Jack Monroe flounced from Twitter - Again

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?

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.

She blamed that on her adhd

She blames a lot of things on her ADHD, which she then tells everyone she is heavily medicated for. Maybe her particular medication isn’t working?

What happened with the kitten?

I diddnt realise she was back to she/her pronouns again. I used to really rate her and then a friend of a friend had a lot of expensive camera equipment stolen by her on a photo shoot.

Equipment stolen on a photoshoot?! Good grief.

ADHD is a fucker, and medication only goes so far. It's ineffective for quite a lot of people with ADHD.

ADHD absolutely can affect your functioning in many ways.

What it doesn't do is make you lie about shit, or try and swindle people.

Jack is full of shit. I'm not even sure whether I believe that she's autistic with ADHD.

Spoken as someone who is autistic/ADHD herself - I find her pointing to her neurodiversity every time she's caught out to be deeply offensive.

IClaudine · 03/02/2023 17:17

I think she is very, very unwell. She had a chance to have a brilliant and useful career, but she has completely messed it up. I hope her son has people watching out for him.

sandranista · 03/02/2023 17:20

I loosely follow her story on twitter. She comes across as a very unstable woman, a compulsive liar and an unhappy person. I do feel sorry for her and her family. I think we all know people who tell tall tales, but to do it on such a public platform must be especially painful for those who are related to her.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 03/02/2023 17:21

I need to know about the kitten too

Theunamedcat · 03/02/2023 17:23

Tbh anyone can write a list of prescription meds doesn't mean your actually taking it

The kitten died it was sick from the start there was a chance it would make it but be imperfect but it died

It's so ridiculous 'i can't get round to it' yet also proclaims she works 100 hour weeks (essentially for free). They are always centering themselves in the middle of shit that has nothing to do with them, whilst somehow being the empoverished victim. It makes me angry, it feels like she's taking the piss out of people who are genuinely struggling.

She adopted an extremely unwell kitten. She was told by multiple vets to have it out to sleep as it had no chance of survival, but she refused. She made a monetised video on YouTube of her playing with said unwell kitten. It eventually died in great pain after being locked in the bathroom.

Breaks my heart thinking about that poor kitten being locked in a bathroom and used as Little more than a prop in an attempt to get cash.

Fuck that’s cold. Inhuman behaviour.

i know a bit about her and her being a fraud but does she not have a son?how is she looking after him and does she have a partner now?

Yes she has a son, he’s 12/13ish now. Shares care of him with the son’s dad, who is by all accounts extremely involved.
Doesn’t currently have a partner according to her Twitter posts, but did fairly recently tweet about a 6 hour shagathon with someone she called ‘burger boy’.

Cocolapew · 03/02/2023 17:38

I think the son spends more time with his Dad, who has always been in his life.

catskittens · 03/02/2023 17:39

thank god for the dad poor lad

It’s said her sons dad is the main carer and while we don’t know if that’s true or not, she admits he is heavily involved. So her “poor single mum without enough to eat who has to sell her sons toys” is obviously a lie. As an actual single mum who has been on benefits, her lies really anger me.

What that's awful about the equipment. Especially as it was presumably the tools to their livelihood!

Oblomov22 · 03/02/2023 17:51

She does this endlessly, repeatedly. Really not news.

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 03/02/2023 17:59

I don't know why people seem convinced she's not well.

She seems like a shitty grifter to me. She was onto a good thing, fucked it all up (possibly by getting addicted to drugs) and now just jumps on any bandwagon she can find without actually doing anything at all.

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 03/02/2023 17:59

Any man behaving like this wouldn't have nearly so much sympathy.

discobrain · 03/02/2023 18:05

WaddleAway · 03/02/2023 16:53

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

I know they do, they accept she/her or they/them. I'm non binary and don't mind what pronouns people use because people will just assume whatever they want to assume.

It's another nail in the coffin for me so to speak, their status is weaponised too much against those of us who just want to exist and try and get through life. Every time they do something harmful, it's a slap in the face.

Revealing info about your sex life on social media is a recipe for mental health problems. It's a cause and a symptom. I wish she would stop the media career and get a normal job.

IntentionalError · 03/02/2023 18:07

I admire JM. She’s coining it by fleecing the sort of patronising, virtue-signalling, guilt-ridden middle class do-gooders who are gullible enough to believe the poverty porn they read in the Guardian. They think she’s a heroic campaigner, while all the time she is exploiting their naivety. Good luck to her.
