Re the sleep meds - she said she's "on short term sleepers". We know how she manipulates with language. She wants people to assume it's heavy hypnotics, but she's probably just bought a pack of Nytol.

3 people who Jack actually follows have now faved it lol.It's going to be really interesting to see who likes and retweets this as it's a fairly specific burn. Already one of the high follower people who Jack interacts with has hearted it
ETA and a blue tick who Jack follows has faved the follow-up tweet.
You are very right about the Guardian @MancBee . About six years ago, when I read online every day, I remember reading below the line on a Jack article she'd done. The poster actually said 'Urgh I wish she'd just sit down. Every cause, every medical complaint, every discussion she's there going meeeeeee.'
It struck such a chord with me, as a little time before that, a world renowned organisation was thinking of teaming up with her (I worked for them so was privy to the discussions) - and it was that Guardian poster confirmed my quiet unease that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Incidently, that poster got absolutely hammered by her flying monkeys...
Thankfully powers-that-be also felt the same way about Jack's actions/lies/stuff not ringing true and the organisation didn't team up with her - and the serious discussion (and rows!) about partnering never got past the boardroom and office door. Thank christ, because she could have done some serious harm in such a truly high position of power (law making). Not to 🔺️ but some former members now have honours and are in the house of Lords. If she reads here, she'll now know. (Your own behaviour Jack, got you a hard pass from incredibly influential people and something that could have been genuinely life changing).
I can't help but feel the process/discussion the organisation had, is like many who do due diligence on her, behind closed doors and those that don't, like Del Monte, suffer the results...
She will never change and I often wonder how many other big chances she has missed. Her reputation has certainly diminished over the years.
Edit to add: sorry for the long post! I just wish I could share more about the organisation but I can't xx...loves you Fraus and ninnies xx

I'm going to say it, as someone who nearly died from their addiction and did hard time in detox and rehab, her posts really hurt. It makes me feel like I made too much 'fuss' and that it should have been easier.
There are so many foodies (proper foodies not tin cack types) liking that post I’m tempted to think that the entire industry thinks our Jack is a total dick...and I fkng love that
Our prize winner has cojones of steel, or kahunas, forin words are words innit.
I can imagine a fantasy tv show where she teams up with Jackie Weaver to investigate and interview grifters

There’s got to be a WhatsApp group.There are so many foodies (proper foodies not tin cack types) liking that post I’m tempted to think that the entire industry thinks our Jack is a total dick...and I fkng love that
Nige actually penned the tweet and sent it to “the real foodies” WhatsApp group saying “who’s gonna do us a solid? ” TD took one for the team
Private prescriptions, she can afford whatever when ever, she even proudly displayed her stash, most of which was not in its original packaging
I hope Caitlin Moran isn’t seeing this and whatsapping TD telling her she could be investigating big pharma instead of pissing about with addiction quacks
Her search volume was so low last year Google trends aren’t even surfacing related search data for “Jack Monroe” as a search term anymore (you can see it’s capped to two items / rising is greyed out).
This is something brands doing their due diligence will be looking at so good luck to her tbh.

However... not posting out the Shadrack and Duxbury Christmas calendars is very Jack.
And that is why I won't give a penny to The Guardian.
I think she uses real illnesses as personalities because she has none. If she was her normal self she would not have an ounce of the attention she receives.Re the sleep meds - she said she's "on short term sleepers". We know how she manipulates with language. She wants people to assume it's heavy hypnotics, but she's probably just bought a pack of Nytol.
People even squiggles tire of her easily as you never seen the same squig, squig more than once and if they do it's normally because they are calling her out.
She reads stuff, takes part in a few groups and automatically assumes she knows everything about everything, but then shows her hand with tone deaf tweets.
Sometimes saying nothing is better pet. Some wisdom for the new year.. much love!
Jack makes light of recovery because she's never really, truly lived it. It's another bit of play acting for her.
Did someone work out the minimum she gets from this ? Amazing people still pay for zero return
I have no first hand experience of AA/NA but during lockdown I have put considerable time and effort into (re) watching Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Station 19, and there is stuff from the Shonda version of sobriety that is more complex and nuanced than Jack's hot takes.
I am sorry she has upset people who have lived this! I also wonder of any of her AA "pals" have seen what she thinks of it all. I bet they are quite upset with her. I would be if someone going through similar trauma to me was basically poo pooing it.
