Interesting, thank you. So how come she’s reading (must be?) but hasn’t absorbed any of the main bleeping points we’ve been making? It’s not a flat-out hatefest by any means.
I don’t know. I honestly used to love her until I noticed the same companies being endorsed again and again plus the deliberate opaqueness about her treatments.
Don’t you mean that posh snowy writers retreat where she do author stuff
like Judith Kerr, a famous author just like Sal.Okay so she went an stayed in this place in I think Austria which is famous for being a super expensive diet camp. It’s been covered in the times and various other newspapers. Instead of saying that she was on a diet camp, she called it a writer’s retreat.
"how unfair it was that people thought it was any of their business what she does with her face.
And also don’t use your guardian column to promote your sponsors. I used to love your column for honest beauty advice. Now it’s no better than what you’d see in a magazine/shopping catalogue like Red.Anybody else think it’s funny how she mentioned Tattle only a couple of weeks after somebody tried hard to defend her here and then disappeared?
Dear Sali,
We don’t care whether you had plastic surgery or fillers or anything. We care about your toxic dishonesty: if you claim you haven’t had any work done and push expensive creams claiming they’ll make us all look as youthful as you, that’s (pretty) dishonest. If you need to be dragged kicking and screaming to declare an ad or a gift, that’s (pretty) dishonest.
We also care about how rude you are to anybody who doesn’t spread rose petals at your feet: why not foster honest conversation on your groups and forums? How can you call yourself a journalist and then shut down any form of debate? Calling us trolls won’t erase our valid concerns.
Sincerely,
A Tattler who was conned into buying both your books when she still believed you were honest and cared about your followers.
She kept shoehorning the name of the place into random Instagram posts in a way that suggested that she didn’t pay for it herself. This was just before the rules changed on declaring ads.
Hangry
Writer's retreat?? Absolute bullshitty bollocks.
Lots of journos might go there and use the time to write. However, calling it a writing retreat would be like me saying that if I go to Ibiza and spend the whole time clubbing but do a bit of knitting each day that I was on a knitting retreat. The main point of that place is detox for weight loss.
Well duh, I wasn’t agreeing with her which is why I put Lol. I didn’t feel the need to write a long winded explanation.
Yes yes this exactly. It's the dishonesty that rankles with many former fans who quite simply feel conned. The not declaring she had a vested interest in Aveda in her Guardian column being one example in a very long list. And if anyone points out her flip flop opinions she has a 'nervo' and says she is being trolled. So now if anyone ever questions her about Botox etc she can scream victimization and blame in on Tattle. Handy that.Anybody else think it’s funny how she mentioned Tattle only a couple of weeks after somebody tried hard to defend her here and then disappeared?
