Jack Monroe is a wealthy middle class girl from a wealthy middle class background, who has made a lucrative career since 2012/2013 by pretending to be poor.
This includes plenty of TV, radio and newspaper work as a poverty spokesperson, TV presenting, 7 cookbooks, brand deals with major companies. Most angering of all it includes 730 Patreon subscribers for which she provides fuck all. She did a £68,000 Kickstarter scam to self publish a book then got it published anyway, a £44,000 gofundme scam to raise money to buy her own books to “donate” to foodbanks, and won £24,000 from suing Katie Hopkins. Despite this, nearly a decade after become famous-ish, she still pretends to be utterly destitute and is always begging, pleading, playing the victim and subtle shaking her begging bowl. From this intensive victim signalling, she (probably
) grifts a small fortune from PayPal tips and the tip jars on her website and her Twitter. Some of the people who donate to her are on benefits or otherwise vulnerable.
She pretends to be a heroic charity campaigner, harassed by right-wingers only for her campaigning and her protected characteristics - and claims to donate all her fees to charity. There is no evidence for this but her cult followers believe it. Sometimes, she claims to be raising money for charity, but then never provides evidence that she’s handed over the money, and pockets it herself.
Her victim-playing includes endless claims of illnesses, poor mental health, and being attacked by various types of -phobe for her left wing beliefs, her lesbianism, being non-binary, made up illnesses such as autism and arthritis, and most of all being “working class”. This makes her mindless cult followers viciously protective of her and completely closed-off to hearing about her horrific scamming and compulsive lying.
While pretending to be poor, she rents a spacious £2000/month house in an upmarket area, which she has filled with a multitude of needless designer goods such as a £3000 fridge, £2000 Tiffany earrings and lots of Cotswold Company furniture. She has designer clothes and an Emin artwork, and pretends they were gifted, or most famously of all, she found her Burberry scarf in a muddy puddle.
Lawrence Fox, Martin Daubney, and MP Lee Anderson have called her out for making money off the poor while being rich.
Nothing triggers Jack Monroe more than people observing that she’s rich, so she’s making ridiculous, gleeful threats to sue them, including putting a PayPal link up and encouraging her cultists to donate to her legal costs, before it’s even underway. This was soon deleted but her Jackolytes keep donating. To make herself look better should it get to court, she has now replaced that beg with a notice that she doesn’t need a crowd fund yet, but to donate to charity instead. Followers have begun to ask for refunds, which she is predictably ignoring. She is also claiming to be “mentally and financially on my knees”.
I hope that helps get you up to date with her latest shenanigans! BTW I love your avatar, good minds etc.!
PS - I forgot to add an important bit: she hasn’t filed her taxes in 3 years, despite supposedly being a left-wing luvvie.

If this does actually go to court, this will be an absolute disaster for her. Even if the financials are not disclosed (which they may not be due to confidentiality), the defendants will be able to present reams of evidence - from the public domain - showing how she’s made her living over the years. All the TV gigs, sponsorships, Patreon etc. They can draw attention to the PayPal and tip jar, the Kickstarter, they can explain how influencers make their money (ads, affiliate links, monetised videos etc) - which would be interesting as I don’t think that’s widely understood by the public. And then they can say to the judge - wasn’t it therefore reasonable for my client to deduce that Jack had been earning a fair wedge?
They can also make the case that Jack has been less than transparent about money (the Kickstarter again, yesterday’s PayPal link, the fundraiser to give books to food banks, the Teemill thing, the many times vulnerable people have given her money). All of this is documented - most of it here.
And they can also make the point that Jack has been a little lax with the truth here and there. Her rather fancy home, for example. The fact that she originally said she was middle class - the many other inconsistencies in her story.
This is all stuff that they can and will put before the court in order to argue their case. Whatever the outcome of the case (if it happens), Jack’s reputation will not survive this.
I actually doubt that she’s had a response from her lawyer yet. Who knows if he will even take it on. If he does, IMO it’s highly doubtful he will do it on a no-win no-fee basis because then he or his firm bears the cost of the fees if they lose. And they may well lose. This is a million miles away from the Hopkins case.
Personally, I don’t care that it is the slightly unsavoury Lozza & friends who are the “defendants” here. Let’s face it, no one else would take her on, whatever their doubts. And I do rather like the fact that Lozza is completely unfazed by her bullying. She won’t like that - bullying usually works for her. You can sense her fury and incomprehension that he’s not backed down. I do believe he would have no qualms at all in letting this go to court. In fact I think he is relishing the prospect.
p.s. a little aside about her wrongly identifying Richard Burgon. A case of mistaken identity. Libel, some might say. Like in the Hopkins case. Jack is such a raging hypocrite.
