Hi, long time ellaby tattle life lurker over here
. I’ve read through every single post and learnt so much more about Megan. I’m almost apprehensive to say anything positive about Megan as I know I’ll be accused of being Faye or her mum lol but..
Here are my thoughts:
• I’ve never really been a fan of what she wears, I actually wouldn’t be seen dead in half of it, but I’ve always been a fan of her content creation. It’s always been really inspiring to me personally. I remember when she did an AD with some lighting company where she could control the colours and mood from an app on her phone and I’d seen other bloggers / vloggers have the same gig, but no one did it like Megan. It seemed her videos and posts were always thought out and there was a genuine essence about them! I didn’t even mind when she did ADs as I felt I really trusted her.
• I honestly do ‘miss her’ omg sorry so cringe lolll. But I do! Her ADs are way less thoughtless now, and I think that’s probably down to her only being on insta (and her blog) now. So it’s hard to know how much she uses something because we aren’t involved in her life half as much. There is a real feeling of disconnect and I feel like a lot of us miss that greater insight. But when I say I miss her, I miss the vlogs really. It was like catching up with a best friend every week. I don’t even mean I miss the ‘old Megan’ (well I’ll always miss her) but I feel like I’m missing out on the Megan that is now.
• She used to do some really wonderful things for her family and friends and I was always inspired by this. I was inspired to be more thoughtful. Going back to the whole ‘miss her’ (cringyyyyy
) thing, I miss seeing how she makes everyone around her feel special, what traditions they’ve continued / started, and what thoughtfulness has always been thrown her way too! The artwork George used to give her was really cool and I miss seeing that type of content.
• I feel I can’t really be annoyed at her for making the decision to withdraw from it all. Why shouldn’t she? She’s continued to make money and has shielded herself from hate (not that many of us even saw the hate). I feel I don’t have a right to be annoyed but I actually still am! I’d love her to still be present, making videos, let us in a bit more. The fact she’s withdrawn has made me sooo much more interested. Usually I don’t really care if an influencer withdraws, to be honest, I don’t normally even notice. I’m confused at myself for even being annoyed about it. Like, why do I actually even care?
I haven’t covered my thoughts on her extravagant designer wardrobe, her lack of comments on BLM, allegations about George as I feel this has been covered a lot already and I don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said. It’s gross. But I just wondered if anyone else out there feels the same way I do? Has everyone completely gone off her or is there anyone else in the same boat as me?
