My ex worked with Jack on a BBC show in 2013 so I’m also baffled as to when the poverty was meant to be. Does she really count the post Allegra years (ie not living with a millionaire) as ‘poverty’?
Pls can you tell us (in as non- a way as poss) what your ex thought of Jack?! Any goss?

Getting folding chairs out of the garage...wonder how many chairs there were
She did look rough in that Ruby/Vice article, and uncharacteristically chunky, on the side view.
IIRC she said to SEB their was a “slight wrinkle” in her story regarding the food bank use (aka Jimmy Djokovic/Novak Nail “she’s lying”)

Article in this link

25, 80 or 100 foster children? All from (different) Guardian articles. Yay journalism!
"Her parents, who still own a small house in a neighbouring town"

A small house? It is five bedrooms! What size of property do these Guardian reporters think is a large home? And what about the buy to let portfolio? No mention of that.

It is easy to find on streetview, and I can tell you, it is definitely not a small house.

Tattle moderators before banning Jack on Thread 31…

Thread 31 . I’ve said it before and I genuinely mean it when I say that you guys made lockdown so much more bearable for me but credit where it’s due, in her own unique way, Jack did too! It was the sub-conversations going on around her presence “I’m more of a Solero person myself” “they don’t make Cornettos like they used to” (paraphrasing, natch) and “oooh, she’s got really neat handwriting!”

@colouredlines you’re back!! I missed you! Does anyone else do this - if I get a notification that someone has read a post I wrote a while ago, I read it to see what rubbish I’d written. And then, dear hearts, is the time I notice the spelling mistakes and grammar errors. I cry.

If Jack 'rose to fame' in 2012, when where the years of the destitution given that she resigned from her well paid job when her son was 20 months old (November 2011)?
And how come she was so poverty stricken before she got pregnant, she had sex for money? She also worked multiple jobs (bar job which she mentioned leaving when pregnant; cafe job where she met SB’s father…) so none of it makes sense.

According to our wiki, Jack claimed to be a sex worker in 2013.

Yep. @colouredlines would be almost up to date if wasn't for Jack's twitter rampage yesterday

I love those little flashback notifications from @JayRamShamFour, too

But in the “abusive partner” story she was pregnant, and her partner knew about it and taunted her about it…

This would have been around 2010, because SB is now 11, right?

In the 'Sam' interview she said she was SW, in a violent relationship and pregnant. It heavily implied SB was conceived with a customer.
I think the fact that was originally anonymous, it gave her leeway to be even more economical with the truth than usual.

Our wiki is never wrong. Jack might be though.

Also, for anyone still concerned about SB and his Whatsapp group - please don't. It's pure fiction. There isn't an 11-year-old in the land who sends pics of their dinner to their mates.

I'm glad you mentioned 2013. Have you all seen this many times already? (Probably, so delete if old drama)

But for me this is WTF?

Reminds me of when she was a social media expert, a cameraman, sound engineer, script writer, make up artist, etc.,etc

I get up in the morning and am a mother, a nutritionist, a kitchen goddess, a cleaner, an educator, a business woman, an accountant, a machinist, an errand girl, a baker, a PR and marketing woman, a blogger, a newspaper columnist, and a singleton.

If I recall the awful Twitter thread on March said / implied she was skint from blackmail by her stalker. But as who knows what is true
