Kylie Flavell

[Spirit of place]

Oh please, poor little Kylie, lunching with a marquis(IG stories)....just another friend of Guido's. I don't believe for a second she would ever date, let alone marry, a council estate dweller or any ACTUAL 9-5er (Guido has his title (conte/count) and property and all). Am I spreading lies?

Exactly. Brace yourselves to see unending aristo stories from now on.

Anyway HAPPY EASTER TO ALL HER TATTLERS !

Having just watched the lasted video I find it very strange, that the wedding is being so rushed, why not wait until September when things have opened up more and a lot of the work on the properties has been completed, why would you want to get married when things are only half completed, I think she wanted a Spring wedding like others have said so she has then secured Guido and his properties, bet she can't believe her luck.

Because it’s a fake wedding; part of The Kylie Show. No actual legal wedding, hours of “wedding” videos for adoring fans and hopeful men can still fantasize about winning her over someday, securing her “patrons”.

Thanks! @Appleblossom. Really interesting comment indeed. Also worded so respectfully, I do wonder if it will be deleted. Kylie might find herself backed into a corner now.

 

[Tdrinker]

Sorry slight diversion, but I have just seen it discussed earlier that she said she couldn't afford health insurance (allegedly) for several years! What ?!

I don't know the details of her situation here so I may be mistaken, but who on earth moves to another country, and prioritises living in central apartments alone over essential things like health insurance ?! Furthermore, what message is this sending to her younger audience looking for info on moving abroad or just life advice in general ?!

I haven't watched the video again, I don't really have the patience to, but I hope that she explains that this was a foolish move, or I don't think she should have mentioned it at all, so her younger viewers don't get the same idea. It may not be glamorous but health insurance and an emergency fund is vital if you are living in a foreign country and are young, living alone with no family around you

If she was young I would be a little more understanding because we all make mistakes, and learning to manage your finances isn't always easy, but this lady is in her late thirties and moved to Italy in her late twenties didn't she?!

 

[Spirit of place]

And now I've got started -her whole love affair with Italy Is for 'its culture & history bla bla' BUT have you ever, ever heard her say anything at all about the history or art or the various neighbourhoods of Rome or Florence, or any of the buildings or the people? No interest whatsoever, not even a word about the Medicis en passant. Her only passions are films plus podcasts on mindfulness & cooking, other than herself of course.

 

[Denise0211]

I'm slightly concerned that K. might complain to her subs. that the posters "haters" on this site are being dreadful and that they will come here and start a virtual war/fight. I have never contributed to anything like this before, and tbh, I don't think that the remarks are particularly vicious just a group of people who originally liked her work but are bemused by inconsistencies.

I had braced for that weeks ago when she first started comment bombing her loyal subs (likely patrons) about a "horrible group online" she found. Also after her video bit about us....but nobody came except our new members who were happy to find an outlet for their doubts!

 

[Missy sissy]

The article was written 13 years ago, when she was 16 (according to her)... wow she must have been really matured for her age

 

[Antonio]

For those that have crossed paths with, what age do you think/know she is?
Some of us think she is older than she states because her timeline if off. @Alessandro said above ^^^^ that she had been Italy for 15+ years.

Kylie is definitely quite a bit older than she claims! She certainly looks it in real life without all of the filters she adds for shooting herself in her videos. Probably why she won’t allow anyone else to film her. She is closer to 40 than 30. One of my friends that knows her thinks she is more like 45.

But baking under the Australian sun for years to keep her perma-tan has also burnt her to a crisp and may have prematurely aged her skin, making her look older than she is. Yet the timeline of where she has been from being a self-proclaimed ‘award-winning’ editor in Australia for the casino (she has never worked at a credible national newspaper or magazine) to living in Japan and Barcelona and then kicking around Italy for years means there is no way she can be the 29 she says she is...

She deleted my comment about Cafe Gigli after I noted that it was very expensive. I take it she has some deal with the owner to promote them, so my comment was inconvenient.

She’s definitely not a travel guide of any sort. Lately she veers off into Oprah territory, giving love and life advice. Then there’s home reno, home decor, language lessons, arts & crafts, cooking, fashion, wedding planning, real estate, Italian wife.

This is the Kylie Show and no one is more impressed with her than she is.

You have as much chance at telling her what you think as you have yelling at the TV !

This is something, that has been bothering me. The inconsistency of it all regarding the topics. I mean, you can be interested in more than one thing, but (in my humble opinion) you should be specialized at something in order to gain more views. Am I watching you for travel content, fashion content, life in Italy, cooking content...? In the beginning I thought it was about traveling (outside and inside of Italy), that is why I started to follow her. But then it started to turn to this housewife show and I started to lose my interest.

Today is Kylie Day; Friday. We get to hear part 2 of her monologue into the camera about how she and Guido found love; or, at least, a business opportunity.

Let’s face it, Kylie doesn’t do this for us, it’s for those who fawn over her fantasy and misrepresentation. We don’t even get to comment, so as not to break the spell she weaves. We’re relegated to the quiet room where she can censor any untoward expressions and attitudes and she is free to hold the spotlight solely on herself.

Well, I’ve been in lockdown for a year and a half in Italy, with my new partner I met online and we’ve been together 24/7/365 through this time, during the pandemic and just prior when we met in person.

I get to experience Italy every day, for better and for worse and there is a lot of worse living here ! The best is being together, having found love.

