Sara cox advert

33 replies

Is anyone else getting an ad pop up featuring pictures of Sara Cox with a bruised face? I'm sure it's fake but it distasteful at best. I'm not clicking on it.

Surely mn should be monitoring who they let advertise?

There's more violent images this morning on Mumsnet. I don't know who the woman is. Bruised, cut face. Text something like "now we know the rumours are true". Is this a targeted thing? I saw this image whilst reading a thread about rape, FFS.

What I tried to comment on was the distasteful comments made by presenter Ben Shepard who referred to S C as a liar. When I tried to comment on this up came this bruised face. As though she'd been done in with him on set.

Thanks for all your help in tracking this down. They should all be blocked now but please do let us know if you spot anything like it again that has managed to sneak through.

Hope they sack Ben Shepherd

Along with Good Morning Britain where Ben Shepherd called her a liar live on TV.😆

Yes just got that too!

TheDefiant · 02/09/2024 13:09

I'm getting it too. Jeremy Clarkson also has a bruised face.

Yes,but not on here,somewhere else and the tagline At last we know the truth.

Namechangeforcheese · 02/09/2024 13:05

Not quite the point of the thread but Sarah Cox is a good writer. As are Rylan and Graham Norton.

No idea but I see she’s got a book out now. Are all authors just being pushed off the bookshelves for celebrities now? There’s no end to their greed.

The only books on physical bookshelves in shops are by people who have a big social media following, it's been that way for years.

Publishers won't touch you without a significant and genuine social media following because it's less marketing work and cost for them.

However, the flip side is more people are self-publishing and therefore keeping much more of the profit.

There's a thread about this on Site Stuff, mumsnet HQ are asking people to post either the url of the ad or screenshot them and say the thread they're appearing on. I've seen them all over this morning, horrible stuff.

Bellie710 · 02/09/2024 12:47

That Sara Cox advert has being doing the rounds for a while, I have never opened it but it's always on FB.

kitsuneghost · 02/09/2024 12:42

Not seen it
does anyone have a link?

Redglitter · 02/09/2024 12:35

I've seen the Sara Cox one numerous times on another site. It's horrible. It's certainly flooding numerous sites

stayathomer · 02/09/2024 12:32

As far as I know Sara cox writes her own books? I always defend celebrity writers, when you think of it if they go into something like drama there’s a huge chance they’re creative and avid readers too.Most aren’t born famous so they had to work their way up too, they’re just lucky they have an automatic following!!

Waitingfordoggo · 02/09/2024 12:24

I clicked on an article on FB this morning and saw the Sara Cox ad on there and have now also seen it on MN. It’s dreadful. Hope MN are able to get rid of it.

If it's an ad where it has the triangle in the corner (are they Google ads?) then it isn't a MN ad.

It’s definitely not a Mumsnet advert as I’ve seen it on other webpages too. It’s horrible to keep seeing it so often.

Glitterbiscuits · 02/09/2024 11:27

Ive got the advert on this thread! Sara Cox, Jeremy Clarkson and a blonde lady all with bruises.

TheClawDecides · 02/09/2024 11:26

There's a thread in Site Stuff.

It's pretty obvious MN haven't allowed this ad.
