Oh no it looks like she’s considering painting the kitchen tiles now too. Because the bathroom went so well!

What is wrong with them??

“You misinterpret my intensity and curiosity for distress and upset”
Christ it’s like all those times on Instagram she’ll say “Please picture me here calmly smiling happy to discuss the nuance of this issue”, usually in the same day she’s posted 5 stories blowing up after reading into somebody else’s comment.

Sharing print screens cos it’s more delicious chaos, I don’t even mean this in a nasty laughing at her way, I’m genuinely in shock anyone could do THIS bad a job?

(also ngl the kitchen is clearly filthy pls clean those kick boards, it’ll actually impact how paints and adhesives stick hun!!!)

I don't understand what's so offensive about the kitchen that she wants to change it.

Her kitchen floor looks grim.

I’m guessing she’s paying for it monthly. What a ridiculous thing to get into debt over. Literally any cheap exercise bike is fine. You don’t need the classes etc.

Or she could have just signed up for classes and used the bike she already owns! I can't understand why she's done this

Idk about Sofie, but have definitely seen people accuse their vets of 'fat shaming' their pets

Wow
I think that people obviously should have the choice about how they eat/live but it's so cruel to animals.
My friends dog actually hates walks and will hide up when you get her lead but they still encourage her to go out. Hank seems to be constantly looking out of the window and is clearly interested in going out. Its heartbreaking

I also really think some fresh air and exercise (walking Hank) would be beneficial to Sofie's mental health.

I’m certainly not ‘influenced’ to buy any skin products she used. A strange choice of promoter.

Latest grid post grinds my gears ugh. Yes let’s not care abt supply chain ethics + the enormous cost of fast fashion bcs Sofie wants to wear cheap jumpsuits. It’s really not very ‘intersectional’ is it

I had the same argument on a Facebook group the other day when someone was showing off their Shein crap. Apparently that’s the only place Americans can buy plus size clothing so you’re not allowed to point out it’s unethical or that poor women made your shit in sweatshops. Fair enough if you don’t care, just don’t pretend to be a feminist when you wear your poorly stitched crap that you think is ‘cute’.

Admittedly there are fewer ethical clothing choices as you get bigger, but they can be found. Or you can opt for second hand. Or just don’t buy loads of pointless shit if you never leave the house anyway.

I messaged her earlier, I had to. I don't get why she's so aggressive about her wrongly throwing a weighing scales in to the water. Does she know that she did something stupid and is pissed that loads of people are calling her out, or does she genuinely think her responses are funny?? I don't get it!

 

[stopthescams]

I generally have very little sympathy for landlords personally as I pay extortionate rent and it pisses me off cos they’re making money off of me needing a roof over my head but LOL I hope she loses it. If I was a landlord I’d be fuuuuuming!

 

[nothanksbabes]

I unfollowed her ages ago. I enjoyed her book but have generally found her unfunny and self-indulgent... I just had a look at her Instagram and I see she's upped the self-absorbed navel gazing 1000%.

I see she's now the authority on gender identity. I'm sure the LGBTQ+ community at large are delighted.

A while ago (post on 4 Feb) there was a comment that questioned how Sofie reacts to people and this was their response ...
What a weak excuse.

most of this just reads like a humble brag about her book/shows etc. Why is it anyone's duty to have some kind of description in their bio to make themselves understood? so odd the whole thing.

 

[Penelope Strawberry]

I used to love her podcasts, but she's become so self-important.

Does anyone have the tea on what caused her to leave The Guilty Feminist? I'm presuming that she had a falling out with Deborah Frances-White? I see that Sofie doesn't follow DFW on social media, although DFW follows Sofie.

 

[Penelope Strawberry]

I’m guessing she’s paying for it monthly. What a ridiculous thing to get into debt over.

How did you guess?

If I had a variable income, I would absolutely hate to have any recurring monthly payments. Would stress me out so much, not having the security of exactly what I'll be earning each month.

