Jess Redden

Honestly I find the extreme perfectionist tendencies she has quite uncomfortable to watch. Is she capable of eating a piece of cake without doing a punishing 6am workout? Can she go a day without controlling herself with meditations and mindfulness and setting goals in her “wellness” journal? I’m all for self improvement and self development, but so much of this stuff is on the other side of self acceptance and self care and down the rabbit hole of “toxic wellness” that is designed to make everyone feel sh1t about themselves, where no one is “good enough” unless they’re doing a laundry list of approved things at the arsecrack of dawn and sharing it via instagram for external validation.

These types of tendencies show up in people with eating issues too. She doesn’t look healthy atm IMO.

Ah she definitely has issues. Everything is analysed and written down etc. She had a tough week..... most of us would chill out Friday night with the TV and a glass of something and treats.

I imagine the fact the wedding will need to finish at midnight is a massive worry...also thattl the government may drop numbers back in terms of attendance. I would hate ro be getting married at the min very stressful ...

I find it so odd Jess gets paid so much for sponsored posts when her posts get about 30 comments or less. The likes are limited because they're so low. This whole influencer job thing is so bizarre, the companies seem to only look at the follower number and not how much people actually like or comment on their normal posts.

All the companies look at is follower count and interaction and I'd imagine she gets huge interaction via DM asking health/pharmacy advice
The more followers the more people will see the ad and that's the most important thing to these companies

She literally is advertising supplements and saying you don't need supplements if you are eating properly

Wow I’m shocked at her size in her try on stories today. I’m naturally slight in frame and a uk size six but nowhere near as small as Jess. She needs to step away from social media and focus on her health

Came on to say the same- she is painfully painfully thin in those try ons- clearly struggling with her eating disorder. Wonder will she mention it when she did before?

 

[Heygooooyyyyzzzzz]

It’s awful to see. It’s prob the stress of the wedding with all the COVID stuff and her dad not being there. Poor girl hope she gets the help she needs

 

[Snowjoke]

I feel for Jess because she obviously needs help so much the try on with the jeans is so concerning

I was going to say the same! I have a friend who is a blogger and a size six. She looks slim but healthy in her photos, bearing in mind the camera 'adds ten pounds'. Jess is half her size.

Came here after seeing those stories. She’s frightfully thin her legs are so tiny. She really needs to take a step back from social media and focus on recovery. Perhaps she’s not ready for that long journey yet sadly.

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…

You are right @Goss_Goddess

 

[testingonetwothreefoiur]

Yeah she looks horrifying at the moment. Skin and bone, totally emaciated. If you look at photos of her years ago, she looks like a normal sized healthy woman so this is some serious restriction and over exercising. Her images recently would be serious triggering to anyone suffering or trying to recover from an ED, I’d be amazed if people in her life weren’t really worried about her.

What a pleasant person you are. You might not like the girl or agree with what she does but it takes a certain kind of person not to have empathy.

 

[irishgirlo]

Anorexia sufferers tend to seek out praise for how slim they appear - I would imagine Jess is the same, so comments here or otherwise would probably fall on deaf ears.

Poor girl, I hope her family and partner are trying to help her as best they can.

Genuine question but wheres her empathy? She has an ED or anxiety disorder or both. And has the brass neck to promote wellness and recepies whilst looking like she does to literally convince people to do as she does and they will look like her. Pimping supplements and skin care that she would not need if she wasn't restricting. If she was just living her life of course she would deserve empathy, but she has chosen to utilise her platform from being rob Kearneys missus to gain money off people. She is an almost qualified pharmacist which is another toxic layer to her influence. She doesn't have my empathy, the people impacted by what she is doing do

 

[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.

 

[Indiepop]

A lot of assumptions about her being made. We can only go on what she herself has said she struggles with and perhaps she’s not able to talk about anymore of it.
