My two black godsons (all grown up now, time flies) have separately called me to ask if I'd seen JM's video. I mentioned this place to their mum, so she must have mentioned it to them. I must phone her now to hear an older black womans perspective, she is more forgiving of background racism, she unfortunately turns a blind eye to all sorts. I can't tell you what I've heard whilst in her company.
They couldn't believe how anyone with such a history of social media activism could get it so wrong.
After saying the video was not about her she started with a quick resume of her struggles and ensured everyone knew that she was a victim too. My godsons said that she showed her lack of knowledge of the issues, that she was just repeating what other white people had told her, there was no black persons perspective.
It was obviously well intentioned, as most white saviour activism is. Let black people speak for themselves they don't need you to speak for them. They just need a platform to be heard from.
Apparently many POC have heard of the Twitter stuff between Alexis, Hellman's and Jack, it's how my godsons heard about it. This is now in the VERY public domain. She is going to get some serious backlash.

Me too.
Good. About time people see her for what she is. No sympathy from me.
Well she can't do that anymore. It's been used for 10 years now.
Still catching up, the other half had the audacity to come home from work and distract my attention, cheeky fucker
, I have now banished him to another room... I adore Masterchef Australia, the only one worth watching of the imo, I'm sad that Matt, Gary and George will no longer be the judges, I have a soft spot for all 3 of them, but I'm excited to see how the new judges will make it their own.... Who are the judges on the Champions series is it the previous judges or the new ones? I hope it Airs soon, I'm so excited for 1000 epsidoes lol
She got my take on things
Her fault and her fault only.
I'm also now following Alexis Adjei on Insta. Her food looks amazing! I hope she gets an answer to her questions as well.
Looks like our hot-headed friend has got herself into a dilly of a pickle re:Hellmans, doesn't it?

Maybe they’ll offer the Tuesday evening gig to Alexis and Jack can “cohost“ from her shed ? Would love to see Alexis cook - her food looks amazing !
That’s the thing, most people good on social media would realise quickly , I imagine most of the blue tickers just don’t really pay attention to her they have better things to do then see her tweets for 5min before she deletes them
I cant imagine Chetna will want to take part if she knows about Alexis.
It looks amazing doesn’t it? I’m a veggie
but all her pics are beautifully shot and captioned. LOVE food insta pages
Alexis has a lovely account, I hope she gets some positive attention from this.
Me tooooo! Have lots to work through from today, it's really helping drown out social media bullshitLOVE food insta pages
Or anyone for that matter. After DKL, This Morning and now this? No one will touch her with a 10 foot grater Just my opinion of course.. Far too much of a liability.
Only on special occasions when I have guests coming round, you know those same times when you get your fancy gel Stock pots out and the fancy whatsit machine out
Yeah, it's so beautifully presented, I want to cook EVERYTHING!It looks amazing doesn’t it? I’m a veggie
LOVE food insta pages
The love of food shows .
did she have mentions before? I didn;t notice
I get goosebumps just at the mention of Maggie Beer, she is a National Treasure, or at least she should be, if I ever make it back to Oz, I want to visit the Barossa Valley. I remember one year Neil Perry was on and I kept shouting at the TV excitedly because I ate in his restaurant Rock Pool when I went to Australia and it was fantastic
I was totally fan girling ....and Shannon Bennett omg, I just love him, I just love Masterchef Australia, I love how excited they are for food and the chefs and how much knowledge the contestants have like they have immersed themselves in everything cooking, I do miss the big trips they used to do in the earlier seasons like when they went to America and the Asia those epsidoes were so funIts all blowing up over at Hellmans UK ... and then Matt posts his crop and gets me all prickly hot with thoughts of his forearms feeding me his gorgeous toms whilst in the bath ....