Kylie is a sideshow who cynically exploits dreams, but also entertainment for those who can see what comedy she unwittingly unleashes.

Reality remains the best revelation of wonder and joy; but it takes some integrity and determination to discover and to experience.

Enjoy the show !

 

[Appleblossom]

Yes @Tdrinker. She is such a bitch. This is the REAL Kylie Jayne. The comment was more than respectful and her reply to Kylie was too. If it were me I'd have told her to eff off back to her dreamland estate while many were locked in tiny apartments, many not working, while all her bills were paid by her lover of the year.

Also I highly doubt "so many Italians" have written her from hospital during covid, since if you were in hospital one was likely intubated and in poor condition. Also , based on comments/engagement I would say less than 10% of her viewers are Italian anyway. What is with her delusions of grandeur, btw? Sorry for the multiple posts but she is just so incredibly phoney.

This comment has left me speechless!
It proves what @Alessandro and @Antonio have said about her personality in real life.
She was very quick to lash out, when she would have had time to pen and word a more reserved even comment.
Imagine how vicious she could be in real life.
It also shows how disconnected she is from Italy and the life of Italians during this pandemic.

 

[Alessandro]

Surely family would send her money directly, if only to avoid the various fees levied along the way, via Patreon, Paypal, exchange rates etc.

If I were her I wouldn't bother cracking poor, it can only ever backfire, unless you intend to permanently plead and play deserving. Why not be upfront and state that that the channel is your work and you like to be paid for supplying fans with something they enjoy. Rolling Stones fans have not tired of laying out their hard-earned to see multi-millionaires Mick and mates strut and shimmy!

Do we hear Mick saying "buy a ticket to Wembley 2023, it will help keep me in lip salve and manor houses".

Lets compare apples with apples!Unlike the Rolling Stones who create exhilarating music built on a long artistic ouevre, Kylie is making vlogs based on the fake life and times of a narcissist living in Italy

 

[Denise0211]

Well, given how quickly they went from dating to living together to marriage I guess causing a man to break up with his gf after one dinner is par for the course with them lol. I just found the storytelling poor overall. I didn't like the combo of Kylie sitying and dragging out the beginning sat in what looked like the Masterpiece Theatre set, cutting to Guido having to respond while they were driving. It was hard to follow. So I still don't understand if the lunch and walk with friends was their very next date?

 

[Denise0211]

Not shocking she deleted a post. She has deleted ALL posts criticizing her, even benign ones. She is unbearable to me. For those who have followed her for a while, we see a woman-child who "quit her career" at 20 (obvs funded by her family) to move to Italy, she has documented several stereotypical relationships, here there amd everywhere, o e inc physical abuse (her crap video about love, i forget which, where the bimbo romanticizes being hit, hitting back, torn off clothes and "making love" by the side of the road). Now she has found dumb Guido to fund her lifestyle. She was just "madly in love" with some rich dude from Monte Carlo. Fake AF, I cannot stand her.

 

[AnnaKarenina]

Good point Denise.
A bit like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman, she'll be whoever they want her to be or whoever will further her agenda.

A question, did see have a romantic relationship with Patrick, the guy she did the TV show with and owner of Hello Fresh?

Fair play to Brian, I hope he is happy! I mean that because I did like him.

Yes, I thought Brian seemed authentic. The films with Brian were very happy and fun.

 

[PlinyinTorquay]

I'd not seen that video - and now I can't unsee it. She calls the guy on the phone Gareth. It was just a hook-up, does she expect us to believe she left him at 3am then he came out to her hotel for breakfast?

I think she imagines she's the heroine in the movie 'Before Sunrise', the first of the Richard Linklater trilogy, I know she loves this film. She mentions it
in the video she made about love and loss earlier this year.

 

[emm]

All true. But personally I wouldn't be comfortable depending on the whims of 800+ strangers for an income.

neither but I wouldn't be comfortable doing most of what she does

 

[Alessandro]

Oh God I am surprised she didn't quote Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona at one point does anyone else think this piece of writing is quite immature ? She was 25 here (not 16 ) I am 1-2 years older than her here (although I'm an accountant so 100% not qualified to judge journalism) but I can't imagine writing something like this, it sounds like a teenager on their gap year to me, I just find it quite gimmicky for a self proclaimed award winning journalist e.g. of course there is a man that whisks her away and some cliche references to an old Signora (sorry not sure why the Spanish equivalent is called ), it just seems all very eye-rollingly Eat, pray, Love to me, like I find much of her content.
I also don't understand lying about never drinking alcohol I mean it's not hard to find these articles, and info about her it's just one Google search away.. I don't think anybody would judge her for having drunk alcohol in the past, so why lie ?

Hi @Tdrinker I thought it was really badly written and that she came out of it seeming pretty uncouth and ignorant...she was never published again in that newspaper. Her descriptions were so over the top and unlike the house style (I used to read it when I was studying in Australia). She’s a really bad writer.

Oh from when she has been with Guido she had totally put on a proper Florentine accent. I'm not sure whether to mock or compliment her lol.

Oh definitely mock @Denise0211 . To us she doesn’t sound Florentine at all (and not all Italians agree it is the best/top, especially those not from Tuscany!) but the try-hard accent seems a peculiar melange of influences like her English...

 

[emm]

Wow. That is SO BAD.

@Antonio @Alessandro Was she trying to imitate Baby K in the intro??! Wtf?

I cannot imagine her doing this for Guido that is for sure
