Jack Monroe and the missing money.

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.

but then I remember a later post where she announced she was now a woman once again?

What did they start off in life as?

That's why she has the gall.

I guess!

A girl. But she changed her name to Jack Monroe and told everyone to not mention her gender whilst highlighting her gender at every opportunity including using a gendered title in her first books title.

People are afraid to criticise her because then you are immediately branded a TERF, Tory, hater of poor people, unsympathetic to mental illness....

As they say in Succession, what are the optics?

I’ve been observing this since her unfair rant against Jamie Oliver at the start of lockdown. Before that I didn’t know much about her but rather admired her.

Recently she seemed to have had a number of chances at literary festivals and the Question Time gig. Also, she’s been managing to keep quiet on twitter.

I haven’t watched Question Time, but have read she got a couple of well received comments in. I also read she disclosed some stuff about her son that she really shouldn’t.

Last night she seemed very buoyant and proud of herself on twitter. (No criticism, I’d be bouncing with relief if I got through being a QT panellist in one piece).

But then today she’s doxxed someone on twitter who has been sueing her for unfulfilled patreon rewards. I suspect this person signed up in order to do this, but they wouldn’t have been able to if she just delivered what she promised. It is her fault she was able to be taken to court for patreon non delivery.

She took money to sue 30p Lee into her PayPal rather than a transparent crowdfunder. I’m no lawyer, but even I could see that her crowing and retweeting what he said diminished any slim case she had.

There are a few accounts that tweet about her negatively every day. They are able to let her claim trolls etc. In reality they enable her to throw a smoke screen around all the valid criticisms that are made about her.

I think her PR and management team have kept her very quiet recently, but she will never be able to stop herself and I think her doxxing an account today is really grim.

Sorry for the rant!

She works 22 HOURS a DAY, for LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE, and she has a CHILD and a HUGE DOG and a SH!TTY BUNGALOW, and THE COTSWOLD SIDEBOARD COMPANY🔺 and a TEAM OF STAFF🔻 to support, and her shoulder is OUCHY.

🔺Other sideboard companies are available

🔻Somebody has to rinse those beans while she is forensically, assiduously, militarily DEVISING RECIPES and INDEXING PRICES and PROTECTING THE POOR and being an ACTIVIST, @Eranou !

Do you want her to STOP BREATHING?

She changed her name because she said she was being stalked by an ex.

She changed her name because she said she was being stalked by an ex.

She also said she changed her name to get ahead in the media - that her name was too “foreign” to be acceptable.

So which is it? 🤣

Personally I think she changed her name to piss off Mummy and Daddy, an explanation which fits pretty much everything she’s done during her adult life.

Occasionally I start to feel sorry for her @Tombero - I've asked for my posts to be deleted before because I felt I was too cruel - but then she does something like this and I think - "Nah! She's awful"

usernother · 02/06/2023 20:05

She's said before she deleted the doxxing tweets she's been doxed on Twitter. I've been on Twitter for years and I've never seen any mention of where she lives or her phone number. Anyone know if this is is true? Still no excuse for what she did.

WhoWants2Know · 02/06/2023 20:28

Well, she did post a photo of her dog with her phone number clearly displayed on the collar, so... I guess?

She posts lots of pictures of her house and describes what she loves near etc.

People from more notorious websites than Twitter and Mumsnet pieced the info together on Google Maps and found where she lives.
It wasn't that difficult and anyone can do it just from reading some of her tweets etc.

On Mumsnet, they'd call it 'outing yourself' and you'd ask for it to be pulled.
Of I said in one thread I live in Coventry.
Then in another thread said I live not far from the big Ricoh.
Then another thread said I can see a motorbike shop from my window.
Then shared a photo with my front door in the back ground...
