Insta-Mum Drama

[rosybell]

Is there already a thread about the instamum dramas involving MoD today?

We all have negative thoughts about our friends... That's what we do. What we don't do is post about it on the internet where They themselves will have a chance to read about it and then as far as I can tell, act all sympathetic to friends faces about said trolling!

I don’t think it was that bad but the comments on her account are as if posting on the ‘dark side’ tattle is the end of their life as they know it. Why they ever believed this stuff is nuts.

Agree the CB comments will keep other influencers away because they won’t want to go there.

100%. But reading instagram you would think you are a freak for doing this. They are all oh so perfect in the instagram world and kindness is everything, remember. Another reason why instagram is bullshit because it doesn't acknowledge that life isn't black/white (kind/unkind) and makes you feel inadequate for just being....normal.

The OTT responses from other influencers are pretty funny.

It's a vortex of narcissism, frankly.

Person secretly posts about themself posting about a fictional life designed to make other people jealous and get free stuff.

The instamum brand is all built on supporting other women #sisterhood #bekind etc & any criticism of children's privacy or selling overpriced tat is called out as trolling or not supporting the sisterhood. It's the irony & hypocrisy that is unbelievable.

@Stfrancesof - brilliant summary

I don’t follow these people because I’m too busy on Digital Spy’s Strictly forums reading improving books, but teen DD is a keen instagrammer so has found the drama irresistible even though she’s not the target market. Her main takeaway was “they’re called Clemmie?! Like, really?Clemmie? As an actual name?! Two whole adult women?”

No attempts to persuade her that it’s a real (nick)name and it was good enough for Lady (Countess?) Churchill will enable her to move on.

If my friends upset me then I tell them, I'm an adult. If I don't agree with their life choices then it's unlikely we would still be friends. Obviously you can have acquaintances eg colleagues or school mums that you don't like but are civil too however you isn't then invite them to your parties or use their brand to boost yours.

They’re not friends - I thought the statement sounded off, there’s no point pretending they are. It’s just a pyramid scheme where you have to pretend to be to get ahead.

I was thinking of the SL poster like a fruit

Yep all pretend, pretend to not do adverts, pretend to sell stuff, pretend not to rely on your followers for cash, pretend to not worry about privacy, pretend to love this brand. And to think I used to love instagram back in the day as a "real" alternative to what I saw in magazines.

I wish everyone would just press 'unfollow' to the lot of them tbh.... It's a toxic culture.

I’m glad this bubble has burst, hope it’s a benchmark for change to the insta world. Fake sincerity, unregulated as far as under 18s are concerned and proving how nothing is ever as it seems. Let’s hope the children are protected from the spotlight whilst it’s shining on this area.

I’m pretty sure Alice alluded to SL and CH being plants on the mumsnet threads. Not a surprise to anyone who tried to reason with them

The best bit imo was the quote about ‘aligning themselves with celebrities’. That gave me such a good laugh, who does she actually think she is? I’ve always mostly liked her but celebrity she is not. Maybe I’m naive but never realised how up herself she was

The SL and CH posts kept those threads going and going I am laughing at that a bit. That did take commitment.

The post that I remember was where SL said oh I mostly follow her for her jewellery and listed some pieces of course way before any knew if the upcoming jewellery collab. Good work ;

And the extreme dislike of CC being the only insta person who was really evil

She posted an "apology"

It worries me that she's openly a midwife because she's clearly not doing much for her reputation and caring for vulnerable people, but the NMC are unlikely to care. None of this is to do with work, it's not remotely related to her patients and therefore they'll, at most, tell her off and say professional disrepute and off she will toddle.

They've far far bigger fish to fry (you can read all the pending cases against nurses and midwives online)

Dearie me. I unfollowed most of the instamums ages ago, but I'm interested to see how this will play out in relation to her following and brand collabations etc! I agree it's the 'friendships' with the clique, made to appear so genuine, that might suffer.

I wonder how's she explaining it all to fod!

Lordy just googled who these people are.

It's a whole new world!!

Thank god I'm not in it!