 

[Lurkeryaar]

I’m convinced when she says she ‘walks’ Hank she just lets him out to go to the toilet and do a few laps in that tiny garden

This is definitely what happens, I'm sure.

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

They're so ridiculous. How does anyone live like this? It must be exhausting.

 

[Gingerfattie]

She genuinely believes she is entirely beyond reproach. She clearly has major interpersonal difficulties, I imagine the only real relationships she is able to maintain are virtual ones.

 

[Clarabeth Klonzipa]

There needs to be some sort of academic #discourse around the various big accounts with plenty of social capital (published authors, large social media followings, etc) asking for tips because I’m not articulate enough to explain all the reasons I think it’s wrong. Actually queen @HarderFaster probably knows this inside out

It’s just.... bizarre? Like we’re in a global pandemic & recession like no other, how anyone in her position can think they’re worthy of donations is beyond me?! She’s just shown herself doing the flat up

And then they have the audacity to go on about how they can't afford to go sustainable/zero-waste despite having loads of money from their hundreds of thousands of followers.

 

[becky's artex ceiling]

She saw the title of the show and that was enough for a public flounce tbh!

I can see James Middleton posted some stories about her today, and there’s zero chance of her having the willpower to take the high road and NOT posting a 700 word response within a day or so! One foodstuff we can all agree is unhealthy is online beef… and she can’t stay away…

 

[bunnyblue]

Convenient way for Sofie to twist things.... he’s not threatening legal action because of a tweet, he’s threatening it because Sofie set all her followers on him, posting the whole tirade on her stories like she was proud of it.

And she’s so lacking in self esteem I think she genuinely feels pleased to have the power to rile her followers up like that, but had to make a (obviously fake) show of telling them off.

Can you imagine what would happen if Sofie ever discovers she has a Tattle thread... I think they would implode.

Long time lurker! I feel like I need to write something as I’m disabled and Sofie’s post has been on my mind all day - I’m sorry if it doesn’t make a lot of sense as I’m trying to work out my feelings around why it’s annoyed me so much (and I don’t fancy doing that publicly on their comments because I can imagine it would be received poorly)

It’s not a competition about who is the most oppressed (and I benefit from a lot of other privileges) so I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m playing the pain Olympics but it feels like Sofie is positioning disability as something that is readily catered for whilst fatness is not? The assumption that accessibility is a ‘thing’ is a total myth and I only realised this when I became disabled and found that just leaving the house can be a huge barrier.

Fat disabled people also exist and to say ‘I’m not even asking for accessible seating!’ almost makes it sound like catering to disabled people is much more of a burden than them asking for wider seats??

It is probably a case of unfortunate wording and I’m aware that I’m really sensitive about it but to act like disabled people are catered for really cheeses me off when I have to email every single pub, bar, restaurant, museum, venue before I go because there is never accurate info (if any) on the website - most places never bother to email back or they’ll say ‘we are accessible but there is a small step’. I’d say I can’t get into 80% of shops in my town!

I wouldn’t even be able to get to the bloody theatre easily to use this magical wheelchair access - it costs money (and I can’t crowdfund for bills on my Insta stories), I’d likely have to send medical evidence to receive one of few disabled seats (I have to for gigs), and then I struggle to even leave the house because buses only have one wheelchair spot, I have to book assistance for the train 24 hours in advance and it’s still unreliable and taxis don’t turn up (or can’t fit my wheelchair in or break it trying to jam it in their boot)!

I just think it’s a false and unnecessary comparison to make and the post didn’t even need it - they can make the same point without shitting on other people. Putting a ‘this needs to be intersectional’ as an after thought in the caption doesn’t really mean anything when you make no effort to understand other people’s experiences and publicly shame any constructive feedback that isn’t what you want to hear

PHEW! thanks for indulging my first ever tattle rant x

You sound extremely thoughtful and have been more generous than I would be in your position! I think that her comment is outrageous, extremely insensitive & offensive; her privilege is showing massively. I'm sorry that you have to read BS like that. No wonder it has been on your mind. Hope the rant helped!
