Saffron Barker #6 Quarantining is pretend, did I tell you that I have a boyfriend?

[idk2]

”I would never share it for that reason”
....
*puts up screenshot just to tell everyone she does a lot for charities and she has donated*
Whaat

Cant stand her but her point rings true.

Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

The way these Youtubers are going on, you’d think they’ve never been on holiday before. Why do they need another holiday in a pandemic?!

 

[MangoFandango]

Well one thing for sure, our Saff is definitely tone deaf...

 

[Moogytoodles]

She’s dyslexic. So abit rude

in fairness this person might not have known,I didn’t know. Also Wendy works for her, so it’s not out of reach for her to get her stories proof read, it would be expected of her if she worked professionally. At the end of the day it’s her job, we all need help with some things, for example I have autism, it’s not an excuse to do your work poorly when you have the opportunity to improve

i'm sorry but i am fucking fuming about saffron pretending 'her life could be so different' because she had a 'hearing scare'. i've been hard of hearing/partially deaf since i was born and it affects my life DAILY, but i am not fully deaf and i am not a BSL user. i am so grateful for even having the ability to hear. I WOULD NEVER sit and beg people for sympathy saying 'oh i could have been fully deaf!', and i wouldn't be surprised if fully deaf people found this completely offensive, because newsflash: DEAF PEOPLE'S LIVES AREN'T 'SO DIFFERENT', as if they're fucking aliens.

they're people. just like saffron would be, deaf or not. i don't see deaf people making a documentary making money off of how they could have been able to hear, and their life could have been 'so different'!!!

most people i know when they were younger had an abnormal hearing test and they then think that they're hard of hearing. but later find out that they aren't, but they don't go round saying their life could've been so different and making money off of it. sorry but this is completely and LITERALLY tone deaf.

 

[Melier]

I find it hilarious that she puts throwback as if it’s a really old photo when they’ve only been together about 3 months

 

[Emily1346]

She must be mentally and physically exhausted wanting this 'perfect body'; she wants to be slim but then have this big booty, big boobs, and built calves.

The fact she said “what’s your fave thing about me” and he was about to reel off the “kind, thoughtful, caring” bullshit, but she spun it round and said “FaVE ThInG On My ApPeaRanCe”

 

[Gtammy9]

Great hun. Go buy it then and the bag too? Seeing as you earn more than enough to afford it and recently bought a huge house. Makes me so mad.. Can she make it any more obvious that she’s begging for a freebie?!

View attachment 301654Literally never heard her talk about that brand

i can’t stand her as a fitness person, she needs to fuck off and let this phase die

 

[Yukon909]

Literally never heard her talk about that brand

 

[whatstheteab]

loool, wtf, why bother wearing the masks and then hugging someone?

Wendy really is the epitome of a facebook mum. Her social media makes me want to die from the level of cringe.

 

[Melier]

She’s currently in Milan but keeping it hush on her Instagram

Funny that she couldn’t go to Greece with Ana though! Definitely the friend who ditches their friends for a boyfriend

 

[elevenxoxo]

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere ...

It irritates me so much how she is facing the camera to get one angle of her face - it looks so unnatural and uncomfortable

 

[Gtammy9]

Think Tyler has a thing for Libby. He’s literally liked all her photos

Also I’m shocked at how dead this thread is compared to Ana’s

 

[StephenTJackson]

Saffron sounds as controlling around food, not just for herself but Tyler as well, as Niomi Smart seems. And she also seemed to suck the life out of her fiance Joe as well. And that ended up in a break up.

If Saffron is this controlling or passive aggressive about food and Tyler's food intake especially, they will never last. He will get his Insta followers and then run.

I see your point, It’s just the fact she never “promotes” (if that’s the right word) any charities. With the platform she has, if she was as passionate as she’s making out to be, she’d be working with them in a partnership I’m sure, not promoting all the big brands all the time. I’ve never seen her post anything about MIND, CALM, Samaritans, Great oldmind street hospital etc. She doesn’t have to say “I donated to these charities” but I’ve seen so many other influencers put the word out about them. She might well donate behind closed doors and that’s fair enough if I was wrong to assume she doesn’t, but I’m just saying that with a platform that big, you’d think she’d be getting the word out every now and again.

