I commented a few threads ago saying I found it strange that chipmunk’s posts were all so negative about Nadia but positive about Mark. After that they changed to be critical of Mark as well sometimes.
Because of the onesidedness and because of sometimes having inside information that isn’t on the SA social media/YouTube (about her parents, the kids etc) I’m convinced that chipmunk is either part of the family or very close to the family. Or possibly a Julia Sawahla super-fan.
But it doesn’t bother me at all. Everyone welcome so long as discussion not getting shut down. So don’t take this the wrong way chipmunk

You’re very polite and a very active contributor so I wouldn’t want you to stop. I just wanted Maid22 to know I agree.
Thank you
@GSampson1982 I really appreciate that, I must admit I felt a bit upset if I had offended Tattlers yesterday.
I'm not a family member, nor do I have inside information. I am and did say so a while back that I am a Julia fan, I would say I am more of an AbFab fan actually. I read articles on her because there is simply more about her (from earlier days) than Nitty. sometimes when things are mentioned I just go and do some detective work and put 2+2 together, clearly coming up with the sum of 5 at times.
Well.. I knew my time would come, and I deserve it Karma wise. I have accused enough people myself of being family members or Manks and Nits. I was pulled up on this a while back and stopped my accusations.
Every Tattler knows we all have to take our turn of being accused of such. I thank my lucky stars the assumption is just a family member and not Manks
My actual reason for watching their yt had nothing to do with being a fan, though I suppose the Sawalha link is what pulled me in. It is/was because I was interested in the addiction and mental health side of things, as I had to go down the road of medication which I found extremely debilitating. I started watching around the time he was about to take his first anti-depressants. Having been in that situation myself, I found it really interesting to watch someone go through the dilemma of should I shouldn't I? He used to make me laugh, and I simply identified with him, also because addiction runs rife through my family.
As it happens, I've worked very hard and have had a great support network around me. My family are extremely understanding along with my friends. I came off meds as I did not like what they did for me. I chose a different approach. Lots of the right kind of therapy, exercise, healthy eating and surrounding myself with non-toxic people and most importantly, acceptance. I have my good days and my bad days, I now see them coming and know how to manage them.
I suppose my take on things were blurred because I identified regarding the depression.
Yes I have a tendency to pull Nitty up much more than Manks, but there are many many things said about her on here which I feel are a step too far and I do not join in.
I feel the same as all of you, he has taken over, I think I've been a bit slow on the uptake there, assuming he was filling in because she wasn't available etc. I hated the mask phase, I hate the way he talks over her cooking vlogs and as for Nanni Di, it breaks my heart the way the both of them treat her.
I tuned out for a while during Covid because I didn't find them helpful for me, quite the opposite. I tuned back in around the time I joined here. I was appalled at the decline, the charities, the shout outs that people don't receive, the general mayhem and chaos.
Then from nowhere, the naked photos, the underwear shots, her sudden obsession with selling anything she could get her hands on, so I took my eye off the ball and was so fuming about the children, Kiki's Birthday and the dogs, that I simply didn't notice the finer details.
I opened my mouth too quickly without having watched
@notSUBmissive timestamped video. As far as my comments regarding HTSM, others did agree with me, though, I will admit, I watched it from the timestamp given, so it was out of context. I'll take the decision not to watch the HSTM's they are just a step too far for me.
All I can do is apologise, I hadn't noticed the very quick decline into very obvious abuse from him recently.
I hope all of the above gives you a little more confidence in me.
