The problem is, her “story” is:
• Abused by first husband, had two children with him and took years to flee;
• Met Edie’s dad and had a baby with him but accidentally broke his heart because...
• Met Josh when he was definitely already separated and she was definitely not still pregnant with Edie;
• Fell deeply in love and it’s the best relationship ever, Josh is the best husband, father, stepfather, provider etc etc.
It’s basically selling a lie to all the vulnerable people out there who are trapped in abusive relationships or who have escaped but now don’t trust men and are desperate for their happy ever after. She’s painted this picture that I used to believe too. That even victims of domestic abuse can one day find their prince, regardless of how damaged they are by past experiences, no matter their flaws, and who cares how many children they have from various different marriages, it all just works out nicely in the end.
The reality is very different. She was in a mutually abusive relationship, she once planned to kill her first husband, she finally left and used Edie’s dad because he had money and it was a decent step up from being a single mum, she stalked Josh for years, for as long as she’d known his sister, and called his mum Mummy, telling her she would marry her son one day. She made her move when she knew that Josh was at his most vulnerable and she didn’t think about anyone but herself. Not tiny baby Edie, not her dad, not any of the other four children involved. She moved Josh AND his sons in with her before Edie was 6 months old and slowly but surely chipped away at his confidence until she had him where she wanted. She now makes a living stealing from strangers and selling their children on Instagram, Josh seems to have lost the career he loved and drinks too much to compensate. None of the kids have any respect for him or indeed any boundaries whatsoever.
So yeah, keep selling your fairytale story, Rach, we need more people like you
It is more than ok to go from having nothing, living in a refuge to then having absolutely everything and living a better life. I for one, champion anyone who gets to turn their life around like that. However, I don’t champion it when the person doing it will do the following:
*Take PayPal donations and never answer the question to where the money has been spent but instead, show us all the luxuries she has brought even knowing she is under suspicion.
*Act as a DV expert and ambassador then write in her book that she was guilty of DV towards him too and in front of the children, then spend every day playing the victim and playing it well enough to gain a platform on social media that she later abuses.
*Patronise anyone who comes to her to seek help with a “that’s tit hun” but offer a swipe up a £1 fluffy cloud.
*Forget that her target audience and USP are normal women who have likely experience DV or potentially still do yet continuously post links or photos that have no prior trigger warning. Then straight after, try to sell a product.
*Declare on social media that if a refuge isn’t nice, chances are, you’ll go back to your home because it’s full of nice things and creature comforts - including your violent partner. Likely putting women close to being brave enough to flee off ever leaving because they will worry about making it feel like home for the children they take with them. Becuase Rachel said so.
*Constantly talks about being an abandoned child and belittles her Mum for it on social media as often as she can even when repairing that relationship yet we do not know the reasons her Mum left, affair? DV? Mental Health? None of us know but are all expected to Wade in and judge her at every given chance.
*Talks about child poverty and food waste yet shows us their fancy meals daily, their constant dining out, the food they throw away and shows us all how she can afford to shop in M&S yet will only do a paid advert for another store and pretend to be a loyal customer and only shop where she’s paid. Never tells us if she pops a few tins in the store food bank drop offs though does she?
*Knowing what women in refuges need, NEVER actually sends anything of real use or value out to them. Only £5 vegan deodorants and cotton clouds, not to mention the rescue remedy that will no doubt fix the fear these women will leave with daily.
*Over exposes her children, step children, family children and friends children without care or consideration, if she can cash in on them, she will. Will expose them in all manner of situations, half naked, asleep, when in danger, when upset, when bullied or even send random strangers court documents exposing her children’s most initiate thoughts and harrowing experiences.
*Will set upon anyone who dares to argue against her and will even get her huns to join in too.
*Break every rule possible during a pandemic but happily clapped every Thursday to say thank you to the NHS.
*Break every safeguarding rule possible.
*Claim to support refuges and be an ambassador yet bully her own husband publicly and speak to him in a verbally abusing manner every day whilst recording it for 200k to see and find entertaining.
*Repeatedly share links to important issues when she can be bothered but doesn’t do her research or talk about these issues with the same passion in which she talks about a lonely naked bean.
*Encourage complete strangers to approach her children in public and then post it on social media.
The list goes on, and on
Rachel and Joyce celebrated their anniversary by staying in an expensive hotel for the night where they had a posh meal and Rachel got pissed on pornstar martinis she doesn’t drink though
they then had a bath together and she shared the most horrific vomit inducing picture of said bath time and left us all scarred for life. Joyce bought her a £400 leather jacket in the sale.She thinks the children who are starving and get FSM parents should take them to m&s cafe and spend their last £4 on an adult meal to get a free child meal, because that’s the sort of thing she would have done as a treat for her kids when she was earning £25k living in a needle infested bedsit skint.
Oh and where is the PayPal money gone?
although haven’t read it all properly yet, I just skim read it x
