Summarising the GG is the carthasis I need after reading the never ending merry-go-round of same-y comments over there.
Since my last update Alex deactivated her PPP Insta and moved to her Pretty Pastel Pigeons account. After she was made fun of on GG for that she announced that she would set up a private account and any true fan could apply (via comment) to be admitted to this elite circle. She would update people there on the goings on and show how well everything is with her friends, Tas and mainland.
Of course, someone from GG managed to get in right away and report on the goings on.
Then a couple of people claiming to know Alex from way back popped up on GG and both said that in their experience she was nice at first but no stranger to dropping friends.
Shortly after that someone, and an admin got to it before I could read the whole thing, dropped a strong worded comment, first saying that GG should stop getting up in Alex' private business but then alledging that Dan had an affair with Lucy and thats what did Alex in. A mod deleted the post and messaged the user who claimed they had receipts for what they said but then never got back to the mod. Anyway, GG being GG, it was discussed like it was gospel and not posted by a dubious source. (personally, I don't get the timeline on this, A+D where on a happy holiday in Tas when she decided to stay, that doesn't sound like an affair was her reason to move to Tasmania)
A couple of days ago Alex posted on IG that she had abandoned the private account idea, would give herself a SM time out (only occasionally posting old material on YT) and sort things out *brokenHeartEmoji*. God knows whether she will go through with that or if it was a diversion.
GG is now all 'get well babe'.
There was also a comment by Alex on insta that she is posting old stuff on YT now because her previous editor refused to return her old footage until now after they fell out.
Its the parasocial relationships and laughable attempts of online crowd control that keep me following this mess. Wanting to be cheered by the masses but anyone who criticises is not a true fan. They want to rub the lamp but getting the Genie back in isn't easy. It must also sting that GG is the only place where people are talking about her - hardly anything on the other well known boards.
