Sali Hughes #33 Grifty shades of grey. It's a complex case.

[Aude]

The mumsnet Sali Hughes goes Grey thread is worth a read. Compare and contrast with here!

Doing anything to avoid the work I'm supposed to get done by Monday, I've read the Mumsnet thread and all the comments under that 2010 Guardian article about not being a proper mum.

At what point will SH come to terms with the fact that if she puts content online people will express their views on it - whether btl on the Guardian, on Mumsnet or Tattle - and that they won't necessarily be what she wants to hear? (And, in the case of the Guardian, that if she writes about her family in a published article, comments will also mention her family.) And that these are the views of a wide range of people, not just the dozen she seems to think are commenting here because they have, unaccountably, taken against her.

How tf is dyeing your hair brave?

In what alternate universe does this person (Lauren) live?

Dying your hair FOR FREE and then getting paid to write about it.

She does put her lipstick straight from the bullet. The Tank Man she is.

It’s a deluded kind of privilege (is it?) to take the position that anyone who disagrees with you or is critical of your output, is a dribbling spittle spraying troll.

There must be no appraisal in the creative world.

Give the woman a Medal of Valor

Oh my, that thread on the other site is hysterical. I can see how it would trigger her meltdown. And it’s only got worse this afternoon...

This morning I was a member of the GTL group - this evening I am blocked. Interesting. She's definitely reading here guys.

I should say I have never ever commented or posted on GTL...

Also blocked from Instagram. duck she IS angry!

What is this GTL group?! I’m so curious now!!

Sali Hughes: Get the Look. Her facebook group. Usually full of foaming at the mouth fans, but some dissenters have accused her of looking blonde and all hell has broken loose

Oh my god the wiggy comment about her natural hair. Savagery!

 

[Kinvarra]

Er some disrespectful, racist, fucknut HAS SPELT HER NAME WITH A Y.

 

[Mazerati]

And the lame attempt at showing us up. Oh it's poetry.

Yes I love how the high maintenance shag was given as a prime example of 'abuse'

 

[melfish]

Definitely the next thread title after that accolade

And naturally enough confused the duck out of Mumsnet

She has said on twitter that her son has finished school forever. She said to someone else 'we should all be proud whatever the bullshit results'. She has such a chip on her shoulder about her own lack of formal education. I would be pretty pissed if my parents told me that the hard work I had put in towards my final school year exams didn't matter as they were 'bullshit results'. That kind of thing is a milestone at that age

Could she be referring to the fact teachers are assessing for results this year not exams? I think a lot of parents are discouraged about this because it’s unknown how the grades will be conjured up.

Love that snobby comment too. 'She's a journalist, not Katie Price'. So it would be ok to discuss Katie Price but because Sali is a 'journalist' it's abuse? So classist!
