All jokes aside that hair is dreadful

Oh she needs to fuck right off.
Anyone freelance like her with a bit of sense will have a ‘safety net’, I’m sorry I don’t see that she’s living from cheque to cheque. Bore off

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.

I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend like this and I'm at the stage now where I just don't want her as a friend anymore.

She rings and messages me constantly lurching from one alleged 'crisis' to another, from her supposedly abusive alcoholic husband to the guy she's having an affair with who apparently is just after her money, which she apparently doesn't have any of because every second sentence is about how she can't afford something. She has to take the kids to her mother's for food because she can't afford any, but 5 minutes later she's going away for the night with the other guy and she has to pay for it because he doesn't have any money.
She has a different medical problem every week and I'm convinced she has Munchausens because she's always at the GP and she seems to take the kids there every 5 minutes too, so I suspect Munchausens by proxy too.

Sorry, I've gone a bit off topic there, but I needed to get that off my chest!

But yes, that's Jack Monroe to a T. An attention seeker who thrives on drama.

And am I reading this right - someone buys her a weighted blanket and she didn’t bother thanking them? But has time to tweet about the blanket?

Also how tone deaf would you have to be to say you are taking refuge from your troubles under your expensive GIFTED (but forgot to mention that bit, hmm) weighted blanket. While many people are now facing zero income and have no savings, no book advances etc to fall back on.

Her partner now lives with her so she must be able to contribute to rent and bills.

Oh wowww, without even knowing any of the context of that situation I don’t see how she can justify whatever’s going on there. What an utter narcissist, rushing to tweet that because if she doesn’t post for longer than 5 hours people might forget she exists...
The way it’s such an attention seeking and uneccesary bit of self promotion, but she couldn’t spend 5 minutes on a generic but enthusiastic thank you for whoever that person is.

I have found a lot of her tweets joking about coronavirus in poor taste especially as she seems to be using it as an excuse to self promote and encourage stock piling

But I cannot believe that she, as a celebrity who has written best selling cook books and appeared on This Morning, is hard up enough to tweet her PayPal and ask for donations! I’m sorry but I just don’t buy it!!

She’s got a nerve begging for money when not even 24hrs earlier on her Convid rant she replied to someone saying she’s just paid their wedding deposit. Oh she must be really hard up . Literally has no shame.
Absolute tramp.

I just saw that after looking at Twitter. And, she was grumbling about her partner working from home.

Awaiting the day she discovers this thread and takes to twitter to tweet about all the hate she gets

Hang on, this person has an assistant?! And she's literally begging for money on social media?

I know lots of people who work freelance. I don't know a single one who can afford an 'admin assistant'.

Doesn't Jameela Jamil also play this same game? Found this DM article hilarious, especially the part about 'killer bees'

Exactly. As I’ve said on here before I found it very difficult to believe that her parents wouldn’t have helped out with food and money.
