Jess Redden

[Dancinatthedisco]

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.

Have to agree with you and the PP. I really like Jess, she seems to have a mature head on her shoulders, doesn’t overshare (although if she wants to start sharing Rob Kearney in his PJs I am here for it ), has a great relationship and respect for her parents and is very motivated and determined in her career - I don’t think she can be pegged as a typical WAG.

I do think people need to start moving away from commenting on people’s shape, big or small. She seems to have her head screwed on when it comes to nutrition and doesn’t deprive herself.

My girls are too young for social media but she is definitely the type of role model I would encourage compared to a lot of the other ones out there!

maybe I should be on a rave thread

 

[ttttttttttttt]

I have to say I really like Jess... she seems really sweet, decent and smart. Every second word is not fuc@ or fuc@ing like some others I could mention. I think she is a great role model for young girls. She isn’t in your face, does not share every private moment with Rob... she is refreshing to be honest compared to a lot of the others.

God, I feel sorry for your young daughter if she’s looking up to you and the way you just picked two people apart for their looks. And then continued on to try to detract from Jess doing pharmacy by suggesting she took an easy route in??

Absolutely 110%. Influences start at home and I am teaching my girls a persons looks are the least interesting thing about them. Motivation, determination, career goals are what I would like someone to motivate my girls with. They are also learning that they know absolutely nothing about a persons health by looking at a picture. It is so so damaging and toxic. I am so thankful I was raised by a mother who led by this example.
Anyone who claims to know Jess is severely underweight, eats 500 calories a day or has a dangerous BMI must be very close to her in which case the girl has bigger problems than her weight. However I suspect people on this thread aren’t close to her and are talking out of their arse!

it’s the same on Facesbygrace thread. Her weight is up for opinion and assumptions are made about her on the back of it. It’s absolute bullshit.

“Chipped my tooth so having it looked at today, so important to be proactive about your health”

Fuck off Jess you spoiled, entitled little skeleton.

Not everyone has bundles of cash to throw at minor stuff with loaded parents and a minted sports star fella.. she rots me

 

[testingonetwothreefoiur]

EDs are horrific, complicated, hopeless torture chambers to live in so she's got my full empathy there. However, you can empathise and also call out toxic, damaging behaviour that may adversely impact vulnerable people like her SM does. Jess seems like a nice lady, there's no malice in her I'm sure. But she's skeletal, gym obsessed, "wellness" AKA toxic perfectionism obsessed and displays signs of orthorexia and that's if she is in fact eating anything at all these days. She cannot be menstruating in her current state and is at risk of anemia and osteoporosis, Her instagram is not a safe place for someone struggling with weight, food or general body image issues.

 

[Tomboy]

If this is all true then I feel for them.. horrible situation, and they will forever remember everyone getting covid at their wedding and not the wedding itself!! I hope no one is too sick with it!

 

[Goss_Goddess]

She’s anorexic and shouldn’t have such a huge following and platform simple as that.

All the excercising and supplements to end up looking like a scrawny, leathery 40 odd year old..
I’ve no sympathy for her, she’s extremely privileged, and people need to stop using the dads death as an excuse for her behaviour when she was like that before he died…

 

[NosyWelshCow]

I could never get offended by someone who is highly disciplined and gets up early to do a workout, regardless of their weight. If anything it motivates me to do more!

Then you’re totally missing the point of people’s concerns here.

She has an almost unattainable physique. She is clearly underweight and obsessive; young girls who follow her will think this is normal. It’s not.

Her posting that she knows she’s lost the weight she gained and has gone back to old habits does not absolve her of the dangers who influence represent. If she can see this, recognise it and wants to address it, why, when she is on vacation, is she posting her work outs?! Make it make sense.

 

[Cbisto]

Feel awfully sorry for her, what a comedown after the high of a wedding. Will have to book a second honeymoon. Hope all who caught Covid are ok.

 

[lalalees]

Proactive about your health by taking supplements but not food. Did anyone see her post about how long her nails had lasted? I was shocked that her nails had hardly grown in 2.5 weeks. Eat some food girl and nourish yourself.

 

[MarsBars]

Jess seems like a lovely and sweet girl. She doesn't appear to be fake and it's only been a few months since she lost her father. I really think it's unkind and harsh to be taking her apart.

The likes of Terrie McEvoy, SoSueMe the list is endless are all fakes and greedy!

 

[lillyjo]

She said before they spent a lot of time in Clare as a family. If that’s the reason they chose it, if says a lot about them as a couple ie. not just choosing an insta friendly 5*.

She did good on the dress. It really suits her.

Yes I agree completely, it annoyed me on here yesterday people knocking the hotel because of link to trump but we really dont know what’s going on with people. The fact she felt so emotionally connected to her dad on her wedding day here says a lot about what a caring person she is. Her and rob are way more
Connected in Those pics than another recent couple in an empty cold 5 star hotel. It looks like they had whole place booked out and didn’t even need marquee which was lovely too.

 

[notsodumbblonde]

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.

No offence but I don’t get why people think she’s severely underweight due to grief when she looked like this months before he died and before she found out he was unwell. Grief probably accelerated it, yes, but the problem is clearly there with a while.

 

[NosyWelshCow]

I’m beginning to think that she mentions the weight loss because she quite enjoys it… in the way any anorexic person does.

As previous posters have said, her acknowledging her low weight doesn’t mean anything if she continues to glorify it by posting images like those of the last few days.

 

[Blahblah___]

Yeah and how do we know or anyone know she don’t leave her home in those 5 days? No one will check

Spotted her food shopping today with her mum.......

 

[New-Yark]

I dunno, I just find her so disingenuous now since she’s had her “ta-dah” moment while away and realised she was over exercising and under eating. Remember all her baking in the first lockdown, all her dinners at Jamie’s in Dundrum and mooch yogurt, implying she was always eating everything but just recently admitted she’s overly restrictive with her food. She’s still flat out posting food and not a chance she’s eating any of it. I wish her well and I’m happy to see her come home, but I think she needs to take her eating habits of Instagram.

 

[Cf88]

I think they look so happy. She is an absolutely beautiful bride. Their chemistry is shining through the photos. They are beeming.

 

[NoMoreSpotlight]

Yes, kind of. But if Jess is triggering for people then they should block her, better for their mental health

Ah sure it’s that easy, thanks for that. Well I’ll tell that to the girls with ED’s who trawl Instagram looking for accounts like Jess. Sure I’m surprised there’s pro-ana websites and Instagram pages when your advice is the cure!! Your lack of insight into the complexities involved here means I won’t be engaging further.
You’re flat out fat shaming on Trishas Transformation thread so it’s very clear where you’re coming from. G’luck now….

 

[Sayit4real]

Needing a budget, set workouts , writing lists - she has to control every element of her life . Nothing relaxed or easy going about it . All measured contrived and rehearsed . Actually feel very sorry for her

 

[Mammy2021]

Just saw the pics of the wedding day. What a stunning bride and groom in fairness to them both - her dress was gorgeous and really suited her and the makeup beautiful. A very classy affair as people have said. Could surely teach the other cheap, tacky, post your daily bowel movements insta fame whores a thing about hosting an elegant wedding.
