanging out together and hanging out when they wanted to to having to get together for work and relying on the other for content etc. I can hear it sometimes in the unpopular opinion podcast as well. I can see at times they are grating on eachother.
Maybe but not until long after the wedding I'd imagine, L is the type to get up and do an unannounced drunk speech at your wedding for sure.Despite everything, I'd love to see them rekindle.
They had a friendship I was seriously envious of.
Iām gonna throw out a total speculation but Iād say Js perception of that was very much because that was the overall vibe of their working & personal relationship. J doing all the work to compensate for how she was made feel like a not funny, less talented, less popular it gal. L turning up once a week to cash a massive monthly paycheque. J struggling with tattle hate (based on nothing really) and L not being supportive and since admitted she didnāt care? So toxic.Its been pointed out here that Ls world has turned upside down as she thought she was the draw for It Gals. J said in her vlog (i'm paraphrasing) but something along the lines of just being the sidekick to the popular girl, so she obviously thought the same.
itās the fact she says āthis is not the place to criticise meā -not give hate, not be nasty, just canāt take criticism that I have an issue with. You just canāt run a biz like that-not take feedback from people?? And she keeps changing the service and she doesnāt want feedback? Honestly you just canāt run a business like that
When they first started, I felt like maybe J had listened to an amazing podcast called Guys We Fucked and gotten the idea. Its my favourite podcast, run by two actual comedians based in NYC and itās been running for 7 or 8 years. They walked so itgalz could run but itgalz didnāt take things to the same level. GWF is on luminary now (paywalled) but im pretty sure thereās still years worth of free podcasts (wherever you get your podcasts) before they made the move to luminary. Highly recommend!! I pay for luminary purely for them.View attachment 844226
has anyone listened to the new itgalz? I mean itās a carbon copy but itās definitely made me realise how much Iāve outgrown this type of thing and so have L&J
Thereās still an audience for this āgirlhood craicā but made itās time to hand over the reigns?
they have (wasnāt one of their first eps about friendship breakups?) but they never had so much on the line or a massive public fallout before. My guess is someone will try but the bridge is burnedI think they will too. They seem to have fallen in and out with each other before
