Mrs Meldrum #78 Body.Mind.Arsehole

[G&TGal]

ONE MISTAKE in capitals ... oh Rebecca if only it was one.
"sharing lots of my life" should read "A Director of a Limited Company that specialises in media advertising"

You did not "apologise wholeheartedly", deciding on a 'no fucks given' half hearted response until called out by the national press.
I have never directly contacted brands but I doubt very much that they are fully aware of the situation prior to their collaboration with you as you will find that it is not as you put it, "a sticky situation' and that they want to 'support you' rather than there is NO place for racism in business or indeed in life. M&S fired their newly appointed Loyalty Card chief in 2014 following 'racist' language at work - that how business works.

I know of one company that was looking for a Instagram series of advertisements that found your two fingers salute the biggest red flag against a collaboration. In the words of the MD it showed a "lack of professionalism, a great deal of petulance and immaturity" and if any of his staff gave a prospective client ( and your followers Rebecca are prospective clients both of the brands you take a fee from to promote and indeed of yourself as you earn from affiliate links they click on) a two fingers salute there would be a disciplinary procedure actioned immediately. Very appropriately IMO he called you "a loose cannon"

What many of us have a great deal of disquiet about, is Lee (another director of Mrs Meldrum Ltd) whilst promoting a family holiday as part of an advertising campaign / paid partnership for Neilson decided to not only ignore a potential safeguarding request but three days later posted mocking replies. What if the individual that was captured in the photograph was in a foster or adoptive home following abuse ? You were asked to 'edit' the image not delete, just edit. Was that another 'no fucks given' moment or do you simply not care that potentially you had identified where someone might be, therefore causing distress and possibly harm. Neilson being a brand that promotes 'family holidays' must have reservations about a Media Company they partnered with having a cavalier attitude to safeguarding during that partnership.

DLP - only days ago when you requested ideas for content, a follower suggested DLP tips as you had been there so could advise on shortest queue times, best time of year to go, best rides to go on etc.
Are you going to be HONEST to your followers and say "It was a fully paid trip with a VIP guide thrown in free so perhaps I'm not the best person to advise regarding queue times and costs etc " The VIP guide gives FastPass access 5-15 mins waiting times, reservations to shows & restaurants and an exclusive area to watch the shows and parades, oh and including park tickets if you have a VIP guide it will cost you approx 1500-2000 euros for the full day - conservative estimate from three years ago. Hmmm perhaps your followers didn't get that memo from you.

A promise to run a raffle for a local charity resulted in ...... nothing. If you had been serious about it you would have contacted Michelle or Danielle and offered your generous raffle prize which would have been placed on their Charity JustGiving page under your name with a set donation being asked to secure an entry to the draw with a closing date on it and the draw would have been conducted on your behalf to comply with the Lotteries and Gaming Act. Empty words with no action.

Both the FoodBank post and your gleeful boast at claiming a free burger meant for those who had given their all to help those caught in the devastating floods on Deeside by storm Frank over New Year 2015/2016, have been branded 'morally reprehensible' not by the 'vicious women' you claim in your post but by a group of students in Aberdeen who spend a considerable amount of their free time helping vulnerable children and families in this area.

So Rebecca you see it is not ONE MISTAKE a year ago, it is a pattern of behaviour and a series of events by the two directors which have the cumulative effect of damaging the reputation of the Limited Company Mrs Meldrum Limited

(I see Robertronaldrose post has gone - however if RRR chooses to continue reading, I have a life thank you.)

And does anyone else feel pretty annoyed with her management? They’re obviously still willing to put her and the brand through the wringer for the sake of their cut!

They must keep telling her that this time it’ll be alright, but it never is! Yet they do it again and again and again. If I were the Meldrums I’d being having serious concerns about the moral compass of a management team that would keep doing that to me. These companies don’t care about the people behind the insta-brand. They care about what cash they can make off their backs. It’s very grim.

Yes! This. It's almost embarrassing. Surely they don't agree with this tripe that she posts?

 

[Northerngal]

Hope Candice throws her to the wolves after this latest pity party!

 

[Ohflogoff]

She wouldn’t care if it hadn’t affected her freebies. That is what makes me upset. There is no bigger picture in the insular world she lives in. The lack of awareness and lack of education is astonishing.

It wasn’t meant to cause offence or harm, no... but this highlights the whole problem

“It was more of a “don’t we look ridiculous” comment.” I have no words.

There is nothing casual about racism. That is a fact.

 

[Youbelter!]

