Thank-you
@emm for taking the time to establish the new thread
Below I’ve copied and pasted our various summations from last time that add up to a lot!
Recap on KyLie:
- sexualising her vlogs to sell her channel, herself and ultimately the holiday apartments
- keeping an narcissistic focus on herself in every video or vlog she posts
- hypocritical advice to followers about her life meanwhile she is doing the opposite of what she says
- Judgemental attitude about many things (drinking alcohol, one night stands, people that don’t like old fashioned things from the past) she seems to want to live as a 1950s housewife
- playing on the vulnerabilities of some of her more naive followers
- accepting advice on not getting the covid vaccine on the advice of her followers
- using Patreon money to buy YouTube video views, comments, IG followers, likes and comments to create a false impression she is a lot more popular than she is and using this to sell herself to other businesses
- rushed non official wedding because of missing a document – some have speculated that she needs proof of divorce from Australia and that they are rushing for the “religious but not official” ceremony as she may be pregnant. The engagement was announced by possibly the most cringe video an adult has posted on youtube.
- lying about her age which became apparent when the timeline of her moving to Italy would have put her age at about 13 rather than being an adult
- A few people on the thread have had dealings with her in real life and her “nice person” persona is just that, a persona, it is noticeable that she focuses on relationships with men she can flirt with rather than women, she seems to have no female friends
- presenting a consistently false and Disneyfied view of Italy especially under Covid
- encouraging unhealthy parasocial relationships with her followers by suggesting they give her gifts and write to her personally leading to potentially dangerous obsessions and disappointments when she doesn’t/can’t live up to what she has promised.
- aggressive/bullying response to any commentators that question her or her vlogs
- deleting any comments that don’t glorify how wonderful she is in every aspect or that suggest different ideas to hers or that point out issues with her videos
- creating a fake “cult” following that is only filled with an entirely one-sided sycophantic or fawning commentariat
- Claiming having little or no money so begging her Patreons to keep paying, meanwhile she is living a luxurious life that most Italians couldn’t dream of right now
- She’s the worst kind of hypocrite, berating those who don’t make the effort to learn about the culture, while she misrepresents the same culture she purports to love and exploits the fantasies and ignorance of those who don’t know enough to realize she is lying.
- She seems to be a narcissist, changing her colours to suit for the purpose of exploitation, whether it be for donations, patrons, gifts, rents, whatever. It’s all about her, never about anyone else.
- She carries with her the worst of millennial culture of grievance, entitlement, poor me ism, privilege, while pleading poverty, playing up the child into adulthood, acting like it doesn’t matter.
- She does injustice to the struggles of real Italians and lovers of this country who see and live the difficulties and absurdities every day, but still persist with the possibilities of being here.
- She creates this lie without regard to the consequences for those who might follow her advice, whether arriving in this country thinking you have to speak perfect Italian to order a coffee, that Italians are a polite people in the english sense, taking on a restaurant/event space during lockdown and shutdown, sitting out in the sun for dinner during a scorching summer.
- For anyone who knows and loves Italy and juxtaposes her self serving fantasies with their own both difficult and hard won joyous experiences, it is an insult.
- The entertainment is from watching someone make a fool of themselves while they think they are making a fool of you.
- Thank goodness for this forum to find other like minded individuals and for the opportunity to express this and to share.
- For the benefit of any newcomers - the many contributors to the Tattle Life Kylie Flavell threads were originally followers, subscribers, fans, admirers or patrons.
- Many of us had become frustrated, annoyed, disappointed, disillusioned or disenchanted after being deleted, ignored or flamed when commenting or questioning aspects of Kylie's activities.
- Others asked themselves why they were contributing financially to a woman who is engaged to - and, for the past year, has been living with - a man whose family's property holdings are substantial. (Before meeting Guido Kylie would plead poverty, saying, for example, that she could not pay rent or afford a coffee).
