It Galz #5 It Galz, we the Split Galz, no Jenny and Lindsay gone to Tommy tit galz

[Irishgal8]

I would actually argue that J and L have agreed not to tell anyone what happened, more than likely because if it was tattle related, which is a total guess right now, it would end L's chances of anything successful, and J wouldn't want that for the kids.

I dont get this angle. If L was doing this, J would hardly hand over her business to her?

Listening to old ItGalz eps the last few days has really shown me that Lindsay was actually a pretty tit friend to Jenny multiple times with different things.
Examples off the top of my head- Ditchin Jenny when she got with Jimmy, resulting in their Gal Pal break up #1, they used to have a third friend who Jenny introduced Lindsay to and apparently the friend started to treat Jenny really badly but Lindsay kept up that friendship until the friend wronged her (shows a general lack of loyalty imo and seemed to hurt Jenny), tried it on with Jennys brother (not a huge deal and Jenny didn't seem to care but kind of uncool)
Compared to how unbelievably loyal Jenny has been to Lindsay and how she's dealt with being dropped and picked up through all Lindsays drama, it's very contrasting. Jenny hypes Lindsay a lot in those early pods, they both hype Lindsay but nobody really hypes Jenny which has probably lead us all to think that it's Lindsay who "brought the content", when even I'm learning she actually didn't.

These are just observations, I've many posts here defending Lindsay and some throwing shade on Jennys actions so I'm just thinking out loud here (nooo I'm not Jenny or one of her gang) and my opinion changes with every new piece of information and I've no shame in that

This is so off topic given all the drama that’s going on, but what happened to L’s dog? Haven’t seen it in months

She would if she was thinking she wanted out anyway. Also if she's confident in her abilities (which I think she is) she's not insecure about leaving half a business when her business partner is a loose cannon. It must have been withering flitting between knowing she did no prep or background reading before a podcast and reigning her in from making libelous statements or cancelling the show.

Jenny was probably done with the bullshit months ago, she hasn’t been herself and has stated that publicly, having a toxic work environment which is an unstable source of income when you planning your mortgage/life goals for the next 5 years could have contributed to that. The pod was suffering and so too was their friendship but it would have taken something monumentally to risk it and start a new venture, whatever went down had to be the straw that broke the camels back. Jenny didn’t walk away either, Lindsey will have to buy her out meaning she will most likely be getting a large percentage of the profits for awhile going forward. Jenny has industry experience and knew she had options for a stable job that you don’t have to divulge your private life in order to get paid

They are heading in very different directions, surrounding themselves with very different people so it was obviously going to have to end at some point.

Jenny hanging out with Roz Purcell, she's so positive never says a bad word about anyone and seems so genuine... Lindsay chooses to be around the likes of Claire Balding and Kneevo.

Reminds me of that saying, show me your friends and I'll show you who you are.

The prospect of Lindsay stuck in a cycle of z list instagram dramas, crappy relationships, fuelled by alcohol, surrounded by negative hateful bitchy instagram "pals" telling her she's amazing, her sisters picking up the pieces every time she fucks up, her refusal to process her traumas/issues...it's a depressing mess. Just contrasting that with Jenny, I don't worry about Jenny at all. Jenny has had and continues to have a lot of stability in her life, both family, romantically and in friendships. Lindsay is so dysfunctional. It's easy to think she's hard-shelled because of her sass and the little bitchy microaggressions towards Jenny with liking those comments and lapping up the praise and support she's getting, but she's sensitive, insecure, has so many issues which continue to go unresolved. It doesn't matter what she says or how confident she comes across, under it all she's a very damaged person and that makes me worry. Hope she gets help.

