WeakDilute would be an excellent sock puppet name.
Well she certainly sounds convincing! But I wouldn't say she's been 'pretty honest' and open about the Botox, only owning up to it in the comments on Insta (or can anyone link to an article she's written about it?).
This is what gets me about the whole thing. I used to like her a lot for her frank approach and how she’d always say she wouldn’t ever judge another woman for (e.g.) getting botox, etc. But she also said if she ever felt the need to do it herself she’d lay all her cards on the table, and she hasn’t done that.
I’m also DEEPLY unhappy about all the undeclared freebies (Hershesons hair cuts and blow dries spring to mind). Until the regulations changed a few months ago, there was absolutely no hint that she wasn’t paying for these herself. In fact I remember being [quite naively] impressed that she must be doing ok now to have regular £300 haircuts.
Then there was the “detox” stay at the “health spa” back in January. So, so clearly an undeclared freebie based on how many @s it got on her instagram, but she did her absolute darnedest to hide that and try to give the impression that, rather than being a weight-loss boot camp, it was in fact a paid-for writers’ retreat*.
As I said, I used to like her a lot and I usually like her writing, but it seems that her star took off a few years ago and she’s nothing like she used to be. Good luck to her. She’s clearly thriving.