She has.
Last xmas and all the ones I've watched her, she's mentioned they do the Xmas "fill a shoebox" for charity and one vlog was centred just around her and her mum shopping for the boxes, ordering essential things like socks, thermals, chocolate etc for them. She's also advocated for Dementia and Alzheimers charities during the marathon and has posted two videos in relation to them leading up to the marathon. I'm not her biggest fan but I dont think she's as heartless as people make her out to be. She might not have done mental health charities but instead charities that mean something personally to her or her family. I don't think anyone should be judged on charity and how much they give and how much they show they give as at the end of the day, by her showing the charity, its giving them some exposure and hopefully her minions might donate bc their queen bee supports it.
I'm sure she's done something with Great Ormand Street but I dont remember tbh and could be wrong about that one.

TW: Saffron's relationship with food as shown in her videos

I have noticed her extremely disordered view of eating for years and years, but the recent video (boyfriend night routine) is a really scary example and has prompted me to say something. This will be a long post as I've wanted to talk about this for a while - I'm really shocked that more people are not picking up on this in these threads. Observations just from one video:

"Pizza":
- "We decided to make healthy pizzas" Tyler interrupts - "Saffron decided..."
- She eats the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day, sometimes has the same thing twice for lunch and dinner - screams of a restrictive diet and the idea of "safe" foods.
- "So we're actually making healthy pizzas" - REAL pizza is not a "bad" food. Obviously not a healthy idea to have one for every meal every day of the week, but a pizza now and then is absolutely healthy and normal eating behaviour.
- "These are my favourite wraps" - clearly nothing to do with the taste, these wraps taste of absolutely nothing and are weirdly plasticky and hard, I've had them. But she "looooves them so much guys" - I wonder why? - because they are 90 calories. The extra 110 calories in regular, 200 calorie wraps that actually taste of something and have substance are not going to ruin your calorie deficit Saffron.
- Tyler: "The best part of our shop was this though!" - The chocolate that Tyler bought (bless him, probably dying for some actual calories/sugar) was hidden off-camera, away from the carrier bag of "shopping" that Saffron showed the camera. - there is a look of fear on Saffron's face at 3:12 when Tyler is going to "expose" the chocolate and then a reprimanding tone of voice and look, raised eyebrows and almost slight roll of the eyes at 3:15 when she says: "Oh yeah, Tyler got snacks..." - making it clear that she doesn't "need" any snacks because this 90 calorie wrap topped with spinach and some morsels of unseasoned chicken is sooo filling you guys. Very weird of her to seem to want to absolve blame of "snacking" and to make Tyler seem excessive/indulgent for buying a bar of chocolate after making a 20+ year old adult man a 300 calorie "dish" for dinner (I still can't believe she called it that).
- "So it's more filling, we're going to add spinach" - if you want to be full, stop telling your viewers to be scared of carbs and just order an f-ing dominos. Or make a delicious homemade pizza with homemade dough.
- Saffron "This is also the quickest thing you can ever make". Tyler "The quickest thing is McDonald's" - shows where his mind is... we all crave McDonald's/fast food when we're absolutely starving/deprived of carbs.
- "I actually don't like spinach" - uhh, don't buy it then? There are so many vegetables out there, pick what you enjoy - food you like is good for you. But she forces herself to eat it because it's "sooooo filling you guys"........ Oh yeah, we all know those evenings where we're slumped out on the couch and can barely move because we've eaten so much fucking spinach.
- "It's not my go-to kind of pizza, but yeah, it's not bad" - Tyler looks depressed. Someone please order this kid a dominos.
- Next clip "Dinner was honestlyyy JUST BANGINGGGG" - how is a carbless wrap with unseasoned tomato puree, spinach and chicken in any way BANGING? it's DEPRESSING and restrictive.
- "The perfect type of full" - what, starving? There. is. no. perfect. type. of. full. The perfect type of full is whenever you feel happy and satisfied.
- "It's such a good dinner because it's not like, heavy in your stomach. I just feel great, anyways..." - Heavy, rich and indulgent meals are nothing to be afraid of and should not be shamed - for example, the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after a roast dinner on a Sunday with your family is a HAPPY one and ALSO makes you feel "great" - fullness from a dinner with enough carbohydrates and calories to satisfy you is nothing to be ashamed of and does not make it a "bad" dinner.

