How many of those sheep are fobbing the KKK comment off as a 'harmless joke' , a 'bit of fun', 'throwaway comment' .. They're helping dig your instagrave begs. PS thanka for the block, I can still see everything you post #tattlebastardinsheepsclothing

Shows you we've all still a lot to learn and a lot to educate others in.

24 hours in and we've still no tattler having contacted St Tropez, sharing the correspondence? What's the REAL reason Rebeggar? There's certainly be no rush of communications from here.

 

[Lars Guinard]

Has anyone seen ONE comment from a person of colour on her post?

Might be a ‘10 second mistake’ to people who have never had any issues purely because of the colour of their skin.
I learned so much from the stories OTHER PEOPLE did on racism at the time......if Rebecca had dealt with lift gate at the time she would still have threads on here but brands wouldn’t really have a reason to pull ads.

It took me a few months after Rebecca's ONE MISTAKE to post on Tattle about how much it had effected me and why I felt so upset. I mentioned my son who had previously been away at a football camp and how he had encountered racism from some boys post showers, they had put white towels over their heads and 'joked' about the KKK. I messaged Rebecca and told her about my son, how he has a twin sister who passes as White so he has had comments that have been colourist/racist directed toward him,how he stopped taking an interest in football/socialising/school after the incident at the football camp, he turned down acting/modelling work and just wanted to know WHY. Why him?
The response from Rebecca was blocking me after reading my message.
The response from these 'vicious women' on Tattle was overwhelming...I 'literally' cried.
I, too, like some of you, started reading Rebecca's post yesterday, I thought she was going to actually say sorry/own up to her mistake and explain just what she has been doing to educate herself on racism and why people were upset by her actions.
Yes, it has been nearly a year and we have had endless self help books shown but not one book that showed expanding her mind beyond the bubble she lives in and learning, educating herself about people different to her and their struggles. We had endless hot cups of tea and snuggling under a blanket last month but not a visit to the library during Black History Month.
Racism, being discriminated against and not being able to do anything to change something you had no control over. It's hard being turned down for a job, have somebody judge you, have comments made about you, acting like you don't care when people already have a preconceived idea of how you will behave...sorry if I RSVP no to your pity party Rebecca, I am too busy rolling my eyes, a bit like you did after that joke,made by a friend of a friend, that was background noise ,that you didn't even hear!

 

[Catwoman]

I’ve been blocked. Boo bleeping hoo

This is the problem. She take no criticism, no matter how constructive and genuine. She must be a nightmare to manage. Stroppy, childish and blaming everything and everyone but herself.

Welcome back Verruca Salt!

 

[BettyCrocker]

I highly suspect that Whalar had something to do with yesterday’s post. I think they have had a word with her - she’s loosing them money and causing them extra work, they won’t put up with it forever. I think they told her to try to do some sort of apology as damage limitation.
It has backfired spectacularly.

A letter to all the sheep kissing her ass in the comments of the troll posts...

Rebecca Meldrum owes her lifestyle to people like you. And how does she repay you? When she's flogging stuff to you, instead of linking to the shop with the lowest price, she links to the one with the highest % commission.

She doesn't care that YOU are spending more than you need to, she only cares that SHE gets more money in her bank account.

This is not how a friend behaves - she doesn't care about you one bit, you are just a source of money.

Imagine if in real life you admired a friend's shoes and she told you they were £50 in Dune but actually she'd bought them from ASOS for £20, but Dune were giving her more of a cut than ASOS. It's exactly the same.

Why would you be so loyal to someone like that? I guarantee that if you ever bumped into her in real life she would look down in you unless you had something to gift her. Remember, this is the woman who told a new mum she'd been paired up with that she didn't want to meet her as she had enough friends already.

You look at her as an inspiration (hint: Google "Malala"), she looks at you as a revenue stream.

How about we ALL copy and paste this on to her pity post? At the same time?

Much love to you and your family @Lars Guinard . We all cried with you when you shared that experience and we all looked closer at ourselves and others behaviour and should continue to do so, we are all responsible. I despair when I am still reading some of the ignorant responses to her post of yesterday, I can only imagine how you feel.

 

[frizzy]

I stopped liking her as soon as it came out about her old house being part owned by the council. I felt like she had lied and I don't like liars and false people pretending to have it all when in fact they don't.

I think so too. There is much more to this than an ad being pulled. It was either part of an ongoing partnership and mega bucks for showing your knickers or there is something coming up that is under threat. I think the former as no way would she want to attract negative attention prior to a big paid partnership. She would have been posting, hi guyzzzz what you up to today posts.

 

[FridaK]

I genuinely feel after reading that post that she just doesn’t understand her demographic very well. Regardless of the KKK incident (which was more stupid than racist in my opinion,) she can’t figure out why so many find her content inflammatory. She doesn’t have empathy for what some followers are experiencing. Things like over crowding, low income or zero hour contracts etc. Asking brands to stand up to their potential customers on behalf of her is just another example of not looking outside the echo chamber she is in. If she is struggling mentally, she needs to take care of that and that alone. Take a break

 

[MoiraDingle]

She was doing a long running ad campaign with Next.

