I was assuming that Sue is preventing Millie from announcing because it’s the second baby in a short time, probably with a different partner and possibly he is either no longer around or not wanting to be in vlogs or move into the flea pit.
Brushing it off as ‘didn’t realise it would happen’ even once was a suspension of disbelief, it happening twice, while Millie still has no job and is still under their roof and parental guidance…is something they may find hard to navigate. Their reputation is on tenterhooks anyway, they have a lot of followers but also many who just see them as scroungers and Noel as a sex pest, a second pregnancy from Millie with no obvious job or serious relationship will push their ‘we don’t claim benefits’ beyond belief, and make people assume that most of the rest of the girls will go the same direction.
If there is a boyfriend or another ‘positive’ spin that could be put on it, Sue will have wanted to rinse them for content making them feel used, and if Millie’s behaviour will be difficult to frame positively…as in how it reflects on Sue, not on herself, then Sue will be furious, especially if Millie wants to share publicly anything, or withhold anything, that Sue feels will contradict the wonderful family image she seems to delusionally believe a fly on the wall channel 5 documentary show.
Sue, you are only one step up in the documentary stakes from “Too fat to queue for the dole” and “My husband cheated on me with a castrated goat”. Just let Millie announce whatever she wants, Sue, she really can’t do your reputation any more damage, you are beyond help. If they cancel your documentary, don’t worry, they are scouting soon for a new one called “I feel in love with my rapist and got free pies for life”, you’ll be quids in, at least enough for 3 day trips to Primark and even a bit left over to make a dent in the spiralling Next store card debt.
Run, or waddle, while you can Millie. Announce, don’t announce, just get out of the cult and live your life away from the position of your actions being publicly judged that your parents put you in by signing you up to appear on national tv before you were old enough to understand the consequences. Even when you turned 18, they had the age and experience, not you, it’s them who have had the camera and the edit software, the meetings with agents and channel 5 producers. Time for you to take control and decide whether you actually want to live your life in the public eye, because now is the perfect opportunity to remove yourself if you wish. Public slanging matches between family members, admittedly would be very entertaining for us Tattlers, but rows with parents often cause siblings to have to take sides, so rise above all the nonsense. Chloe has a good brain on her, follow her lead.
