Maybe by a sock puppet account Etc but yes- how are they still not making ends meet after all this time ?

@Jacopo i don’t think it’s Katie Hopkins at all. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter who it is. It’s Jack’s own words. It’s not like they are sharing things JM has not literally tweeted themselves.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 05/08/2022 20:32

If GoodJanetBadJanet isn’t Jack Monroe herself I’ll rinse the tomato sauce off spaghetti hoops and eat them out of my hat
🤣😂Lmao, better get rinsing those hoops then and dusting off your hat 😂

EllyJay · 05/08/2022 20:47

700+ supporters on patreon is a MINIMUM of £700 a month but likely to be much more. Plus the PayPal tip jar Jack rattles on the regular. Add to that the paid work (Jack states they do 100 hour weeks… some of it must pay..) her back catalogue of books, appearances and collabs, means that Ms Monroe is not on the bones of their backside.

The twitter account clearly shows that Jack twists the truth to suit the moment. They will never address all of the inconsistencies it has captured because how can they, without admitting fault, and it seems with Jack Monroe it’s always someone else’s fault.

I think the Molly person is Katie Hopkins.

You're not the only one, but I really don't see why. It sounds nothing like her. Besides, Hopkins wouldn't do it anonymously.

DelisButAlsoCrime · 05/08/2022 20:54

I don't think it's KH, there are a hugeeeee number of posts on Tattle with hundreds of people involved, and most of the tweets are based on things that have been dissected on the threads. A lot of people have been onto JM for a while.

Even if it is - do you know everyone's outgoings?
Rent is stupidly high nowadays.
I was lucky enough to buy our house with a mortgage around 20 years ago.
Our mortgage is 200 quid a month but if you want to rent the exact same house next door it's 600 a month. 😕
My point being you just can't assume you know a person's finances.

What's that? GoodJanetBadJanet has turned up on a thread to deliberately get the wrong end of the stick so she can feel justified in calling MNers rude snobs or whatever it is this week?
I haven't got the wrong end of any stick, I am just giving my opinion like people tend to do.
Also haven't called anyone a rude snob or done any personal attacks, so not sure what you're on about?
Also, you seem to "know" me as a poster which I find really interesting as the only other topic I disagree with the majority of people on a thread on is the trans threads on here.
Makes the comment upthread about why does anyone who disaggrees think we're right wing or Uncle Knobhead or T**F make more sense, as I was thinking what's "gender critical" (preferred terminology on here) got to do with anything?!
"GC" posters on a Jack Monroe thread, never twigged until this post.
Got it 😁

Is there not a single thread where GoodJanet can resist bringing the subject round to feminists being wrong?!

Answer honestly (ha!) - when you started posting on this thread, had you actually read the twitter thread that this is about?

EllyJay · 05/08/2022 21:05

I don’t pretend to know their outgoings. I do know that you shouldn’t live beyond your means and repeatedly lie, two things Jack is clearly doing.

You say you’re not Jack. Okay. If you say so. They won’t (for fairly obvious reasons) refute the AwfullyMolly twitter feed, as it would be pretty difficult to given both sides of the truth are theirs. They can’t both be right. If you’re not Jack and you’re so determined to defend their reputation, maybe you could have a go instead?

The MASSIVE problem with your logic is that you are failing to remember that JM over shares every. Single. Piece. Of. Life.
Purchases, bills, how much they are being paid for collaborations…

but that still doesn’t explain how you can square off several tweets saying they’ve never ever missed a rent payment and they are a model tenant and that’s how they buy lavish luxury brands, and several saying rent has bounced because they are so broke and would be grateful if someone could send them some cash

You don’t need to know the ins and outs of someone’s finances to see this doesn’t stack up

incognitodorrito · 05/08/2022 21:07

But even if we don’t know her finances and shouldn’t assume @GoodJanetBadJanet - why does she think the World owes her an own home, or even a one bedroom flat ? Home ownership isn’t a right, she’s lucky that her parents could release equity from their multi buy to let property portfolio. But they haven’t, I’m guessing this is due to her erratic spending. Designer dogs, lip injections, Cotswold & Co furnishings, Emin hanging in the bathroom that could all go into a healthy mortgage deposit.

The MASSIVE problem with your logic is that you are failing to acknowledge that if your source of income is your blog, and/or your writing columns, then you need a certain amount of self publicity to go with it.
Also thought my previous post says depends where you get on that ladder, where does she say she expects a home?!

But they haven’t, I’m guessing this is due to her erratic spending
Again with the guessing/ speculation.

Sideorderofchips · 05/08/2022 21:29

Trying to keep up but still mind boggling over washing sauce of spaghetti hoops...

Andthenanothercupoftea · 05/08/2022 21:41

GoodJanetBadJanet · 05/08/2022 18:13

She posted on Instagram saying she had a five figure deal with them, I remember reading it at the time and thinking how pleased I was for her
Oh right, good for her then.
Going by Google, that was approx a couple of years ago?
How long do you expect money to last, you don't know if that was a one off for around that time and there might not have been much else coming in?
Nobody knows. So bit off to automatically pile on saying faking being skint.

I made no comments on her earnings, so I'm not quite sure why you are being so rude.

I see other posters think you might be Jack and I'm not sure which is weirder, that Jack would join this thread or that some random would get so get up and combative about some food blogger whose been caught in some lies?

It’s not that weird to suggest Jack may have joined the thread. She’s posted on mumsnet quite a bit in the past, under her own name though.

No, Janet's. been around for quite a while. I don't think she's Jack at all.

Iirc Jack has posted on MN under her own name several times in the past.

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/08/2022 21:57

X post with @Maëlys Grin

JubileeTrifle · 05/08/2022 22:06

We do know her outgoings as she listed them. Her rent is £1500 a month on an £800k house. I haven’t researched this, she tweeted it.

Ooh look, another "gender critical" poster purpoting to "know" me.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 05/08/2022 22:15

Maybe not you personally then, but you can't deny there are multiple posters on here doing exactly that.

ThreeRingCircus · 05/08/2022 22:27

She has tripped herself up and proven herself to be a liar.

She's never owned a toaster, but there is a photo of a toaster in her kitchen.

She doesn't own a TV....but how dare that delivery driver leave her TV in its box on the doorstep.

She is having to melt down soap to make shower gel (WTF, why?!) but she rents a 3 bedroom house in an expensive area.

The problem is that when you've been caught out in a couple of lies, people don't know when you're lying and when you're telling the truth. When you're simultaneously taking money from people, many of whom will be in dire straits financially and really struggling because you're "so skint" but then getting a dog/tattoo/haircut/holiday then you're effectively a con artist.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 05/08/2022 22:31

You've lost me, I have no idea who awfullymolly is.
Although going by these types of threads and how they usually go you've got that pegged as ""aha!see, you're Jack, you would say that" 🤣

if the main source of your income is a blog, then you need a certain amount of writing on your blog. Which she doesn’t do despite claiming to work 100 hour weeks

You are flip flopping around all over the shop, but still haven’t given any explanation for how there can be so many documented inconsistencies in her stories, to the point of half of them clearly being outright lies

Scianel · 05/08/2022 22:39

She's been caught out in a lot of lies and inconsistencies now, anyone denying that despite evidence to the contrary basically has their fingers in their ears going lalala at this point.

Uh huh, writing two or three self pitying essays because the rent is high on their large detached house, and how this makes them so very poor, does not equate to a full-time job as a writer! Pathetic, begging strangers to support her profligate lifestyle.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 05/08/2022 22:56

Pathetic, begging strangers to support her profligate lifestyle.

Again with the presuming to know what her lifestyle is just because you've seen some posts on social media.
