Yes, this was my issue with it too.Can I just say regarding the rolex. It’s fine to have one and love it. She however does brandish hers like an 18 year old who has recently got engaged, making sure the ring is seen in every shot.

Yes yes and yes. I think one of her problems has definitely been lack of engagement and defensiveness. Her 'oh I never read comments btl as they make me unhappy', her snippy comebacks on Twitter and IG. Even her own FB group she rarely seems to bother with unless it is to ask for questions for her upcoming podcasts. I'm on Caroline Hirons group and although I have issues with her, fair play to her she does bother with that group.I just can’t escape the feeling that SH keeps missing the point about her brand, which is baffling. Engagement is everything, so she doesn't read/reply to her comments, or she is chippy or, more amazingly, switches them off completely. Honesty/integrity is her USP yet she is completely opaque about ads/collabs and tweakments. She wants to be taken seriously as a journalist/writer but cannot take an alternative point of view or even light criticism. Women are the majority of her market, yet she has form for slagging other women not like her off and bullying others. There’s so much cognitive dissonance her head must be on the verge of exploding. Maybe that’s why she is borderline aggressive the whole time.
I know SH says that she has in the past mentioned/written about having Botox but, given that most of us are long-term readers and social media followers, I'd have thought that some of us would be able to confirm that if it was indeed the case. The first acknowledgement I saw was in a reply she made to an IG comment earlier this year - i.e. after people here had started remarking on it.And mentioning tweakments once or twice doesn’t let her off the hook - she should disclose it every time she is asked about or promotes an anti-ageing product.
Mine too. The ostentatious way she has been flashing it is naff.Yes, this was my issue with it too.
I've asked quite a few people if they'd read these threads before the wave of sympathy. Nope- just took it on face value.Most of the women writers I like and follow on Twitter - such as Nigella - tweeted support for Sali after her video/tweets that Friday. I interpreted it as an instinctive gesture of support for a person who was visibly upset rather than, necessarily, an endorsement of her portrayal of the Tattle Life comments.
Anyone who came here - as I did - to understand what had caused such upset would have found that it was not quite the way Sali had described it.
Yep. Again, its her whole chippy tone. Because some people have the audacity to wonder what's been bought and what's not.It strikes me as puerile all this "and I bought it" she's started putting in her descriptions. For every mention just put (bought) or (gifted) without making a bigger deal than it needs to be. Doesn't need attention that she's started showcasing some things that she didn't get for free. She could still have bought it with a 90% press discount

You really aren't the only one by a long way. I read the mumsnet threads about SH video (while they were up) and a lot of people on there commented how the most surprising thing about it was her saying she had Botox. Others saying they assumed she had but didn't know for sure. I think a lot of us here were sort of asking ourselves if we had missed her declarations in the past. We can't all have had collective amnesia and like you say googling is throwing up no proof. It all points to her just not saying it. Talking about it, recommending doctors (which tbf I saw her do) isn't the same as being open about her own use.Do you respond like that - making a thing of clarity - if no valid points were made here or there in the midst of it all. It reads pass ag but most of the writing does if you're in a Here frame of mind
I was a pretty close follower in articles and various online platforms and I honestly felt so naive when I read about the Botox HERE and here only. Can I have really missed it in the columns? And Googling when I did cop on provided no results - The Pool article disappearance not withstanding. But that was 1 article anyway - a bit hit or miss that everyone would read it as it had a particular demographic I think.
Ultimately I just felt like such a dummy believing it was about skincare applications.
The 1st mention I can find is under an IG post about Magda Archer from 08/02/18 in response to a query. She uses the rather wriggley "I've had Botox in the past and will again". As Botox is done every 6 monyhs or so it's always going to be something that's that someone's had "in the past".I was a pretty close follower in articles and various online platforms and I honestly felt so naive when I read about the Botox HERE and here only.

this is Sali, she needs to make EVERYTHING a bigger deal, can almost hear the shrillness in her typed words.It strikes me as puerile all this "and I bought it" she's started putting in her descriptions.
