Jack Monroe flounced from Twitter - Again

[AnonWeeMouse]

This time it looks like she was caught out in regard to addiction faking.

She posted a photo claiming they were of her recovery chip thingies and it was noted that 1 of them was for Cocaine Anonymous and another was for Narcotics anonymous.

She'd denied cocaine use earlier.

Early January she was in the Guardian saying she'd blown to s of donated money on Drink, tramadol and Cotswolds sideboards.
Seems the oddities of her stories are catching up with her.

Curious case of honest mistakes of someone who does good?
Or a devious chancer that's raking in as much as 30k a month of other people's money for doing nothing?

what is TYOJ please?

The Youtuber Owen Jones. He uses a similar 'outrage for attention' model to generate income.

£30k pcm? Is there evidence of this?

Never heard of her, did a quick google and I'm still none the wiser. Chef?

That’s the maximum it could be, if people were all paying for the top tier subscription. In reality that’s unlikely to be the case. It will be somewhere between £2k and £30k.
Even £2k pcm is quite a lot when you consider that she’s doing nothing for the money and hasn’t sent out the promised rewards for over 2 years. She said herself when she set it up that ‘it’s not a donation service’, and she would be providing goods in return, but in reality that hasn’t happened.
She over promised when she set the patreon up; sending out thousands of physical postcards a month was always going to be a tough ask. Most patreons limit it to online content, which is far easier to deliver. However at any point in those 2 years, when she knew she couldn’t deliver the content, she could have paused the patreon and stopped taking the cash. She chose not to, and ignored all requests for an update or a refund.

This is someone who struggles A LOT with her MH and isn’t at the right place at all just now.
she shouldn’t have been on Twitter just now tbh.

As fur being caught and whatnot.
Have people seen how much cocaine has been found in Parliament? Paid by our taxes (which pays fir MOs wages)?

She needs to be duct alone. And fur her to step away from Twitter until she is better.

£30k pcm? Is there evidence of this?

I think PP is misremembering. IIRC 30k (well 28ish) is the minimum possible annual income from her patreon if everyone was on the lowest teir.

I suspect that 30k a month is more than she earns from books and TV, even in a good year, but who can say? What is known is that her claims of poverty are untrue.

If you search JM patreon income there is an analysis somewhere.

I searched her name before I posted, there's not as many threads as other people on the UK media.

Fwiw. After she released her blog last year where she claimed to be 'Boiling soap because she can't afford shower gel' after 10 years doing what she's doing? It doesn't sit right.

A surface level knowledge of Jack you might think she campaigns for change to poverty or food prices etc. With a 550k following on Twitter she could do wonders.

Scratch the surface, just a little, you'll see a different side.
She rarely, if ever, mentions any activism she does. On her twitter feed to those 550k, there's no charity promotion, no campaign promotion, no pointing the followers to charities that need a hand etc.
What there is, or was, is tales of woe is me to emotionally manipulate followers into donating.
She pretends to be poor and working class and yet has £150k worth of possessions in her photos. She claims she's boiling soap and using solar lanterns, but her patreon numbers prove she's getting at least £2k a month if all her subs paid just the lowest tier.
Her Patreon has a max of £44 a month.. with 500 people giving her money, she could be getting £44 × 500 for doing no work.

And that's before you mention the Grenfel blog or the treatment of her pets or the amount she charges for appearances at Google amongst others.

She's not in Poverty, never was, but she's become the acceptable face that's supposed to represent me, my neighbours and my family? All of whom are in actual real poverty..

That's a long post. Sorry, was trying to be clear.

Oh I maybe should clarify Patreon.

If 500 people pay her a set amount each month.
Lowest is £3.50 (£1750 a month from.donations)
Highest is £44 (£22000 a month.)

It was at over 700 people paying her monthly at one time, hence the 30k a month, even at just £3.50, 700 paying that would be more than most earn working full time.

Blimey I thought she was just someone who created budget meal ideas!

Well she occasionally does that, but spend most of her time being snippy on Twitter and soliciting donations from people!

Like rinsing the sauce off of Spaghetti hoops.

I'd just eat the tin of hoops to be honest. Bit of toast. Sorted.

Trust Your own Judgment. Out of curiosity, can you not select text, either your phone or on a tablet, and then get a choice to do a web search for it? It’s very useful, saves waiting for people to answer you, if they even do.

She's a con artist of the first order

Even some of the recipes were tasteless and uninspiring. If they worked out. I thought that was just me. Rinsing beans and hoops was just so unnecessary and a false economy in my opinion.

She's the female equivalent of Farage. Personally I think pleading poverty whilst actually doing very nicely thank you is the lowest

She makes a living out of pretending to be a poor single parent when she is anything but. Pretty disgusting imo

Hmm the lowest is hard to decide.

She's hinted at cancer in the past.
Hinted at suicide and then not posted for a week leaving her followers in a panic, some even suggesting to get the police to do a welfare check. (Meanwhile she was unliking and unfollowing so was well aware of their concerns)
The Kitten - too horrendous for words.
Grenfel and trying to centre herself in it with lies.

One of them is the lowest of the low.

I thought she was relatively harmless, if a bit prone to melodramatic statements and lashing out at anyone who she perceives to be either stealing her target market or criticising her.

But then going down the rabbit hole revealed a whole lot more. There's a really good (but long) blog entry somewhere that walks through the discrepancies in Jack's claims and highlights the fact that she's essentially been scamming the public.

People are loathe to criticise her because she's positioned herself as a poverty-stricken, working class single mum who's claimed at various points to be transgender, non-binary, lesbian (but keeps dating men), autistic, ADHD, bipolar, ex-sex worker, severe arthritis...and so on. Lots of these claims have been called into question, some appear to have been retracted and/or just not mentioned again....she basically jumps on every bandwagon she can find to drum up maximum sympathy.

She is really problematic, and as soon as she seems to have been found out, she flounces off - cue lots of decent, kind people defending her because they just see a young woman under attack.

She's a fraudster, pure and simple. But she's bloody good at it, and you need to dig around a bit to see what she's actually been up to.

@StalkedByASpider she/it is extremely unlikeable!!

I loved it when she was posting about being so hard up, had to flog this and posted a poor me image of her.
Someone pointed out that she was wearing a high end designer scarf.
She replied that she'd found it in a puddle!

Don't get me started on the vintage spoons story.

Awfully Molly has used jack Monroes words to show how many inconsistencies there are in what she posts.

As someone with autistic children her claims to be autistic ( which involve multiple different accounts of her diagnosis) and the way she blames her poor behaviour on her autism are particularly revolting.

Jack is non binary.

I used to be a fan.

As someone with ADHD and other brainworms, their behaviour is damaging to people like me, because now everyone has new reasons to disbelieve ADHD is a thing, and their public behaviour is increasing an already stigmatised condition.

I saw the list of medications they're on, and it's A LOT.

I genuinely think and hope they can go and get some decent help, because they seem to be getting so much worse and causing a tornado of damage the worse it gets.

I don't think the nasty threads about them I've seen are helping at all. The ones on tattle are the worst.

It's just so fucking devastating.

She has said she’s happy with she/her pronouns though, so no one needs to worry about misgendering on this thread.

Had to Google her as never heard of her.

Got bored at non binary as she's clearly old enough to know better yawn

A few days ago JM stated that she spends a fortune on prescription drugs. She could save a fortune with pre-pay but hasn’t got round to it yet, I would be furious if I had donated to her when there is such an obvious way to save money.
