I suspect the conversation started with "Hi! It's successful Auntie Liz! I was thinking of coming to Australia for a few weeks... is it OK if I stay at yours? I'm vegan, will need my own bathroom, drink like a fish and called your Mum a slag. I'll be arriving in March. Hello...? Hello...?"If any of this shite is true, the realisation that she has spent thousands of pounds on all the wrong things, with warped values worshipping things over people, and has ended up in the place she is in at her age, with no significant relationships in her life, apart from defecating dogs, is enough to give anyone anxiety. Referring to your relatives as leeches in print is terrible. Even if she thinks that, why write it.
“I’ve never taken medication before as I’ve always been too frightened it would change me”And here it is! You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh! No mental health professional has ever said the stuff she says she said: "cheer up, look on the bright side". Nah.
Summary: "I live in a shithole and am self-medicating on drink and anti-depressants."
imagine her having a real self reflection episode..not the usual crap of I've realised I'm too nice/generous/loving/caring shite, the fact that she once aspired to be more Meghan Markle, as if it were possible to become more narcissistic, rude, demanding and greedy with a totally overblown perception of what she feels she's worth, than she is now, she'd give moaning meg a run for her money.“I’ve never taken medication before as I’ve always been too frightened it would change me”
She lies, and remember she had an accountant (who she partly blamed) when she was made bankrupt, apparently because when she "lost" her job, her income went down, not that it did, she was still getting paid obscene amounts of money for the crappy dreary, in fact considering that she has continually written for the DM or MoS, I'm not exactly sure what job she "lost".but 'I don't have a pension' really jumped out at me. So Jones earned £500,000 every year for a long time but her accountant didn't suggest pension provision? It's tax efficient so it would be very surprising if that wasn't mentioned.
Advertising revenue fell through the floor because the mag went to the dogs. As I recall she was at the helm for all of 14 issues. At various times she has claimed she was sacked for championing plus sized models, for exposing the contents of fashion goody bags and for claiming the Royal Family are lizard people*.Apologies if this has been answered before, can anyone refresh my aged memory as to why marie claire sacker her?

#poor liz’s rental is the pits cos her dogs have constant shits
The job was clearly beyond her. She claimed she was sacked for ‘the noble reasons’ you mention but I also suspect she was under investigation for bullying?Advertising revenue fell through the floor because the mag went to the dogs.

*I may be mistaken about this one.
The pension thing is crazy. I can't believe she's gone this long without an accountant or anyone telling her she needs to pay into one and its tax efficient. Although to be fair it's something my first shitty accountant forgot to tell me, and it's something I now tell all the newbie freelancers that I mentor.I know this seems trivial in that mountain of woe and pity dressed up as an article....but 'I don't have a pension' really jumped out at me.

I really have no idea why this drivel is still published. Its just a long list of complaints and problems - all of her own making. It's dull and boring now, and when people are struggling between heating and eating why should the rest of us care about this stupid bitch who has blown MILLIONS of pounds in her lifetime on chappy clothes and so called beauty treatments? It's insulting to those of us who worked hard on much smaller wages but still managed to save enough for a pension.
JONES ITS ALL YOUR OWN FAULT AND NO ONE ELSE GIVES A SHIT
Allegedly she was like a rabbit in headlights, terrified of leaving her actual office and blaming her failings on absolutely everybody but herself. Hence her wide network of friends in an industry she's 'worked' in for 40 years...The job was clearly beyond her. She claimed she was sacked for ‘the noble reasons’ you mention but I also suspect she was under investigation for bullying?
There’s been too many mentions of how younger and pregnant women, folk with kids etc were lazy and didn’t want to work hard whilst she was editor. She’d be a bloody demon to work for.
Maybe they had signed NDA’s as part of their contract but I suspect she got off lightly on a bullying charge.
Even with my own meagre earnings over the years I managed to pay into a pension fund!I know this seems trivial in that mountain of woe and pity dressed up as an article....but 'I don't have a pension' really jumped out at me.
