Rachel Gorry

[ahtisyourself]

Why doesn’t she get a job to keep herself busy?? Just saying

Because maybe, seeing as she is now the only parent in her children’s lives and they’ve all been through the shitter in the last year, she would like to be at home more with them, be able to bring them and collect them from school and be more present for them in the first few months since losing their dad? If she can make a living through a few paid ads on Instagram then why not? As long as they’re properly declared then leave her off.

Considering she said it was so hard when Daniels palliative team had to turn up in full ppe while he was dying, his family and friends couldn't visit etc because of covid. Then you would think shed be more aware of the dangers and respect other ppls health too.. Seriously like, she's nothing like what she portrayed herself to be and has looks to me like maybe half of it was orchestrated by her pr to cash in.. Can't believe he's only 6 mths gone and this is what's she's evolved into. Spitting in the face of all the sick and front line workers too even though she availed if their care for Daniel

Should this be in the rave section as I honestly can't see how anyone could have a problem with her.. she is one of my fav accounts

I didnt want to comment on this thread and I don't agree with a lot of the criticism around how she grieves. Grief is individual, no two people react the same and is affected by so many factors. So it's nobodies place to comment on how it has affected her. I do believe she loves and misses him massively and maybe this is her way of coping. I don't presume to know her or what she goes through so I can't in good conscious comment on it.
That however also makes me form the opinion that she shouldn't use this platform to show people what grief looks like. Her grief is not the same as my grief, your grief, or her children's grief and she is in no way trained or qualified to help anyone in this capacity.

This is it, her grief is her experience, and while i dont agree with the children being exposed to all of the online stuff, how she chooses to grieve is her own business. But the criticism of her trip to Belfast is something I do agree with

It is interesting that you mention about her being, for want of a better word, a sort of spokesperson on grief.

Her posting videos of herself on a bus and in hotel rooms with a bunch of strangers, with no masks or distancing, for something as trivial as a PR event, is quite frankly an insult to the people who are currently grieving while respecting the covid restrictions.
She is more than entitled to post all of that and to go about her life however she sees fit, but it is insulting to do so whilst positioning herself as some kind of source of support and inspiration for those currently experiencing loss and grieving during lockdown.

Her videos from that event are an insult to any person who was unable to grieve in the way they wanted and needed. An insult to those who bravely put their own wants and needs aside in a time of heartache, for the greater good. An insult to anybody who couldn't visit family members in their final hours due to restrictions. And the biggest insult to anybody who has lost someone to covid. For her to attend that event, post videos and pictures of it, and then go on Instagram live to talk about her own grieving process, while so many have had basic human comforts taken from them while grieving, or even worse have had people taken from them, because of the pathetic type of behaviour we witnessed at that event.... its shameful.

The letter was to gain more sympathy, which will gain more freebies

Have to agree i unfollowed her a long time ago. I find her totally disrespectful. I lost my brother 9 months ago unexpectedly total shock to the family. Still to this day i’ve not posted anything regarding him for a number of reasons to give us time as a family to process the shock of it and i most certainly didn’t use his death to gain approval from strangers. I don’t get these kind of people. I can honestly say if my brothers wife or kids that are older than Rachel’s were carrying on to the extent she is i’d be after pulling on them long and ever ago. I’m not a fan of Brian’s podcast but i did listen to everything eileen’s and can honestly say i felt that woman’s pain and my heart broke for her. I listened to half of Rachel turned it off playing on the death of her husband to get famous that’s my opinion. I wouldn’t wish what she is going through on my worst enemy but she needs to stop trying to live off Daniels untimely death. Also be a bit more respectful to his family instead of thinking of her own ego. This might sound ignorant and let me be clear now before someone leaches onto me she should be grateful that they had time to do things write letters get teddy bears done and made memories some people aren’t that lucky. She’s not the only person to ever have lost someone young.

I watched Rachel from pretty early on. I was heartbroken for her and the kids. My sister lost her 37 year old husband in similar circumstances 3 years go. They had a 1 year old baby.
To be honest that link was probably what drew me to her account at first but with all the over sharing, showing her deceased husbands hand, the grave, the kids all the time and all the ads I felt very uncomfortable and unfollowed. As for the amount of people saying that they don't mind the ads as it allows her to be at home with the kids. She is in a better financial position that most influencers as her mortgage would have been cleared and I would be pretty confident that they would also have had a separate life policy that would have paid out a substantial amount.
To be honest I think she knows exactly what she is doing and is a lot more savvy than most think. Of course she is grieving and everybody's grief is different but I don't think showing the kids is a good move.

I feel like an awful bitch saying this, but I feel she’s gonna come on and use the husbands 6 month anniversary to deflect from the bperfect drama.. I really hope I’m wrong..

 

[LouLouMarie]

I, like many others here have been following Rachel since the early days long before she lost her husband. I, like many others also sent her a long message offering my condolences and support. I never got a reply or like, but I thought God help her, she’s grieving.
I was a bit miffed when I noticed she would re-post messages from ”Insta famous” huns but no ordinary folk or people like me who work in the health system or had similar experience to her.
The pouring of alcohol on Daniels grave when Liverpool won the Champions League finished it for me.

