Jack Monroe #400 The utter narcissism of this obscure cook

[Mr Krabs]

The owner (or editor?) of Diva is thick as mince, and, if I remember rightly, there was a scandal around her involvement in a womens history museum that ended up being a Jack The Ripper experience?

Yeah, the museum history section of the wiki page has some details:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper_Museum

The museum was founded by an ex diversity officer of Google. Interesting.

Even the brambly mice have decided to split off and get their own Facebook.

Can I just say that the brambly mice are among my absolute favourite characters in the Monroeverse. Catching up from the past but has she retweeted the dead cat again?!

Yikes

Brave women leading the charge which was definitely started by TD all those years ago. Also Kirsty S and Laura Waddell.
Not generalising as at least one of her serious 2020 T rolls was a women but the majority of any nasty twisted stuff aimed at Jack is usually courtesy of a bloke.

TD does deserve a lot of credit and I'm really glad she feels bold enough to speak out openly now - as I remember, her comments were more subtweety until recently.

DIVA today is the perfect example of how toxic Jack Monroe has now become to any brand or individual that gets in bed with her (no pun intended).

Until Jack fully and openly addresses all her shady financial practices regarding her pretend poverty, working-class cosplay, Patreon, Teemill and PayPal this will keep happening to anyone that tries to support or defend her questionable conduct.

Omg Diva have now blocked some of the squigs who have replied to their original tweet!

 

[Justacatindisguise]

This squig is in Scotland. Don't think Jack knows them irl. So she's not just DMing but texting people??

 

[encore]

So happy for DIVA. This is the most engagement their Twitter has seen in forever go well, pals.

I think HH2 was a big turning point. It contained nonsense that didn't require an honorary degree in Jack Monroe Lore to see through. Followed quickly by Molly was like a one-two punch. People were emboldened to take the piss out of rinsed hoops and Jack lost control of the narrative.

Absolutely this. Hundreds of people would never have cottoned on to the grift if she hadn't written HH2. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, Jack.

Legitimate questions = targeted attack

Yup… this one made me laugh though

That’s a you know what

Thought I'd have a quick peek at DIVA's Socialblade.

They've been losing followers since posting about Jack Monroe

It’s such bullshit. As someone who works for a small charity we’d kill for any social media exposure to bring attention to our work (and hopefully funding). It’s what keeps small charities afloat. No charity is like “Nah Jack, please don’t tell anyone what we do, we don’t want people accessing our services or progressing our cause”. If my charity got a shout out from someone with Jack’s folllower count they’d be besides themselves.

Even if the small charities wanted anonymity (pretending for a minute they exist), then why couldn't Jack have broadly described them with the amount donated by her followers?
Eg 'a refuge in Essex got £850. Here is the redacted receipt'.
Her tweet about doing things quietly and privately is just not acceptable when it comes to transparency with public donations. And she promised complete transparency.

bleeping hell, DIVA are hiding all the replies!

The social media intern at Diva is having a completely normal day at the office I see.

[MsGilmore]

Spent most of the day trying to get my new laptop working at work and not a peep out of Jack!
That Diva tweet is tone deaf! Alienating the rest of the community because Jack is a victim who can never be wrong - stupid twats.

If they have a social manager I actually feel so bad for them This support message is probably a request directly from Head Honcho Linda Ripper Riley. Someone on 25k pa in London whose workplace benefits are likely pizza nights on deadline day and free fruit and coffee simply doesn't get paid enough to deal with this tit.

I’ve felt truly terrible and so sorry for her mother from her mum’s posts in reply to her on two occasions (I only know of these two, there are surely more). One was when Jack was on a giant woe is me about her birthmarks and her awful parents, and her mother explained that Jack’s version was simply untrue.

Spoiler: For those who’ve never seen it

The other time was when Jack was being all effusive and gushing about “Mom” on Twitter and her own mother responded because she (as you would) thought Jack was talking about her. Jack was talking about Nigella.

This makes me so sad every time I read it. I can only imagine that she's warned her family not to engage with via social media because she is portraying 'a character' for 'work'. Much like Lorraine Kelly. But, of course, Jack could never say as much as that would prove it all to be a lie made up to further her path to fame. She really has dug herself a deep and lonely hole.

It wouldn’t be surprising in the slightest if her grift is being performed in ways that even we couldn’t imagine…
