Jess Redden

[Dreamycloud]

Bless her she’s very ordinary Looking and grossly underweight to the point of an 8 year old child’s body.
shes quite a tacky and cheap dresser. Not the little Minnie Mouse she appears to be…. BUT
I do feel a little empathy for her, I seen both of them in brown Thomas two Christmass ago, he was walking around like a true egomaniacal narcissist, waving at people who recognised him, in his glory as she trailed behind him, he wandered into the french ladies section, pulling through the clothes rails looking for acknowledgement as it was so busy, she was actually crying behind him…. He was acutely aware of his game and for anyone not to see how transparent it was must have been blindfolded. She was about 5 stone in leggings. It was a sad sight.
as a professional, what I witnessed was gaslighting in its finest form… he’s a supercilious, obsequious narcissist. He’s clearly conditioned her over the years since she was very young, pity her as it’s taking it’s toll. He’s a player and he’ll never change- fact.

All that just cos you saw them 2 years ago?

I think Jess seems lovely. I don’t find her OTT with positivity, she openly says there are some days that she’s so down with grief that she stays in bed and she’s trying to let herself feel her grief too. It looks very clear to me that the weight dropped off her though grief which is understandable. None of us know if she has an eating disorder, she might be that ectomorph type of body who struggles to gain weight. I do think she seems like someone who is always on the go mentally and physically so I’d say she burns a lot of calories that way. Either way, I wish her nothing but the best, she’s been lovely any time I’ve interacted with her on social media.

I went down a rabbit hole of looking at her old brows and somehow discovered a photo of her in a Juicy Couture tracksuit and I can’t unsee the resemblance to Regina George’s mother in Mean Girls

This is a bit much!! She's very petite and obviously could do with putting on some weight but she does eat and exercise! Wonder would you be so cruel about someone over weight doing no exercise which is just as unhealthy.... or is that not triggering for people.
Totally cruel going on about how she looks like an 8 yr old!! I think she's lovely and positive!

Obviously could do with putting on some weight ...are you joking? She is emaciated!!! That's her business but to be selling herself as a vision of health is so wrong.

You work with people like Jess and her toxic bull? Jesus, that’s grim if it’s the truth - such empathy for a healthcare professional!!

Her content is toxic and bull. Empathy does not mean standing by and smiling and nodding when you can see someone use their platform to do harm. I've had clients mention her 6am workouts and diet in sessions. I've also said previously I do hope she gets help for her very obvious issues. However, those issues aren't obvious to everyone especially those vulnerable to her messaging. So I'll keep my empathy and supporting those who actually go looking for it, rather than making money off it, cheers

Absolutely gorgeous bride , sophisticated and understated. They look so happy in their pictures and so in love compared to last weeks wedding where there were stoney faces, pouting & blatant tack, absolutely no chemistry. Rob and Jess are a beautiful couple no matter what anyones opinion are on her personally

 

[Aoifeee__x]

I cannot stand the type of girl Jess is. Won’t shut up about her wedding courses, dress fittings, menu tasting etc etc but when asked simple questions such as when it is, where it is she shuts off and won’t answer it. If she didn’t want those questions she shouldn’t mention the wedding at all. It really annoys me!

 

[I got up at 5am]

what is with her saying “I wanted to share it as this is something that’s not spoken about” as if she’s being brave talking about some personal issue

She wants to deflect from her wedding being a super spreader event and wants to be the voice of education around covid. She does this with everything. So false

 

[NoMoreSpotlight]

what a horrible comment to make .... you must feel bad about yourself if you feel the need to attack another woman’s looks like

You've made some comments yourself on Trisha's Transformation thread that aren't too kind. Why is it ok to bash overweight people but not underweight people?

 

[Snowjoke]

Whatever you think about Jess it was her wedding day, give her a break haha She recently lost her dad so it would have been hard enough for her. Not their fault people got covid, you could get it in Tesco ffs

 

[rantingqueen]

Beauty.

She looked absolutely stunning. So effortlessly beautiful. Low key and classy affair. Pics are up

So agree with this. They’re stunning. The influencers could learn a thing or two about classy weddings from them.

 

[Indiepop]

I honestly don't understand the hate for Jess.... she is one of the nicest on instagram

Completely agree and also lovely in DMs too. I’d be the first to call an influencer out for shady behaviour but I think she’s been authentic and genuine about the ups and downs of her life and tbh I think it’s harsh to rip the girl to shreds when she’s had an awful bereavement and is struggling with her own mental health/weight. I genuinely don’t see what she does that is so bad.

