I heard that both Sam and Michelle have unfollowed Alex on insta.
She's also now changed her go-fund me description from "setting up a bird sanctuary" to "fund me to rescue birds personally"
She says she is a "new person" from the "body-hating" woman she was who "got plastic surgery"... even though she only got her boobs done just a couple of months ago.

She'll be divorced by June 2023.

Just looked and they’ve definitely unfollowed, although it seems all the tags have also been removed from Alex’s post. I’m not well versed on instgram, is this normal or is it possible that Alex actually blocked them?!

Very strange behaviour going on here. For those that still watch her videos, has she mentioned anything about this? Friends can have a falling out but this seems very dramatic, I wonder if they tried to stand in and tell her she needs to get some help and she’s wigged out and cut them off.

AFAIK the only mentions of Sam have been the snide comments in videos about him not visiting her in Tassie yet - because everyone should just drop everything to attend to her bizarre whims that and the comments on Insta about ‘finding your true friends’ or whatever

Her new friends seem weird. I have a 'cult' feeling kinda

Oh same. I think the fact most of them are ‘fans’ is very obvious - they want her to like them for clout. Dropping the friends who’ll call you out and help you when you’re spiralling for a bunch of yes-people is textbook breakdown behaviour, in my experience.

There's a really weird power dynamic at play here with the new friends being fans (as in, fans that are fan enough to want to meet her). It's hard to describe, but naturally she is on a pedestal and idolised, they think they know her well, but.... they don't. They've only seen what she wants to put out, her own filtered version of events and self-reported bad traits if they have spoken over Discord or whatever. Very different to actually knowing someone, getting past the 'friendship honeymoon' stage, and seeing the real flaws, first hand. They are all after her approval, lol, and they're making wacky decisions, like letting this new person be their boss, be in their homes etc.

Also - if she has done this already (given up her old life for shiny new life) she will do it again when she gets bored

Don't blame her husband for not wanting to move yet. I'm sure Michelle was/is living at her house.

I am not at all surprised that she hasn't kept/couldn't keep up with the Thriftmas videos. In the comments to one of her videos she said that PPP was a character and now we're getting the real Alex. Sounds a bit Caroline Calloway maybe? Lets see how keen her subscribers are on that (or the horrible editing on her latest offerings).
Some of the new friends popping up in the comments to defend her life choices.

Her latest story is four pictures of Nicole Kidman celebrating post divorce

And she's deleted it again. Maybe because there were so many nice comments about Dan on her latest video?
I have to admit, I am really curious now.

That’s what I was thinking, if they had split surely she’d have edited out telling him about it

Well by the looks of things she’s officially moved into a home in Tasmania. No mention of Dan, just a comment about how her ‘new friends’ have ‘healed her broken soul’.

There’s a small part of me that still hopes this is her making sound decisions and we’re just not seeing everything that’s going on but this really is so concerning. And she’s not exactly shy about sharing everything online so I find it hard to believe she’s been keeping anything back. I’m truly horrified at the idea that she’s going to ‘snap out of it’ at some point and realise she’s burned bridges with everyone who truly knows and loves her and ruined her life as a result of a mental break.

I also find her comments that her ‘new friends’ know the real her absolutely laughable. So the friends she’s had since before she was a YouTuber - some of who she’s known since grade school - don’t know the real her but some fans of her channel who’ve brought their parasocial relationship with her into the offline world do? Sure, Alex. Keep telling yourself that darl.

I've watched Alex's content for a good while now but the same as you guys, she's become absolutely unbearable recently. Very much spoilt child vibes and the fan/friend dynamic is also super weird to me too.

I didn't know about Sam not being a visible online friend any more (a pretty clear indication that he isn't counted as a "real-life" friend any more either) and I definitely think she'll leave Dan and start her own little bird fancier commune in where ever it is she lives now.

How far did she actually move from "home"?!

I been waiting for a thread to pop up on tattle for Alex, i been using an old gossip site , I unfollowed a while back because it was getting too much and I couldn’t watch anymore. I check up every now and then and it’s like wtf is happening?!

 

[Yupyupyup]

Tell you what, if this new “Alex” is the real her like she says it is and not “PrettPastelPlease” the character then I’m glad I unsubscribed about a year ago. She’s insufferable.

 

[Natasha_af]

I've been wanting a thread to open up for her for so long... Especially recently. I was watching all of her 100 days of thrifted parcels, and I never knew to what extent she was having a breakdown. I remember watching her drunk hair dying videos and knowing that something definitely wasn't right, but she's giving off such strange vibes at the moment. Talking about how she's that depressed she doesn't eat or brush her teeth, barely getting any sleep or showering, and saying Dan has been so supportive. Don't get me wrong, he comes across as a very gentle and patient guy, but I can only imagine the strains that's put on their marriage. And now she's randomly picked up and moved to Tasmania? And he hasn't come along? It seems she is only thinking of herself and not the impact her actions has on him. I get it she is struggling with mental health, but you still have responsibilities to your marriage... Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I was so pleased for her getting out of her rift after getting her diagnosis. And I was onboard with it being quite a shock to her system, but her content and personality seemed to become solely "her diagnosis". Goodness knows what she was like to be around in real life, as she seemed to morph into someone completely different and then everything revolved around that.

Great, really happy for you, but can we talk about something else sometimes? Not everything has to be about you having ADHD. Plenty of people do. It's like when people get pregnant, then that's their personality forever. HOLD THE PRESS * First person to ever be diagnosed with ADHD understands themselves a bit better. * bleeping eye roll and yawn

 

[tentotwo]

So do we reckon she’s moved on to Claye?

I wouldn't be surprised, he seems like a cross between Dan and Sam, doesn't he? Not a nice thing to say, but this is the most interesting she's been for while, and there are a few tasty snippets on her guru gossiper thread.

 

[tentotwo]

So in the recent Side Quest vid she makes a remark about luring Daniel and Caitlyn to Tasmania - how deluded is this woman? Daniel is her husband and is clearly putting up with a lot from her but he can’t magically have a job in Tassie if one doesn’t exist. And the idea that her friends will all just follow her there…. I can’t decide if that’s more deluded, self centred or both. Alex just because you’ve decided you can only be happy in Tasmania doesn’t mean everyone in your life has to move there because of your whim, and if you seriously think they DO then frankly you’re beyond help.

Surely it has to be mental illness? I mean I know to have a career in social media you have to have some degree of a narcissistic disorder but Christ she hits it out the park
