Jack Monroe #27 Jack's career move after cooking with cans? Who’d have thought it would be OnlyFans?

[TheDragonWithAFlagon]

She briefly mentioned that she was a Food bank user for 6 months, without those tins and packets she wouldn’t be here but that small amount of food was a life line.
Actually presented well and sounded professional, no weird giggling and the tech worked.

Am genuinely interested in how she spends hours on twitter lamenting her lack of sleep but can’t simply retweet Marcus Rashford‘s campaign or letter yesterday.
It’s like she can’t share the good stuff others are doing.

Why exactly are they interviewing (and paying) somebody who isn't running a campaign to actually do something about it? Not watching the ridiculous jinky digital TV setup we have here is too much hassle to try to work out I'm working, so I can't imagine why anybody needs to hear about somebody who was skint a decade ago instead.


The relationship stuff is all sounding somewhat coercive. The putdowns, the calling a girlfriend a wife, the wanting to be indispensable by controlling all the food in the house by being the only person who cooks, the 'paying the deposit alone', the I'm In Pieces Look What She Did To Me, the inappropriate behaviour. Even the throwaway tweet to the 'Welsh Bodyguard who specialises in domestic violence' that he might have been useful a few weeks ago - combined with My Property Abandoned Me For No Reason - well, some of us join different dots.

Yes, and millions of people are in the same situation with childcare and schooling and working and surviving on less money. I know I am! It’s not a unique problem right now.

And many of them in far worse situations... like actually worse situations, not imaginary ones

I do think it’s healthy to throw a mini pity party for yourself sometimes because life can be hard and it’s not good to bottle up your feelings

But at the same time, context is important. I’m feeling crappy today because my toddler had me up at 3am and then again from 5am, bloody knackered

Then on the morning news I saw a piece about single parents of children with complex needs, unable to access the usual carers and services due to lockdown. Providing literally 24/7 care alone, medications around the clock, making medical decisions on no sleep. Basically taking on a role which would not be allowed if they were being paid as it would be considered too dangerous

That doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to feel bad because others have it worse, or that these parents are entitled to all the pity in the world (for what good that’d achieve). It’s just an everyday example of relativity that everyone should acknowledge, Jack included

Her need to be the most hard done by ever in every single situation is ridiculous and disturbing

I think she's just tit with money

I don't think she is. My old boy is under the impression that she in her mind, is much in demand and the offers will come in fast and furious, rather than drying up as they are. Her book isn't selling well, her viewing numbers on her live shows are crap and people are starting to twig all is not what it seems with JM. How the mighty have fallen. And it is all her fault, no one elses. Only my old boys opinion.

I heard her say ‘about six months’ so I believe it would be less time than that, based in all her previous truth dodging. I also think she paid the wedding deposit last year as I remember her going on about what she was going to wear then.

The Amazon review has this picture.

Rinse the chickpeas "to shake off the tinny taste they acquire from bathing in their own ephemera".

Forget paying her rent - can't her fans have a whip round to buy her a dictionary?

Aren’t publishers meant to have editors???

I can't believe she published a 'cheering' book designed to help people during their dark days and didn't even put any pictures in. Its the most depressing recipe book I've ever seen!

 

[MancBee]

She is on This Morning. She looks shattered. She is talking about free school meal vouchers.

Me......scurrying of to turn on TV to watch +1.

 

[Raker]

Small place a bit further along the a127... Stanford le hope is much more affordable. She loves the drama and the poverty brand she has peddled though.

catching up, as ever...

To be fair, I can understand her wanting to stay in her hometown if extended family/SB’s dad etc are all in the same area, and she doesn’t drive, even if it is an expensive area.

It really wouldn't help anyone, would it? Poor, sad little book.

What is she spouting about free school meals?

