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

She also posted as herself but was probably using socks as well.
She's not very good at spelling, the same mistakes would crop up across accounts and there were a couple of obvious ones on her Tattle username.

As for the people who have 'called her out' for her behaviour publicly on their pages, and those that have also commented. I can't help thinking it's all done to draw extra attention and gain more followers. I bet they're rubbing their hands together with glee. As someone said up thread, it's a vortex of narcissism. I bet this will all turn on its head and they'll all rally round mod as clearly her mental health is suffering and she was in 'a bad place' at the time. Cue #it'soktonotbeok and #bekind hashtages. It's all a load of utter bullshit. That being said I'm rather enjoying the drama Grin

I'm wondering if she was behind the CC smear campaign and harassment which drove CC to take time out for the mental health of both her and her child and endangered both of them.
Someone started a wide-eyed 'whatever happened to CC' thread on here once then straightaway socks jumped on it.

RexDangerVest · 08/11/2019 10:15

'vortex of narcissism' is very true

MarshaBradyo · 08/11/2019 10:16

Yep they’re all as bad as each other

pinkhandluggage · 08/11/2019 10:17

Tbh. I am over the fucking moon.

I took a pounding on IG when I defended myself following 'those' MN threads from her little minions when I commented on her self pitying bullshit posts.

Just a shame none of the big brands will give a shit and she will still claw in all the freebies, just like Meldrum has continued to do.

I shall sit and wait for my apology from certain people on IG about how I was right.

@PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind @MarshaBradyo

I've just bothered to scroll bag far enough and YES!!!! It was her wasn't it?

Solihooley · 08/11/2019 10:26

I don’t follow many insta mums so I don’t know who all of them are but I did have a little peek at the DM article and I’m so shocked at the things she wrote about Candice Brathwaite, especially after the racism row MOD had before. I think these comments are by far the most damaging and could impact on her job, as she’s basically shown herself to be racist. I have no doubt that those are her true thoughts, but even if she was just ‘posing’ the old trope that any black woman who speaks out on any issue is ‘aggressive’ and ‘playing the race card’ is despicable. To voice that opinion publicly is completely unforgivable and shows her to be quite dangerous, whatever personal problems she’s going through.

jamoncrumpets · 08/11/2019 10:28

I was on all the original Instamums posts. In fact, I started a few. I wasn't happy with the tone some of them descended into. I wasn't about calling people pricks and such. My issue was with a) the unobtainable lifestyle they were peddling b) using their children to sell it.

I won't say 'I told you so'. I don't need to.

I don't think Cady or Sofia were Mod (their syntax doesn't match hers, which was distinctive on the Tattle threads) but I do think they were related in some way.

pinkhandluggage · 08/11/2019 10:34

I was also on the original threads and got sick to the back teeth of both Sophia and Cady.

Someone sent me a link to tattle following them, and I found my people.

OopsUditAgain · 08/11/2019 10:36

Have a look at allaboardtheallergy's posts though Wink

pinkhandluggage · 08/11/2019 10:37

Where's that user @OopsUditAgain

God @OopsUditAgain see what you mean about @allaboardtheallergybus

She has an extremely detailed knowledge of MOD's life as well as a passionate belief in her good points. And doesn't comment on any other threads at all apart from MOD ones!

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 08/11/2019 11:16

Hi, I’m actually WORKING from home today but placemarking because I fucking love this.

Between Vardygate and now this it’s like Chanukah and Christmas have arrived early.

Pitterpatterpettysteps · 08/11/2019 11:20

Well spotted @OopsUditAgain

OopsUditAgain · 08/11/2019 11:30

I meant, who knows? It could be a coincidence that the style is so similar. I doubt whether MN would provide info on IP address locations though..(and quite right that they shouldn't). I think Mod was a little naive to trust the people who run Tattle tbh as well.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 08/11/2019 11:39

I think the best thing she could do would be to absolutely terminate her internet presence, go back to midwifery and maybe in the years to come when the Insta mums bubble has really burst write a book about her experience. That’s only if she can write with candour and has fully disengaged her head from her arse.

This is also an interesting lesson in how the cult of the influencers can have a serious effect on your mental health and decision making. To be blunt, nobody in their right mind would go to the elaborate lengths of sock puppetry she has. And for what? To protect the brand, allegedly.

We have all fucked up in our lives or been busted for bitching but this is on a massive scale as the whole Instaworld will now turn against her. It’s probable that her books will tank as well as her credibility has been shot to shit. I can’t imagine the hospital where she works will be happy about this either, putting her (real) job security under threat.

I hope she and FOD just take this as the hardest of lessons and just GO in peace, letting their girls grow up without posing for pics all the time nor worrying about what they’re going to get targeted about at school by bullies next time their parents post some garbage on social media.

Both Hoopers have good jobs to fall back on and have saved a packet by moving out of London. They’ll be fine even if their egos never will be again.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 08/11/2019 11:41

Ps in the event she does get the boot from her role, Medway Hospital is looking for good midwives. I’m not even joking.

nowifi · 08/11/2019 11:49

Yes to all of that paulhollywood you summed it up perfectly. This could be a blessing in disguise for them really to start living in the real world again.
