Right, so I'm new here. Like many of you I'm sure, I was so shocked by the split that I wanted to see if anyone knew any more information because it was just so baffling to me! They seemed like a really great team and just seemed to genuinely care for each other so for them to split up supposedly out of nowhere was actually really upsetting!
I'm a similar age to Jade and have been watching her videos for a couple of years now - I initially found her through the Disney vlogs but actually much prefer her day-to-day videos and just find her general demeanour to be calm and inspiring. I know you don't always know what happens behind closed doors but she genuinely seemed like a lovely, caring person. I can only imagine what she must be going through right now.
So this leads me on to the reason that I actually decided to post for the first time....I cannot believe the disgusting, outright, petty bitchiness that I've seen on this site. I'd heard of forums like this one before and assumed it was mainly inhabited by 14 year olds who didn't know better, but having read through some of the other Jade threads it's become very clear that most of the contributors of the really judgey, snarky posts are by people who are at least the same age if not MUCH older than Jade! It gives me so much secondhand embarrassment to read that kind of stuff - can you imagine being so unhappy in yourself that you decide to pick apart every aspect of a complete stranger's life? Especially when that "stranger" (Jade) is one of the least problematic people online right now.
If I were Jade, reading through those other threads would be like seeing every anxious, paranoid or negative thought you've had about yourself come to life. It's like when you're convinced that people are talking about you behind your back but your friend says "Don't be silly, no one would say those things about you." Except in Jade's case there actually ARE people saying all of things!
I do think that these kinds of sites can really breed troll behaviour and make people think it's OK to judge and pick apart every aspect of someone else's life, home, style and relationships. I don't know about you guys, but I certainly wouldn't want to stay friends with someone if I found out they were posting those kind of comments on a thread on this site. Imagine what they would say about you behind your back!
Also, on a lighter note, I do kind of love that one of the only things that these people can find to criticise about Jade is how clean and "perfect" her house is, haha.
Sorry to kind of 'rant', but I really don't think Jade deserves this level of hate. I think anyone with a heart can see that she's doing her best, trying to create content when she must be feeling so raw with emotion still and do you know what, I really don't care how many ads she posts! Make that bank, girl! As if we wouldn't do the same thing in her shoes.
I hope anyone reading this is doing ok, and keeping themselves safe and well.
Peace!
