Indeed - she should not have kept saying she was not seeing her mum if she was. It can only have been to gain sympthy otherwise why not simply say nothing?I think she was seeing her mum, she said at a distance, but I suspect she did see her. And she did not produce a vlog for a couple of weeks over Christmas and NY, if she did film stuff you would have seen she wasn’t in London, so that was an indication she was not cooped up in her London flat.
To be honest I don’t blame her seeing her mum. Her mum is in her 90s, who knows how long she has to live, whether this was her last Xmas, she was getting regular tests, and between them they would have weighed up the risks. From the amount of flouting that went on, including that weasel Hancock, I don’t blame her for that.
She shouldn’t fib about it on air if that is the case.
The arrogance of lying about it is the issue, much like Hancock's hypocrisy. Her listeners and her "beloved" viewers who are members of her "community" were often sympathising about her not seeing her mum, it is so insulting to her followers, many of them seemed quite genuinely concerned, probably too trusting or naive to see the inconsistencies in her various stories.