I comment her for talking about fertility and the fact that she had lost her period. I do feel she focused alot on stress cortisol and hormone issues etc, when in plain terms the most significant issue is simply over exercising-which she does and being severely under nourished which she was sadly. I'm glad she's kind of addressed what I was saying here about her being dangerously underweight and completely over exercising but she's basically admitting that she had lost her periods from it!! It's quite a severe warning sign from your reproductive system not just a regular thing that happens every 2nd month or so whenever your stressed it's your body's way of screaming to be fed and rested, while trying to be honest I think it's worrying that she sounds like it's a run of the mill thing and it's not. Maybe she was just nervous to talk about it. it's not a common thing I hope young girls realise that and that by doing this to your body your seriously affecting your ability to have a baby in the future, I work in a healthcare setting if we had someone with an absence of their period it would be treated very seriously....cannot believe people were actually questioning that we were jealous of her on here etc and that she is a great.role model etc
I was literally saying that she looked starved to death which she definitely was but I suppose I didn't think she'd read here....and I wouldn't allow my daughter to look up to someone or view someone so undernourished and running 15km in a hotel room, it's bonkers and screams severe ED....and someone who is quite unwell. I'm glad she has come to terms with how much she deprived her body and over exercised as she clearly had lost her period and was very ill. I do think that she has put on a tiny amount of weight in the last 4 weeks. And if commenting on here (which she said she saw) pushed her to open her eyes and get some help before it got to the point of no return, then I'm happy. I just cannot believe how gullable some people are. If someone is that skinny and it's not their natural look and they exercise way too extremely then they more than likely have an ED. They aren't just super motivated and 'body goals'

 

[nocodu]

Yes Rob is only there on a 6 month contract..Jess there for 5 months then home to finish college placement

Well she's 27. She should be well able to travel from Sydney to Dublin by herself. A month apart isn't really a long time to spend apart in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Lmarcon]

I’m I the only one who thinks she looks nice but nothing amazing?

 

[Tarzipan]

I really like Jess, she's positive and seems very sweet. She has also had a tough year of it. Couldn't say a bad word about her to be honest.

Agree totally. Must be very hard to stay so positive after the rough time she’s had. I think she seems like a lovely girl and not a typical “wag” - she’s obviously got a brain in her head and is using it.

 

[I got up at 5am]

She is a smart girl but her ott positivity is toxic at a time where so many of us are struggling with the basics. Her lists are so immature I cringe when I read them. She is extremely privileged and quite far removed from reality. Her exercising is excessive and I really think it’s not healthy

 

[Clangers2]

Jess is an adult woman. If she’s denying she has a problem and prolifically posting on SM, there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop her. I feel for her because she’d had a lot of stress recently with the wedding, Covid outbreak and testing positive on honeymoon, Christmas without her dad etc. It’s the perfect storm for an ED to flare up as EDs are all about control in a world where you feel like you have none. It’s such a painful place to be.

But at the same time, I remember being a teenager and being absolutely influenced by photos of painfully thin models with their ribs on show and thinking that was what I needed to be. At my worst I still strived for this and even when my world was collapsing around my ED, thinking at least I was as thin as those poster models and had a sense of achievement and perfectionism that Jess is flaunting all over her insta. She’s incredibly triggering in her behaviours and unnatural thinness and I think it’s dangerous to a lot of young people who look up to her.

I agree with her being extremely unhealthy all while promoting health its ironic and dangerous on easy influenced young people .... But the stress part nahhhh she's loaded she has no financial worries whatsoever, newly married to the love of her life, boo hoo she got covid while on her grossly expensive luxury honeymoon,after her luxury 5 star wedding... the country is on its knees, people are homeless, starving, can't buy a home, out of work, I'm sorry but I wouldn't give one sympathetic thought to someone of such privilege, difference with jess is if she does have this condition she can go seek any amount of private treatment, in Ireland or abroad as she has the means to do so, I'd feel more sorry for the poor souls in Ireland that aren't rich that are dying on waiting lists for non existent mental health services....

Thought she came across so well on Brian Dowling's podcast - poor girl seems to be really struggling and really in the midst of serious grief. Considering how soon she did that interview after her father's death, she did so well speaking about it.

Feel terrible for her that her wedding is essentially on hold until she feels she can cope without her dad being there - it must be horrific dealing with that. She also mentioned that she felt guilty eating when her dad was so unwell and unable to eat himself - his illness and death was clearly a trigger for her regarding disordered eating; I hope she gets support when she returns home, really have a lot of respect for her after that interview.

Nail on head here . The ott positivity is actually toxic and obsessive . All very curated and measured . I think there is nothing genuine about her personally . Even how she is flogging stuff and doing spon con in Oz for that pharmacy in Dublin she worked in . Give it a break . She talks and obsess about food too much to have a healthy relationship with it in my opinion .


Can you give us a small clue?!

She definitely doesn’t have a healthy relationship with food. I don’t understand why someone who is intelligent and is studying to be a pharmacist would want to sell things on social media. It makes no sense to me at all
