The only make up she wearing is all over that face, the massive liar. I see more evidence of terrible thirst pics as well. Jack stop showing your tits off, or go and do a career which requires them being on show.
I feel very angry reading this. Two weeks to kick alcohol in 2016, one week in Jan 2019, absolute lies on both occasions about quantities (detox/illness withdrawal quantities just flippantly thrown about as if alcoholism is like eating too much chocolate over winter.I'm a bit ill, not enough to retweet that fact repeatedly, but enough to spend all day on the sofa. Earlier I was digging through some Jack Instagram archives.
There's some stuff that only becomes truly fucked up in hindsight, like the pets that get introduced, photographed 20 times in a month, then are never spoken of again. But I don't want to go into that too much...
I was curious about how long her veganism actually lasted. It started as Veganuary (although she didn't mention that in the infamous Guardian piece). By the 12th of February she was judging a kids' LGBT-themed baking contest (?), with plenty of non-vegan cakes:

Then it gets a bit messy and full of contradictions. Non-vegan food (and face cream!) shows up quite regularly for the rest of 2016, and by the time we get into 2017 we see:

I feel like she lied about being vegan a LOT longer than she actually was vegan...
If I'm still unwell tomorrow I might tally up the number of times she talks about her newfound sobriety. It happens a LOT - note the date here, October 2016:

There's also so many lies about her EDomg. Ok first of all, get well soon @colouredlines . You are a queen of finding old gems. Jack says SO much triggering stuff in those posts, I’ll put my rants in a spoiler because it’s to do with addiction and EDs.
First of all. She literally said she was “from alcoholic to don’t-bleeping-need-it in two weeks”. Thankfully I’ve not had addiction problems, but I know enough from listening to friends and people here patiently explaining, that is not how it works. I now truly think she doesn’t care about raising awareness or removing the stigma around alcoholism, it’s all just self-serving. I don’t have the words to articulate how insensitive and ignorant she is.
Secondly. This isn’t as much of a big deal, but I hate that she talks about having a “lardy arse”. I get that it’s just meant as a self-deprecating joke.
But remember, Jack has claimed to have had an eating disorder in the past. If that was true, you’d hope she would be so much more sensitive with her words.
I am probably taking this way too personally, and so it’s more of a “me problem” than a “Jack problem“, but I had an ED for more than 20 years. There are times when (thankfully) I am physically recovered, but not mentally recovered, and seeing her talk about her body in that way would make my non-recovered mind think “if she thinks she’s got a ‘lardy arse’, what the hell must she think of mine?”. It’s so triggering, but I know it’s a ”me problem”, so I just try to deal with it, because you can’t avoid these things in life.
My point is, because I’ve been through so much crap with body-image issues, I try to be so careful with the way I talk about these things, because you never know how it could affect someone. I notice that people who have had similar experiences are the same (although of course this depends on how the illness is affecting them and how recovered they are).
Sorry this is so long! If anyone has read this far, and needs to correct me on anything then I’ll honestly appreciate it.
It just added to your confusion so perfectly though.
Just funny that it's not long after this, too - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/19/jack-monroe-little-bit-male-little-bit-femaleJack stop showing your tits off, or go and do a career which requires them being on show.

I’m with you on this one - if she kicked alcohol that quickly then the problem was nowhere near as dire as she made it out to be. Either that, or she hasn’t kicked it or it never existed. She just has to have a problem. Its like a form of Munchausen Syndrome.I feel very angry reading this.

This is how I came to despise Mx Monroe. I don't have words to describe how much it hurts seeing her lie about recovery

I’m sure it’s been said before but she’s a lost cause and has been for so long cookery wise . Her stuff is complicated and boring and let’s not forget unnappetising . Hours go by in the blink of an eye as I scroll through cooking TikTok, the stuff on there is class. Jack could never.Brilliant work - have often just assumed that the vegan thing was total bollocks, just by way of the fact that she adopted the character long before any of the real sacrifices were made. Wouldn’t be surprised if the same is true for her latest non-drinking crusade..
One thing that just jumps from the digital page too, is just how Mind numbingly boring she is, and has been for so many years. It’s just one long broken record.,
It IS facetious disorder.I’m with you on this one - if she kicked alcohol that quickly then the problem was nowhere near as dire as she made it out to be. Either that, or she hasn’t kicked it or it never existed. She just has to have a problem. Its like a form of Munchausen Syndrome.
Haha I hope Miggle wins something.That was quite a grunk! I’m glad we are getting content for the 2022 sloppies already!
I remember a Guardian article, where the “point” which made her rethink drinking was - she made a smoothie and was taking SB out and he asked why the other kids don’t put their smoothies in an Absolut Vodka bottle or some such nonsenseDon’t really know where to start with the sobriety timeline and this is probably at the very trivial end of the spectrum, but if you were serious about recovery would you really use a bunch of empties (of a potent spirit) as ornaments?
If she put the same energy into fiction writing she’d be a billionaire.I remember a Guardian article, where the “point” which made her rethink drinking was - she made a smoothie and was taking SB out and he asked why the other kids don’t put their smoothies in an Absolut Vodka bottle or some such nonsense
It *is* fiction writingIf she put the same energy into fiction writing she’d be a billionaire.
I've just re-read this, is Jack honestly saying that she was drunk and a full time carer for a four-year old child?Lol @ the idea of cracking addiction in two weeks. Idk how she’s not embarrassed to speak with such authority on everything, she really doesn’t know much about anything so often misses the mark. Mortifying.
Have previously tried piecing together the timeline to create a Gantt chart for us, found it impossible tbh, below was just from the various guardian pieces she’s done:

There’s probably more of a correlation between her cash flow issues & these ebbs and flows of drinking problems than anything to do with MH. The guardian was her very first pay pig
