When these ‘influencers’ post tattle comments they literally never post the ones that their followers might think have a point. Personally, I’m not really that bothered if she’s wearing Birkenstocks (or anything really). I’m not even bothered about her owning a load of surf gear (though I do think buying new boards when homeless is a bit ridiculous). I also think it’s criminal that affordable housing is in such short supply. I don’t even take much issue with crowdfunding for rent.
What I take issue with is the fact that she has now crowdfunded at least twice (most likely 3 times). Whilst doing this she went out a bought a van, which had since broke down significantly twice in the few weeks that she’s owned it. She then let a crowdfunder for a rent deposit be set up despite clearly being in the running for a council house, which she was offered almost immediately afterwards. Now she’s in the council house (which she absolutely deserves and there should be more of them) instead of being grateful she’s complained every step of the way.
She clearly has no intention of ever working a full-time job (exemplified by the fact that she’s still thinking of homeschooling the children and is asking for paid ads). The reason I take issue with this isn’t even because I begrudge her the grift. It’s because when people see this they tar all people in a similar position with the same brush when the vast majority of them aren’t entitled grifters. She’s the ‘acceptable face’ of homelessness for people because she’s a middle class white woman who’s not unattractive and I guarantee that if she wasn’t people wouldn’t view her in the same way. Her being an entitled grifter (which will only become clearer as time goes on) just makes it more difficult for others who already had it more difficult.
Also, tattle provides an outlet for that frustration. I don’t want to and never would troll somebody. I have no business in posting things to them. I just want to discuss the discrepancies I see calmly, in a manner I don’t consider to be cruel and should be allowed to do that in some forum away from those influencers’ eyes. If you don’t like it don’t seek it out. Sorry for the rant!

and then had a go at her followers for reporting her to cps for making sexual innuendos about them!
