[Rayne]

Setting this up as Megsays_ got a mention on another thread and i think it’s time she got a thread of her own. I have a lot of thoughts on Meg and interested if anyone else feels the same...


• She started off as a blogger and writing about her chronic illness, I thought she was a good person trying to raise awareness back then. However things started changing when she set up her YouTube, she used her illness as a way of gaining followers, and back then the majority of her followers had chronic illnesses themselves and she would talk about her health openly and frequently. Then she started trying to be a second rate Zoella and started doing more “beauty” influencing. It was like a persona change and she tried massively to be the next zoella, and most of her followers then became the teenybopper crowd. Her desperation to get on the zoella mailing list and get her new products sent to her was palpable and it worked. That’s when I realised the whole thing was quite fake and she just wanted followers, it was kind of like watching a kids tv presenter at times. Her account was growing with all the teenybopper followers and then she completely stopped talking about her illness, and she suddenly started going to events with other influencers. It was all a bit weird as she went from bedbound to “full time blogger” but never talked about her health improvements anywhere, she completely swept her health under the carpet even though a lot of her original followers followed her for this content.


•She Moaned she had been “bedbound” for weeks and then miraculously was ok to travel to and walk round Paris for a week. I’m not saying she’s not unwell but this gives people with chronic illness a bad name. Yes activity level can fluctuate but I don’t know anyone who can go from bedbound to a full on holiday like this with lots of walking. It’s examples like this is why I think she now does a terrible job for people with ME/CFS and doesn’t help the stigma.

•She posts about numerous causes that don’t directly affect her because they’re the trendy thing to promote such as trans rights and BLM, however went years neglecting to use her platform to raise awareness of causes that do affect her such as her health problems. this just comes across as fake to me as it surely makes more sense to raise awareness for a cause that affects you daily

•Her bio makes me absolutely cringe. She’s still boasting about an award she won about five years ago. And says she’s “your online best friend” someone pass the sick bucket

• She was very reluctant for a long time to clearly mark her AD’s and would be quite crafty and just write “afflink” or do a swipeup without saying anything at all

• She does paid for AD’s for charities which I always feel is incredibly bad taste. If I donate money to charity I do not want to see it go to an influencer to do a post

• Overall she’s not the worst influencer out there. I just don’t buy her “I’m so nice and I’m such a lovely innocent wholesome person” act as I’ve seen it slip a few times over the years and she’s been quite bitchy publicly on a reply to a follower.

Please tell me I’m not alone!

I’ve been noticing more things about her that irritate me! As you’ve said, for someone who claims to be bed bound to then suddenly be up and out doesn’t seem right. I used to think Meg was a great advocate and account for chronically ill people but I’ve seen through her a bit now and my opinion has changed.

They’ve recently bought a house, great for them but it was rammed down our throats at every moment and she was suddenly well enough to go on countless viewings.

she regularly goes awol with the excuse of being poorly but I’m starting to think it’s more laziness rather than illness.

When lockdown eased in April and restaurants and bars reopened, Meg was out EVERY SINGLE DAY! I was shocked to see how much they were out and about, travelling, eating, seeing friends. For someone who is so vulnerable and chronically ill it was quite shocking, especially when she’d been ill a lot during lockdown according to her.

I’d never noticed the zoella wannabe vibes. But Zoe recently had a baby shower and someone had tagged Meg saying “look who I see” and I found this so strange, until I noticed meg’s boyfriend will was one of the barmen. I appreciate Meg would be proud but it seemed very immature, stalkerish and obsessed to be commenting ON Zoe’s photos about him being there. I appreciate Zoe is perhaps the golden girl, but come on. Meg is old enough not to be in screaming hysterics because will made some cocktails at an event

Would also love to hear more from others who’ve noticed similar behaviour or sneakiness as I feel like her mask is starting to slip.

Yesssss she was definitely in the minority of people with a chronic illness throwing caution to the wind and socialising with loads of different people as soon as lockdown finished.
Most people I know are terrified of catching it and making their chronic illness worse.

I really wanna know if megs bf was made to do the drinks at Zoe’s baby shower because meg made him to? Lmao Zoe was on the beg for businesses to do her party for free so I do wonder if meg told her he’d do it and whether he got paid or not.




Just watching her stories, she’s right about being tragic crying because she can’t travel for one more day to see her boyfriend because she’s “unwell”

Also here’s a prime example of her hiding her AD’s, she’s getting money off future boxes so therefore it’s an AD. She’s done multiple swipe ups for this with no AD tonight

This is what I have an issue with - people who need to be cautious are still being careful but Meg behaved very shockingly for someone who is supposedly so unwell at times and vulnerable.

