God I cannot stand how she personally inserts herself into everything - of course Jack is the most upset by Grenfell because of all her experience etc etc etc. It must be unbearable to be in a room with her for more than 10 minutes.
I’m reminded of years ago when Sarkozy was president of France and claimed to have been at the fall of the Berlin Wall. That was one (potential) lie and attempt to centre himself and he got destroyed online - journalists investigating the authenticity of the photograph and the birth of a meme in which people would photoshop Sarkozy’s face into all sorts of historical scenes
Obviously Sarkozy was a much more prominent figure than Jack but I wonder if she’s aware that her success could also lead to her downfall. If she keeps acting like this, more attention will lead to more sceptics picking apart her lies and calling out her narcissism. Internet call-out/cancel culture is rife and it would only be a matter of time. Even if she managed to rein it in from now on (unlikely, she can’t help herself), with cases of people being called out for things that happened over a decade ago does she have a chance?
I think on some level she’s aware of this danger and it might help to explain her (perhaps subconscious) self-sabotage. Growing in popularity would expose her to critics, weaken her echo chamber, and mean that she would have further to fall
(Not necessarily saying I agree with cancel culture as it’s often toxic but just observing and speculating re: Jack)
