I am not being defensive over Yvonne, she is a fashion blogger and that's why I follow her. She is not a public representative voted for or paid by the people of Ireland, you can choose to follow or not, swipe up or not. I just think constantly going on about an alleged holiday abroad (that's not against the law) 2 months after the fact is getting boring! I think it's right to call out certain behaviour that's related to her blog e.g. selling items she supposedly 'loves' on adverts. That was appalling in my view (the selling not the criticizing). But not what she chooses to do (allegedly) with her family.If she choses to put herself in the public eye as an influencer and hasn't been following the guidelines that we are all being asked to live with then unfortunately people are going to call out the behaviour. She thinks she got away with her little trip abroad and her adverts selling empire by her deleting spree and keeping herself offline. She hopes that the fuss will just quietly die down and the attention will eventually be deflected from her.
Unfortunately its because of people like Yvonne with their sense of entitlement to breach whatever guideline they feel doesnt quite apply to them that means we are going to be living with restrictions for some time to come.
It might be getting old for you but I am sick and tired of influencers thinking the rules dont apply to them. And thats the purpose of this site no? I dont think there is any limit to a timeline on past behaviour that we can't mention stuff?
What fuss anyway?? She didn't commit a crime and actually if you read any of the international cases of COVID-19 you will see places like the Algarve and Canary Islands for example have very low cases in comparison to other parts of the countries (Lisbon in Portugal had most of the cases and mainland Spain in relation to Spain). I have heard very little in the media about cases coming in from abroad but anyway that's beside the point!
The reason I'm on Tattle is for exactly the reason you are because like you I am tired of influencers taking advantage of followers, not being transparent about how they are paid, what is for free etc.. and for healthy discussion and debate which we are having.
We all have different opinions and I respect yours I just felt every time I looked at this thread the only thing that was mentioned was an alleged holiday to Portugal, the Adverts debacle should've gotten more comments and that in my view is what she should be called out on.
