Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[nco88]

Similar age and my cat tore the back of my hand apart when I was 17 and you can still see faint scarring (school was convinced i was self harming) so hers I would expect to see skin discoloration.

On TV she seems really timid which surprised me as I only initially followed Jack on twitter. The two personas were at odds.

Hmm, maybe she’s looking for compensation. Much ado about not a lot.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

totally agree.. can i ask what cptsd and mh are? (sorry to be that person but google came up with just random company references lol)

Oh sorry my love, complex post traumatic distress - usually it’s written C-PTSD so entirely my fault! And mental health = MH! xx

 

[Mustard]

So many people willing to arse lick her.

On TV she seems really timid which surprised me as I only initially followed Jack on twitter. The two personas were at odds.

I get the impression she has an online "persona" where she likes to make out that she is a lot more sassy than she is.

She raised nearly £70k to write a book in December 2015 and planned to deliver it by May 2016. Except she didn’t. People were really patient, until they weren’t. People felt conned. They were following her on social media and she had loads of time to post on Twitter and Instagram but didn’t bother to update her backers on Kickstarter to explain why the book was so late and when she planned to get it finished. Lots of people were contacting Kickstarter for refunds. The book was eventually published in August 2018.

This is shocking!

this is exactly qhat cameto my mind too! also why the needto use the soaghetti hoop and coconut milk? the rest could easily just be a simple.stew

Exactly a chickpea stew with the fresh veg would hardly be revolutionary... The coconut milk and spaghetti hoops I reckon she just put them there as if to show how clever she is, noone could actually make something edible using all of those things.

 

[SelmaClaire]

She's such a dick.

She managed to get her non Barclays bank card swallowed up in a Barclays ATM. Then she thinks as she's a Barclays customer she should be able to get it back right away. But it's against their internal policy as it's owned by another bank. Now goes on a rant. Talk about entitled.
...
Going on about she's got half an hour to pay someone delivering a skip and her ADHD means she's unable to keep more than one bank card in her wallet. Then saying she could confirm her identity by rolling up her sleeve and the bank clerk doing a google images search to see her tattoos. I'd think she's some troll trying to poke fun at millennials.

She makes my blood boil. Always looking for drama. Always looking out for her own interests. Ugh!

 

[Hunty]

You'd think so, but perhaps she has a poor credit rating. Or doesn't want to take the commitment (financial or otherwise) of tying herself to Jack. It wasn't that long ago Jack was engaged to someone else, and she is famously very.... flighty. Can't say I would blame the current partner for being cautious.

Who is her partner? Is she on twitter? I can't imagine they will actually get married or if they do I can't see it lasting long, Jack likes to play victim far too much to have a "happy ending"

 

[emm]

Kept seeing this name pop up and finally had a nosy on her instagram. Omg, how self righteous and full of herself is she?! Am I right in seeing that she’s asking her followers to send her tip money to her PayPal account?! With people losing jobs and taking pay cuts? She’s a right piece of work.

it's so strange cos she seemedso normal when i first read about her in the guardian, i dunno if she was always like this or the "fame" has gone to her head?

 

[Muddlinleigh]

A guess: V*nny Brav*? Frightened of writing her name clearly here and it becoming the subject of a dreary Twitter thread.

How did you guess?

 

[Jelly Bean]

90 hours a week! Yeah right. Probably even counts cooking meals in that as “recipe testing”.

Did you find Tattle hard to get onto today? Lots of wierd things about 'security certificates'? Seems very quiet with lots of threads with no posts after about 12 last night.

 

[AmberSpyglass]

* Off topic but chef related.
Guys I'm gutted. The formerly lovely Rick Stein is refusing to pay his laid off workers. I am so surprised and disappointed in him.

What a rich, selfish bastard he’s shown himself to be , twat!

 

[AdoraDelano]

Ah ok, sorry my bad

Knowing her, she'll probably change the story at some point though and say she did take him there.

 

[MrsOgre]

What is she trying to prove? The amount she bangs on about how long she works is so odd, and unbelievable.

That post is anxiety inducing

 

[Jelly Bean]

Wonder when we'll see one of those crying/ranting videos on Instagram a la SH?
And apparently we're all going to contact the BBC to try to get her sacked as soon as her new show starts, but *she has already warned the beeb* so there
Wonder when we'll see one of those crying/ranting videos on Instagram a la SH?
And apparently we're all going to contact the BBC to try to get her sacked as soon as her new show starts, but *she has already warned the beeb* so there! BBC must be wondering what they have got themselves into


She is referring to the nasty campaign as *one grumpy tweet* and has apparently written him a letter of apology.
He must have been delighted to receive it

Warning the beeb is actually quite an astute move - so any criticism at all she can say comes from here and therefore doesn't count. Sali Hughes does that too about any negativity.
People that complain about here always emphasise their security as they know people (quite rightly) would be horrified if it were true that deranged people from here are seeking their address. (As an aside it was SH who told another person on twitter whose husband wanted to know if she knew where we lived - 'Yes, literally all of them').

I actually hope Jack does a good job - in these horrible times if one person is helped that has got to be a good thing. Just a shame she didn't have the same attitude with Jamie's programme.

 

[AmberSpyglass]

I prefer Tebbutt to James Martin. Now that man is an unbearable cunt.

Yes, he is a chauvinistic twat too.

 

[Mustard]

I think that's all he can cope with at the moment, looks as if he is about to crack up.

I quite enjoyed yesterday’s programme where he made quesadillas. He pronounced them casadillas.

 

[emm]

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

great idea!!

 

[nco88]

Sorry I thought she was going via nhs seeing as she is 'paid minimum wage', scary how quickly it could have happened. Psychology assessments etc are a long process but essential for this reason, no one wants a patient to regret it and take legal action, because certain types of people will sue over anything.
