Yes and coupled with her dramatic weight loss too. I'd be really worried about her if I were family/a friend!I understand why people would do this because of their beliefs... but based on the fact that she is basically stuck in a small town with a boyfriend who seems pretty controlling I actually find this really worrying
Ah I haven't listened to this so may check it out - thank you. I do think it's almost weirder for her to suddenly take a black and white approach to friends when ironically what I'd like to see more of from her is nuance. I have definitely thought she was a bit of a hypocrite for preaching to her audience whilst living an insanely privileged life (beyond just the usual financial measure - she is so close to upper class (only not because her family aren't titled) and if you're familiar with her family home in Stroud it makes you think it's almost weirder for her to cosplay as a 'regular' person rather than just acknowledging her own quite out-of-touch reality) but is now doing a massive u-turn to be like i'm just like you guys!I've been listening to her voice notes podcast and I think she is cutting/has cut a bunch of her friends out of her life due to her views. She mentions that it's been difficult the past few months and she might talk about it in the future, but yeah safe to say she's culling friends.
My friend works for Shell is the podcast episode. Voicenote 6.
It's a question asked towards the end of the episode if anyone wants to listen.
What is her family home in stroud like?Ah I haven't listened to this so may check it out - thank you.

Come join us on the Rosanna Falconer thread!Yeah that trip to India was unbelievably cringe! I do wonder if the two of them are still close but try not to acknowledge it on social media as their views/values seem worlds apart…although I don’t think Venetia 100% believes in what she’s preaching about…
I haven’t watched it yet so can’t comment.Her most recent vlog on their 'holiday' in France gives me really bad vibes. I get that sometimes a simple retreat is nice but they don't even seem to go out and explore, just do work and exercise ("We ran 3 miles just to find an organic shop that sells tofu and our favourite yoghurt"...?!) I mean... a portion of the vlog is Max filming her writing a detailed itinerary on a blackboard!
I got the impression Max was always lurking in the background monitoring everything she's saying and he CONSTANTLY interjects to make sure she says certain things. She seems very subdued and she's always glancing off to the side like someone is watching her.
The last clip where he 'casually' prompts her to talk about the writer strikes in Hollywood feels particularly bizarre.
All of their relationship is just such a red flag. I hope in a year (or less)we will see her posting a video or "how I escaped a toxic relationship "it’s so annoying that she took down the recipes off her website and stepped away from making her own recipes as she used to do it a lot and they were so good
---
It’s weird that Max collabs with lots of food content creators but I don’t think he’s really done anything like that with Venetia except undermine her recipes and try and make them better than her
That's really sad. Why would she take them down? I can't think of a real reason why.... her recipes all looked amazingit’s so annoying that she took down the recipes off her website and stepped away from making her own recipes as she used to do it a lot and they were so good
i'm guessing Max made her.. along with all her old videos. Can't have her cooking making his look badThat's really sad. Why would she take them down? I can't think of a real reason why.... her recipes all looked amazing
this is a really interesting perspectives, I think your right for sureI do think there could be an element of her not being managed by an agency anymore (was it previously Gleam?) I kind of got the feeling they wanted her to keep posting recipes/food content because that's how she started out and part of why she gained popularity, but now she's not managed by an agency she can go full throttle into the activist content. Not defending Max though, he has definitely got a hand in her content, but I reckon a bit more subtly than forcing her to take things down or telling her what to post. I get the impression his style is more... coersive
There’s just something so off about him to me…I have no idea how he has a million followers! I do feel like she had her own thing going on before she got with him, I just don’t buy into her being into sustainable fashion one bit…this is a really interesting perspectives, I think your right for sure

Also did anyone feel worried at her podcast where she talked about her honeymoon and how much Max struggled with relaxing and had to create a structured routine to follow when on the beach just chilling (until he started playing volleyball with locals).
I missed a lot of her older stuff. It always strikes me how happy she is to see her girlfriends, she needs more of that in her life!!I've followed Venetia and watched her youtube videos for yeeaars - when she was with her previous boyfriend and through her single period etc. - her youtube videos (now deleted ofc) used to be so full of life and she herself had so much energy and joy for life, it was truly infectious. She was super sociable and always seeing friends/out and about etc.
Obviously there are different times of our lives for different things but this is honestly such an extreme change in personality that it is disconcerting to say the least, her videos now just seem sad and flat, she seems to have lost her glow and love for life.
max is 100% a wrongun IMO. He gives me the heebie jeebies.Her most recent vlog on their 'holiday' in France gives me really bad vibes.

Jeez I though Venetia would have more cop on than to have a Visa wedding!yeah, and I remember Venetia in a podcast saying they did have a Visa wedding so they could see each other more and spend more time together. Seems suss!