I would have actually considered not even posting here anymore if I saw a post saying “my friend was extremely racist but this was not the only reason I’ve hurt people. I handled it terribly after and since then have been unnecessarily hurtful to people’s feelings regarding this and other topics. I have made many mistakes, not being honest about DLP trips was my first and then the way I handled the KKK joke was insensitive and I should never have posted “no fucks given” posts and attempted to prove I’m not a racist by recommending a black lady. She was very upset by this understandably so I’m sorry to her too. I do have a tendency to get my back up when things are pointed out to me, for example with the octopus picture I laughed and mocked people for being upset by it calling them twats and telling them to get a life. I should never have mixed a Next advertisement with a cancer scare; it was quite frankly insulting to those who have cancer and I’m sorry. I’ve handled things terribly. This isn’t a hobby, I am making money from this and should really treat this as more of a business. I want to do better and have more open dialogue and listen to your opinions. I have deleted and blocked people for very trivial things such as not liking our log pile and I need to reign this in. I need to accept there will be comments on my page that differ to my opinion but will definitely keep deleting those people who are abusive or genuinely trolling me. I want to have another chance at this as I love what I do but would like to draw a line under this and trust that I am going to try and be better and be kinder which is what I’ve asked you all to do. It works both ways”

And pigs might fly.

 

[Ems88]

There are so many other influences brands could use why they would risk using her I don’t get it! She’s never does it professionally anyway always half hearted rubbish!!

 

[Blockedbyadmin]

It’s just yet again alllllll about HER. How she feels/how it affects her/what she’s lost out on etc. She’s never ever ever stopped for a second to acknowledge the fact that it was RACIST.

she skso needs to Stop trying to Pass the blame onto her friend who actually said it; it’s kind of beside the point now. It was public content that SHE edited and that SHE uploaded onto her channel which she runs as a business. It was her & Lee’s responsibility to run the business correctly and yknow, not allow racist tit to go public on their platform.

And what about the frigging doxxing that she was involved in and then messaging people and threaten police involvement. The woman is a disgrace

 

[Slithering]

I've booked a DJ for the pity party. Request your favourite tunes. Thought we'd start with Gold by Spandau Ballet?

To be fair, shes spoken a little more truth in describing the incident we nicknamed liftgate by admitting it was a friend that made the comment, thus showing she lied about it a lot up to now. So why not have done that at the time? Instead of ignorantly laughing it off. But why post that today? What's on it's way they don't want to lose. Honestly Rebeggar, come on here, have some discussion if you think it's a bunch of strangers that's the problem? I think you are giving tattle 'credit' where it's not due. Household brands are not going to buckle down to a bunch of faceless (you say) women. But I do remember one brand saying they were aware of your history, so maybe you've discussed it what? Once? with a brand. But really I think you are barking up the wrong tree blaming this. Really I do. Someone has posted support on your grid, along the lines of it was one tiny mistake - if only it was. There's no point in listing them all, you read here. Why did you not mention in that post how you treat your followers like tit? Delete their comments, block them even. Basically ignore them? Faithful followers without whom you'd have hit the bumpers long before now. I love when comments include the word 'jealous' - it makes me laugh. I don't know one person on here that would swap lives with you, but I have got to know very genuine people behind the names of those posting on this thread.

I personally think you should come on here as yourself, what have you got to lose? We wouldn't attack. But tattle isn't the cause and effect of the problem you are obviously in now. The continued arsey and sneaky behaviour of MrsM Directors has been to blame. Numbers are falling because of you continually addressing stuff you've read on here (that isn't trolling) through your business social media, which makes you look off the wall at times, your devoted followers are thinking wtf is going on, what have they missed and you are inconsistent with your approach and poor attitude towards giving the followers what they look for. This past few months uploads have been unpredictable and not when you promise, there's thousands of channels and accounts out there nowadays and your are losing to more professional, interesting and genuine accounts and creators. You come across as you cannot be arsed, that you are not enjoying it any more but when you have been creating it's inconsistent in timing and badly edited. People don't choose to gift their time and follow for that, they seek out and follow things that provide escapism or are relatable.

This post today has only come about because another ad got pulled or why was it? What are you hoping to achieve from it? I'm interested to hear. I said it this morning, no one on here has posted a reply from St Tropez, so why put the blame here (presuming we're the very vicious group of women you are referring to?). But again I said it today, I think the more vicious bunch of women were that influencers on the retreat singing and mocking you. We actually called them out on that on here if you remember? That was nasty, that was public and THAT was trolling.

Tattler bastards, I'm not being funny but does she really think it's down to tattle their business being affected. I think the problem is far, far more than that. Tattle is providing an excuse for brands to ditch the poorly produced and badly edited material, it was not always like this Rebecca, you are capable, you just don't seem interested in anything more than making money off your followers nowadays.

So Rebecca & Lee, I would have posted this (I think it's nice enough) response on your accounts, but you blocked me, after mocking me. What did I do? Oh yes, I asked how the yoga was going. I had already found tattle after you ranting about the nasty trolls - I googled your name and troll and tattle came up. Read back, you'll see me calling out the tattlers, sticking up for you. Look right back and if you knew me you would see the tattlers quoting me as sheep and taking the piss out of me before I found here.... quoting me over and over....... however, I pulled up a chair then started to read the threads, right from the beginning and to read and to read how I had been duped time and time again to spend my money, I lost hours finding out about the greedy world of the social media influencer. Now on what side of the fence did you say are the bunch of vicious women?