Tbh I think L ravels in the toxicity/chaos, she constantly harps on about the ‘church’, her abusive ex’s, how hard her upbringing was living in a stable home, with a loving patents without any financial worries, she is the constant victim and thinks she is malahides own Amy Winehouse, the tourtured soul who had it worse than anyone else. When In actual fact it’s all self indulgent bull that she uses as an excuse for her selfish behaviour. Give L the chance to make the right decision and she will always choose the other and then blame someone for the crappy outcome

I am the daughter of two extremely religious parents. I felt loved by them and had a mostly happy sheltered childhood, but I am also quite damaged emotionally from them. There's a lot of complicated feelings there in relation to stigam, guilt, needing their approval, not meeting their expectations, perfectionism, attachment etc etc. Lindsay's mam and dad's nice house doesn't really mean anything when she needed them not to fill her head with fire and brimstone bollix and forced her to marry her abusive ex.
Also, everyone has their own stuff to deal with. When they open up about it and get told it's self-indulgent, that's when people start feeling guilty for opening up and wanting help. Don't do that. Money and your postcode mean duck all in this scenario. No one is immune from emotional/MH issues, especially when your parents are religious loons.

What you described is the majority of traditional Irish catholic households, her two sisters seemed to have navigated life without drama and chaos, you can’t blame your parents/the way you were raised for all your mistakes and faults. Parents are never perfect and rarely emotionally satisfy their children, especially Irish parents who were emotionally stunted by their parents and the cycle goes back for generations. You either choose to let their shortcomings define you or you decide you will define your own life. Having trauma in your past doesn’t give you a free pass to be an irresponsible mother who craves drama and instability

I never said it was a free pass. Some people have better resilience than others to be able to cope with this stuff. My main takehome is that I acknowledge she's had a tit time, I kind of get it, and I hope she gets help because she needs it.

It seems to live with L’s mam and dad.. the novelty of having a dog wore off quickly

In fairness, Jenny used to slag Roz off on the pod all the time without specifically naming her (skinny body positivity instagrammers and hiker girls etc) but only became friends with her when she got with Evan as she’s his best friend
It’s not like she’s chosen a positive influence to hang around with on purpose

on the other hand, I do think the new circle will rid some toxicity out of her life

 

[Andreaohmy2]

Both lindsays sisters still follow jenny

Sarah didnt for a few days. I dont know I just wouldnt be so quick to condeme L when we dont know what happened yet.

I would actually argue that J and L have agreed not to tell anyone what happened, more than likely because if it was tattle related, which is a total guess right now, it would end L's chances of anything successful, and J wouldn't want that for the kids.

Yes I agree that they defo dont want it getting out but if what L did on J was so bad that she left her well paying job and her creation, would she really care how L made her money? Kids or not?

 

[orla1989]

Also Lindsey grew up on chat rooms for example she started Ma’s who drink, she checks tattle almost daily. At some point she had to be tempted to start engaging with their threads, the girls were constantly pitted against each other so the only way to defend the constant criticisms was to put Jenny down in order to elevate herself, which is exactly what she has done publicly since they fell, only it back fired as it was as her motives were as transparent as water. I used to love L but the way she has conducted herself this year is awful, putting a man she knew for 5 minutes before her kids well being was so gross and damaging. She is making enough money to have an appartment which her teenage soon can have his own room and privacy but instead she decided to turn her cheap flat into a porno set for the 70’s. Anything bad that happens she blames on every ‘other party’ even tho she is always the common denominator. She needs to grow up and act like a mother rather than a spoilt, bitchy 20 year old with no responsibility. At every opportunity she brings up her ‘trauma’, she is so self obsessed she is blind to the long term trauma she is causing to her own kids.

Had no idea L started ma’s who drink

Her landlord found out about the dog she wasn’t supposed to have and made her get rid of it, so it lives with her parents now

Anyone else feel really bad for Jenny with all the support Lyndsey is getting on Instagram like Claire, Karla and all sharing it on their stories. Must be hard for Jenny seeing it but I don’t doubt she will come out on top of this

No. Those are vacuous insta pals, not real authentic friendships. They're bitchy nobodies that Jenny wouldn't give two fucks about tbh. Plus way more people liked jennys post so it looks like jenny has the popular vote.

 

[MainframeM8]

I hope they are both happy in the end tbh this is heartbreaking

 

[Sunflowerrose]

She worked for years in marketing, maybe that's why

Yeah that's what I thought! Sorry I didnt realise she had an Art History degree!
