I laughed at this reply from Jack's mum after her series of tweets about how difficult her labour was (because of course it was, no one has it harder than Jack).

Just goes to show that her mum is very involved and surely wouldn't let her daughter and grandchild struggle and starve.

Exactly, what is it with some influencers wanting to plead their poverty? Very same with Sali Hughes who is adamant that she grew up working class when it's patently obvious she didn't. My family wasn't loaded but we weren't working class

Surely her partner alone would be enough to get then a mortgage seeing as she's in the top 5% of earners?
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"

This is her. She has a name of her own. Even though Jack just refers to her as Mrs J 🤢 Their relationship sounds pretty messed up, although it's difficult to know what to believe when Jack is talking. She definitely makes it sound like there are power and control issues, lots of talk about "being allowed" to do things and permissions. Sounds ducked up to me.

Her Mum must know she's a serial liar, maybe she just lets her get on with it! Didn't they foster a load of kids as well? Maybe Jack has issues with that who knows.

Her family must be very embarrassed. I'm sure that they have all become accustomed to her utter bull, but to have to see it all played out so publicly must be very humiliating.
I do wonder about the father of her son, and whether he thinks it is a good, stable upbringing for the child. I assume (hope) that Jack doesn't actually do much of the parenting, she seems pretty hands off, unless she's using him to promote something. If she's working 800 hours per calendar day (😜) then I guess she's not caring for him.
Hopefully whoever looks after him is able to shield him from most of her damaging behaviour, and will lay down some strong foundations for him to be able to cope with it when he is old enough to be hit by the avalanche of awful stuff she has done.

Instead of a daddy dom relationship, mummy dom perhaps? 🤷‍♀️

Oh that reminds me! She also posted this on Twitter:

She apparently 'co-parented' her parents' foster kids from age 7.

Her ex Allegra McEvedy broke up with her not long after she came as non binary transgender, although I’m not sure if she identify as that anymore as it’s hard to keep up.

My sister (funnily, my foster sister) is a compulsive liar and it’s a weird unspoken about thing in the family so I’m not surprised? My (foster) mum doesn’t believe a lot of it but daren’t call her out as she has a temper and she knows it’d mean reduced contact, (foster) dad is a bit dim and laps it all up and lets her run circles round him. I can’t explain how uncomfortable being around someone like this, I’m a gobby opinionated woman but I can’t bear to call it out because it’s just SO uncomfortable.

Her whole family are probably hostage to the same tit she inflicts on the rest of Twitter tbh

Sorry to post twice but I do think this is a very MC saviour complex and really quite a ducked up thing to say. After my wedding my foster sister went to the pub with a few of my friends & most embarrassingly my husband’s oldest mate and said similar to them, detailing how she helped “save me”. It’s one of a handful of things that have caused us to no longer have a relationship tbh.

Yes, she went public saying that she'd told Allegra she was transgender and wanted to have her breasts removed and Allegra wasn't happy about it. So they broke up and she started taking hormones while she organised her top surgery. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So where does Mrs J come from then? I assumed the J alluded to the partners name but it must allude to Jack's? It's all very weird

How fast does the process move in the UK? It's a battle of a minimum of 3 years to get hormones here, surgery could mean going to London.

I am assuming it Jack asserting control/power in the relationship, even if it only exists on Twitter

Apparently she wasn’t sure either, the tweet was later deleted, she really is the white girl version of jameela jamil if you see the amount of stuff she claims she had happen to her, eye opening 😬
I know access to the operations trans people need is a nightmare, especially in a criminally underfunded NHS, but least they’re being safeguarded with right processes and the psychological testing they have to go through. Horrifying to think you can go and book in on a whim with a private surgeon and end up making irreversible changes to yourself. What would she have done? :/

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.

Oh sorry I don’t know either way - had assumed it couldn’t possibly be NHS because the barriers to entry are SO high for people that have spent years committed to living as their preferred/identified (sorry not sure right word here) gender much less someone a few months into the process. I know a lot of trans people access T/other hormones privately because waiting for the appointments that facilitate accessing that can take years alone, let alone getting it and it’s not too unobtainably expensive (compared to the surgeries). I’m not trans so someone who is will be better placed to comment!
 
From what I can gather, she was purchasing the testosterone privately whilst awaiting her first appointment. I don't know whether she attended her appointment, will have time to research tomorrow.
