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.
max is 100% a wrongun IMO. He gives me the heebie jeebies.
she was pretty vulnerable when she met him IIRC. Looks to me like he love bombed her, rushed into marriage, piggy backed her Instagram success and then dragged her out to the middle of nowhere to isolate her.
since she met him, it’s like there’s been a steady decline. She’s lost more and more weight. Her content seems more and more lacklustre. Her vivacity and joie de vivre just doesn’t seem to be there anymore.
The removal of her recipes (presumably so she doesn’t detract from his niche), the subtle controlling vibes he gives off (not being able to relax on holiday and “needing” an itinerary) all speak to me of someone who is an energy vampire, who diminishes everyone around them to make themselves feel better.
For context, they first met in August 2018. they got engaged in August 2019 and were married in November 2019.. so within a year and 3 months of meeting him, they’ve gotten married. IIRC she’s just come out of a long term relationship and a painful break up when she met max, and so was in a pretty vulnerable place. Classic abusive tactic to love bomb someone at a vulnerable point in their life.
His insta account has been wiped and his earliest posts are from Feb 2018 (where he announces a collab) and Nov 17. How has he managed to amass a 1mil following in 6 years?
I hope I’m wrong about him… but he just doesn’t seem like a particularly nice persona without having actually done anything obviously bad? He looks dead behind the eyes to me.
