Elle Darby's old tweets

197 replies

AdultCat · 02/01/2022 23:16

I don't follow Elle Darby but am aware of her on Instagram. I came across her on TikTok after loads of her old tweets have been shared. So hateful and angry, the tweets are really nasty.
Has anyone else seen them? She's turned all her comments off and seems to be staying quiet!

@whachatalkinaboutwillis

Oh yes, Chrissy Teigen is insufferable.

bloomingheck1 · 03/01/2022 10:23

Jesus, they are horrendous and it's not like it was a one off tweet being young and stupid, it was repeated tweets - they shouldn't be able to come back from this!

Thefaceofboe · 03/01/2022 10:27

Absolutely vile. I’ve always seen her on Instagram but never followed. To me she’s always come across fake but don’t most influences.

I can certainly see her career being over after this, surely no brands will risk their rep by working with her.

www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/17205320/influencer-elle-darby-vile-racist-tweets-backlash/amp/ news outlets starting to pick up on it now! I don't like cancel culture but this wasn't just one tweet, it was many over a long period of time which just shows what kind of person she is. Oh and her fiancée too. Hopefully the pair of them are cancelled. Disgusting.

Also my sister told me she had an operation a few years ago as she had problems with her eye, causing her to go bong eyed (sorry if there’s a nicer way of putting it!) so it baffles me how she’s being so judgey about other people, fat shaming etc when she’s suffered with insecurities herself

emuloc · 03/01/2022 10:45

When is the tide going to turn and young people in particular are no longer giving these vapid, nonentities attention and likes.

backtoworktomorrow81 · 03/01/2022 10:59

Disgusting. Never understood why she has such massive followers. Hope lots unfollow

AdultCat · 03/01/2022 11:14

I hope she doesn't try to do a tearful apology video, blaming her age etc and expect to carry on as normal. Especially when she's staying quiet but able to still comment on her friends posts 🙄
I hate all this influencer stuff on social media. One of my friends daughter is trying to be one! I'd like to think my daughter has higher goals than being like them.

I'd never heard of Tattle, wow... Now there's a rabbit hole I'm going to be in for a while!!! 😂

The hotel thing. The hotel redacted her name (obliterated in thick black felt tip) then released their reply which was basically along the lines of 'If I give you some freebies who pays my staff? Off you pop'
She did a video wailing about being shown up, and therefore outed herself as the grabby mare.

ComDummings · 03/01/2022 11:20

They always get away with it though

Lollyfalalalalalalalalaaahhhhh · 03/01/2022 11:25

It's hate speech. A good couple of years of calling Indian people 'smelly' and Polish people disgusting.its so upsetting to see

Thefaceofboe · 03/01/2022 11:27

I’m shocked to see she still has so many followers tbh

Ihearthosesleighbellsringing · 03/01/2022 11:36

I don't follow her but always come across her page on Instagram and she just comes across annoying in my opinion.
Her sister seems way more likeable and relatable.
Elles tweets are absolutely awful and I don't see how she will be able to come back from this, they live a life that looks comfortable and privileged and its all off the back of her social media profile so I wonder how this will effect that if she is cancelled.
Anyone with a brain cell would have trawled back through their profiles surely, to delete anything embarrassing never mind the type of things she has posted.

Me too. How many did she have before all this came out? It's shocking

Clemmie Hooper part 2!

Sunsetsupernova · 03/01/2022 11:44

It’s like Susie Verrill all over again. She lost her advertising deals for a while but a few years later it seems like everyone’s forgotten about it. She really is a vile woman

What did susie verill do? I follow her

ThanksIGotItInMorrisons · 03/01/2022 11:51

@EishetChayil

Because maybe someone less rude will explain who she is??? Also, I’ve no idea who she is either.

Sunsetsupernova · 03/01/2022 11:56

@backtoworktomorrow81 her tweets were almost exactly the same as Elle’s. Lots of anti-disability and racist comments. Google Susie Verrill tweets and there’s lots of examples under images

backtoworktomorrow81 · 03/01/2022 11:57

@Sunsetsupernova gosh I wouldn't have expected that from her. Another one to unfollow.

InThebleakMidweek · 03/01/2022 12:05

Her tweets are horrific. Absolutely awful.

What she should do is apologise. Properly. None of this ‘I’m a different person now/these comments don’t align with our morals now bla bla bla’ but instead a real apology. Sorry for being racist/homophobic etc etc. Then delete accounts and have some self respect and realise she has no place as an ‘influencer’ any more, walk away and have a serious think about what she’s done.
Hopefully that way she will really think and change

BusySittingDown · 03/01/2022 12:10

God that's awful! However, she's about 25ish? These tweets are from 2011 so she would have been 15 or so. Hopefully she's changed since then and educated herself.

God knows, I was a completely different person at 25 to that I was at 15. Although I was never racist or hateful (although there was no Twitter in ancient times).

AlistairCamel · 03/01/2022 12:16

No idea who she is so searched Twitter. What a revolting human being.

UnshakenNeedsStirring · 03/01/2022 12:21

She is a disgusting vile racist

Itsmybaby · 03/01/2022 12:28

We are similar age and I’ve watched her for years so I am disgusted tbh. Usually when these tweets surface there’s a few which the influencer can argue is down the being uneducated and using the wrong words. This was a vile campaign of hate and racist abuse that stemmed over years. She was 15-17 when she posted those tweets and her boyfriend 20. A video from more recent times was released of her calling some men ‘smelly foreigners’. Sad

Her management seem to be getting TikTok’s deleted again rapid rate (instead of dropping her!) and I can’t see any big influencers who have unfollowed her. I am disgusted.
