Wow wow wow, it's really hit the fan now hasn't it.
In part, I feel sorry for Rebecca. She is the sole earner for a very expensive lifestyle and that puts enormous amounts of pressure on someone. I see it daily as my husband is in the same position (I'm a stay at home mum but do try to help out with a part time job and childminding) and it's exhausting for him. To have her livelihood threatened would be scary however, and this is a BIG however, she's brought this on herself by her refusal to do her job properly, shifting the blame, sticking her head in the sand and her inability to change.
Her followers talk about how she's been doxxed on Tattle, which is false. I know her address, only because she's been daft enough to be careless with that information. Before she moved, I one night Googled her, as in just Rebecca Meldrum, while feeding my then newborn and her home address was on the first page of results. Googling that address (because I was nosy AF and love seeing houses) lead me to find out that her house was a shared ownership property. She chose to register her business at her home address which becomes public record. Now with the new house, she went and bought probably the most infamous house in her town, some place everyone local knows about. Word got out fast with that ill conceived house buying vlog and her showing the grounds. I don't blame her for using the move as content, it's great content, but had I been in her position, I would have been much more selective in what was shown and kept anything regarding the outside of the house off limits. She's obviously learned a bit because her business is now registered to an external address but she registered at her mother's house...a house that she's publicly shown via real estate listings on her Instagram page and that her mum has done an interview about. You can't go on about wanting privacy and then do nothing to protect it. I read someone mentioning that people now know where her girls go to school. Isn't there like only 2 primary schools in her town? Take your pick, you've got a 50% chance of being right.
While I'm on the topic of doxxing and privacy, her doxxing Kermit is illegal and I honestly cannot believe she did that. Kermit, this needs legally addressing because it's out you at a real risk. Rebecca has chosen to put her life out there for public consumption but you haven't. You've done nothing wrong from what I've seen and this should not be swept under the rug. I hope you're doing ok.
I've been reading these threads since DLP and in the nearly 7 months since then, there has been some content and comments I haven't agreed with. I personally don't like comments on her personal appearance, orange filter aside because it's doing her no favours and if she was a friend I'd tell her the same. I think she's an attractive woman and I like her clothes for the most part. The girls should be off limits entirely. They are adorable and beautiful girls and have no say in any of this. I don't care for speculation on their marriage, don't have a problem with her decorating "style" and I generally subscribe to the philosophy "not my monkey, not my circus" when it comes to all that. That all being said, I would say that 90% of the comments have been about her business practises, or lack thereof and how she's hurt those who once followed her and considered her a friend. I don't think any of those comments are off side and while it hurts to read/learn negative things about yourself, you have to face the bad in order to get to the good. For a business to succeed, something I hope for Rebecca, you've got to take ALL feedback (not genuine trolling or bullying) on board and act accordingly.
I have never complained to anyone about her shady actions, nor have I ever sent her a negative message. I also have never apologised to her for anything. If you are reading here Rebecca, I am sorry if you are hurting but you have to take accountability for your actions. I don't want to see you fail, I want to see your girls flourish and have a lovely life, but you have to see how you're conducting yourself has lead you to this point. I don't doubt she's received nasty messages. Those direct nasty messages are definitely trolling and bullying but this site is not that. Tattle seems to have a strict code of conduct when it comes to that. Labelling anything negative or dissenting as trolling and bullying takes away from the real thing and that does no one any favours.
I really do hope she changes and gets her career back on track. She's got three lovely and beautiful daughters to take care of and I never want to see people hurting, no matter how awful they've acted.
