Instamums in the Telegraph

[caperberries]

Is there a new thread about this?

[sparklefluff]

I don't think so?

[MarshaBradyo]

I don’t think so

thanks for starting one

[JeanGenie23]

I saw that article this morning, I don’t know the ins and outs and didn’t see the other thread on here but I do generally enjoy seeing mother of daughters posts and I think it’s a shame she has closed her Instagram post

[caperberries]

Link to the article:

[MarshaBradyo]

Just to say we should not focus on one instagrammer

(And It should have been Lagerfeld last thread)

[sparklefluff]

@MarshaBradyo I'm literally only here for the cat recommendations

[MarshaBradyo]

Me too Sparkle me too

And Peter

That article is badly written. It could have explored the issue properly but just seems to be having a pop.

[sparklefluff]

What do we think about Justine's comment?

[OopsUpsideYourHead27]

I think she should think herself lucky that they didn't quote any of the posts from people who have been on the receiving end of her horrible ways.The so called "Bullied" being the Bully.

I think that article needs to be proof read and edited!

[JeanGenie23]

wips yes I agree!

sparkle I don’t know what they asked her to comment on but I sort of feel she misses the point.

[jamoncrumpets]

She'll be back, holidays and all.

[MarshaBradyo]

In not sure if Justine was asked for a quote or it was lifted from somewhere else
But it didn’t relate to the article, but Justine’s views on children in SM is on an earlier thread

[jamoncrumpets]

This is better written and more about the ACTUAL issues with instaflogging:

[JeanGenie23]

Maybe I am missing the crux of the issue (very possible) but wasn’t the reason mother of daughters took her profile down was because of the Kim Kardashian appetite suppressant lollipop? Not because of ads and sponsored posts?

[jamoncrumpets]

Things came to a head after the KK post but had been brewing for a while, I think.

[MarshaBradyo]

Does anyone else feel odd when referred to as mums 'appreciated by mums'

Find it a bit cringe-y as if we don't do anything else

Jean can't be sure but possibly to do with that and another IG post

[firsttimemum889]

@JeanGenie23 why would she take it down because of kim ? Is it some kind of movement ?

[VileyRose]

Painful reading !

[JeanGenie23]

She was accused of body shaming Kim Kardashian and had quite a few aggressive posts directed at her calling her a hypocrite and all sorts. And it spiralled very quickly. A few other Instagram bloggers also had a lot to say on the situation but their comments didn’t fire up as half as bad as mother of daughters. It was all very bizarre how vile grown adults were being to one another over the internet

[firsttimemum889]

Was this about the lillipop malarkey? Tbh i think kim is vile so i wouldnt dissagree with her on that!

[PurplePumpkinPiss]

That article is so badly written it hurt to read it. Surely if you're paid to write an article you'd proof read it!

[jamoncrumpets]

It's not really about KK. It's about people arguing in comments underneath posts.

[JeanGenie23]

Yes firstime it was really stupid but I totally understood those calling mother of daughters hypocritical. I don’t think either of them deserve abuse though, let’s face it they are both trying to earn money!
