Me too!
Me too!Living my best life watching this all unfold
Sorry dizzymare i read your comment as the comment some other pratt wrote, ive deleted it and apologised to you. Im really sorry got confused.
Actually, you make a good point.I think the “joke” about the kkk is terrible, it is racist thoughtless and stupid.
Would she reprimand her children for putting a sheet over their heads and saying the same thing? What if they did a Nazi salute?
However the issue I take is that her friend had no choice but to have his shitty joke posted on YouTube, he said it flippantly with people he trusted, and she has outed him as racist. I have been in situations where I have had to tell someone that their view is out of line but I do it privately and with humility, because often it comes from ignorance and privilege rather than hatred.
To then involve another instamum is just ridiculous, it honestly makes me cringe that she wanted to prove how super not racist she was by doing that. I can’t understand how a 30 year old woman would think it was a good idea.
When she apologized she could have reached out to her followers to admit she had been a bit ignorant and naive but she wanted to learn and raise her children to be inclusive.
She is honestly just so stupid that it’s painful.
And she eye rolled and made a face when it was saidThe KKK did horrible and unspeakable crimes against innocent people just because they had a different skin colour. Referring to yourselves as looking like one should never come out of someone's mouth nevertheless be broadcast on a channel of over 100k people. She didn't say it but she allowed it on her channel. There's no way she didn't hear it and purposely left it in the video. Her actions surrounding it are equally as offensive as leaving it in.
It is beyond disgusting. She is selling them outI didn’t realise that the children’s images were used so prolifically by the brands. Awful!
And poor poppy - it’s her picture put out there with comments under it about what her parents have done -really makes you think about these poor kids and then being used the way they areAnd honestly, it shows how stupid Ella’s kitchen are as well. They should have thought twice before putting that picture up, it looks bad to delete a pic that’s already been up on their grid.
Which makes me wonder if the Meldrums have asked for the photo to be taken down rather than Ella’s kitchen deciding to remove it? I’d hate to think of one of my kid’s photos being associated with all of that negative stuff.And poor poppy - it’s her picture put out there with comments under it about what her parents have done -really makes you think about these poor kids and then being used the way they are
Don’t be daft!Which makes me wonder if the Meldrums have asked for the photo to be taken down rather than Ella’s kitchen deciding to remove it? I’d hate to think of one of my kid’s photos being associated with all of that negative stuff.
I didn’t realise this either! I guess I mostly follow the influencer and some beauty clothing brands they might flog but despite having small kids I dont follow oxo tot or Ella or anything like that. It makes you realise how much they have actually signed their children away. They are even more exploited than I realised. Not just the meldrums here, all the influencers.I, naively, didn’t know that the brands Edgy worked with then use her images of the children as adverts. It makes me feel even more uneasy about the way these children are used. They really are child models and should be adhering to the same guidelines that children working in tv/photoshoots/theatre are. Just because their parents take the pictures doesn’t make it any better or less like they’re working and earning money.
In this case I agree poppy is effectivly a child model for ellas kitchen.I, naively, didn’t know that the brands Edgy worked with then use her images of the children as adverts.

But the picture was only uploaded by them today. Irrespective of the fact it was an old pic, bad timing to load it up today with everything that is going on. Also don’t believe that they are unaware of the racism issue.I messaged ellas and got this response back
Hi there. We have previously worked with Mrs Meldrum but our recent post was an old one. We’ve since removed the post and by no way condone racists attitudes or comments. Best wishes, Ella’s Kitchen x
What a well written article!Why Some Jokes Just Aren’t Funny.
A Mummy Vlogger, Mrs Meldrum, found herself in serious hot water this week, when she posted a video of herself and her friends enjoying her thirtieth birthday at a posh hotel and left in a racist c…writeonejaleigh.wordpress.com
I remember MOD saying that each collaboration would have different requests/deals regarding family and kids etc so she was saying she tried to go for deals that did not involve her children, or it was limited. No idea why as her husband whores them. But I guess that enables her to really focus on furnishing her house for free.I didn’t realise this either!

I wondered that too.Actually, you make a good point.
Wonder how the friend has been affected?
Suppose it only takes one person having seen the video that works with him to snowball..
I remember her saying that too, I just assumed it meant how many pics involving the kids she was required to include on her own feed, not that she was bartering their images out to third parties. Shocking. And yes, the twins aren’t too useful in getting free paint and interior designers so she can take the moral high groundI remember MOD saying that each collaboration would have different requests/deals regarding family and kids etc so she was saying she tried to go for deals that did not involve her children, or it was limited.

I thought they bartered the children and would consider ‘jobs’ but trade use of kids etc.I remember her saying that too, I just assumed it meant how many pics involving the kids she was required to include on her own feed, not that she was bartering their images out to third parties.
