I found it all very strange, but the thing that stood out to me the most was the way in which she was speaking and her whole voice and demeanour. You NEVER saw this personality or her speaking this way with Joe. That’s what was immediately noticeable to me. When she interacted with Joe on camera it was always very sweet, sing-song, smiley. Now, you could say that was just a different side to her personality... But never in the three years she had Joe on her channel did she ever act the way she did in this video.
Her sitting and talking to Jamie was a completely different personality— cap on, lower voice, chill and serious vibes. Seriously, watch that again and you realize she never showed that side with Joe. Now, is it that this is the more genuine and relaxed version of Niomi? Maybe! And maybe she is more comfortable with him and able to show her true self… who knows.
But then the conversation was WEIRD. She talks about how she went off the pill for a time and didn’t immediately go back on something… Jamie is like, this shows that you’re rebellious, etc. First of all, Jamie? Drop the faux psychologist act. It’s hugely embarrassing and cringey at your big age, you have no idea what you’re talking about, and you have literally no insight into what it means to be a woman navigating her reproductive health. Shut the entire duck up.
But the creepy thing about it was when he said that the way Niomi looked at him like completely accepting what he said. You can see why Niomi is ‘vulnerable’ to men like this. She definitely has that side where she needs to believe she is special and very different and interesting. Jamie validates this for her even though he talks complete bullshit that plenty of people would laugh at. Niomi yearns for this kind of validation though. And so someone like Jamie can come in and act like an expert and tell her how rebellious and different and unique she is. But that also makes her then start to believe and rely on him and what he tells her she should be like.
I do think Niomi genuinely has real feelings for him unlike Bradley. It was SO obvious with Bradley that it was a gross rebound that she was trying to make into a thing. I think this is more real (whether its healthy is another thing) but it’s concerning that she is once again bringing another man into her channel and making him such a centre of her life and career.
