Now she's a feminist?! So she hates Irish women, she's down on men...give me strength. There's nothing inspiring about your account if you are only posting other people's opinions on female relationships and empowerment and the odd rant on "witches" and "bullying". What a boring dose she is.

How does she think she's in any way original or an influencer? All she does is post other people's TikTok content!

the goodest boy....that is what she wrote over yet another tik tok shared to her story. Im no grammer police but seriously if you have decided your job is selling us tit on social media learn how to use the english language correctly. This one wrecks my head. I DM'd her a polite and normal messsage relating to a story-she never responded and when I pulled her on this she was so unbelievably rude I reported her straightaway. She is an absolute witch as far as I am concerned with zero interesting content. I honestly think the only reason she gets any attention is because she spoke out about how all us irish girls are so nasty. I think it was all planned and she wanted to be able to jump on the bullying/troll bandwagon

Yep, I said the same on here that her, Grace and Jen must have touched base and planned it.

Hi 👋 I normally hangout on the LLL page but came across this influencer recently and thought I would share my perspective. Let me state the obvious first, bullying in our society is a serious a problem, and I would be a huge advocate for Cocos Law.

I have to say I found Michelle’s content on this very superficial. Her sweeping generalisation of Irish women was an uninformed and divisive in my opinion. I believe we all define success differently – for me it might be contentment, for someone else it might be wealth. Nothing wrong with either. But to state that Irish woman don’t like to see others succeed out of jealousy and begrudgery is not at all true.

I work in global company and a lucky to have the opportunity to work across many cultures. I believe culturally Irish people are less impressed by stature and material wealth. And I think that’s one of the reasons other cultures find us charming and personable. People are “judged” a little differently here. Most people are not impressed by how much you earn, what bag you wear, how you look or how many followers you have.

I think in Ireland you are expected to be a little bit of everything – strong but gentle, grateful but want more, humble but confident, generous but not extravagant. And I love that about our culture, I think it keeps us real and grounded and I want my children to grow up in a society where they need to prove their worth by how they behave in every situation and not one particular definition of success. So the jealous argument is far too simplistic.

Social media attracts people with egotistical personality traits, and I don’t say this in a derogatory sense. But you have to be somewhat egotistical to be comfortable selling yourself in public like they do. Not all of course, but I think it has fast become a feeding ground for narcissists and is becoming more and more saturated with this type of personality.

In real life Irish culture is accepting of and shaped by calling out something as BS – so when family and friends speak in boastful ways we tend to bring people back down to reality and remind them they the need to be a little bit of everything as above.

One problem with social media is that there is a grey area around who is a friend and who is an acquaintances. Influencers sell themselves as your friend, but the reality is, they are not. And when people feel familiar enough with them to challenge them in whatever way they see as normal or acceptable then this flaw of the platform becomes apparent. The average narcissist does not want to hear criticism and tends to take it personally. And I understand this, it threatens their definition of success in a very public way.

If we view influencers as a business acquaintance and what happens in real life is when a business does something we want to call out – we email customer services, post on google reviews, trip advisor, Glassdoor, Revoo, etc but there is nothing in this customer services / redress space for influencers so I think tattle has filled this void.

The reason I believe there is more hate around these days is because the social media platforms that are a huge part of our society don’t really align with some aspects of our culture. There doesn’t seem to be a voice for people who want to challenge the content of influencers. Not hate, but feedback the will help keep the influencer scene honest, something that is in everyone’s interest.

Looking at it from my own point of view, I see how social media is changing people and I really don’t like it. I don’t accept the ‘jog on’ solution that influencers have offered. I found tattle and was relieved that there was others like me who see the problems with this scene. I am not a troll, I am not a bully, I don’t spread hate. I am not masked, just a little shy and private but still want to have a voice. I am happy with my lot, so not jealous. Just here to do my bit to create a better society for my kids.

Tattle is not the problem or neither is our Irish culture, one side not having a voice is the real problem. Blaming tattle and irish culture is irresponsible and just pushed the 2 sides further into their own corners and is only going to make the bullying problem worse. There are 2 valid arguments to this debate and if influencers really want to address bullying the only way forward is to acknowledge both sides so that tattle and Insta supporters can work at resolving the bullying problem together.

I stumbled upon this girl a couple of months ago when she appointed herself chief online defender of FBG. Since then I've found her overly sycophantic to the elite club of Irish Influencers that she is vying to align with. I've found her overly derogatory to the mere insta mortals who dare question the aforementioned chosen ones.

Tonight I lost my dinner when I read her saccharine sweet platitude to Dom Nugent (who by the way did look sensational in her outfit) and I quote " abso-bleepin-Looooootly sis, SlaaaaY and make every boy bow down" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Where would one even start with that cringsfest the second hand embarrassment is palpable.

What I see is a high faultin influencer who came back from Aus with a thesaurus of cringey teenage expressions, expecting the Irish public to clamour over to follower her for her "vast worldly experience". She turned nasty when noone gave a tit. I can't quite decide if her nauseating comments to Grace, Dom and their ilk is a blatant attempt for self promotion or if she's genuinely falling over herself to be the country cousin of their girl gang. Either way its embarrassing.

As others have said, Irish culture is such that we are unimpressed by people with notions who believe themselves more sophisticated than others, simply because they lived in another English speaking country for couple of years. Spare me. Having no interest in her banal offering doesn't make us bullies or begrudgers.

I have been following Michelle since she was in Australia and made YouTube videos! she ended up in Australia first because she met a guy, they were dating for years. He was from New Zealand and they settled in Australia. Her videos were so good back then, so bubbly and fun! She was part of Loz Curtis's group and was doing great. Grace was always commenting on her posts saying stuff like 'come home. Can't wait to see you'. That's how I discovered FBG. Then the relationship with her boyfriend ended and she went quiet on YouTube posting only occasionally and went through a phase of feminism!
Then she met another guy, this one was a personal trainer and she then became fixated with gyms and working out. Posting photos of him regularly and his kids. She then started posting on YouTube again! It ended after 3 months maybe?? Then another round of feminism, positive single vibes BUT and zero YouTube content.
Then she met another guy. He was a big animal lover so then was all about the animals! Animal welfare and rescuing animals! Even got a dog with her boyfriend and set up an instagram page for her boyfriend. That ended after a couple of months. Her posts were toxic! And directed at men and how pathetic they were. I remember her posting of how she was reporting some guy on MAFS for how he treated a girl on the show.
Then she went quiet again. Overnight she returned to Ireland. Telling people this was just a quick stop before the next adventure. She's been here ever since!

She sounds so insecure! Taking on the likes of each new boyfriend only for it to fail. She does the same on IG - jumping on the bullying bandwagon because she has no independent thought.

She's really on the mental health bandwagon now. Not in a a good way either, telling people to DM her if they need support and asking questions like 'what are you struggling with now? Etc. She is not a professional or trained to be discussing with people who are struggling mentally.
I messaged her one day details of how people can find a counsellor, a typed out message for people to copy and paste to text when wanting to book an appointment with a counsellor and she ignored it and put up a message she got from someone saying how great she is for helping so many during this difficult time🤷🏻‍♀️
Wish influencers would understand the boundary between mental health professional and mental health advocate!

100%. Exactly this. Faces by Grace needs to read this sentence. What they are doing is dangerous.
Absolutely! I work in mental health and when I see influencers advise people to 'dress the bed now first thing in the morning, it'll make you feel so much better' or 'burning some stuff from the health food store, my mind feels so much better' or 'reach out to me anytime girls' is worrying!
