It’s not the first time she’s twisted things for public sympathy.
She shared some videos a while ago that were secret recordings of her “abusive” step dad. In the recordings she framed as devastating abuse and him kicking her out of her home, it was basically him saying something along the lines of, ‘Don’t come back to this house if you think it’s ok to speak to your mother like that!’. It just sounded like anyone trying to set boundaries with a salty teenager.
I’ve raised teenagers. I know all too well how they’ll take anything you say and spin it into, ‘It’s so unfair!’ - think Kevin and Perry. It’s an important evolutionary phenomenon: teenagers push parents away (and make themselves harder to be around) so they can fly the nest (and parents can let them go) to diversify the gene pool. These days they just don’t tend to diversify the gene pool straight away, multiple times in quick succession, with different fathers, and demand bigger council housing and more benefits with every baby...
I honestly don’t think I know anyone who has endured abuse and thought to whip out their phone to record it, and then captured something like that and thought, ‘Yup. That’s strong evidence to support my abuse claims, now I’m going to turn this into inspirational social media content so people can blow smoke up my a’. As an outsider, it really didn’t translate the way her self-indulgent teenage brain heard it, and the way she’s spun this latest tragic tale makes it harder to believe that “abuse” wasn’t all completely exaggerated for effect.
She’s looking at the world through the lens of a child who only got their needs met when something dramatic happened. I imagine she was pretty much ignored and left to her own devices growing up because her parents were spread so thin between the what, 7 siblings? The squeakiest wheel got the oil I bet, and so I think she’s learned to weave drama out of scraps of negativity so that someone will pay her attention. It’s all a bit Boy who cried wolf now, and she’s playing a dangerous game to make claims that can be debunked in black and white. Nobody made fun of her weight or acne. She doesn’t even have acne, she gets some hormonal chin spots like we all do, that in itself proves how dishonest she’s being!
