Agree @Misbehaving, especially where you say...
"I remember years ago reading her cookbooks and she gave such an impression of a well adjusted blended family that I actually was impressed by them!"
I felt this too... I thought Nadia Sawalha's family was like my own by what I read...
I started watching the Sawalha-Adderleys when they went online and very quickly saw that actions spoke louder than words.
I saw that her words had been lies and her actions showed the reality which is that of a disfunctional, jealous messed up family that was headed by two attention seeking, lying, morally bankrupt, narcissistic and messed up people who NEED daily validation from a bunch of strangers.
I saw animals and children being treated extremely badly and never in my life had I felt so duped by the actual reality of the actions and words of the once perceived lovely girl next door that I wrongly assumed Nadia Sawalha was.
The Web of lies got bigger, their world got filthier, their family became more seperated and the extent to which they need daily reassurance that they are busy but wonderful people grew and grew.
Here we are, holding two very selfish, very deceptive and very manipulative people to account.
I've always hoped that they'd gracefully accept we've seen through their rouse and that they'd close it down to focus on fixing their spectacularly broken personalities and lives but that's never going to happen as their need for massive tax relief coupled with their compulsion for approval, endorsement and recognition is far too important to both Sawalha-Adderleys
Two excellent posts @notSUBmissive and @WoodlandCreaturenotSUBmissive - that is a perfect description of the Catch 22 narcissists have to content with [not that they are aware of this of course].The more exposure they gain, the more their defects become glaringly obvious and the more the attention goes to their heads and then they continue to act in an increasingly grandiose manner and making themselves look worse and worse. A certain Duchess living in a multi-toileted mansion is a brilliant example of this - striding around New York like a character from the Matrix!
Also narcissists, as they age, often end up hanging out with and dating younger people as their peers can see through them. I personally know one elderly narcissist who likes "to spend time with the young folks" - yes of course because they don't see through him and he can buy their friendship with his financial clout but they're not friends just hangers-on! I note that Lee chap is quite a bit younger than Nadia. I don't know about Mark's friends - does he have any apart from his daughters?

A pile of crap being chucked in a wrap…again!🥱 Is that all they eat these days?
Was all of the NNSS live? Did they have pre-recorded bits? I don’t understand how they would be capable when they can just about manage CM, and that’s when they are sitting still!Thanks for sharing again @knickerbockerey

I literally only went to give myWas all of the NNSS live? Did they have pre-recorded bits? I don’t understand how they would be capable when they can just about manage CM, and that’s when they are sitting still!
Thank you @knickerbockerey for sharing that with us.The No-Name Sunday Show: Live - (Available until around 12.30pm... after which, it will be put behind a paywall).
I thought it would be the whole family, yes and by that I mean daughters, nephew, sister (singular) her parents all having a nice Sunday roast, welcoming the SUBS to their world of fakery, luring them into a so called perfectly functioning family. Well at least they were decent enough not to do that.I literally only went to give myand saw that pile of who knows what on a wrap, and then I left.
From what they’ve been saying the last few days, it was going to be completely live. I can’t imagine it was worth watching!
What an incredible breakdown of what must have been something very frustrating to watch. I can’t understand why her parents keep putting up with her? Do they feel sorry for her? If so why? She had the same chances in life as the other two. Or do they feel guilty for not seeing what an out of control, spiteful little girl she must have been? But that woudln’t make sense, because surely they should be fawning over Dina & Julia and telling Nitty to sort herself out?Thank you @knickerbockerey for sharing that with us.
The first thing that struck me was how bad the picture quality was really grainy and not clearly defined at all!
Another one was yet again how out of control her compulsion to over feed her father is!
This from the woman who by her own admission has recently lost weight!
Yet her offering to Nadim is one of waffles with bacon followed by lasagne and followed then by chocolate cake!
Yet she admires his longevity and his strength (She's a flatterer even with her own family) while at the same time offering him food that has very little nutritional value!
It's not as if he doesn't have taste either he talks about eating pickled aubergine and hummus and following a middle Eastern diet (Which as he explained do have health benefits)
Nadia who is so obsessively proud of her Jordanian heritage that she pays very little heed to it!
Yeah Nadia you could have learnt something from your dad if you bothered to take him seriously instead of your usual condescending pat him on the head the man done good attitude!
Ditto with Dina who is inspired by her heritage and culture in a good way and who cooks with care and passion and discrimination!
I fully believe now that being in close proximity to Mark and Nadia really does bring out the (regressive) worst in people!
Why doesn't she just put safety gates on the doors and bring her own set of pacifiers with her! (Oops I forgot that's what food is for).
While everyone gets over excited about what's your favourite sandwich (short of a picnic) and Nadia gets to outdo her mother (that'll show her) about how she should try a bagel with very thinly sliced red onion or capers because that's what she had at the ivy!(Or some other such nonsense!).
So yes she's in her element is Nadia!
Show off has to know better than her mother (or so she thinks) and has to subtly flatter and control her father by being in control of the food chain!
So same old same old right?
Oh but don't worry because as she tells us she is the common man's Nigella!
Then Mark tells her about he once saw into Nigella's ear to which Nadia (Gets very jealous very quickly it's actually quite funny) and starts muttering away at the camera about how big Nigella's ears are very big (in case you didn't hear it) and then again for added emphasis she says again she has very long ears .. ...So she obviously has to hone in on one tiny detail that she thinks might detract from Nigella's all round and acknowledged beauty!
Ha haserves her right that nagging feeling of jealousy she gets anytime any woman is mentioned that may well make her (Nadia,) look like a pauper by comparison!
That's what you get when your so ultra competitive and view others (especially women) as a potential threat!
I think we can all feel right now how Julia must have felt like?
Caught in the eye of a storm sensing always hidden hostility trying to brush away snide remarks that come from resentment and most of all trying to rise above someone who would gladly drag others down just so she could feel better about herself!
Well what goes around comes around and her spitting resentment is her own self inflicted punishment (As if Nigella would give two hoots!) and a reminder that no matter how gorgeous she thinks she is there will always be others who are more gorgeous!
So there! This being in all probability the only genuine discomfort she ever feels about anything ever and a not so subtle reminder that she ain't all that! (And a bag of potato chips)!
Serves her right.....
Betty certainly didn't think it was worth it as she spent a lot of it scrolling through her phone.I literally only went to give myand saw that pile of who knows what on a wrap, and then I left.