From Zoe’s post she paid for everything so that’s something but I do wonder if like you say, he only did the drinks because Meg gave him the heads up. It’s not like they’re local to Zoe are they? So his company travelled there to do the bar for the drinks. It’s just so bloody cringey the way she was in the comments

She seems so dependent on Will, like worryingly so. If you feel unwell and can’t travel, it’s only one day? I feel like she only uploaded it for the sympathy and to keep up appearances.

You should definitely report her - I report so many people it winds me right up. At least be honest - the rules are there to protect people and it isn’t hard to follow them is it.

 

[Rayne]

Just had to come and hunt this thread down again as she’s annoying me!
Find it bad taste that in between the clips of her eye bleeping Herself, the next story she posts is about her friend who committed suicide, and then straight back to the eye bleeping herself again

Also find these captions show her true narcissistic self coming out

 

[Esme]

I totally agree about her narcissistic behaviour!! She’s been sooo poorly recently apparently but seems to perk up when the kitten came home or to just so happen catch Will bringing her flowers she loves to portray this oh so quaint and perfect life but I think she clings into him for dear life. It seems unhealthy how dependent she is on him.

I also found the suicide of a friend very offensive and in poor taste. She did a grid post and tagged will in it which seemed odd. She didn’t even seem genuine about it. If you can’t be sincere about someone’s death just don’t say anything. It felt like she only did it for engagement

You’ve hit the nail on the head about the quaint lifestyle, I can’t stand she keeps calling it a cottage when it’s basicslly a really small terraced house haha she made it she was going to be living in the cottage from the holiday. I agree about clinging on to will too, I’ve often wondered what he used to make of her room full of gifted toiletries and make up seeing as he seems to be into the environment. Meg sometimes pretends she is too but it never lasts long before she slips up doing an ASOS haul etc

I just felt posting a picture of her friend and announcing his suicide was too much. It’s one thing to do a tribute post and say your friends passed away but it’s another to announce he committed suicide to 30k people? I’m sure his family wouldn’t have wanted that, and I bet he wouldn’t have wanted his deeply private final act made so public to strangers online. I just feel it was so bad taste and insensitive to do that and it’s even worse his pic will be sandwiched between AD’s on her grid

 

[Esme]

I always go to post here and then get distracted. Mainly because Meg is so bloody boring but anyway

Couldn’t agree more about the suicide post. It is disgusting and she clearly used it as a means to gain attention, for all the wrong reasons. She didn’t need to go into the personal circumstances at all.

Ive just seen her and the boyfriend that she desperately clings onto for dear life have been gifted a trip away! What on earth has she done to deserve a gifted trip?! Nothing!! AnsokurrlyI’m sick of these crappy companies thinking gifting to bone idle “influencers” is going to make me a)want to give them MY hard earned money and b)impress anyone. It’s baffling!

I actually cringed so hard at their first dates ad. Is Will Meg’s first boyfriend? She behaves so childishly and overly giggly around him, like she can’t believe her luck (neither can I tbh) and batting her eyelashes. It gives me the ick so hard.

I could go on. As for the ridiculous posing grid post of her face she put up because they’ve got a kitten but not showing the kitten…firstly how narcissistic can you get and secondly has she never heard of adopt don’t shop? Putting money into the hands of greedy breeders who have no care or consideration for the cats they breed or the kittens health.

But then I guess i live in the real world, with consideration and care for others including animals and not pretending my life is oh so perfect in my quiant cottage with mummy and daddy dropping round to make sure I’m managing without my boyfriend for a few hours

Meg’s been annoying me this week so I’m glad you posted and gave me a reason to reply on here .
Whyyyyy has she been gifted a weekend away when she never even posts anything? She’s one of those influencers that can not post for a week and you’d be none the wiser.
The whole kitten thing is annoying me because instead of just showing it she’s doing some really dramatic reveal of it? Lmao. Didn’t stop them going away for two days did it within days of getting it, not something I would have done with a new kitten as it’s not fair on it as they get stressed away from their mum, in a new house with new owners. Clearly not as much of a cat lady as she likes to think she is.

Also for someone that went literally years avoiding all talk of her illness she isn’t half milking it now. The face on her in the second pic lmao I wanna know who she sent that to. If it was my friend posting our convo on social media for more attention I wouldn’t be happy

When isn’t she annoying she is completely forgettable and irrelevant.

Urgh I just have no words for the gifted trip away. She’s so undeserving - what REALLY pisses me off though is when they say “we’re not obliged to post” and then proceed to completely over share. I’m sure it’s a tactic companies use so they don’t seem so shady and tit to potential customers. Either way, don’t gift trips to people that don’t deserve them whether you want coverage or not.

Yes! Leaving this much loved kitten immediately when they’re not even settled in what the hell! She’s so stupid. The difference is when you adopt the people you take the cat from actually really care. She’s put money into a breeders hand that has no care or consideration for where that kitten is going.

