I actually used to really like her when I first found her, then started finding her a bit much, read the thread on here about her which made me even less keen on her and now I’ve unfollowed because I can’t understand how she is still following Elle! I’ve unfollowed all the influencers I was following who haven’t unfollowed and I’m really surprised she hasn’t!!

yeah same I liked her until I read this thread too, I think she's genuinely very weird and very insistent that she's normal and just like us regular people (even though she makes a living off of doing disingenuous ads on Instagram) but she's not, she's bought property twice within the last 2 years (in Brighton, which is not cheap) and was able to quit her job to survive off Instagram she is clearly very wealthy which sets her apart from us "normal" people and she's an influencer just like the rest of them and has the same responsibilities as the other influencers with big platforms who are being questioned why they're not speaking up on it
As I said before, she'll probably say she's normal and doesn't spend all her time on the internet keeping up with influencer drama but If she can post, there's no way she hasn't seen SOMETHING about the scandal over the last few days
She’s as fake and disengenuois as they come, I don’t think she realises herself how bad she is.
I think “influencing” is horrendous. It isn’t being influential, it’s usually being misleading. At worst, manipulating people into buying products. Calling someone an “Influencer” is like polishing a curd.
Nelly for me, is among the worst out there. Not because of the stuff she puts out, but because she’s so careful to cultivate an image of herself as being the relatable girl who is just your friend. The way she addresses her followers, calls them angels etc. Is all part of the charade. Whether it’s intentional or not.
but in reality, if there was any respect or “friendliness” there - she wouldn’t outright lie. Lie about her name. Lie about not needing shavers for brand A then miraculously needing to shave again when Brand B comes along with some razors to shill.
the sad thing is, whatever charity she worked for before - was probably contributing a lot more to society than what she’s doing now.
my advice to Nelly/Helena if she ever reads;
• find a job you’re actually passionate about. Receiving freebies and getting paid to post pictures might be fun and thrilling but it isn’t a passion.
• invest In friendships. I wonder if Nellys lack of friendships and close friends contributes to her relying on her insta-audience too much.
• re-evaluate your weird AF relationship. There is something so off about the whole thing. Separate bedrooms in your 20s? That creepy highly sexed charade you put on for the camera? Most people see through it.
• realise your body (whether you feel positive or negative about it) is changeable and only one part of a person, you don’t need to place so much emphasis on your body. It isn’t healthy, no matter how much you tell yourself it is. You aren’t respecting or being “positive” about your body by plastering nudes over insta. You are looking for validation. And that is just as unhealthy IMO as being negative about your body and investing in diet culture. Why not talk about your academic/work achievements? Personal achievements? Why does it all have to come back to your boobs?
• You come across as a very lost person desperately pretending they aren’t. That’s sad in and of itself. But it makes me uncomfortable to see someone pretend otherwise to a fairly large Instagram audience, some of whom will take you at face value. Many of whom will be vulnerable/young/naive etc.

Please, enlighten me - I’ve missed something! I blame being back at work
ETA: Found the tattle thread - wow
Did she really set up her camera and then get back into bed to film herself pretending to wake up?!?!
I would love to know what their arrangements are, like they don’t seem like a normal couple. The high pitched voice she puts on when he’s around, him creeping in her videos, now separate beds.
I know lots of people sleep separately for different reasons but they might as well have stayed in their own houses

Came on here to say the same thing. And pretending to be "struggling" with it as well, like that stretch?? cringeeeDid she really set up her camera and then get back into bed to film herself pretending to wake up?!?!
She set her camera up to eat breakfast too haha
I can’t imagine the ego it takes to film yourself doing mundane tit for Instagram
Tell me about it! lol! I don’t even enjoy FaceTime and try to avoid at all costs!!! Let alone actually setting up the camera to re-enact things I’ve already done to post all over the internet :/ I get such second hand embarrassment! lol!
Yess the pillows I noticed first! And cleaning ‘my room’
I’ve just come on here to comment on the setting her camera up to film herself “waking up” omg stop!!!!! You would have had to get out of bed to set the camera up, then get back in and pretend to wake up! Just STOP IT!!!! I really need to unfollow her, but I can’t, I’m just so mesmerised at how cringe and fake her content is.
I’ve had to unfollow her, the ‘struggling’ to get out of bed stories totally triggered me to then see the set up of the camera of her eating her breakfast. I can’t deal with her. I’ll catch up through you guys!

off topic but have you seen Nelly's shop on depop? Everything on there is stuff she's worn on her stories, gifted to her by brands she's worked with. Surely if these pieces are so nice and good quality you'd keep them, or if not donate them - not sell them on for more money?
The green love honey lingerie is on her depop, when she tried it on and it was ‘stunning’ and ‘wow’ yet she’s selling it
I didn’t think they could sell things they get given as ads but obviously they can.
