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.

Ah yes, it is all 'cos she is a woman and there is a conspiracy against her 'cos Tory critic.

Does this actually make sense in your head?

She is a classic example of someone who should never, ever be on social media. She has serious mental issues which have been obvious for years. Most influencers do, I think. Living your life on the internet just leads to misery.

Her recipes are terrible too. Any Indian cookbook will teach you far better recipes at a lower cost.

There was a twitter user called Awfully Molly who wrote a lot about Jack. I found some of it quite obsessive but she did make several valid points and uncovered a lot of problems. As far as I can see she's no longer on Twitter - apparently people tried to doxx her. I'll leave it up to you to think about who that might be. Her work is archived here though https://archive.ph/jiQRj
She goes into a lot of detail about where the money might have gone.

Grifting seems to be a growing economy. There is a great thread on here about Liz Fraser and her money “exploitation” projects.

The group members either know her, have been mugged off by her or followed her on social for whatever reason. It’s hilariously funny snd a nice community. Not bitchy, but observant.

Liz Fraser’s life is a living soap opera. She’s the perfect example of why we should be careful of what we wish for!

• She veers from pleading poverty, to chronic illness, for a while alluding to terminal.
• Has claimed to be homeless, unable to work through illness. Unable to feed her 4 children.
• Domestic abuse victim at the hands of multiple men.
• Claims to be trolled by women - reality, women who don’t praise her
• She crowd funds to set up businesses. The businesses never come to anything. Money just disappears
• The latest is a publishing house for women, by women
• She preys on her vulnerable males following built up by posting pictures of her in her pants
• she preys on victims of domestic violence, built up by claiming to be the ambassador for a DV organisation

The lists goes on.

Like Jack, she has a virtual begging bowl.

She’s written a few books on parenting, family life and addiction. Professes to be an expert in all. She’s don’t some press snd TV interviews on the topic.

As it turns out:

• she had two mortgage free homes. One in Oxford one in Venice
• her parents are multimillionaires
• her DV claims are spurious
• she broke up her family by having multiple affairs - with husbands of friends
• Left three of her then teenage children in the uk to pursue a toxic love affair in italy with husband of friend and child she had with him
• He left her. She is furious and is Waging a very public vendetta against him
• She refused to let him see their 5 year old child despite living a mile apart
• she is always the victim

She shouldn't be on social media. I remember the chef she had a relationship with saying she could't persuade her away from it. The worst people are those on Twitter who egg her one and make her feel faultless and invincible. She seems to have a list of bogeymen she works down in order to avoid personal responsibility - with 'transphobic' feminists high up it.

Why would people "bulk buy" tickets?
And then not turn up?

Seems counter intuitive. Lets spend money, that'll really hurt her. And then if we dont turn up that will burn.

Bit of a weird thing to say.
I boycott m and s among others, I dont go ordering stuff then not turn up to collect. I simply never go inside the shops or order online.

It’s a stupid lie.

The Guardian article was actually quietly, sneakily damning. I don’t think Jack quite realised how badly she came off.

when she gets called out plays the MH/ADHD card

Not to mention the homophobia card, transphobia card, racism (47% Greek or some such which opens her up to racial hatred it seems) card, the autism card, the "ouchy shoulder" card etc - she has a full deck . . .

ok, Jack, thanks for that

My brother described her as Trand-poor
which cracked me up

Ooh another Mumsnet Jack Monroe Pile on thread!

Do we alternate between her and Meghan Markle ?

I'm also fascinated by which public figures are fair game, and which are beyond reproach on here.

The ones that defraud the public and vulnerable people are fair game.

Jack herself encourages a good pile on. Like the time with the poor disabled man who was defending her and she misinterpreted it and told him to go outside and feel the grass…..poor man.

Ah cool,

So we can discuss Kate and Gerry McCann and their funding as well can we? Do character assassinations on them constantly?

Thought not.

In fact Id be surprised if this post last five minutes.

It's just very selective who this site gies after, and boy do they repeatedly go after the ones on their hate list.

What fraud did they commit? They had donations to help with the search and living expenses and were upfront with that. Jack isn’t. She’s a fraudster.

Fairly sure the McCanns have had their fair share of absolute pastings on Mumsnet over the years!

Have you SEEN what's been said about the McCann's over the years?!

The absolute worst thing about the JM grift, it is that those she pretended to help were the ones who were conned the most. Awful Mollie wasn't that awful IMO. I fell for this scam - I actually think she should be behind bars for fraud.

I don't like MM either, as it happens @Lovemylaminator for similar reasons. Not keen on people who lie for £££££££

She solicited donations for a libel case that did not go ahead and that she must have known wasn't going ahead for a long time (possibly almost a year). She asked for that money to be paid into her personal PayPal account, not a crowdjustice account or any other legitimate platform where people can get their money back.

That's fraudulent

There is no need as MN have clarified who you are allowed to tear down and who you aren't on this thread.

According to something posted on mumsnet a while back, she promises art postcards and recipes or some such on her patreon (or similar), and has yet to fucking deliver.

Amazingly people are still members, and amazingly the web service that hosts it dont' want to get involved, so she's still creaming it for absolutely nothing

Are you saying that people shouldn’t criticise grifters?

Because I’d put jack munro in the same category as Anna Delvey. Just one pretends to be poor, the other very rich. But the aim is to live a comfortable lifestyle off other people’s money either way.

Jack doesnt sock puppet at all?

Since you are such an advocate what has she done to earn the patron money?