I didn’t see that story about the message but I reckon it’s her mum? Her parents have been helping her and around a lot. Whoever it is doesn’t seem to care that she’s ill either which if it is her mum makes it even worse! My mum would always ask if I need anything or if she can help, pick up medicine/food etc. The reply makes it seem like “oh not again but I’d better be sympathetic”

She’s now posted about going on the link in her bio for the kitten reveal forcing people to her dead channel, when we all know the kitten will be on her page soon enough. She’s got no other content to post it’s just ridiculous like you say, she’s been so secretive about showing the kitten like she’s some kind of celebrity or royal family member that people are eager to see the baby or know the name

 

[Esme]

And just like that, the kitten is all over Instagram

 

[Esme]

Megsays content:
Gousto
Kitten
Boyfriend

 

[Esme]

I reported her for the constant Gousto ads that weren’t being declared…naughty Meg says got a talking to and now suddenly the past few days she’s shown takeaways and their own cooking

Don’t be crafty and think you can get away with it. She’s gaining money from the Gousto swipe up. The law is there for a reason and I for one am sick of people who think they shouldn’t have to be honest.

So now we have just the kitten on show and a glimpse of Will and his incredible home made sauces get a life Meg. She always talks as if we should all be in awe of will. Plenty of people make their own sauces and plenty of people grow their own herbs etc. Anybody would think they’re the only people ever to buy a house or do anything! Does she really have nothing else going on in her life?! And poor little Meg, left the kitten as soon as they got her for a gifted trip but now she’s home she’s suddenly crying about her going to the vet, can’t get any “work” done and then is claiming she’s a good girl for being chilled on the sofa. I didn’t realise being a kitten mum was such hard work! ‍ make it make sense!

 

[Rayne]

She’s back to posting Gousto Ad’s again! I’m going to report her too as I’ve got screenshots of her saying it’s not an affiliate link which clearly it is as I don’t think they’ve actually had to pay for a dinner since they moved in as people must be using her codes enough for her to keep getting free boxes. The meals are so basic too, it’s like veg with an egg and that type of thing, stuff you could easily buy and cook yourself so it’s clear she’s getting them all free


Did you see her story last week about how she rang Will at work and he came home to look after the cat so she could get done work done FROM HOME. I actually couldn’t believe it, like just don’t interact with the kitten for a bit and she will soon get bored and go to sleep for a couple of hours. Meg is acting like she has a baby

Narc meg is back out again today:

 

[Esme]

Oh my god! No I did not see the one about making Will go home!!!! I’ve actually had a baby and the only time I rang my husband to come home is she was 6 months old and so poorly (I actually suspect it could have been Covid but this was February last year and before we knew enough, no testing etc!). He only came home about 3pm though, and was in bed with us on his laptop. Goodness me. I said she was being ridiculous about having a kitten but that is insane. Doesn’t Will have a backbone to say for gods sake Meg get a grip?! That’s utterly pathetic. Wonder what he told his work and what they thought bet they’re used to her pathetic way of life.

I’m so glad you mentioned the Gousto and the lack of clear marking it as an affiliate. I actually did report her a few weeks back and got an email on Monday saying they’d spoken to her and Gousto about being transparent and clear about the situation. She’s instantly gone back to posting WITHOUT marking them properly again so I’m going to report her again maybe if we keep doing it she’ll end up on the repeat offenders list!!

I totally missed the narcissistic ones too about her boobs! I find her so boring and was only looking for Gousto or ridiculous kitten comments honestly cannot believe how much she loves herself! What on earth does Will see in her? She posted about having emails the other day but added something saying she was paying bills and then writing book reviews. Very busy and like you say, the only money she’s earning is Gousto credit

 

[Esme]

For a second, thought she was engaged but no, 9 years, a 2 bed terrace and a kitten. But no, just a promise ring.

I think promise rings are more suited to younger couples, couples who are separated such as at different uni’s but promising to stay faithful, those with a family who don’t have the money for an engagement ring/a wedding just yet, a couple that is focused on saving for a house. 9 years is a long time and I’m sure she was actually expecting an engagement. Not everyone wants to get married but I thought promise rings were considered a step towards marriage without the official engagement

 

[Rayne]

I do sometimes wonder what Will makes of her being an influencer as he just seems the complete opposite to that lifestyle (sure he likes when she gets a free weekend away though!)
I always remember when they went travelling and they did a beach clean up and I was just like I don’t get this couple- Will seems to be into the environment but his GF is contributing to all this plastic tat in the oceans with all the gross volume of stuff she would get sent. It’s in one her vlogs- the spare room was literally full of gifted toiletries etc. Honestly she was giving brogan a run for her money but she did eventually sort them out and finally give some away and donate some at least. She still had too much though and had like 20 lipsticks all the same colour

