If any of us were to have tweeted what she had, we would be sacked from our jobs if they found out.. wouldn’t we? And would therefore have no income and would have to find another job. Maybe they should get regular jobs then instead of posting shitty ads!!I don’t know... whilst I think that her tweets were disgusting (and not even that long ago in the grand scheme of things) and her lack of apology inexcusable, I think that wishing someone the cost of their future and livelihood is a bit much, especially when there are 2 young children to consider who should not suffer because of the actions of their idiotic parents. It’s what gives sites like this a bad name
So I knew susie back in the day when Twitter was cool (through work) and, I totally missed all of her awful tweets at the time, I was shocked and disappointed when I read them recently and know that at that time I never would have condoned it (so her excuse in that video is bullshit - the whole “apology” was), BUT I do think she seems to be doing the right thing now. Every time I get a Facebook memory of my statuses I cringe hard, even from a couple of years ago. Personally I need a better acknowledgment of her ‘crimes’ from her but I do think she’s managing her Instagram well now and is heading in the right direction. If I was in her shoes it’s what I’d be doing I think.
Harrysmum. I too have a disabled son. He is now grown up but will always live at home. I have just retired from fostering children with disabilities. I was absolutely distraught when I read those tweets. I wish the other big brands would follow Ebays example. Believe me no one will think badly of you. Our children should never be the butt of someones disgusting joke. You are a brave mumma bear to stick up for Harry.I know some of you will think I’m terrible for doing this but I am pleased. I have a disabled child and I will never forgive anyone who says the things she has about any children.

So, I will just point out a few things here..I don’t know... whilst I think that her tweets were disgusting (and not even that long ago in the grand scheme of things) and her lack of apology inexcusable, I think that wishing someone the cost of their future and livelihood is a bit much, especially when there are 2 young children to consider who should not suffer because of the actions of their idiotic parents. It’s what gives sites like this a bad name
I think many people will have been triggered by these vile tweets. I found them all disgusting. As Mum to a disabled child, retired foster carer to many, the ones involving children hurt most. She liked her dolphin tattoo “because they look like disabled children” laughing that deaf and blind children “would be well behaved“ jokes re “starving African children” “grubby African children“ ....... I could go on. It’s bad enough that anyone feels it’s ok to say these things. But Susie is now a public figure as an “influencer” making money?!?! Although I wouldn’t have the courage to contact companies I absolutely get why people do. Softgirl is very passionate about defending her Mum and others. My heart goes out to her.I think that’s the point- until we’ve been personally affected perhaps we dont know the real impact?
