We need to make a Jack Monroe iceberg. The persona she presents to the public verses all the tit you find when you scratch the surface.
Re ADHD "I am not a spokesperson, I just talk about it sometimes."
Complicit. Definitely complicit.Ickle smol Jack to her followers, shameless grifter at best (or evil animal abusing thief at worst) to us. She isn't even convincing in her attempts at cosplaying being an ADHD or autism sufferer. It's just a game to her. I wonder what BB Louisa thinks of the article. Remember she tweeted about Jack inventing healthy start vouchers? I am constantly torn between thinking she is complicit in some of Jack's nonsense or she is a victim.

And she does this while also saying, almost invariably in a separate tweet, that she isn't a spokesperson. It's the very definition of how to have it both ways - styling her experience as representative while giving herself a disclaimer to point to. She knows what she's doing.Whatever ailment or condition she has, she says "this is what it is like to have X, this is what it is like to have Y". She never acknowledges that people experience these things differently.

Please don't let her get to you xx She really rattled me last night, it was genuinely upsetting.Re ADHD "I am not a spokesperson, I just talk about it sometimes."
Sometimes? Every day. Also every time she cocks something up, everytime she is called out, everytime she misses a deadline, everytime she wants money, everytime she is challenged, everytime she wants attention, every damned day. Tedious, lying grifter.
No wonder she can't sustain a relationship, she is a gaslighting emotional sponge, needing constant attention, compliments and affirmation.
She is getting to me again. Why do I let her?
Not to defend Jack but in the interest of accuracy, there are more than a few days apart between those photos as she filmed with Marcus before Manchester went into lockdown.Those two photographs are a few days apart. Look at the hair on the facetuned one, and then look at the hair of the Marcus video. I know I go on about her hair, my friend's teenager child has alopecia totalis, no hair whatsoever. No eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair anywhere. Think of what they go through and then think of her self pitying woe is me my hair is coming out in clumps attention seeking Jack.
There's a children's alopecia self help group, and once a year they have a weekend away where all the kids ditch their wigs. It is so humbling to see girls and boys just being themselves away from taunting and teasing. The support and encouragement these children show each other is amazing. Children from as young as 5 up to teenagers, they are full of joy and happiness, no self pity about their situation at all. Jack has no idea, she makes me so angry.
Agree. It needs blown up a bit. Pitiful amount of likes and retweets for an important article, especially when you compare it to the drivel that the likes of Jack gets thousands of people retweetingInstead of tweeting BB and the writer, I wish the squiggles would tweet the article to the Daily Mail. And the Guardian- they turn on their own.
I must admit, I have no experience of ADHD, no one I know has been diagnosed to my knowledge. I say this, because not everyone shouts it from the rooftops, every hour of every single day. I don't doubt that I have met people with ADHD, at my age it would be a miracle if I hadn't. People get on with their lives and tell people when it is appropriate for them to know. They do not let it define them.Please don't let her get to you xx She really rattled me last night, it was genuinely upsetting.
The thing about blaming adhd for lateness is particularly jarring. Adults with adhd tend to be the other way round. So paranoid about being late they are often early. A girl I work with has it and always hands in projects really early because shes so frightened of missing the deadline.
This is only my experience, not claiming to be an expert! But it just reeks of more bullshit from JM
Yes, I was pointing out the way in which it had grown back thick and strong. I wanted to compare it with the example of my friends teenage child that has no hair whatsoever. Yet Jack complains that she has thinning hair, which she hasn't. It wasn't about the rate of growth just the sheer thickness of her hair.Not to defend Jack but in the interest of accuracy, there are more than a few days apart between those photos as she filmed with Marcus before Manchester went into lockdown.