You know when you report people do they still get 28 days from the ASA until they have to start declaring? Because I reported someone ages ago twice and they said they had 28 days to implement the rules after contacting them so I wouldn’t be surprised if after 28 days she suddenly starts marking Gousto as an AD to try and be sneaky as long as possible

Talking of her birthday this REALLY annoyed me - she said they booked a weekend away but Will was ill so they couldn’t go as they were isolating while he waited for his coronavirus test result. So why then did she let 2 friends into her house to give her this hamper that they could have literally dropped off at her doorstep? Really odd, I’d never go in someone’s house if they were unwell and suspected it was coronavirus!!! Meg the next day was then moaning she was ill so whatever Will has was contagious

 

[Esme]

See now you mention more things about them being completely mismatched it just compounds my thinking. I wonder if they’re one of those couples who’ve just got stuck together? They’re too afraid to break up because it’s been so long? It used to shock me in lockdown when Will was doing deliveries and she’d just go and sit in the restaurant all evening while he was in and out so she “got out”. It’s not normal.

Wow I can’t believe how much she had. I feel like her life is quite empty. She doesn’t really have much going on and perhaps her doing this “job” makes her feel like she has a purpose? Much like brogan too but I do think the influencer world is drying up particularly with the affects of Covid which are going to be felt for a very long time and we’re very much still in. Seeing brands gift items, especially lots of items, massively puts me off and I don’t believe any ads I see and I think some brands have realised that now. I can honestly say in 5 years I can’t see this kind of going on. Social media changes and evolves so fast and I think it’s so saturated.

I didn’t know about the 28 day rule, it didn’t mention it in my email and I’ll continue to report her because she’s still not declaring it properly. But I see so many Gousto ads that don’t bother, it’s not difficult to just write an extra word or two. I really don’t know why people can’t just do such a simple thing

I did think the hamper delivery was odd but I tend to skip most of her content because she’s so bloody boring I think they’re all idiots. It’s easy to see why Covid rates are increasing when people are behaving like there’s nothing to worry about. You would think precious Meg of all people would be more careful but we saw how she behaved when lockdown ended so I don’t think she’s ever taken it seriously at all. I was shocked though when she went out to buy the same food from the hamper and was shocked at the prices. And even more shocked when she recorded herself unpacking it for Will. She behaves like a child and is so immature. I just can’t get my head around the fact people live like this and that other people think it’s normal?!

She’s been even more unbearable with Will at home. I think she’s now said he’s got the flu and she’s been posting about the food they’ve had together “lunchies” and a thousand things of the kitten a day. She just has so little in her life. Her stories last night were saying they can’t open the front door because Millie will run out? Like what now. So they can’t give out treats to any trick or treaters WHAT A DILEMMA!!!

She’s put a vlog up of their gifted stay - do you watch her? I haven’t watched hers videos since she announced she was off travelling with her then secret boyfriend (wasn’t he introduced in the travelling video?). She was boring then and she’s boring now

 

[Esme]

Right, let’s just discuss something. Earlier last week Meg did stories about going to the shop to get some supplies for Will that he specifically wanted. She then showed herself sat on a bench with the bag of food, claiming she was exhausted and this was “chronic illness life” and she just can’t do much at all.

Cut to this weekend. We are shown stories from Friday night where she went out to celebrate her birthday. Not just for an evening meal, but a meal followed by drinks and her not going to bed until 7am. So is she suddenly absolutely fine when it suits her? It makes such a mockery of people who actually do suffer with chronic illnesses and wouldn’t dream of doing that because their body doesn’t allow it. I don’t see how she expects people to keep falling for her lies. She just needs to get into the real world.

I’m still shocked how much of a baby she behaves sometimes. It’s not great her purse got stolen, but why on earth would you leave such precious items like gift cards and your vaccine card in there knowing you won’t need them on a night out? It seems so reckless to me but maybe I’ve always been careful about which items I take out of the house. I don’t know why she had to cry to Will about calling an Uber. I’m sure her friends would have helped book one or book her a taxi? She must lean so heavily on him, I wonder how he feels. If my partner was poorly and it the middle of the morning, I’d be getting the friends I’d been out with to help me not bothering someone who will only be awake and worried. Also how very narsisstic to be loving herself so much when she got home.

And just as side note she’s shared a few Gousto meals the last days but without her swipe up not sure she can afford to be without the credit that keeps them fed surely

 

[Esme]

And while this thread is on hand, can we just talk about the absolute absurd ness of the situation she made about not being able to open their front door because of the kitten? Why not just hold her? Or leave her sat with Will? I have two indoor cats so really can’t understand her comments!

And I forgot this screenshot too about her being pickpocketed which is why I talked about items that she probably shouldn’t have taken out.
