I've left my maudlin state by reading all the other fraus take on the article. I really don't know why I felt so bad for her last night, when as other's have said, it's littered with lies, shills, blaming and narc traits. I just kinda only just saw the suffering part of the story, which I still bad for her, but, yeah, it's another spin on JM's pity party.

❤ Love to all the mithering ninnies ❤

Tried to add some Jack content to the media section but got confused so I've given up. I wanted to put Jack's (one sided) spat with Jamie in one album and her various medical claims in another. Maybe a smarter frau could give it a go?

The cancer fishing was bleeping awful, and peak Jack being a bleep, along with the ouchy mouth cookbook,.

Cancer is not a photo opportunity. bleep.
Anyone else remember when mom and Ryan Riley were all over Jack at that awards ceremony a few years ago? He’s written a cookery book for people with cancer who have proper “ouchy” mouths as well as loss of appetite and taste after cancer treatment. I kinda wonder sometimes what, if anything has happened there if they still talk as there were a few mutually very appreciative tweets at the time but I’ve not noticed them liking each other’s stuff or commenting for ages. And he’s had a really tough time mentally lately I think 🤔 Anyway just a musing sorry.

Mother Hen behaviour in a rehab and detox setting should not be encouraged, or at least it wouldn't be in a reputable organisation. Baking for others, too, especially when there's issues of control, disordered eating, and addiction. Because with Jack it wouldn't be baking once or twice, it'd be bombardment. It's narcy and manipulative; she knows it's hard to confront someone when they're always doing things for you.
How can you be sure they haven’t baked 'special' hash brownies?

I skimmed the article before work this morning (seemed like much of the same bullshite) and haven’t grunked properly yet but just wanted to send love to anyone who has felt bad after reading it ❤

I'm on a grunk and there are many, many things to unpack from that article that I'm sure have already been said much more succinctly and sensitively than I could, but...she wore her hat *over her eyes* at rehab? So she couldn't see? And despite swearing and shoving people, she was the designated 'mother hen'? Don't know why I'm fixating on those two bizarre, nonsensical details, I'll blame toddler-induced exhaustion. 🥴
The part about someone trying to hug her, and Jack pushing them away shouting “duck OFF” is like a sweary soap opera.

None of Jack’s stories ever seem plausible. They’re always either too flowery to be true, or too cliched to be true. Nothing comes across as un-embellished.

Thought I'd pop in before I jump on my train, and make a little joke about a train chaos, but I see you've got the chaos side of things handled on here today
ETA: the part of the article where these people refer to Jack (JACK) as a mother hen is so blatantly fanfiction.

Personally I wouldn't trust a group with Jack in. She doesn't understand confidentiality. She would make me feel unsafe.
That's a good point, neither would I. We know and have proof that she doesn't respect a person's private information. She's unpredictable and a loose cannon. We also know and have proof that she outed that lady publicly on Twitter as having alcohol issues. And uses 'addict' as a term of insult.

None of that is a good combination, imagine if she got the a with you for some reason 😬

It's the quote about being the mother hen etc that is the striking point for me. She really can't help but always make herself a shining light, the one all flock to, when she's actually quite toxic and needy.

She thinks she's the main character in everyone's story.

I'm looking at their staff. One hell of a motley collection of people. Are there any registered health care professionals among them? Anyone legally accountable? I'm searching for their stats too.

Apologies for what is a lengthy post, and any potential duplication as I have not had a chance to read all of the other recent comments. It is rare to have a specified date to cross reference Jack's recollections so I had a look back at mid-March. I didn't seek or find anything to try and catch her out, and I think her output largely supports her account of this period. Of the many posts not listed below, she mainly appeared melancholy other than the expected spikes of her usual nonsense in the two week timeline. There could of course have been a lot of subsequently deleted stuff that is no longer showing.

One thing that did stand out to me in the Diva article was the total omission of her partner specifically or her broken engagement / relationship generally. Based on being reminded of Bubble Buddy / Housemate very much being around at the start of the therapy journey, I am more minded that Jack and LJC still remain very close now. The real, raw and unfiltered image of the autumnal tree is as likely to have been in a Portuguese Vineyard with Anne Hegarty as it was East London. A nice spot in the Cotswolds could be a much more likely location. I wish anyone well who is going through therapy and recovery, including Jack, but I will never forgive her for the Headscarf Cancer cosplay that finally broke my lurking resolve in the New Year. I'm not sure anyone can go much lower.


16th March - All seems well with a prolific Twitterathon covering the crisp pantheon of Wotsits, Quavers, Monster Munch. Space Raiders etc.

17th March - Jack Monroe's 33rd Birthday - "the most miserable and forgettable of my 33 years on this earth".

18th March - Having great fun with leggings and her Irish ancestry whilst bantering with a Mary Poppins tribute act and an eclectic mix of blue tickers.

19th March - Searched Google for "rehabs near me" An hour after a 7am online chat, goes for an assessment "wearing the same stained and shabby five quid tracksuit I'd been living and sleeping in for over a week" but finds time to send love to the lovely one amidst the drama that same morning.

20th / 21st March - A busy weekend exchanging thoughts on houseplants and Hyacinth Bucket. Bubble Buddy / Housemate was in recent residence.

27th / 28th March - After a relatively quiet week featuring mostly nature and Bombay Bad Boy / Peanut Butter mashups, the "Dead-eyed, very underweight, and a hollow ruin of a human being" (🤔) - retreated to an unknown location the following weekend and was caught by Bubble Buddy, possibly, in a candid shot from her little happy place before migrating to the Aparthotel. As always, found time for Marcus despite her ongoing personal challenges and managed to wear a rare scrap of colour after "wearing that swanky tracksuit, with a black beanie hat" for what seemed like an eternity.

Maybe I'm being silly but I'm not quite sure how legit this place is. The practice manager has an arts background, quite a few of them have worked in South Africa and there are some very posh names and upper class backgrounds. No BAME members of society either. This is a program run by poshos for poshos *just my take*.

Definitely not underweight and hollow eyed. Cosplaying addiction she is in her beany.

Spot on. The fact they're employing her so soon tells us all we need to know about them.

Ryan Riley got caught up in her 'long covid'* cosplay over Christmas. He was writing a book for people who had lost their taste and Jack tried to elbow her way in IIRC. I think that's also when the trifle defender blocked her.

I haven’t read the Diva article. Thanks to all the people who have commented about it.
I’m not going to waste my time reading her latest piece of “get out of jail “ drivel.
If you are in recovery you take responsibility for your actions. Something I don’t think she is capable of doing.
. As lots of people have said - don’t act the way you do (money grabbing, lying, manipulating, blaming everyone else, bullying and lots more) and no negative comments can be made.
All the information discussed here has been provided by her in her successful attempts to make money for nothing.
I'll give you the abridged version.

"Poor me, I have the worst of everything in the word. Everyone thinks I am wonderful."
