Never liked Jessie cave, she is mildly funny (I saw one of her shows at Edinburgh aeons ago) but seems very far up her own arse these days and both she and Alfie come over like total narcissists. Totally agree with the poster who said she’s based an identity around being a mum, and also that her older kids likely get a raw deal the more she has… she’s off filming with just the smallest, or she’s doing shows/podcasts or letting her mum take charge of homeschooling them etc so she can write her novel (where was Alfie in all this??) I tried reading her novel and gave up as I didn’t like the style- it seemed quite amateur and despite the heavy subject matter I couldn’t connect with it. I think Jessie is very clever at branding herself/her family but not particularly great at any one thing whether it’s acting, writing, art, comedy, whatever… because she’s clearly upper middle class she escapes the shit given to other celebs who cash in on their “brand” (including constantly roping in their kids and partner)- Sophie Ellis bextor, Kerry Katona, etc. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but I feel she has even exploited her grief for money to some extent.
she’s codependent as it is but regardless, the fact he has just left her on her own with a newborn and gallivanted to the other side of the world, during the most fragile time in a child’s life, is unforgivable. I’d be too embarrassed to admit it if I were her. Does she honestly think this behaviour is normal?! It’s not even like he could get home relatively easily if he had to. What if it’d been critical? Or heaven forbid, the baby didn’t make it? It’s actually put me off her massively, the fact she is so blatantly tolerating such disrespect and potentially influencing fans to do the same.
I imagine his comedy appeals almost exclusively to men exactly like him who think he’s brilliant because he says things they believe they’re not allowed to, and an ever-decreasing number of ‘pick me’ girls.
