https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camila_Batmanghelidjh OT I know, but looks like there’s legal action pending as of Oct last year, against her holding directorships - she and Alan Yentob.

It’s very messy.
I know we’re all cut from a different cloth and some thrive on confrontation but there’s no way anyone can take on Chartwell, their connections and money without having some of the same.

I just saw that the ADHD comic person Jack was responding to wants to make the "wrong assumptions about ADHD" series into cards to hand out to other people.

We all know that's right up Jack's alley (see: her alcoholic phase), but Christ, what a weird idea. I have GAD and I can't imagine how embarrassed I'd feel passing out "wrap me in cotton wool and never criticise me" cards.

I think Camila is prob a bit persona non grata in respect of charitable endeavours.

She would still probably have supporters, despite everything. It doesn't take much to stir the sanctimonious squad, even with plenty of contrary evidence.

Fraus, is there a Bird thread on here? I saw this one today but couldn’t identify it. Any ideas? I tried using Identifly (great bird spotting app) but nothing came up.

What kind of saddo must you be, if the first thing you can think of to introduce yourself, is that you once used a food bank, 10 years ago?


Give her a few months and she'll be "on it".
something incorrect; that would be the whole of the smol urchin' s back story

I remember Camila's fall from grace really well.
Went from having all sorts of charity money thrown at her to court case pending.
It was quite spectacular when the media turned on her.

Jack just casually dropping that in so you can't tell if she just was a bit competitive about about skipping lunch, but then had a pie 'cause the co op had no ski yoghurt or had to be sectioned into specialist care
THIS MADE ME RAGE.
ETA: I mean Jack not Charitas

I was also anorexic and went to a grammar school and I’m not entirely sure what a “grammar school anorexic” is, but if she does just mean she skipped a few meals here and there cos her ~vapid grammar school chums~ liked to compete over it then sorry but that doesn’t make you any sort of “anorexic”. Fuck off. If she actually did suffer from an eating disorder (and tbh she could have, it’s quite normal for people to be flippant about past trauma) (but that’s very much unlike her), then I’m glad she’s better now, but people who claim they had full-blown anorexia because they skipped breakfast once really grind my gears. Am not gonna speculate any more on the truth to her claim cos I don’t think that’s fair but I’m sensitive to this issue and she’s a known liar so yeah, kind of ruffled my feathers a tad.

Still catching up but I just want to ask if anyone, anyone at all knows why she holds the bowls like this? She has seriously ugly, gnarly old looking hands, they put me off eating this food and certainly don't enhance it in any way at all - quite the opposite. My hands look better than hers and I am 15 years older, how can she have such battered, sinewy looking hands for someone who is only in their early 30s and sits in front of a computer all day?! You are selling food love, keep your hands out of shot, between them and your mucky nails they are stomach churning.
