What were we (Manc Bee?) saying about blue tick responses?

Twitter obviously wasn’t working so off she went to try Instagram.

The high she will be getting off this will be nauseating.
I always want her to do better and stop making herself a victim. No one is bullying her- tattle doesn’t engage with her directly.

yes these are unvarnished opinions of her, her behaviour, her grifting, her letdown Patreon and her questionable food. No one wishes her ill.

we worry about her son and how he will develop as a teen with a mum with no internet boundaries who plays the poor single mum schtick for engagement even though that time of their life was nearly a decade ago and I’m sure he loves having to relive the trauma pub

she clearly is an addict not just to substances but also social media and being liked for TB e high.

she needs better thereapy because clearly she’s learnt sweet fuck all tbh.

Jack is the sort whose teachers would try and give constructive criticism (I.e- has potential but needs to try harder!) and would have run home accusing them of bullying her.

oh and I haven’t forgiven the irresponsible CSA accusation she chaosed against a teacher.

grow up Jack. No one forces you to read here Or even be in the public at at all. You could find a private job and stop plastering yourself everywhere you possibly can.

ETA- typos due to being crap at using iPhone keypad!

  1. There is a lovely new big book full of big photos about women in the food industry which got a shout out from big J in the Observer yesterday. Jack is not in it.
I'm not sure who Jack's talking about, but I'm fairly sure the OP did not mean Jamie Oliver. I *think* it's James Martin.

All I can think is that everyone who cares about her and has put effort into saving her is doing a big This isn’t recovery. This is same ole shit another Sunday.

Can imagine that those long suffering and exhausted family and friends never really imagined that they were saving her, merely playing along with the latest fabrication. To say, for all of the hot air, wellness bollocks in the world, it's hard to miss when someone is still as ever, so unfailingly self-absorbed.

I hereby claim my beans!!! I’d also like to note that my incoming grenade predictions have a 100% success rate - don’t toy with me, ninnies!

Is she now present for her THRIVING son every min of the day, or is she sleeping 15 hours a day? This is what I cannot stand about her, everything is a contradiction, nothing makes sense, lie after lie.

Why is she eating biscuits in bed?

Why is she being a twat.

I was having a think with my morning coffee about things i have said on here,

when the kitten was around i remember saying it has a neurological disorder and would probably needs pts... A few days later after 3 vets or whatever she confirmed all of the above. So not lies.
People on here speculated her drink issues and or subsequent treatment on here the last lot or months. Tonight she confirmed this....so not lies.

How are any of us lying when she posts things plain too see, it baffles me. Also i hate being called a liar when i was trying to help.

The only liar i see on any sm platform is her.. she has made up alot of tall tales.

All beans to you!

I’m struggling to think of a job where Jack would actually be ok, and just fine at doing. Not even asking for excellence.

Me too. I'd feel awful if she's wangled her way in to some sort of support service for people. Places quite often look for peer support workers, and can you just imagine the damage she'd do to someone? It can't be anything with a set sort of schedule anyway if she's able to just pop off to conferences and do her media appearances at the drop of a hat.

Bit more about that book - I had been wondering if Jack might find this a trigger, as it sort of highlights just how much things have moved on since the early Bootstrap days. I think there may be some awareness of this (hence being "at Conference" as a "journalist") and it will be a great relief if Jack is giving up the pretence of having an sort of real interest in or knowledge of food. But it's still probably going to be hard seeing this celebration of the achievements of others, from quite a diverse range of backgrounds, many with children (and at least one acknowledging the importance of That Man as a mentor) confirming just how irrelevant Jack is. This is Jay's plug, it's also been all over instagram (it is a very IG book)
Also just published is The Female Chef, with words by Clare Finney and Photographs by Liz Seabrook. It features interviews with, recipes by and images of some of the leading women in the British food scene. They include Nokx Majozi of the Holborn Dining Rooms, vegetarian food writer Anna Jones and Andi Oliver of both Wadadli Kitchen and the BBC’s Great British Menu. Copies can be ordered via the Hoxton Mini Press.

Yesterday’s Jack reminded me why I came off her threads for a while. The constant cycle of self pity and blaming others for her issues really is never ending. So exhausting.

Despite all the therapy she’s had/having she doesn’t ever seem to grow or change or, most importantly take ownership and responsibility for her actions.

Still playing the perpetual victim. Where’s the accountability? Can’t make proper progress without it.

The actions never match the words, but the only way we know about the actions is because of the words. It's an almighty headfuck especially when other people aren't tuned into it, and don't see it.

It's always been a calling card of the narcs I've known, they can contradict themselves three times in the space of a single sentence, staying confident they're crystal clear and have the upper hand, but leave you wondering what the hell you just witnessed, and when you think back and digest it all, you end up furious. Again.

Yeah same. The thing is, we all know deep down she's never going the change (that's the thing with narcissism, it just gets worse and more toxic with age), but I think her just shutting the fuck up for an extended period of time gave us false hope. It's very depressing. What's even more depressing is the amount of people who lap it up.

The silence really was golden.

I have to deal with a few narcs in my daily life and you are so right, they DO get worse the older they get. Christ.
