Jack Monroe #407 I lost hours yesterday learning about a Jack Monroe

[Nottonightbabe]

I couldn't go back off to sleep, so popped on here and lo we have some early hours drama! Ooh dear Jack! Guessing the usual creep back to twitter isn't going to happen for a while longer..?

 

[ForgettyBetty]

Tenner says Jack gets a SEVERE sting from one. Send cashos etc

Defra have got the National Bee Unit onto it. Which actually exists (to help pre-emptively protect hardworking smol bees from abuse, harassment, doxxing and death threats.)

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

Imagine if Netflix or some documentary maker does do it? I know she’s small potatoes (Small, Dire Potatoes as a title?) but as a con job type story it’s a banger. People love that stuff.
I hope wonky b gets a cameo. Can’t help thinking of that woman who continued to insist Savile was a good guy even after he was exposed.

I just hope she can't capitalise on it.

Oh what a wonderful morning, oh what a wonderful day
Oh what a wonderful feeling, everything's not going her way.

If Blocked & Reported don’t see a sudden spike in subscribers since they posted the podcast, I will eat any slop of the canals choosing.

This is it, Fraus. Snowballs’ a rollin’ down that hill. Chapeau all for your hard work!

Now how do I cancel my subscription to the podcast so I don’t end up paying for it two years down the line?!

 

[StatusWoe]

Still listening to BARPOD. Nothing that would be new to us so far but it's a full potted history. She's fucked.

It's everything from Hunger Hurts 1, through to the Hopkins trial, Kickstarter, the health issues, Teemill, Patreon, all the collabs, Hunger Hurts 2.

Just mentioned Molly!

Jesse: "This is like a mega grift."

They asked to speak to Jack! She did not respond!

Now running through the 100 hour work week, contradictory tweets. Celebrity squad! FOI request to police. Katie Herzog has contacted Essex Police and awaiting a response. Now talking about Joshua Bonehill and clarifying he wasn't jailed for harassing her.

TATTLE HAS BEEN MENTIONED! THEY MENTION OUR BEAUTIFUL RECEIPTS!

THREAD 31!

Vimes Boots Index- ONS "Jack had nothing to do with this"

Tweeting terrible advice re fuel bills.

Threats to sue, transphobia right wingers. All debunked.

Katie Roche blogpost now being mentioned.

Homeless claims "living rough"/ never been homeless.

DIVA magazine debacle.

Claims of poverty but probably in top 10% of booksellers. "she's either lying or really bleeping bad with money"

Lesbian who currently dates men.

Claims to be able feed family on £20 "irresponsible and galling".

They've been talking to a frau.




Here's the links included in the email

UPDATE: During this episode’s production, Monroe deleted her Twitter and few of her Tweets have been archived. Our apologies.

A Recipe For Jack Monroe

You will need:

• 25 oz. of alcoholism
• COVID-19 (severe)
• A whole autism (self-diagnosed)
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (if available)
• 3 (or more) concussions
• 1 grandparent who immigrated (from Wales)
• Note: Add 5 tabs of testosterone for a Jacked Monroe instead.

This story, if cooked up convincingly, should get you hired by the BBC, Netflix, Hellmann’s, and Del Monte, shortly before making you an influential economist.

Just try not to look too closely at what’s inside.

Jack Monroe: An Investigation

That's amazing. I'm not familiar with the world of podcasts. Does this one get many listeners?

P.S. Just a reminder that Jack has been spending thousands on designer clothes and sideboards. Meanwhile, her poverty is so SEVERE that she needs to melt all of her lightbulbs down into one big lightbulb, freeze her soap into smaller soapcubes and train the brambly mice to collect rainwater in big leaves just so she can wash her hands. Makes you think.

 

[MaineCoonMama]

Preemptive thanks to anyone transcribing and reporting on the podcast. I've been holding out for a Swindled episode on Mx Jack but this one will do!
I think it's around 3 am in the UK so odds are she's in bed and will wake up to a shitstorm.
Yesssssssss.

 

[StatusWoe]

Oh & Vlad is being interesting again. Is that little van thingy one of the 'spacious homes'? It's nice of the homes stay all day, but where do we go when the homes leave the following day?

