Yes! She's RTed some bits around pregnancy during covid which is weird, suspect that's just to make her popping up appear more normal? Like when you send a risky text and then say some other shit around it to pad it out, like the fluff absorbs the shock of the shit nugget you just sent?I don’t think it’s a proper comeback either, can you imagine the backlash ‘Disgraced racist instamum Clemmie Hooper attempts under the radar social media comeback during pandemic scare’ etc etc and what would her brand be now? I don’t think making her offering 90% midwifery/women’s health related would work because her credibility is shot to pieces and she’s not trustworthy or likeable. In fact she seems like a female misogynist. She also doesn’t want the kind of following that would be on the table for her now... all of this was, she thought, a one way ticket to bona fide celebrity and that is now never going to happen is it! She must be seething as the opportunities some of her old crew are getting. I don’t think her ego could handle feeling like an underachiever compared to them. But oh for the beef with CB’s mates I’d like to see Clemmie return!
The reality for pregnant women right now is pretty fucking bleak and we certainly do not need a classist racist greedy guts to come help us. A £150 pleather backpack isn't going to reverse the months of worry we have ahead of us!! Our reality is no IRL midwife appts, scans at hospitals in lock down, no in person NCT (or local mother groups etc), no IRL pregnancy yoga or the other fluffy stuff you're meant to enjoy as a pregnant woman/couple. They've just said how our births are gonna be a 5 min affair with us leaving the units as soon as physically possible, home births entirely scrapped apparently. I'm 2 CA125 blood tests behind schedule. I don't know how we're gonna furnish the baby's room either? And a car seat so she can come home?! We're all having to adjust significantly, this isn't a moan at all as I am hugely grateful I'm so safeguarded and cared for by the NHS who are beyond wonderful, but our situation isn't fixed by the 'expertise' of a woman who's only got a few years of actual experience under her belt?!
I actually really hope she doesn't make a re-appearance because it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel for them wouldn't it, a load of really worried women at their most vulnerable, hormonal/emotional & bored sat at home with nothing else to do & no higher authority (their actual MW or mums they meet through groups) to ask for advice from... & for the very privileged minority of us, more disposable income as we're not commuting or socialising = the perfect audience to flog needless shit to. It's ghastly to even type that out, but I bet it's crossed their minds.
