He was probably fed up with the St Jack the Martyr act and decided to wind her up and she's thrown a ridiculous strop.

Be good to see her receipts for the monetised BLM and kitten video donations at the same time

Hmmmm. I've wondered a few times if this current pov play is to build a story for not paying for certain things. Maybe for her landlord, maybe so someone who might also be named on the tenancy pays the full whack
I think there's a definite guilt tripping of Louisa involved in all this, and I think she'll be taking whatever money/goods she can from her. Actively hoping or seeking for her to get evicted is a different thing and would ultimately only help her grift.

Absolutely not suggesting she should be evicted if thats how any of my posts have come across

I'm so glad that googling 'Monroe tip jar' led me here. Yes, they fooled me. I'd worked out that they are a drama llama and a narcissist, but I'm seeing so many truths in your posts.

Yes, virtually everything she's done since SHE LEFT has been a guilt trip. Pity me for I am skint/ouchy/ill. The only exceptions to that are mooning about in bad wigs and violating sideboards which I think is meant to be alluring.

ETA I do think we're heading for a Christmas possible eviction drama, that will be more about the tips jar and (thankfully) nothing to do with any actual eviction.

Not wishing the abject misery of eviction either but I would imagine that isn’t a remote possibility, frankly.

I just wish the poor, vulnerable and kindhearted squiggles wouldn’t cough up their meagre pennies to fund the high end living addiction. When I chipped in for the food bank Tin Can books, it was money I wouldn’t have missed - it wasn’t a sacrifice. It seems many of her donors can’t say the same.

She needs a partner to fund her ideal lifestyle, I know the type. It's not about Louisa / Allegra / the policewoman / whoever, it's about securing the bag. A life lived alone isn't what's depressing to her, it's a life lived without two incomes which sticks in her craw.

Have we heard anything more about the big project when she went to London and had to wear heels all day?

She shouldn't need an eviction. She should be planning to leave at the end of her contract period and move to somewhere within her budget. She won't because she has become accustomed to living in an affluent area. That and it is stuffed to capacity with sideboards.

Where would she put all the high end furniture she has amassed? She wouldn't want to get rid of all that. Won't anyone think of the sideboards?

See when she says it's a home for her son? I just think it's a home for her sideboards.

Yep 100% just to add to the consensus. I know Jack is a pathological liar but rolling monthly contracts are definitely a thing, speaking from firsthand experience.

What was she thinking decking her rented home out like that with all that expensive stuff if she is so set on eventually buying somewhere? It makes no sense to me.

Jack monroe #92 Won't somebody think of the cotswalds?!

(Or "won't somebody think of the chicken livers?!" alternately)

People are simply props to a narcissist. They have roles to play in supporting the narrative. Sick mum, son that she makes out to be a burden, elitist mean TORY brother, dear sweet WC grandad (MY GRANDAD IS DEAD!), Louisa is just Mrs J and SHE LEFT, etc etc etc

The narcissist speaks of people only in relation to themselves, and/or in a way that fulfils the desired current narrative. Even her dad, who is assumed to be able-bodied, financially stable, done well in his career. He is only mentioned to bolster Jack’s narrative, he’s not just a dad doing dad stuff. None of these people are allowed independent achievements, personalities, or ‘agency’ over how they are portrayed.

People genuinely forget that she has made Twitter her job. They call her a hero and say she does so much good. You'd think she was staying up all night after a long shift at the NHS to concoct recipes from her little cupboard of Smartprice goods. Being a 'foodwriter' is fine, but don't tell everyone how absolutely skint you are several times a day while tweeting from your technology and luxury filled home that you lounge around in all day every day.
I'd love to have an actual debate with one of the avid fans to see what they would come off with. They're under such a false impression because they aren't following closely enough. The reason that many of us here are following so closely is because at one time or another we have felt scammed by her. I remember trawling through replies on some of her tweets looking for someone, anyone noticing the same inconsistencies thinking I must be going mad. I never found any!

I would absolutely love for her brother to join the cabal. Sounds like he’d fit right in.
