This whole thing feels so ridiculous, the melodramatic hand wringing and all of the drama, because she’s been shown to be bitchy? Taking the comment about CB out, I just couldn’t work up enough energy to be that arsed that she was being bitchy here? Yes it makes her a bitchy hypocrite but all of the pearl clutching from the influencers is just utterly ridiculous. A woman has been a dick, calm yourselves! It'll all blow over. People have done much worse and recovered!

I find it ridiculous this insta community had no issue with her bullying attitude to others, no problem with her lack of transparency around gifts, no issue with the overuse and over exposure of her kids, no issue with her using and manipulating her audience for engagement (let’s talk PND - oops AD for Superdrug) but do get on their high horse and stir up all this nonsense because she was a bit of a dick on an online forum?

It’s bizarre and it’s so misplaced.

(What she said about CB is just straight up racism, if she’d said her content was boring or whatever, then fine but she went personal and in with the comments on race and ‘angry black woman’ stereotype. No one seems angry at her for this, just the ~betrayal 🙄)



Exposure. It’s that simple! She’s not daft, and plays the game well.
Most of the outraged regularly feature their children online, inc. Hungermama. She even wrote a post about why she does on her blog several years ago.

‘but do get on their high horse and stir up all this nonsense because she was a bit of a dick on an online forum?’

my quote function isn’t working, but I don’t think it’s because she was a dick on an online forum, it’s because she was a dick on an online forum about THEM. It’s fine when MOD is bullying and setting followers on nobodies on IG (not a peep out of the likes of HM, CT et al then) but god forbid she says anything about other Instamums.
100%. That entire lot are only concerned about themselves. I always wondered whether they could see that having panel events where the same tedious boring people speak ALL THE TIME might not just be, well tedious. There are other instamums that I personally find harder to stomach than MOD tbh

I can see why she wanted a break from having to be so sickly sweet all the time! There’s obviously a big disjunction between her online presence and her real personality. All the woke stuff always felt incredibly forced, both her and FOD often let that slip. They’re both really privileged and not especially intelligent or reflective. Behind the Cash and Candice stuff is a real sense of entitlement only lovely white middle class ladies with perfect taste should be allowed to speak. I do feel pity for her though it’s horrendous to imagine being at the centre of this and being so visible you couldn’t get away from it, imagine how paranoid you’d feel. I know it’s of her own creation but still a horrible thought.

I'd be more concerned about my daughter being a self confessed "pimp" (I.e specifically involved in the sexual exploitation and abuse of vulnerable women ), - but that seems to be being overlooked by many on here.

Strange times indeed .....
We’re they vulnerable women? Or were they women who chose to be an escort? The latter many people will overlook because, it’s sod all to do with anyone but the woman who has chosen that as a job lol

Is there a quick summary, haven't time to watch it!
If you go to the 5 min mark of the documentary it’s there.

In short she was an escort/ madam and talks about their plans for an Ed fort agency and a man who likes to have his bum sniffed.

It’s an absolute tit show. And clearly no amount of fame and money actually bought her life any value or happiness. It also kind of explains FODs regular outpourings of adoration, despite her never really doing the same. Reading back through the comments I can’t help but feel that his competitiveness with her destroyed this. She had 65k followers as midwifeyhooper. She was well liked and respected. He joined and quickly overtook her, they became brand OD, but she often stated she was unhappy about things he posted and I’d say she wanted to stop, knew her daughters were over exposed (hence trying to reduce them on her feed) but that was futile with his account. Hence the what is he without the kids comments. So she either loved the fame and money too much to stand by her morals which therefore gave her no actual joy, or he was such a dominant FOD force she had no choice but to carry on and blindly try to believe this would never impact on them.
Very sad for those girls.
I think that’s a really good point.

22 and 24. I was 23 when I became a parent- younger than some, older than others. They make it sound like they were pushing a pram about still in their school uniforms! I think they were just the first of their social circle.
Yep this. None of my group of current friends have had children yet as we're still studying for our first/ second degree and we're already 29,28,27, 25 sprinkled in with a few 23 year olds.

CB won’t have known about all this Alice stuff when she agreed to the podcast surely. I know there’s been speculation in tattle for months but it seems it’s taken til this week for Alice to be exposed and clemmie to confirm it (obviously a lot has happened behind the scenes that we don’t know about that forced clemmie into a corner). There’s no way these othe insta Huns have been sitting on this golden goose of a story for months. I bet they didn’t manage 3 days

I don’t think people’s outrage is specifically just abo it her posting here. I think people have had issues with her for a while now & this is just the time they’ve chosen to get it all out.
Also people generally hate hypocrites don’t they, which MOD has shown herself to be.
Im not saying she deserves to be attacked by the masses but at the same time she has personally sent her fan girls to specific accounts to do just that so All that’s happening now is just a taste of her own medicine? The comments I’ve read on her instagram haven’t been that bad either. Just people speaking out about their disappointment, which they have a right to do considering their support is what has got Clemmie to the insta-mum-influencer level she is at.

I’ve not been on here for a while and just catching up on all the mod/fod kerfuffle. Does anyone remember what she said on here about fod and which friends she slagged off? (I’m just being nosey and want a giggle) 🤣 also why would she lose her job/get a warning? I don’t know the whole story x
It’s in this particular thread. Just read through it.

She might not lose many followers amongst the masses but she has definitely stop being followed by a lot of her contemporaries. That is going to hurt big time, no more sisterhood and back slapping meet-ups or collabs.

I'm going to have to change my user name aren't I. It was actually a play on Game of Thrones/Mother of Dragons, but I'm seeing some parity between Daenerys and MOD now.

I'll get my coat...
Yes, yes! ‘The mad queen’ vs the mad queen bee 🤦‍♀️

This.

The hypocrisy is real. They're all the same. Call out people for negative comments or those who question them (usually with legit concerns) and yet cry bully/troll when it's the other way. I don't agree with what MOD has done but the witch hunt that has now begun is arguably worse. You can't call bully whilst bullying someone and sending your followers to attack and/or unfollow.

It's not even just these Instagrammers either, they're all like it. Shows how fake and hypocritical the influencer world really is. They're all happy to expose Tattlers or negative messages they receive, all the while most of them have been awful to someone else.
Agreed. They're probably all on here too doing the same thing. Don't trust any of them tbh
