Not gonna lie, I'm enjoying the vibe of Jack's grift getting mentioned in the DM, but it will never be as entertaining on here as when she did her godawful Hellman / Mel Donte lives, Daily Kitchen live, or when she was posting about how you can save money by using drier lint for dumb things.

And who amongst her patrons is going to begrudge their cash going to help her get well etc etc…good way to keep the grift alive
re selling the tv her parents bought her:
She also has a principal of not selling gifts. That was the excuse she pulled out of her a when challenged about no lightbulbs v emin in the toilet or some similar ridiculous business. SO INDEED WHICH IS IT JACK EH?
I don’t understand how her profiteering helps “fight poverty”
I donate to Zarach, a charity whichprovides bed packs for poor school children andworks with other agencies for food bank and school uniform support. They actually help fight poverty without lining their own pockets and developing what (could have been) a lucrative TV career. Jack is nothing more than a talking head, a gobshite character whose rolled out for sound bites

Sometimes I feel sorry for her. And then I remind myself of all the times she’s happily taken money off people living on the bones of their arses.
If there is a montage of people lurking Jack’s threads on Tattle while they should be working in the Netflix doc I’d like to be played by Katya from Drag Race please. Or Courtney Love.
I don’t feel sorry for her at all any more. That ship has sailed. Narcs don’t deserve sympathy or empathy - when they get it, it just emboldens them 
Don’t worry about the “drinking” either as it was never a problem. The snow is the problem, but she was never actually sober of that.

Babe, same.
She flung her parents and her child under a bus, she uses controversial points as a shield to close down discussions she doesn’t like. She was utterly horrible to Karl and others, she’d take money off the devil and she’s a dangerous liar.
not even sorry, I don’t feel a single bit bad for her. If she decides to stop the clock at 500 days and blame it on others, it proves the point that she never takes responsibility for anything. I don’t believe she’s sober, because I actually don’t believe she had an alcohol problem in the first place.
The only times I've ever felt sorry for her are when she's inactive on social media. But then, without fail, she starts posting again in her horrible narcy way and all pity dissolves. I think it's just that we forget what a bleep she is when she's quiet, but she'll remind us again soon enough
Yes, the AA-talk and meetings are all just a prop for her. There is nothing she wouldn't take and use for her own benefit (people's trauma, their stories, anything that moves normal people to feel sympathy or empathy for another). One of the few things that are genuine about her is her love for Counting Crows and even then she'll lie about getting concert tickets gifted and what not.I don’t feel sorry for her at all any more.

As much as she’s used the ‘haunted bird hell scape’ or whatever she calls Twitter as a means to fund the grift, do you think jacks quietly pleased it might be shutting down? Nowt like timing!!
Remember - 2020 maybe? Jack was due do a live show and we were gonna get dressed up but Jack style, it was postponed. But a Frau turned up with a full on Carmen Miranda fruit hat ready for the non existent start.
It annoys me how she's held up as some sort of saint for the amount of money she's raised for TT as well. Because what, exactly, did she do? Set up a go fund me that takes seconds, and an ill thought out, rushed teemill account. Any money she raised is down to her large social media audience, there's zero work or effort required from Jack. She's not organised any events, hasn't made items to sell, hasn't given her time and services in exchange for charity donations, hasn't run a marathon or something - nothing. All she's done is send out a few tweets, which let's face it, is all she ever bloody does
. It's just irritating how she takes credit for 'raising thousands' when actually she's done duck all.
That’s hilarious. It unlocked a memory of an old colleague of mine, who’s children had a dressing up day at school and she sent her young twins as Pocahontas and (I think) King Arthur but when they got there it was dressing down day and all the other wee kiddies were in track suits.
I wonder when someone who knows her irl will spill the beans (rinsed of course, if you want to be fancy).
I used to converse with her on facebook back when she was living with the policewoman with ferrets but she stopped answering me overnight (I was really only interested in the ferrets) but back then I couldn't understand how she managed to be on really good terms with SB's dad and yet neither he or her parents had noticed they were living in abject poverty. I tried to shrug it off as her being very good at hiding things. Now I know it was all lies.
It's an insult to the thousands of families who HAVE had to live like that because of the benefits system.
Her endless ailments always bothered me too. I used to work with a woman who used to have a new diagnosis every week. She earned the nickname Spare Rib after tripping at work and claiming she'd broken several ribs in the fall. She claimed she'd been conned out of thousands after she'd lost her cheque book in which she'd already signed all the cheques to save time
(this was pre-card days).

She's well overdue a mass delete, isn't she?
If Twitter dies, does Jack just rebrand as a poor single mum who can’t afford the leccy and start the grift again over on Mastadoon or tumblr?
i was just thinking the same! i’m happy she’s been exposed but i do miss when these threads were almost like a very big secret club. the hilarity truly made the first lockdown so much easier
