I literally don't get why her fans are being so bloody horrible about Jamie Oliver. I hope she is proud of this horrendous pile on she started - 'That man' - in a jealous temper tantrum.
As we all said what happened to the twitterati earnestly putting #be kind in the wake of Caroline Flack?

I just don’t understand the slagging off of people on social media. It makes you look unhinged, bitter, and really not someone you can work with, she’s causing her own problem here. If she was kind, helpful, genuinely passionate and ignored the perceived slights then people would warm to her. And nowadays you can’t take back tweets..

Oh, I'm so happy to find this. I can't believe so many people buy into her bullshit when she is the absolute definition of a victim.

What hasn't happened to her? Homeless and/or living in grinding poverty (two minutes from her parents), raped, domestic violence, chronic illness, alcoholism. I'm sure I'm missing things. I would love to hear the other side of many of these stories.

Plus the constant dramatic exits from Twitter.

She's ridiculous.

Fucking hell at those print screens above, she‘a 100% here!

Also it’s a shame the tweet is missing, but is this her speaking about Jamie Oliver?!!!

Mm if that is about Jamie Oliver she is being very disingenuous. It wasn't one 'grumpy tweet' and she knew full well the result her multiple tweets and comments in the press would have. She encouraged and 'liked' negative comments about him.
She can't try to distance herself from the appalling backlash he got and blame it on others.

i watched him making pasta too and it was weirdly calming!
l‘m not a huge fan but I watched last night and thought the fish pie looked good. I would make that and I’m not an amazing cook. Haven’t been near a supermarket but grabbing some frozen fish if there is any, isn’t something I had thought of.
Beats Jacks ‘use the juice from some fish fingers mixed with an old tin of cannelloni beads and bung in someold tinned anchovies to make fish pie’.

If she's lied about the extent to which she targeted Jamie Oliver and said it was just one tweet it might come back to bite her.

At least now she's got the BBC show she's stopped begging for money. Although she won't be deactivating her patron as she probably feels she's owed money for existing.

Thread suggestion, just keep it simple and make it show up in Google as she'll never dare mention tattle as it's too incriminating:

Jack Monroe #2 bootstrap cook on BBC one's Daily Kitchen Live with Matt Tebbutt
I agree with Yel on this. Keep the title simple so it’ll show up in Google searches. She’s not going to direct people to Tattle herself as it’s too incriminating.

I’ve always had my doubts about this woman’s back story......the poverty and food bank use, sexual violence survivor, ex sex worker, self harm, eating disorders, bullied, trans for a bit, alcoholism......

I remember quite a few years ago when I followed her, she was asking for advice after spilling something on her Mulberry handbag and then the next minute she’s crying poverty again. Oh and only buys shoes from Russell & Bromley because their shoes are the only ones that fit.

And another tale that made me 🙄 apparently passed the all the selection tests including fitness to become a firefighter. Despite being a premature baby and having Asthma and the endless other ailments.

All very odd yet the blue tickers lap her up
Don't forget the rheumatoid arthritis that meant she'd never be able to walk without a stick a few years ago...

What is she trying to prove? The amount she bangs on about how long she works is so odd, and unbelievable.
That shes a massive hard working breadwinner (even though shes skint)
And not someone who spends all day on twitter and browsing the internet for recipes while her partner goes out to work as a tv producer.

The concerning thing is what on earth has she been listening to and thinking she's in any way rational and sensible. I blame all the people giving her way way too much praise for putting tinned peaches in a curry.

She reminds me of PTWM - always has to be either the victim or the hero.

Just realised that the vegan banana bread from A Girl Called Jack (published 2014) that she shared on Twitter yesterday is almost exactly the same as the recipe that was posted on BBC Good Food in 2012

I feel sorry for her son as well. All things considered, he’s had a pretty chaotic life so far, what with moving house a lot, having to keep moving schools (I remember when Jack split with Allegra and they left London, he was placed into a school in Basildon because there were no school places available in Southend - that’s one hell of a commute for a kid at Infant school), his mother’s trans phase, assorted physical and mental health crises...

What work is she doing at a desk for 20 hours exactly!?
Poor Jack isn't particularly bright. If you're going to lie at least make it not totally obvious.

She's had so many people blowing smoke up her she genuinely believes her own hype. Well done for doing recipes for people that have never had to budget, but any originality or genuineness left many years ago. Makes me think she voluntarily chose hardship to pretend to be a common person for attention to get a media career.

She makes my skin crawl, I don't understand how all these celebs are fawning over her on twitter, I am especially disappointed in Nigella, how has she managed to get all these people on side? If a man did what she was doing to Jamie, there would have been uproar 🤦🏻‍♀️

Jamie Oliver has nothing to do with his Twitter account, it’s run by a team in the office. So it’s likely he has no idea about any of this. If she thought she was going to get him to react by tweeting what she did she’s deluded. All she’s done is give a 22 year old intern more work to do in having to scroll through all of it

So if she can’t find time for a few 5/10 minute YouTube videos how would she have time to host a tv programme! Surely she realises that she is shooting herself in the foot? if any producer goes through her Twitter they are going to dismiss her immediately.

Poor Jack has to grab her walking stick and haul her bedridden arthritic carcass into a TV studio to work else she can't eat or pay the bills. She's a gig economy worker on the breadline renting a shitty bungalow in Southend and the TV exec partner she lives with only earns 250k. Shame on the BBC for exploiting her vulnerability and only paying the living wage 😆.
She's going to go on air with a walking stick isn't she? It's going to be in shot resting on a worktop or chair somewhere within her reach or she will be a seated presenter because of her pain 😂😂 along with her epipens and probably just some giant medical bag with her name embroidered on it 😂😂

Always with the excuses Work smarter not harder. If the 20 hour days are not raking in enough money to make her and happy and rich then she is doing something wrong. She needs to stop and think about what she is doing. As that person said monetising on YouTube is simple. And people know her for her raw / reality feel. They dont want shiny shiny. Put your video on a tripod and just do it Jack. I dont suppose Zoella started with a production company and a stack of fancy equipment.

Just checked out her website and the top recipe on this budget website was for vegan sausages that are apparently 38p. First two ingredients cooked chestnuts and silken tofu, in her own costings that's £4 already.

A pack of Linda McCartney vegan sausages is often 99p for 6. "Her" pricey sausages probably taste nice but budget they're not, how would this help anyone in poverty? I say "her" as ive seen recipes with the same main ingredients, she didn't create this recipe, probably just added something to someone else's recipe.

It's like fired earth showing the costings of one tile as £8, as if it's gonna be cheap to do a whole bathroom.

She doesn't even take the photos herself for the website, how is she so busy with an assistant but so broke she has to beg?
