Video was a masterclass in manipulation - she may have convinced herself that what she says is true but it was at best hyperbolic and at worst downright lies.
Still, she got what she wanted - lots of attention from blue ticks telling her how great and brave she is and we had a fantastic weekend here absolutrly pisding ourselves about disgraced MP and India Knight's intended, Eric Joyce tracking us down and clobbering us (and at our own hilarious jokes).
But she is demonstrably a liar. And at other times she has been less than honest. About botox, about her own trolling about being a proper journalist. About it saying here thst she wasn't working class because she lived in a village which won a Britiain in Bloom award - no, it was because your mum was a teacher and then assistant head of Gwent bleeping LEA. ABOUT REMEMBERING SITTING IN HER HIGH CHAIR AT THE AGE OF TWO. She's unbelievable, how she she can hold her head high after writing about that, duck knows.
Re mental health - all posters her are mentalists, nutters etc when she wants to slate us. However, as soon as someone else suggests maybe that we may have mental health issues this is dismissed completely - none of us have mental health issues (statistically unlikely, I would have thought, but then my mum wasn't a maths teacher) - we're just awful people.
That this woman has positioned herself as an honest guide to beauty, cutting through the bullshit is Pretty Ironic.
Apart from the Guardian she doesn't seem to be doing much writing. Her Red column is just promotion work, rewriting press releases for films and tv programmes. She did the Estee Lauder foundation promo, the Bobbi Brown edit, a sponsored podcast, foundation matching in stores.
Fine, but don't keep saying you're a proper writer.
What would the reader assume CN had done from reading SH's tweet?
