Agreed. It's like, to heavily paraphrase that one line in 'Showgirls': There's always someone younger and hungrier waiting in the wings. I think people have tired of the whole 'thin white girl preaching body positivity' shtick and her engagement can't be as good as it was but what else can she do?
It's like she wants to do that 'I don't care about sponsored content, it's so cringe' bit to seem relatable but obviously she does care because money. Like everything else she does, it's all performative.
Yes you've summed up what I thought RE the podcast perfectly!! Thank you
I'd like to know that too haha
She makes shit loads, she's just bought a house and been on a lavish trip away
Basically there was a WhatsApp group for the local area (up north) and there was a LOT of bullying in it. Calling people out over very small things, openly saying in the group they didn’t like me, didn’t think I should be part of it, and also going as far as to make an Instagram and reposting my photos with horrible captions. I told Lucy and she basically said ‘well you must have done something to upset them, just apologise to them or grow up’ like okay I get she doesn’t own that subset of group, but to openly just say ‘yeah I accept stuff like that’ is so wrong.What happened?
Anyone else remember the one when a girl asked how to wear white socks with trainers? Not like looking for style tips, just genuinely had no idea
This pissed me off no end and I think I unfollowed her not too long after this along with several other influencers who buggared off to Dubai later in the year.
Totally agree to all of the above - it’s a really creepy advert and I don’t get why they don’t even speak?!?
I love that she says she hates diet culture but the last few years in the first week of January exploits and benefits from it by releasing an advert saying ‘fuck New Years resolution diet culture, buy my exercise and recipe app - it is totally anti diet culture’
the app itself might not promote diet culture but you’re still profiting off it by releasing new versions and/or heavily advertising and discounting at this time of year, don’t pretend that you don’t know exactly what you’re doing and who you’re specifically targeting??
Like it’s fine, it’s a marketing decision and can be justified by saying you’re trying to reach those customers at this time of year when people are more likely to be thinking about exercise thanks to diet culture, but it just feels odd to not acknowledge the slightly ironic timing of these releases. Idk if I explained that well
Lool I am on the FB group too, some people are a real hoot over there. Remember TWgateIt all kicked off yesterday on her Facebook group. She has been asking for volunteers to help manage her Facebook group in return for a free subscription to the app and people are saying she should pay for their labour
Yep. Agreed. And I used to worship at the Lucy altar… Just seen she’s off to Glasto now after what looked like a separate getaway only days earlier: really living the “influencer” life now isn’t she, not even slightly relatable.
