First-time poster, regular reader since I stumbled across Awfully Molly's expose. Thanks to all the fraus und herren for chronicling the rapid fire action on Twitter.
I think I started to follow Jack on Twitter a couple of months ago, but something was....off. I was interested in low-cost recipes, but there was very little of that among the me-me-me and the chaos outbursts. Although there have been lots of lies over the past few weeks, the one that sticks with me - and it's very minor compared to some of the whoppers - is the high-end shoes for the Edinburgh book festival.
"A stylist left them behind after a photoshoot at my house"? That is utterly ridiculous. Having worked with people who do those kinds of photoshoots - stylists
never leave items behind, especially if they want to work with that brand/label again. Celebs on the level of Lady Gaga can "decide" to keep an item they like from a shoot, but the designer writes off the cost of that item, in the hope that the celeb will wear it again and draw more attention to their work. Jack is nowhere near that level of celebrity, despite what she might think.
Now I can see Jack not wanting to get criticized because the poors shouldn't have nice things (taking food out of their child's mouth, etc etc etc), but there are so many other ways that could have been spun. Like "I bought them at a charity shop" or "yes they are expensive shoes but this is how the media expects personalities to dress even if they don't have a lot of money, and this is how marginalized voices get excluded". Instead she chooses the most absurd and easily disprovable excuse. And that's just one example.
As for the current "people are threatening me" chaos:
Just waiting for the inevitable plea for
to fund the legal action against these malcontents...
