I think she’s just performed a classic PR move - focus on some not nice comments (and elaborate to make them sound a lot worse and/or just make some up ), mention trolling, stalking, bullying, stress, anxiety, depression etc and totally detract from the legitimate concerns about underhand behaviour that were being raised to try and get the focus away. It’s interesting that she still hasn’t addressed the PayPal donations query and provided information as to where they have been spent or addressed concerns about safeguarding and why she has previously put her followers in potentially dangerous situations.
She’s not the only ‘influencer’ who has done this PR move recently. Mrs Meldrum has done the exact same and has so far avoided responding about the racist KKK shambles she was involved in and blatant lies about ads/gifts (i don’t follow her though so don’t know lots of detail).
I’m not denying that there are comments that are awful & hurtful to read and that it has caused them stress, anxiety etc . ‘Influencers’ need to accept some responsibility for this though - they expose their children and their life’s online on a daily basis for money. It the job that they decided to have yet they don’t want people to comment on their life unless it’s positive. On a basic level, it’s like having an appraisal in work but demanding that only good things are said about you and threatening to lodge a grievance if they’re not.
I think the purpose of Moral Queens was to focus solely on integrity issues (in the case of PTWM - PayPal donations, safeguarding concerns and DA training) so that people couldn’t get distracted by gossip and so the influencer couldn’t dodge the issues by referring to trolls and nasty comments which is all too easy to do when concerns are raised on Tattle. I think in hindsight, Keels mentioned the page too soon and should have included other influencers on there so it didn’t just focus on PTWM.
For all her anti-bullying stuff that she comes out with, PTWM purposely set the wolves on a small group of women by naming them & tagging them knowing what would happen. I find it strange that she she showed a screenshot of some of Edie’s family liking the Moral Queens page on Insta. They liked a page - they didn’t comment or write abuse to my knowledge. The post about the disabled child at Seb’s school as been liked more than 12k times and shared more than 250 times. It’s awful that her followers can see nothing wrong with this.
Some of her followers can be more abusive than anyone in this thread- hoping we die, namecalling etc yet they or PTWM can’t see the irony or hypocrisy in what they’re doing. One person made a comment on PTWMs photo of her with Josh with is hand round her neck that it could be triggering for DA victims and she was crucified within minutes by her cult members. PTWM knows what they’re like and in dealing with the situation she has actively encouraged it and purposely encouraged online abuse and bullying in the way she has handled it. I think it’s a disgrace that she is an Ambassador for Kidscape judging by the way she conducts herself.
PTWM going on about her cult members getting deleted within minutes when they join Tattle to defend her, yet every follower
who has asked PTWM was their money has been spent on has also had their comment deleted by her. Hypocrisy again.
However, all people are talking about is how awful Tattle is because they wanted PTWM’s baby dead (didn’t happen to my knowledge) - they’re not talking about why there is no transparency as to where people’s PayPal donations have been spent, why she isn’t a registered charity if she’s wanting to give the money to good causes and what DA safeguarding practices are in place, if any, or why there are so many inconsistencies in the things that she says or writes about. All of which the threads have been mainly about - they haven’t been to abuse her. Predictable but well done PTWM
