You can see how much of Leggys story jack thieved reading that article. The being wild in the groucho club. The misspent youth (jack went one up with prostitution cos she never lived with mates where she could claim drug use), the risqué wink wink sex scrans. She's such a vampire. Everyone is just grist for her mill.She looks exactly like her Mum. Identical to the point it’s hard to believe this isn’t a pic of Allegra.

Allegra McEvedy: Still cooking with Mum
Amy Fleming: Chef Allegra McEvedy's most treasured possession was her late mother's recipe book. Then it got irretrievably lost. As a mother herself now, she misses that potent symbol of a bond of love forged in the kitchenwww.theguardian.com
View attachment 2680465ETA However much a twit I think Leggy is, it must suck to keep being so closely linked to what was likely one of the biggest mistakes you ever made in your life, almost a decade after you managed to extricate yourself from it.All conjecture of course, but… Jack’s in Southend, she’s just split with PoPo, she’s living rent free in a house a friend is selling that she knows is going to be very short term.
I’d bet a substantial amount of money that she read this article and it ticked a lot of boxes in her mind, each of them with a kaaa-ching!sound (single, famous, posh and minted, MASSIVE house, no parents, kid the same age as mine, somewhat sad back story, in the “food industry like me”
) and in the hard. cold, light of this, ol shark-eyes decided to get “her son” a goldfish and name it Allegra. There’s a vast amount in that article and the story around Allegra’s book that a narc like Jack could use to “bond” with Leggy.
Seriously, no way that Allegra being all over THE NEWSPAPERS/media with this story in late 2013 isn’t related to Jack going out of the way to put herself exactly where Leggy couldn’t miss her even if she tried.
Have never bought that, even the compulsive shopper that she is, Jack had a copy of Economy Gastronomy and clocked Leggy back there in 2010-11. She didn’t give two fucks about food or cooking back then. Nigella, Gordon, Jamie, Delia books that she could pick in WHSmith or Sainsburys, maybe. Allegra, not so much. I reckon Leggy came on radar for other reasons, and much later on…
Allegra McEvedy: ‘I’d be happy never to see another f***ing
Losing her mother’s recipe book was a terrible blow to Allegra McEvedy. As she recreates it for her daughter, the chef talks to Alison Roberts about drugs, divorce and Dauphinoiswww.standard.co.uk
LJC deserves just as much opprobrium, if not more, in my view. LJC spent 3+ years turning a blind eye to the grift, to Jack’s multiple lurid blog posts the details of which were repeated and splashed all over socials and the media/several additional HUGE grifts/social media spats. Leggy didn’t do any of those things. I wonder if maybe we should leave the deep dives and discussion of Jack’s past OHs on this thread (and am talking to myself here much as anyone!).
Thinking on it, the poor fuckers have suffered more than enough just by suffering Jack, without being mithered over here for reasons both related and unrelated to her!

I think it's a really posh thing, like having a messy house that smells of dogs. "I'm so rich i don't need to make an effort to please you" sort of thing.

It's really frightening when you put it like that - and obviously correct. It's really frightening that people can be so calculating and power/money/fame hungry that they treat others as means rather than ends.She looks exactly like her Mum. Identical to the point it’s hard to believe this isn’t a pic of Allegra.

I am SO telling Mr F that we're posh from now on whenever he complains about the amount of dog hair on the living room carpet!!
This is the biggest lie of them all - if that’s a Sunday lunch at Dave’n’Ev’s, where’s the wonderful (chronically anemic) roast potatoes??She even posted this pic ss by @hooplifehero to PROVE she was at Ma and Pa’s) View attachment 2680034
It’s just…everything. Allegra’s past, her experiences, her aesthetic, everything. And still to this day. It’s actually really quite disturbing.
To be fair, the chicken appears to be dry as duck - and Big D has a spenny-looking watch on his wrist...
One thing that really annoys me about those photos is how at least Leggy has that awful hanging kitchen so everything is at hand. Imbecilic guest copies the aesthetic but not the purpose. Who the duck has a bastard cheesegrater overhanging their writing desk? Fool.
I never answer the door, chances are if i am not expecting you, then i am busy and or etc. Perhaps she was going to share her granola recipie with you!
Filthy nails...check
Dry chicken...check
Yep, it's Pa Hadj
This is why her relationships go bad, quickly. Her whole life is a lie. Imagine the slow (yet fast) realization that she's a chronic bullshitter
What I'd give as a nosy, nosy ninny to hear from Leggy, LJ and Old HaroldJack was with Leggy for a lot longer than I’d initially thought. See Jack - it’s OK to admit you’re wrong! Presumably she must have met Big Dave. I’m struggling to imagine that meeting. Dave must have been on top Tory pompous behaviour to upper class Leggy, while being an absolute tit.
That's a stock photo, right? Is that the joke that I'm missing? I'm a bit thickQMLAN and getting hugely into the weeds here, but what a complete bleep she really is. If Dave MBE and Ev ordered a brand spanking new sofa from DFS Basildon in Nov 2021…

Also what tf are these???
We should be taught to recognise such people in nursery, kindergarten and Primary School.
Jeez.
Yes, I believe every character or scenario she has ever larped can be traced back to a person she’s known, a film or a book. Like, a lot of her taller stories (kidnapping, mutism, acid tree dangling threats, severe anorexia, food stolen from bins, needle torture) are obviously plagiarised from misery memoirs, popular fiction or memories recounted by other celebs or notable people. I’m actually quite surprised that she never got round to claiming she sold her teeth a la Victor Hugo.
It’s a stock photo. She posted a pic of the dog on a sofa and was claiming to be at Mam and Dad’s. It’s cos were mithering on that thread that she was afraid to go round cos she’d made an absolute twit of him online that week. Mind you, as @MancBee and @Lucky Escape have pointed out it seems to be a stock photo of dinner round Dave and Ev’s.
What the duck they are is paint sample cards hanging on strings. WHY the duck they are is a different matter. There, unfortunately I’m unable to assist you. She’s a MAVERICK and I am sadly nothing but a mere deliciously ordinary human being who has not even cooked for MARY PORTAS, so have not the luxury of understanding.
ETA to be completely honest I can’t even remember if @hooplifehero posted that pic of the chicken pretending Jack had posted it or if Jack actually did post it. It’s the Jack Monroe threads; we are all through the looking glass staring up at the chickens and out at Eva Green all of the time here.

We triangulated them as being paint samples. B & Q had them for their make your own (Velspar?) mixing range.
Not that this explains why she's hanging them up in the kitchen so wfk?
Thank you! I guess the why is she looked around and went, it's not quite cluttered enough in here, there's a few tiny empty spaces in the air that need filling, get the string out, these'll do
My God, when you see it like that it's not funny, it's frightening. She concocted an entire back story and a career of culinary carnage because she wanted to emulate Allegra. The poor woman must live in terror of her. I wonder when she twigged.
(Apropos of nothing, that story about the mother's cookbook in landfill made me really sad. What a rotten thing to happen.)