I think she needs to get away from Andrea Roche and do her own thing. I’m disappointed in her travelling to Belfast for a stupid frivolous promotion. We are under so much pressure in work now with the numbers flying up again and to watch these idiots falling all over each other has turned my stomach.

 

[Cammyk]

Bit annoying that Claire has mentioned the other influencers but not Rachel. She doesn't get a pass on this I'm afraid. She is just as guilty as the rest.

 

[Flower45]

Thank you! Thought I was the only one who thought this highly strange thing to do. Plus the one he left her actually had a bit of class to it. Just another shred of proof of how actually shallow she really is. She loved the lifestyle he gave her but I’d say now that’s where it began and ended for her. She doesn’t love anyone but herself. She’s the definition of narcissistic behaviour

I totally and utterly disagree. She was obviously mad about him! They were together since they were teens so I don't agree on any level that she was just out for whst he could give her. Its actually a horrible thing to say. They lived in a mobile home while their first house was being built, a lot of young people could learn by them.

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth how many people are only delighted because of Belfast to drag up all sorts and be really nasty.

 

[Rozy76]

listen.. they ALL-KNOW what there at .. I'm a follower for a while now. I used to message Rachel at 1st,always got a reply.It used to annoy me so much how she would put only put the" insta huns " messages up on her stories. I myself am grieving, 6 months now. My heartache happened not long after Daniel but ours was sudden .. And I always said that . You would pour your heart out .. and nothing ?.nothing in reply . But before the "ad#and freebies she would. Sicken your shite to be honest. There is a lot more on insta that deserve more following. I don't begrudge anyone making a few bob . But Im really gone off her and a lot more. They seem to forget that's its us .. the average Joe, doing our best, that has them where they are . They all need a fuckin massive dose of reality... gob shites?!!!!!

 

[Leaha20]

Tomorrow now will be the tears, "just to show yiz like I know it looked like was havin a ball nal but I wasn't doing good atall like so just to remind yiz I was in bits so never to take instagram too seriously and what ya see"
Okay sorry if that sounds mean but shes getting so predictable.
"Yas have me in stitches the messages I do get"

Her poor poor girls. They all look so sad and scared all of the time. Not wanting a phone put in there face.

 

[Hellsbells2020]

900+ cases yesterday, 700+ today up north, the silence is deafening in relation to Friday night, they give out and say plenty about the students, the protesters, funerals, house parties, communion parties, but now they are in the spotlight, nothing, silence, it’s insulting, it’s a slap in the face, it’s greed at its highest, calling them “staff” essential work???? Give me a break! Essential is the doctors, nurses, healthcare, cleaners, shop workers, teachers, delivery drivers to name but only a few, not friggin flogging make up and tan, I don’t care how “incredible” “surreal” or “great opportunity” or showing off to family........I am so sickened by it all, absolutely disgusted and sickened, the Rachel Gorry thing just mesmerises me altogether, I don’t understand or get it at all why she would think it was appropriate to go??? I’m sick of the whole lot of them, the fake laughing, the ads, the PR drops, the kissing each other’s tear ends tagging each other, good dose of fucking cop on now please

 

[Airy-fairy]

It's like a QVC ad now.
She does what she does well but I do think family are jumping on for the ride now.
Someone said on another thread that his family aren't liking it?

 

[Jennymac]

Well looking at her stories in belfast today her and all of them with her are a disgrace , all on that bus no social distancing while the numbers rise here in Dublin

 

[hubbub1]

I'd be happy never to see a voduz or bperfect ad again

 

[Teapot29]

Northern ireland is so bad for covid, within those 6 counties the numbers arnt far behind the rest of the 26 in ireland, and the queue for the store is massive!

I live in Belfast , I avoided castlecourt today for that reason (shopping center of the launch ) like wdf was that shit show ! A pandemic like , could they not hype up the brand online as usual , really disappointed in Rachel an Denise thought they actually had a clue ! We all knew Ellie Kelly couldn’t give a hairy fck anyway

 

[Sazmac]

Short and sweet new thread title: Gorry wont say sorry!

 

[RaMOANa]

Am I the only one that is thinking these Insta huns do not live in the real world? Belfast and many other parts of the country are verging on increased restrictions and they are partying for a fake tan and make up.... to go where exactly? Media are shaming the youth constantly this lot are apparently adults.

unfollowed!!!

 

[Steel Magnolia]

Really? Il stand by it 100% what would she be if daniel didnt die?? Plain ol boring mrs gorry struggling like rest of us. She cashed in on it an uses the situation to make gains.
She plays to the audience and yer suckers for a sob story so let's all feel sorry for rachel the only person to have ever lost a loved one how many of ye lost a loved one ? Did ye take to insta fame an cry crocodile tears. I lost someone extremely close to me 3mths ago. I know what real grief is

You're going to very extreme levels here. Your attack feels too personal. You sound so bitter!
