Jack Monroe and the missing money.

[Ostryga]

Anyone been following this madness? A thread popped up on my feed today about how JM asked for people to PayPal her cash donations last year to take 3 people to court for slander and libel. It’s now passed the date of when she was able to bring this to court and no sign of any money being returned.

Just seems completely bizarre to me, and now I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and seems this is in no way the first time.

I lost all faith in JM on two things - a) buying what looks like a 'designer dog' while simultaneously moaning about being poor and b) the nasty attack on Jamie Oliver when he was awarded the budget cooking series.

Unfortunately with people like JM, #BeKind only works in one direction (the one which benefits and deflects all criticism from them). As a PP mentioned above, she has a deck of sensitivity cards (disability, neurodiversity, mental health) she pulls out at will to shut down any criticism or as excuses for why she can't be accountable for her behaviour. Awful.

Oh yes I keep forgetting she bought the very large designer dog just weeks before publishing "hunger hurts 2" where she claimed to be so poor she was boiling soap and removing light bulbs. Next level cognitive dissonance.

It would be funny if she hadn't linked to her paypal details.

I would also LOVE a tattle code if anyone has one!

I've sent you one.

Same pretty please!

Oh god I would love a tattle code please, I’m a lurker but it’s hard to keep up without a log in. Pretty please!

Back when I thought that people criticising her were just being nasty with no basis, I watched her brief stint on TV. She was really bad - like REALLY bad.

Oops sorry, that was meant to be a PM. I'll delete.

Totally agree re autistics and trans identities, @PtarmisanCheese . I’m in lots of autistic groups and see it a lot.

Could someone pm me a code please? Tia

Thanks to a kind MNetter I have now finally got access to Tattle and it’s my new addiction like a PP said!

I have DIAGNOSED cyclothymia, EUPD, ADHD alongside a debilitating anxiety disorder. I also have DIAGNOSED Tietzes, osteoarthritis and walk with a stick everyday because of this.

That fucking prick JM boils my piss because she is just playing all of these cards because no one ( in MSM ) has the balls to challenge her on her claims. True, no one has the right to know anyone else’s medical info. But when you’re publicly displaying that info CONSTANTLY and using it to TAKE PEOPLES MONEY and then NOT deliver what you said you would, you can’t hide behind your so - called illnesses when people who’ve donated / are suspicious of you call you out. It does everyone who has a genuine disability / MH disorder a huge disservice because others may look at people like me and think, “oh she’s probably just a grifter like JM”.

Where’s the money Jack?? Where’s the £70k you crowdfunded to sue 30p Lee when there’s no proof of any lawsuit anywhere?? Why are you still taking people’s money?

And MSM get your head out of your arse and start investigating this massive fraud ffs. It’s absolutely shocking what she gets away with and again, the Grendel article she wrote was fucking disgusting and I can’t believe she didn’t get cancelled for that alone, nevermind anything else she’s done. Fuck off.

Urrgh EDIT

I was meant to add - I have all these diagnosed conditions but you don’t see me begging on the internet, buying designer goods, massive sideboards etc then pleading poverty. Get in the fucking bin Jack. Stop cosplaying poverty when there’s real suffering amongst a lot of us who don’t earn 10k plus a year ( or £10k for a speaking engagement…although more fool the idiots who run festivals etc paying for this shite )….

Oh….And take your slop with you.

Additional edit - GRENFELL. Stupid phone.

Hi I’d love a code too.

Here is another wealthy grifter, exploiting vulnerable women https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4811060-until-liz-comes-clean-about-coming-clean-well-keep-on-cleaning-part-3?reply=126366921&utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=share

Here is just an overview. She makes Jack Monroe and they’re like look amateur. The wheels are slowly coming off though as more start to see through her. She has no financial need for people’s money. Least not women who she claims to be helping.

• Liz Fraser is a wealthy individual who was once a TV parenting and family commentator.
• Her parents are millionaires, living locally to her in Oxford, yet she claims to be broke, too ill to work or unable to work because she is a SOLO MUM!
• In the past 2 months she claimed to have a chronic and terminal illness. She flips between CPTSD and PTSD. Long covid, undiagnosed allergies and a few others
• She takes money from vulnerable people, particularly victims of domestic abuse, and uses it to set up businesses that she never sets up and the money is never returned or use disclosed
• One of her recent ventures is Edgeways Press, a publishing company supposedly aimed at empowering women, but she silences any woman who comments on it.it is an obvious cover for her vitriol and revenge towards anyone who she thinks has wronged her
• She has a personal vendetta against her most recent ex-partner, whom she he’s alienated from their daughter's life.
• Liz Fraser frequently shares details of her life online, taunting her exes and presenting herself as a victim to gain sympathy.
• Many individuals who have had direct or indirect experiences with Liz Fraser have come together in a group. The link provided
• People in the group have bought her books, subscribed to online services that were never delivered, and sought advice from her alleged ambassador of a domestic abuse organisation profile, only to be blocked by her.
• Liz Fraser abandoned her three teenagers in Cambridge to start a new life in Venice with her lover.
• She wrote a book called "Coming Clean" about her experiences but omitted the fact that she abandoned her children and that her lover was her friend's husband.
• Some group members suffer from chronic conditions that Liz Fraser claims to have cured miraculously.
• She has also claimed to have a terminal illness that she miraculously cured.
• Liz Fraser has falsely claimed to be homeless while owning properties in Oxford and Venice.
• She encourages financial donations by portraying herself as unable to pay bills or support her children, despite her wealthy parents and her ability to go on overseas holidays.
• The purpose of the group is to raise awareness about Liz Fraser's actions and behaviors so that people can make informed decisions about donating money to her.
• Liz Fraser attracts men's donations by posting provocative photos at opportune times, such as in her underwear or just out of the shower.

Ooh was that to me? Could you please resend? 🙏🏼 Thanks!

I’d love a tattle code if anyone has one to share?

Why do you need a code to use tattle?

It's currently full. You need a code from an established member with a good rating to sign up. I'd hand one out now that I'm in but I haven't yet got the posting history necessary to get one. Or I think they might open for a few new accounts at the end of the month.

Apologies, apparently I've used my four referrals for the month. No idea why they bother with referrals, perhaps it's the basic psyche of wanting something you can't easily get.

Bit late to the party (story of my life!) but I've followed tattle's many threads for a while now. If anyone could please send me an invite code that'd be lovely.

I used to like Jack, there were things I related to - left wing politics, spent time on benefits and with very little money, issues with health etc. She sued Katie Hopkins and that was ace. I had the mistaken impression she campaigned against poverty and inequality and was a good egg.

Then I started to see that people who dared criticise or question were hounded on twitter and written off as variously right wing/ trolls/ homophobes/ misogynists (more recently as terfs). I began to believe her story didn't ring true and seemed made up according to her whim. I found the tattle wiki and then their threads and was thankful it wasn't just me thinking these things.

I knew she wouldn't sue, she does make money from poor and vulnerable people. At court she'd have to lay out her finances for a start. If for nothing else I dislike her for making me agree with Laurence Fox about something.

Apparently she's going to be on BBC Question Time next week. It would be quite something to see her actually answer a question for once.

If anyone else has an invite code down the back of an old cotswold I'd really appreciate it.......

😂

I think it's in Leicester next week. Does anyone live near enough to be in the audience and ask about the money?
