Aside from the steaming pile of crap that is Thrifty Kitchen, when does she ever do recipes these days? She hasn't done for a very long time. Nothing gets put on her site anymore, unless it's a tin rattle or some snarky retort to someone she's fallen out with, nothing gets uploaded to social media. She doesn't write recipes anymore. They won't be missed by anyone, but saying she'll 'keep doing' them as if she currently is, is just the emperor talking about his beautiful clothes. 🤷‍♀️
Jack is secretly silently gently working behind the scenes by painstakingly handwriting recipes then delivering them to foodbanks. By hand.

And this baffling lie lapse of memory.
According to her Greenbelt talk the day after an attempt at s*ic*de she went to a food bank for the first time in July 2012.
Compare to this account in the Daily Mirror.
It's like she doesn't believe the story is dramatic enough by itself so has to ratchet it up with quite horrible detail to shock. It's not just a slightly different account - it is completely different. So which is the truth Jack who-can't-lie?

ACTUALLY I’ve got a third lie-filled and completely different take on the whole thing for you…
I think you’ll find that at the time she wrote Hunger Hurts on July 30, 2012, she could go a WEEK without speaking a word to another human being out loud.

Despite having a young toddler AND working in a full time volunteer job as a PA between March 2012 and this piece she wrote on August 5th 2012.

I think you’ll also be rather surprised that after writing this “preemptive obituary” (as she describes it in the tweet above), and publishing it on 30th July 2012 and then taking “dozens of pils” …

She didn’t go to the food bank the next day because she didn’t wake up til the evening.

BUT! when our intrepid heroine woke up in the bath the next evening after her failed suicide attempt, despite feeling “freezing cold, alone and extremely sick”, her first selfless act upon allegedly “waking on the evening of 31st July” was to post an ad for a cooking teacher for Southend Mind and encourage people to volunteer.

Also, In the 24 hours between posting Hunger Hurts attempting suicide and waking up in the bath next evening to immediately advertise for a volunteer cookery teacher, Jack apparently got an outpouring of “messages from strangers telling her their stories” in response to Hunger Hurts.

I’m not sure where though, because as you can see, there are a mere eight replies to that post, NONE of them between the 30th and 31st July and NONE of them “telling her their own story in return”.

It truly is almost as if she is LYING ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

Oh, and just to be really pedantic, I’m going to call her out on this complete bleeping lie too
5B8026A8-1D90-4DD5-8251-4DDB6F149260.jpeg

Because just over two months before Hunger Hurts, she couldn’t resist showing off about how many people read her blog AND that “people come up to her in the street”.

VILE LYING bleep
As a reminder, she’s confirmed her son reads her Twitter (this is where she was claiming she’d worked in a brothel).
462E6F78-ACAB-4F08-9780-A8B30AFEBDC9.jpeg

She also says again in a lengthy and detailed blog post in May 2022 embellishing on the tweets above AND in tweets since then that she attempted suicide immediately after Hunger Hurts. She’s a bleeping liar, and she’s bleeping deplorable.

The real reason for the temper tantrum was she fucked off for a week and no one apart from a few off sweaty horny middleaged men mentioned and the world carried on with people much better than her sorting some very real tit out. If i was Lee i would send her 30p and tell her to piss off!

This is a chaos for the purists. Grunking so apologies if redundant, but what exactly is the libel that she thinks is being repeated here?

The Greenbelt version of events is so extreme and removed from her normal narrative I wonder if she assumed it wouldn't be recorded and preserved? She could just say any old rubbish unchallenged?
In an interview with Emma Freud years ago she simply said 'After 6 months I was referred to a food bank'. The dramatic 'details', like carrying SB there and collapsing on floors, have been added year after year the further removed from the actual incident she becomes.
I think she started with something simple that probably is basically true, eg I can believe she went to a food bank once and then she embellished it very carefully in the first few accounts and as nobody called out that or her other small lies/embellishments she got bolder and bolder, tailoring her accounts of things to whatever purpose she wished to serve at the time.

10 years later, she’s told so many stories she can’t remember them all and probably can’t actually remember which one is the real truth either.

I don't agree with most of Katie's views but I just skimmed this and thought there were some excellent observations
I'll admit that the last 6 months of following Jack has turbocharged my natural cynicism - but isn't it a bit fishy that this arrived the day after AM's brief reappearance?

It's a reasonable summary of other people's work, with a few obvious errors: Sunday Woman is a low-engagement blog, not a "media outlet"; Jack has bought far more than a single sideboard; it's impossible for Jack to have made as little as £20k in the last year from Patreon; there's no evidence at all of Jack having done "dinner speeches"; she's confused "avoidance" and "evasion" when talking about Jack's taxes; the situation with the On a Bootstrap Ltd accounts was much worse than simply being "a year late".

A bigger problem for me is the studied avoidance of crediting Tattle. The list of sources should lend credibility, but there's a definite air of "parallel construction" about them - it's almost as if she's claiming to have done all the research herself, when she very clearly hasn't. I guess she might claim that Tattle is held in low regard, and that naming it as a source would detract from the article - but if that's a concern, why then include several paragraphs moaning about how many platforms she's been banned from? It's all a bit weird.

She uses that version of events in the podcast she did with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, except rather than claiming her and SB were having multiple portions she claims she brought Tupperware with her and took leftovers home. She was also very sneering about the sure start group, which was for young mothers, saying she only went for the free food and that it was enforced socialisation. That struck me as so typically Jack, essentially thinking she was too good for a mum and baby group.
It also demonstrates how ignorant she is. She was a single mother with a low income, which are recognised as being vulnerability factors. The main thing you want to build (within a public health sphere) is community capacity. Develop positive relationships and help reduce things like poor maternal/infant mental health, disorganised attachment and improve overall future outcomes.
She could at least look past her own honker and see why these things actually exist. It's not just for the chocolate bourbons 🤷

It’s been five months and 23 days since she added a recipe to her blog. And that was a spite fish pie because she was mad about THAT MAN and his one pot show. Wonder if we’ll make it to six months without an update?

Also she was going to do a month of one pot days and managed literally one recipe of pasta slop.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want her to ever post another slop bowl and potentially waste someone’s time and ingredients.

has anyone mentioned that David Maddox seems sooooo worried about Jack’s accusations of libel? He’s retweeted Lee Anderson twice since Jack went off on one earlier, subtle message to her 😂
I love how nobody is scared of Jack Monroe any more 🥰