I wish someone, someone who lurks here and follows her account (?)would tag Kate Ellison and Louise Pentland in the comments and ask for their views on the piss taking of Rebecca on the Influencers Retreat in January.

You are right..that was trolling and nasty. We all felt it was so. We stood up for her on this board and some of us felt pretty bad for her. That was straight in your face humiliation from people who claim to be her "friends'.

 

[reader87123]

But it wasn't just the KKK comment that ended her career though, was it? It was the attitude that followed which people had an issue with - refusing to take down the vlog for some time, the 'zero fucks given' story, using a black woman and a child as a shield, refusing to offer a sincere apology straight away, etc. etc. It was the way she dealt with the situation that killed her relationships with brands. If she'd owned up and offered a genuine apology immediately, taken down the vlog and perhaps offered to donate any money made from the vlog to a charity OR SOMETHING, but no. It's still everyone else's fault.
And then there's the DLP fiasco, the Next controversy, the lying about ads and not declaring correctly, etc. If she had handled her business professionally, none of this would have happened. It's because she half-arses everything and hopes for the best, but she's slipped up big time. No one to blame but herself.

 

[Foolmeonce]

Her rants are usually the result of something going seriously wrong for her.

She joined up with Whalar end of August / start of September last year.
Perhaps it was a initially 12 month contract and, after all the trouble she has caused them with brands and ads being pulled (especially if they still have to pay her from their own pocket), they may just have given her notice that they will not be renewing their contract with her.

 

[Fathead]

She forgets about... Takes a deep breath... Food bank taking no donation, DLP, there was a cancer thing ( before my time here) lying, forgetting to label gifts, constant sneaky af f linking and trying to sell to her followers, lying photos and now black felt top pen photoshopping!!!! I m sure REBECCA there are even more reasons people here, most who used to follow and like you in the early days, me included , rant in anger on here about your lying , begging, moaning about yr hard (NOT) life,deceitful behaviour. If you care about your health stop reading here, get off line and work a normal job and life. Rant over.I

On the Instagram comment it says continued in comments... What does she sayy? I don't follow just watch via google.

This. I didn’t even know about the lift thing initially. I found here after just questioning her general bull shittery, lack of transparency , and constant lies . I also think that the response to the AXA advert that Simon Hooper done will have spooked her as influencers and tattle will be on the media much more due to that royal cock up and she’s covering her back on the basis of it being one mistake when in fact it’s years of getting away with things .

 

[Appanappa]

Sooo many comments saying people are jealous.
Nobody is jealous of a racist like Rebecca, I’m disappointed brands continue to work with her with her history (the passive aggressive insta stories, the racism, exploitation of her children’s privacy (i don’t really like anyone who shares their kids on YT, but I think vlogging their days out and filming them in the bath are two very different things, Reb hasn’t learnt that yet))

companies advertising biscuits and tan have much more suitable people to partner with, if they go in prepared for this onslaught of complaints why have they all be pulled?? Answer : because reb wont own up to her mistakes. This wasnt a poorly thought joke that was left in a vlog (which had she taken out and apologised for I don’t think as many people would be angry) , this was clearly left in, it was then attempted to be covered up, then reb used WoC to act like a saint . But she won’t admit that, she won’t apologise and own up, because she can’t act like a grown woman.
god help those children if she is their role model

 

[oli’smum]

So Mouse died. Which is actually pretty sad.

And despite the fact she was pretty treacherous about him in the early days, let’s not show ourselves up to be be c*nts (because we’re actually totally not) and lay off for the night. Because we’re actually all pretty decent gals (and guys) despite any opinions of others.

Sorry Mouse died and all that.

*unless of course she/he resorts to attention seeking in next 30 mins then all bets are off

Hang on! Mouse died? Where was this reported? An animal in her care, that she has shown on vlogs as part of her brand, ha passed away and she hasn't even mentioned it in her pity party post?

 

[Aazp8687]

It’s ok though, normality resumes between poor mouse and her poor one mistake post, she’s back giving herself the come to bed eyes at herself in the camera and showing how tiny and tight her white jeans are in her latest video. How she can wear white jeans that stay white with three kids and a dog?! Tell me how you do it Mrs M! Now that’s a video I might actually watch!!

She put it on her stories, said he got run over

 

[AberdeenCity83]

All a little too late Mrs M.

And isn't this just a hobbie now.

Oh but you "NEED" a holiday! Work like the rest of us and then pay for a holiday!!!!!

 

[Slithering]

Poor Mouse..rest in peace mate. You deserved better.

What was this about ?! X

 

[VeronicaCrank]

That's awful about the cat. I don't think it'd be fair to blame her though. He seemed to be an outdoor cat who flitted between her house and mum's and probably made an ill-timed dash across the road. Losing a pet is hard.
