Has anyone asked her why she didn't have some sort of estate sale to make some money off all this clutter she's apparently just giving away now, before resorting to boiling soap scraps, etc etc? Really makes you think. I mean if I was sitting on a pile of Wonderful Stuff but my bank account was empty I'd probably at least try listing some of it on ebay first...

She certainly had a house sale before. Why not now?
I don’t believe she is giving it away.

She tweeted about her son wanting to go to the cinema to watch Avengers:Endgame and how she would need to wear ear defenders for it. She also wasn't amused when people told her it was three hours long.

No idea if they actually went to see it because it was never mentioned again.
Can’t afford shampoo, trip to the cinema no problem

Yes, isn't it strange she's giving away all these big ticket furniture items to friends instead of selling them when she's apparently so broke?

Makes you think.

I’ve also seen a lot more people talking about her as a grifter on Twitter lately including a few reasonably well known mediay types.
👋I've been reading here for a few months, but there was a change once she posted that essay to ask for more money recently. She cropped up in a group chat a few hours after and most of us in agreement something seems off with her. I think jack really overegged the pudding and I'm not surprised it's backfired. She doesn't know when to stop. Many will still support her as they like what she stands for and will never budge.

Probably 360 threads late with this lol but I found it randomly and it made me laugh remembering past posts. Out of interest, does anyone know when the first mentioning of the landlady not being “lovely” was? Same question for the “crappy bungalow”! I want to know if there’s a crossover

If she had just stuck to her original lie and then went on to be more truthful with her circumstances now, then, there would be no issue.

She can't help but exaggerate and embellish, to go to extremes to get shock and attention. Jack loves facts attention. She took it too far and now it's all spiralling down around her. Her usual tactics to distract aren't even working. Her career has been floundering for quite some time, but this could easily be the nail in the coffin for it.

That Jamie one kills me every time 🤣🤣

Jack is a total pumble wanker for taking credit for the ONS, she really is shameless.

I call this the Embarrassing Drunk Jack Interview. I was pretty surprised the book person interviewer didn't shut it down
I wonder if she had seen Jack like that before and was used to it. She said she was Jack's publicist and they had travelled together for talks so its possible. Didn't Jack say she threw a chair at a publicist once?

I think it was only earlier this year. Open to correction from a more learned frau though. Jack tweeted that she had tried to befriend the landlady but she didn't want to know. 🥺

I think the bungalow has been crappy since 2020, I seem to remember that language being used back then.

Wonder whether the plan is to rent a flat for a year to save up a bit of extra cash for the big buy? Maybe Big Dave has said they’ll bung her £20k if she saves another £20k in the year. Maybe act as guarantor if she proves she can get her life and finances in order.
Either that or *insert Jimmy Nail.gif*

Just popping on to say hello... I've actually been here since all this was just fields and we were still dizzy from thread 31. However, a kind Frau last week, reminded us that we could easily be 🔺 if our names were the same on other social media. I realised that my @somwhere was actually also my Frau name. Even though I mostly lurked but often liked and laughed, I deleted my account and set up this new one. Soznotsoz and I am now incognito :cool:
