Jack Monroe in court today for CCJ stuff?

Don't know if anyone's been following this but Jack Monroe was supposed to be in court today, don't know the latest?

She hasn't fulfilled patreon rewards for years, taken the money though.
Has asked for donation to her private PayPal for presenter triangle, book donations, website repairing and for a libel case that she never filed.

Court was meant to be at 2pm?

I can't help but think that if someone took Nigella, Jamie etc to court for not sending stuff they were supposed too, more media would be interested? Wonder how Jack avoids scrutiny?

The Jack Monroe obsessives are taking this too far.

A guy took out a one month sub to her Patreon and didn't get the rewards (and I'm assuming he knew she had not fulfilled her rewards so wouldn't get any) and then got a CCJ against her for £10., it's hardly something the media would be interested in.

It definitely has been done maliciously with a whole audience who are hoping to bring her down.

And why not?

If she is effectively defrauding people, why not bring her down?

Or do you think that some people deserve to get away with conning many people out of comparatively small sums? - sums which add up to many, many thousands over time.

Do you think that this is an acceptable form of theft? If so, where is the line between what is OK and what isn't?

JM is the one saying she has been doorstopped by the media? So which is it? I think people just want some accountability and transparency regarding a significant amount of money they’ve given to her.

"Doorstepped by the media" probably means that the local paper boy has shouted "Hiya, missus!" as he's ridden past her home.

The people questioning the motives of the claimant need to consider that she has lost a legal claim. The courts are there to decide if what she has done is illegal or not, they aren’t there to judge the morals or motivations of either party. This is only the latest in a list of CCJs which have been awarded against her (this is the second just this year). You do have to question whether Jack Monroe is the right person to be educating people in poverty about thriftiness and money management. Raking in thousands each month in passive Patreon income and tip jar rattles for everything from media training to website repairs to paying her rent, £10-15k per speaking engagement, dodgy fundraisers and Kickstarters, all while she has active CCJs and flaunting Tiffany earrings and Breitling watches. How does she sleep at night?

How does she sleep at night?

Like a Rembrandt painting, IIRC.

Nothing as far as I can tell, this is a zombie thread. She does appear to have changed her twitter name though.

Ah!

Thank you dear Wench

For the life of me I couldn't remember and then "Rembrandt" popped into my mind.

At least I got the initial letter right! 😄

LandedSentry · 14/06/2024 16:34

The way I look at it - anyone who has given her money has :

a) money to burn!
b) if broke themselves, then probably very naive
c) wanted to take her to court as they knew it would be rubbish returns.

a) and b) of course most likely. Maybe an otherwise gullible b) person suddenly took the hump at being taken advantage of?

She wears a £7k Bretling watch

Shameless. To anyone who has experienced real poverty.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 16/06/2023 12:58

And she doxxed the Claimant. She Tweeted his full name and address, so obviously her flying monkeys utterly harangued the poor bastard.

He reported it to the Met Police with plenty of hard evidence (he's legally trained, so he's not a buffoon) and they said they couldn't do anything, cos they needed more evidence. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Lazy fuckers.

Essex Police have been much more proactive, though, he says.

Even more shameless.

But that was a year ago..... This is an old thread.

She's trying to reinvent herself on Twitter by deleting her old tweets and a change of name. Her Patreon is still open. She says she can't access it but given the amount of lies told in the past I take this with a very large pinch of salt.

Primrosefrill · 14/06/2024 21:15

It’s actually still going, the guy involved tweeted recently. She had issued more tweets saying she’s had to hire bodyguards.

Demigold · 15/06/2024 11:16

Is she receiving the Patreon money?

HatchetJob · 15/06/2024 11:40

Of course she is. She’s trying to distance herself from it because she doesn’t send out any of the rewards. It seems her plan is to try and make people forget they send money to it so it keeps going.
She changes her Twitter header regularly but keeps a link to a patreon she doesn’t receive the money from? Sure… she’s been back tweeting regularly but doesn’t tell people to cancel/pause their payments or contact patreon?
nothing adds up because it never does.

IncompleteSenten · 15/06/2024 11:44

I think her cheerleaders are at this point absolutely committed to defending her because otherwise they have to admit they've been hussled and it's like those romance scams and the rich relative in Africa died bullshit - people fall for it and then don't want to believe they got scammed.

It's why they often get so angry about it

Morph22010 · 15/06/2024 11:55

Ameanstreakamilewide · 16/06/2023 12:50

She wears a £7k Bretling watch.

Yet she says she has to boil up soap to make shower gel. I mean, i don't know where to start with that statement.

You can buy shower gel in Asda for about 30p, prob other places too, surely it’s more expensive in energy to boil up soap

entiawest · 15/06/2024 12:00

Old thread but no harm in publicising the grifter again. She gets off on scamming people and she's told so many lies she probably doesn't remember the truth. She's basically a middle class grammar school gel who threw together some (shit!) recipes and wants us all to believe different

usernother · 15/06/2024 15:00

When she told people she was boiling down soap to make shower gel (instead of just using the soap to wash??) and had removed her lightbulbs in her home, she was raking in a very large monthly amount from her Patreon.

Do journalists doorstep anymore, especially multiple journalists travelling to Southend.
It’s not like they are going to go knocking at her neighbours for information.
Theyd knock at hers, she wouldn’t answer or not be in, so they’d all travel back to their pretend offices on Fleet Street.

every single thing she says is nonsense.

Old thread I know, but I have to reply to this:

A famous person had an affair with someone whose name is very similar to mine (think Sue Jones and my name would be Suzanne Jones). Reporters from the DM, Mirror and others bombarded my social media and phone number with messages. I eventually had to send photos to prove I wasn't her to get them to leave me alone.

But one persistent reporter clearly didn't believe me, so they tracked down my address and turned up at my flat door! I almost wished I was her, it was all so dramatic and crazy. 😂

I doubt it happened to Jack but they definitely DO still doorstep.

Of course she did. . . . 🙄

(We all know that she has an entire burly rugby team to call on for protection if necessary and they offer their muscular protection services fry just to thank her for all she does . . . )
