I like following her, and often just skip past the content that bothers me. Those questions just irked me as she kept saying she worked hard, almost implying those who don’t have luxury items don’t work hard!
Agree, she kept insisting the fact that she worked hard meant she wasn't inherently privileged? Like I'm not doubting she does work hard but her whole "grew up in a hard working class family" not with privilege. Sis, that doesn't mean you aren't privileged. And the whole "self made privilege" okay but you also have privileges that aren't self made, they're inherent?!?
Privilege is about the things that you didn't have to deal with that would have made things harder - I.e. Growing up with with 2 parents, growing up not having to go hungry, going to a well-resourced school as opposed to a lower decile school (making an assumption here but that would be an example of a privilege). None of those things mean she doesn't work hard now but she needs to acknowledge there are aspects of her upbringing and life that *are* privileges, and indeed, some of those privileges may be what helps her to work so hard (e.g. being in good health, that's another privilege).
Also her whole "Tattlers are mentally ill" thing. Aight hun. I hate how mental illness is thrown around these days, including as a response for people doing something someone else doesn't like (admittedly I've labelled particular behaviours from influencers as unhinged before but I can't necessarily draw total conclusions about their mental state or diagnoses as a result). Last time I checked she worked in the jewellery business and wasn't a registered psych so maybe she should just stick to the diamonds instead of diagnosing people on the Internet. (and that's not meant as an insult to her current job, nothing wrong with her job but maybe she should stay in her lane)
