People who don't know much about her think she was very poor so she knows what's she's talking about. When I say she wasn't they are very surprised/ don't believe me. I think it has to include some on record stuff of people who know her, saying how they remembered her so called poverty time
If it wasn’t for Tattle I’d probably still think she was the real deal. I suppose this is my origin story, I came to Tattle when I became throughly disenchanted with mumsnet and was looking for another discussion site to peruse over a cup of tea. Initially I stuck to the secret celebrity thread, I use to work in west end theatres so I had quite a bit of tea of my own, and I’m quite old and not much of a social media user so most of the other threads were very much who he/she. I was intrigued by the really busy threads on Hinch and Jack, I didn’t know much about either, the former I knew was a cleaning influencer who was probably responsible for the popularity of Zoflora and grey crushed velvet sofas, and the latter was a food writer who had been very poor and for some reason wasn’t allowed to be critiqued on mumsnet. I didn’t find Hinch very easy to follow or very interesting, but Jack was another matter.
I think one of the reasons I almost immediately found Jack interesting was because in a funny way I can relate to her. I have a similar ish class background, and in my much younger days I was desperate to be thought of as anything other than what I was, a very ordinary, slightly awkward, sheltered, lower middle class young woman. Unlike Jack however I’m not a
cunt and my efforts to be cool and interesting didn’t involve lying, inventing and or weaponising trauma. They mostly involved terrible clothing choices, pretending I understood things I had no clue about and completely failing to pull off manic pixie dream girl years before the term had even been invented. Yes, I look back and cringe a lot, but am thankful I was able to grow out of being a total twat (although I can still be a bit of a twat on occasion). However, no matter how cringy Jack is (and she is, a 34 year old boasting about having sex) that’s not a crime on its own, but the Tattle threads held the truth, Jack was never really poor, not in the way she portrayed it, and so my eyes were opened.