 

[waffle maker]

@That Forensic Man there’s a lot of Sophie contain portmerion crockery all over her insta. I have to go to work but I am very sure a lot has been triangulated. There was a drama when a load was delivered late (?) at one point. https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/home-garden/sophie-conran-for-portmeirion-white-tableware/_/N-lvjl

 

[Candytuft]

Not massively important but if they read here, she's from Essex. Exeter's in Devon.

It's been amended to Essex now

 

[Moneypenny’sfreedom]

i Wonder if she will come out fighting and threatening legals, launch her remaining flying monkeys or stay silent.

Glad Katie is better at research than a British accent though.

She should stay silent as she runs the risk of making things far worse. But this is Jack. She's impulsive, especially when in a rage, and she's also very brazen nowadays and clearly feels untouchable. She may look to new tactics to try and shut down talk about her.

 

[Fruitjack]

Well well. Insomniac driven tattle catch ups sometimes catch the worm. This must be what has been hinted about.

The accent while she was saying "bread and jam please mummy"

the shoes in the TBC

Spoiler: Edinburgh shoes

Oh, and a brand spanking new iPhone too.

These are the shoes she both claimed a stylist had left behind at her house so said she could keep, and also that she accidentally walked off a photoshoot not at her house wearing them so kept them. Identified by @Into_the_tunnel, they’re Russell and Bromley

Her 10 Downing Street leopard monstrosities are similar but with block heels so assume similar price tag and I think she’s got at least one other pair too.

Also Ray Ban sunglasses at over £100 a pop. I am pretty sure more than one pair but can’t find receipts for the others right now.

A caveat that some of the things on this longlist might well have been less expensive at the time she bought them, but not by a huge amount. All these things have always been pricey. Again as others have said, NO JUDGEMENT of what anyone spends their earned money on. Don’t then whinge you can’t afford rent, to buy a house or grift money from other people while posturing as the voice of poverty and a budgeting expert though.

ETA

Spoiler: Loads more crap

These look like a combination of tall IKEA Billys to me. At current time narrow and wider white versions are £75 and £120, same in the ‘wood’ colour £112 and £148. Not to mention the cost of what’s on them. Top right shelf looks to have over £150 of Moleskines sat on it for eg.

Also, more books and bookshelves. Different ones. Rainbow book wanker.

Er, um, don't think she spent a lot on the bra that's under that outfit. Maybe she* is* thrifty in some areas....

 

[Valiofthedolls]

I listened to the free 10 mins and subscribed as a result so I could hear the rest. It is absolutely damning all laid out like this and I’m not even finished listening yet. Completely damning. She has no way of countering this- or suing/threatening to sue them.

ETA the only thing they’ve left out was the grifting for legal fees to sue Daubney etc into her personal PayPal. I hope they revisit her as a topic.

To add, what she really won’t like is that in a number of places they actually laugh at how ridiculous she is and how nonsensical her lies are.

 

[Moneypenny’sfreedom]

I would pay SERIOUS money to be a breakfast guest at the bungalow in a few hours, she opens her DMs/ emails and some fawning acolyte has written a synopsis …. Some of that crockery is getting smashed minimum. Hopefully SB is with his father.

I think if legals aren’t issued ( would be hard to see how they could) other outlets will start. I bet the Patreon bosses will be concerned now surely?

The potatoes were a smokescreen, this is the real reason for the flounce, would love to know when they contacted her.

re the money spent on luxury items, I wonder how much if any is spent on SB ( I feel it won’t be a lot). Does SB’s Dad get maintenance if SB does, as we suspect, spend most of his time there.

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

For a change, Vlad is being subtle with his Twitter follow suggestions.

 

[StatusWoe]

She's def impulsive, but I'm not sure if she feels untouchable. Some of her actions lately (e.g. the deleting sprees, epic potato strop) make me think she's aware of having lied herself into a corner.

 

[DisgruntledGoat]

Oh. My. God. The grift has gone international. This is amazing.

 

[definitelynotvlad]

"Many wigs" ...

To be fair, judging by the state of those wigs they can’t have cost more than a fiver for the job lot.
