The delicious thing about all this is that she's brought it all entirely on herself. So many chances to row back, be accountable, apologise and do better an she could've had an amazing career despite the narc behaviour- the media is riddled with them, that wouldn't have stopped her getting ahead. She could have been a contender, she could've been somebody, instead of a bum which is what she is, let's face it.

Re the screen shot of the coffee & cake invite, I might be out of my lane here as a non parent but describing herself as a 'new mummy' with a 20 month old is odd is it not? I know from observation that early parenthood can be baffling but if I'd been at something for nearly 2 years I wouldn't consider myself a newbie. I have no actual point to make here other than 'eh?'
ps not really looked at a photo of her kid before as generally his image is not posted on tattle, but saw that photo on the mail article, he is bloody lovely isn't he? Whilst she looks like a vengeful goblin sat there dead-eyed next to the performance cupboard.
Isn't that around the time her ex had another child who was poorly - perhaps that's when she started having to do more? It's s also around the time she returned to the fire service - maybe she was trying to find people sympathetic to her woes around work/motherhood who would side with her in whatever imagined wrong had been done to her by SBs dad?

This must be why she’s so quiet, hard at work helping to update ‘her story’

I know all the business around dodgy charity monies, grift and terrible recipes is awful. But honestly, her ridiculous lies, grandiose claims and just general stupidity all put together on the world wide web for all to see is the funniest thing ever.

Maybe she’s been quiet because she’s having plastic surgery for disguise.
That or she’s run away because the DM contacted her for comment on the 13th and she’s pooped herself #justiceforiqbal

I'd like to take a moment to remember all Frauen und Herren who may no longer float in our friendly canal, but would rejoice with us now - at a critical article finally appearing in a national paper. 🕯
Kudos to those who also called it would probably be the mail. Toot toot, pals!

As I’ve not been able to keep up with the threads and there had been a lack of chaos I’d almost given up on Jack. Then I went on Twitter and saw that mainstream media have picked up on Mollys blog (let’s ignore that it’s the mail, although I think they were always the only ones that would probably pick this up)! We all that know that Molly got most of her information from here as the Fraus always bring receipts 😎

Your own words have been used against you Jack because you can’t help but throw all your balls out there as you are so desperate for validation and attention. Reap what you sow.

Until she shuts her patreon down nothing will change much. She still has a massive income from that. People forget and she depends on it.

What reasoning could they have for disabling comments? Does clawing and howling and screaming “I’m telling my lawyer on you!” Work in this scenario?
It does seem odd, Daily Mail comment section is often enough to put you off humanity for life. All that bigotry and vile stuff is fine, asking a reasonable question about some slop slinging scam artist isn’t 🙄

We've even given her advice on here as to how she could sort stuff out and start making amends, and we know she lurks on here and will have seen it.

I think ppl huffing at Nigella is pointless at best, counterproductive at worst. Nigella is well loved and we've all backed the wrong horse from time to time, it's relatable. It's nothing to do with her. Nigella is A list, she's not gonna put out a statement about a z-list little slop barnacle who's no threat to her foodie throne.

No, it’s probably not even on Nigella’s radar. But as a lot of people have said, what the Jack story needs to really gain traction is an angle. And Nigella recommending her followers give money to a scammer is a pretty good place for a journalist to start. I don’t think it’ll harm Nigella’s reputation in the long term, as we all get conned, and a decent PR team could easily spin it as ‘poor Nigella got conned, trying to do good with her new Ocado recipes blah de blah’.

Festive Tip:

Tell your OH that for Christmas you’re growing them some tomatoes. I just did and now whatever I end up buying will be a wInner.

You’re welcome. Please send money.

Tbh the issue is actually wider than just these individuals. Back scratching by celebs and influencers for money or as a favour is a really horrible thing. Plenty of people get conned-few people in the public eye have integrity (like George monbiot as I tweeted last night). Nobody should be recommending things without proper due diligence. I bought veganish due to Nigella’s recommendation so am still bitter! The point stands though, where’s the integrity gone?

Its all getting very messy. There is going to be alot of mopping up required to sort this out. Lots of people are angry and asking questions and lots of people will be in the firing line.

Perhaps if she hadnt let fame and £££ get in her head this mess wouldnt have happened.