In one video she accidentally on purpose showed a glimpse of a hospital letter and pamphlet about attending the Breast Clinic.

then she posted a photo to Instagram, it was an advert for clothes from Next but the caption was her talking about having had to attend the Breast Clinic to have a lump checked - everything was fine, thankfully nothing to worry about but it was the fact that she deliberately used a “cancer scare” to generate interest and engagement on that post because she knew it would look good to Next and other potential advertisers for it to have high engagement. She literally used a serious and highly emotive health issue to boost her advert.
People complained to Next and she was asked to take the post down.

Wow. That is disturbing. Seems she just gets murkier and murkier!
I appreciate the explaination @BettyCrocker

One thing I remember when P was in NICU P was on high flow oxygen for a short time and Rebecca was like she’d die if it wasn’t for that.. she was on high flow oxygen not life support! There’s babies in the NICU that are on the maximum amount of life support the doctors can give them and the doctors are still battling to save their lives and some parents never get to take their baby home but if I’m completely honest I genuinely don’t think Rebecca was that fussed over P in the NICU she hardly went to see her or want to name her and I think a lot of it was put on for social media she made everything seem so much more dramatic than it actually was when all she had to do was take a good look around her and she’d see for herself just how okay P actually was! If that was my child I’d be there every second of the day & night but I’d also appreciate that yes my baby is in NICU but they’re not on life support they’re on oxygen and they’re going to be okay

 

[HowardMoon]

Blimey, does the family actually live in the exact house of the murder ?! I’m not sure how anyone feels comfortable with this. So creepy. Has it actually been confirmed that this is definitely the case ?

Yes! They also moved in on Halloween!

The casual racism and the flippant way in which these awful sheep are acting would be so damaging to anyone who isn’t white and happens to come across it. It makes me so angry to think the hurt it could cause.

 

[Catwoman]

Around P's birth I was still a sheep but when she provided a PO Box for gifts that made me think - what a cheeky, greedy witch! Remember her buying (or so she said) the poppy clothing, was it a swimsuit from next? Right up to the upper age limit so she always had a swimsuit with a poppy on? Sorry for being so vague lol.

To be fair, I'm not qualified in any way but I have often wondered if there was a problem with attachment and bonding with her third baby girl. That's terribly sad if that's the case and it has not been addressed, I'm not making excuses but I have wondered about this in the past. There is no doubt that child , like the puppy are tax deductible business transactions.

Ah well, she's got what she loves, attention, arse licking comments and her thread on tattle moving quicker again.

Thank you x
I genuinely did cry at the response to my initial post,such an abundance of love and support. It meant a lot especially after the way Rebecca had behaved, all it would have taken is an acknowledgment, a sincere apology and showing that she is taking steps to educate herself and Lee. I would have so much respect for her if she did apologise for the many mistakes she has made but Rebecca seems to want faux admiration from sheep rather than genuine respect. I am purposefully not reading the comments on her post as I just refuse to believe that many grown adults actually hold such opinions and it's not done just for a response from Rebecca.

 

[fireflies]

Social blade Insta says only gained 25 followers yesterday.
Had crying troll stopped working?

But remember echo chambers never did hilary clinton any good.
Overall engagement is dire considering 105k followers.

 

[Aina]

She’s limited comments on all of her Instagram posts. What a vile coward.
I hope you’re reading this Rebecca, continuing to allow people to casually pass off the KKK comment as not that bad or a little mistake causes further harm to any person of colour who might read that pity party post of yours. You are allowing further racist content to be published! It’s damaging and hurtful and if you actually gave a tit about “being kind” you would take it down or tell your sheep that it’s not ok and that it wasn’t just a little passing comment. You have learnt NOTHING! You are weak and cowardly - take yourself away from social media you horrid little creature.

Remember the comment never stop messaging me.
I'm sorry people can't as you block delete or limit comments.

First post!

My baby is 14 months so a lot younger than P. My baby was in NICU for 2 weeks with a group b strep infection and sepsis. I stayed in hospital the full two weeks, they had a parents accommodation thankfully. Obviously we're all different but after that experience I always thought it was so weird how unattached she'd been.

 

[Asesa]

I totally agree with those of you who are surprised at how many of her followers are saying the comment wasn't that bad. It's a testament to the fact that casual racism seems acceptable to so many. Makes me sick to my stomach.

They are right, noone is perfect, we all have our prejudices but if these prejudices rear their ugly heads in social situations then we are responsible for the repercussions. IF I ever said what her friend said or IF I was ever around someone who said that and I laughed and then broadcasted it around the officw, I would have been fired on the spot. My work place has an absoloute 0 tolerance policy on racism. So yes, to all those thinking Mrs M has been treated unfairly, yes this would have happened in the work place regardless of if the person has a young family or not, regardless of if they had a mortgage or not, and if it wouldn't happen in your work place then you should be ashamed to work there.