Hot chocolates:

- "I have become obsessed with hot chocolates recently. This is the hot chocolate I use, it's sooooooo GOOD I can't even tell you, so this is what we're going to be HAVING!" - immediately the most obvious thing on the packaging is the huge number "40" (40 calories per serving). Sigh.
- "If I had it with all milk it probably would taste nicer, but I actually have one with half water and half milk, because it's like before I go to bed as well I don't like having a really full stomach" - Allow. yourself. to. enjoy. what. tastes. good. There is again NOTHING wrong with ending the day feeling full and satisfied - and the 40 calories in 100ml of almond milk and 100ml of water is not going to make ANY difference compared to having 80 calories in 200ml of almond milk. The fact that she shies away from even the smallest amounts of calorie difference is scary - watch all the kids watching now ask their parents for half almond milk and half water because "Saffy B" is having it.
- Tyler is making a snack - I'd be less surprised if you told me Tyler had just landed on the moon. That boy must be RAVENOUS.
- "I kinda wish we had cream, but I'm not even going to do that to myself. I'll feel so sick before bed." - Imagine the impact this could have - young girls that normally enjoy a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, every kid's favourite, now scared that it will make them feel "so sick" and have such a full stomach before bed. So damaging.
- Tyler - chocolate, strawberries, marshmallows. Saffron - strawberries and adds one marshmallow to her mug "for the road" - clearly a fear food - this girl needs to start letting herself enjoy the foods she likes the taste of rather than force-feeding herself spinach.


I admire Saffron's approach to fitness - she is an incredibly fit and healthy young woman. And of course, in a regular context, making healthy, sustainable swaps like a side salad instead of a side of chips, or baking things instead of deep-frying them, is absolutely a recommended thing to do and is definitely beneficial. What it does not mean is that you cannot enjoy these things in moderation - like having a takeaway pizza on a cosy night in with your boyfriend. Cutting out and even shaming ALL normal carbs and fats from your diet is scary and toxic behaviour. And the performative, theatrical, high-pitched voice that she puts on when talking about these INNNSANE "dishes" that she has fashioned out of tasteless, substance-less low-calorie products is SCARY, almost as if she is trying to convince herself when she knows that the food she is eating tastes like utter shit but believes that it is all she can eat or she will be "fat", so has to tell herself it's amazing until she believes it. I am not implying that Saffron has an eating disorder, these forums are no place to diagnose anyone, but it is undeniable that she is showing and actively endorsing a toxic view of food as either good or bad, leaving you either comfortable or "feeling so sick/with such a full stomach", to millions of impressionable young girls. It is mindblowing to me that nobody in her circle has called her out on this. If that were my daughter I'd be scared and worried for her. She said a few videos ago that she needed to really work on her fitness levels because of a TV opportunity coming up - fair enough, I was expecting something like SAS, Who Dares Wins. Now we know it's the Circle - a show where you sit in an apartment all day for a month/however long. She is clearly restricting her diet because she wants to lose weight for this TV appearance. Saffron - you're a healthy, young woman with a beautiful, toned figure. You do NOT need to lose weight. Please love yourself as you are, and enjoy a pizza with your boyfriend. Rant over.

This this this this.
As someone with disordered eating this is all so true. I really struggle to watch Saffron’s food videos due to how she constantly categorises food into good and bad. It seems like she’s constantly trying to show everyone all these “good/healthy” choices she makes but like it’s not realistic nor does anyone care? Her constantly saying how full she is from her water and porridge and beetroot wrap is just insufferable. And the fact she HAS to say she has it with water!!!!! Get some help girl you cannot be out here promoting well-being and health with tone and sculpt and then obviously trying to look like you starve yourself.
also jokes on Tyler poor guy must be starving!!! My boyfriend eats 50% bigger portions than me and is constantly snacking. Him having 2 wraps with spinach andchicken would have him offering w pizza about 45 mins later

let’s see how long this lasts...

Annoys me how she likes comments like that about herself being better than them