This post is so similar to conversations I've tried to have with a friend of mine. Think I might have mentioned him on here before at some point, as there are glaring similarities between him and JM. Narcissism being at the centre of it. I am quite good at diplomacy and knowing how to approach a person to get through to them, but I have to say, everytime I've tried with him, from what ever angle, it's resulted in him becoming spiteful towards me or flying off on one. Even suggesting on multiple occasions he may commit suicide (attempting to emotionally manipulate me). He constantly carries the woe is me rhetoric, and even a gentle reminder of all the positives in his life is met with a snarky, passive aggressive response - a la JM.
I can never get through to him and largely give up trying now due to his nasty responses. I suspect that JM's responses would be similar and perhaps that is why we don't see family or friends stepping in. Perhaps they've tried numerous times and it doesn't end well.

Ugh. The suicide threats were a thing with the alcoholic ex. If I didn't like something he'd done, there would be lots about how he might as well be dead or go and buy a load of heroin or slit his wrists. Before I hoyed him out the front door after I caught him in the rehearsal stage of what would have been the most dramatic performance which involved a Stanley blade and a phone call to his Mum telling her I'd said he could move in and he wasn't coming home for a few weeks, when I was gradually trying to disengage, I'd get voicemails (as I wouldn't pick up the phone at 3am) with such snippets as 'I'm at Beachy Head in my car and I just wanted to speak to you one last time but you're obviously with another man right now. Oh well, I guess this is goodbye, then.

I think that the best thing to do with such people is to completely withdraw from them. Don't give them the headspace, don't contact, don't get involved, walk away. They are utterly poisonous.

One of her fans on Facebook sympathising with her having to look after a child on her own and work full time. No one corrected her, least of all JM.

There is also about a minute long clip on the This Morning Twitter page.

I just want to say how brilliantly put and how spot on this is. Also that I think you are simply wonderful x

@Flumps, your post needs to be carried in a golden sedan chair from John O'Groats to Land's End until everyone has heard the word. Perceptive, compassionate, wise - and your personal strength shines through in every word XX

Hah. I don't want to be all Jack about this, but I am, in fact, often a massive bellend. But I have had a lot of good therapy, so I know what I *should* be doing, and like all good parents everywhere, can advise anyone to 'do what I say, not what I do'.

 

[MancBee]

Probably a few months in, didn't want to get married period.

I was being kind, and giving the benefit of doubt. Perhaps L felt railroaded down a path she didn't want to go. Perhaps she would have been ok with things staying as they were.

No, your right..... she didn't want to get married full stop.

Oh I feel for you as I have been through the same and Jack totally gives me these vibes which is maybe one of the many reasons I despise her so much.

When I dared to go to uni and have a life my ex would send me suicide note emails then turn his phone off for an entire weekend. Sometimes he would hack into my facebook and send weird stuff to my new friends in the hope they'd abandon me (they didn't). He tried to fake his own death when I actually broke up with him, then sent me multiple emails from his 'uncle' to say I was being sued for causing his suicide! After about 6 months it just got to the point where I didn't actually care if he lived or died anymore so I'm not sure it really had the desired effect but it really was the most emotionally taxing thing to go through. .

To be fair to her although she looks shattered her couple of minutes are prepared and professional. It is clear there is a tight script and she managed to stick to it!

I wonder if they ever realise this is a script. My ex husband rang me about a week after I left to tell me that he was about to go to the 'top of the nearest tall building and throw himself off'

Spoiler: he didn't.

 

[Toffee finger]

Catching up.
Confused re the DDD/imposter etc.
Glad she’s finally confirmed Louisa has left even if it was in a dramatic attention seeking way. Break ups suck but I can’t summon up too much sympathy for her.
I actually lol’d at her tweet to stop defining her by the KH case, she mentions it all the bloody time!

@Flumps

Back to work now but I should be around to catch the 5pm chaos!

 

[Bellybutton lint]

Imagine being married to JM would do anyones head in. If she rants on Twitter that easily, imagine how she rants at home. I personally think JM is such a control freak that it terrified L.