i do wonder if she has real issues with him. I don't understand for example why mank does not go to a gym to workout. also there was a time when he suggested they do boxercise in the park with a trainer, and she was like, no, you can get the stuff on amazon and do it at home. i do think she is worried he will stray......and i do also question the whole he was drinking and he stopped drinking beacuse he received an ultimatum over it, and whether a part where he cheated on her is being purposefully omitted.View attachment 781738View attachment 781739
She can bitch about Nigella all she likes, but it won’t change the fact that, given half a chance, Mark would much rather tuck into her spaghetti than Nadia’s
Thank you @chipmunk yes it really was more than a little nauseating watching that! It's clear that for whatever reason she rules the roost and has been given too much power (dominance) over other family members (and maybe has for a very long time)?I thought it would be the whole family, yes and by that I mean daughters, nephew, sister (singular) her parents all having a nice Sunday roast, welcoming the SUBS to their world of fakery, luring them into a so called perfectly functioning family.

Reading the Nigella section literallly gave me the chills, and my word yes, little Julia having to grow up with little Nitty, a spiteful older sister and then deal with that spite as it matured and manifested into womanhood. Goodness knows what she was put through, no wonder she lashed out with that Tweet; and yet after Julia’s ‘long talk’ with her father which was in an article there was no doubt, Julia was clearly trying to get people to read between the lines, that she was the one who got the telling off, not Nitty.
Nitty seems to have destroyed all the love.
I do wish Julia would be in a fabulous show again, so she could outshine that woman once and for all!!!!
Thank @Misbehaving for your clarity and insight.
I always feel Julia posts because she wants to share, whareas her big sister wants attention and to be dame of the DM sidebars!
lol. the shade.
Julia is telling us how wonderful her friend is; Nitty would be all about the subtext of how wonderful she is!I always feel Julia posts because she wants to share, whareas her big sister wants attention and to be dame of the DM sidebars!
That's what i feel...... Nadia whores out every aspect of her private life and that of those around her, and it's all ok you're wonderful; Julia breaks cover once and it looks like her dad told her off. If nadia wanted the twitter post taken down, she should have made a heartfelt apology. otherwise, Nadim should have been fine with Julia keeping it up. I honestly think there is much worse Julia could have said, and what she did say was dignified and respectful.Goodness knows what she was put through, no wonder she lashed out with that Tweet; and yet after Julia’s ‘long talk’ with her father which was in an article there was no doubt, Julia was clearly trying to get people to read between the lines, that she was the one who got the telling off, not Nitty.
'If you've got the sort of brain that doesn't come back' Nadia Sawalha on CM 26.09.2021They don't have any business sense, they have all these people behind their channel, Gleam, Nadia's agent, Michelle, and the added bonus of LW fans and yet they can't retain membership loyalty. Every live they do is just an ad for their Sunday Show. They need to face facts, it isn't working and no amount of telling people they produce a TV quality show will make it a TV quality show. The proof is in the puddling, the show is shite.
Yes that's an interesting point @afrozenpea and I also wonder if her estrangement and rejection of Julia is not only because of jealousy over Julia's beauty and success as an actress and intelligence but also because she sensed that Mark was attracted to Julia?i do wonder if she has real issues with him. I don't understand for example why mank does not go to a gym to workout. also there was a time when he suggested they do boxercise in the park with a trainer, and she was like, no, you can get the stuff on amazon and do it at home. i do think she is worried he will stray......and i do also question the whole he was drinking and he stopped drinking beacuse he received an ultimatum over it, and whether a part where he cheated on her is being purposefully omitted.
