The owner of hate forum Tattle Life has today been legally named as Sebastian Bond. He also goes by the alias Bastian Durward. He has tried to flee to Asia to avoid paying his legal costs.

I read both and here can definitely get nasty. I only scan a few threads in there and don’t see nastiness between posters, I follow the celebrity gossip pages and some TikTok ones.
people do sometimes get mean about the celebs/ influencers for sure

Helpmeplease2025 · 13/06/2025 21:09

Influencing shouldn’t be a job. Tattle does God’s work, as far as I am concerned. They were the site to unmask all the undeclared ads years ago

And yes, I know one in real life. She’s sold her kids childhood for free shite. Vile, and I hope all these poor kids sue their parents in years to come.

Same could be said for MN. Some people are vile on here.

If anything way more brutal than Tattle.

It’s just as bad here.

It really isn't. I've been here for many years and I've never once seen the vile posts that fill tattle.

SerendipityJane · 13/06/2025 21:17

He also goes by the alias Bastian Durward.

The clues were all there ...

Foreverm0re · 13/06/2025 21:20

Tattle is brilliant. It’s not a hate site at all. People here are worse. The forums I frequent are doing our best to stop awful family vloggers from exploiting their own children and vulnerable fans, nothing hateful about that. Also telling the truth about someone does not make you a “troll”.

PomeloOud · 13/06/2025 21:24

I like Tattle. It can seem quite shocking as it’s not as restrictively moderated as MN, but any threads I look at are largely unremarkable. They are so good at calling out the bullshit of TikTokers, and some influencers. They also take the piss out of MN threads, and it’s usually justified.

Sometimes it can cross a line and reduce itself to nasty bitching. I once got a telling off from the mods for posting positively about an influencer 😂 But on the whole, it’s refreshingly honest.

DisabledNurseofTiktok · 13/06/2025 21:25

I quite enjoyed reading tattle, especially the section about malingerers on tiktok. They give the rest of us a bad reputation, and that’s one of the reason my content is not purely disability based. I don’t want to be associated with people faking their disabilities or making them out to be worse than they actually are, or even worse using their disabled kids for views. These people absolutely need calling out.

It’s just as bad here.

I disagree. There is a lot of basically nasty stuff there.

baggybags · 13/06/2025 21:29

It’s just as bad here.

Amen

Koazy · 13/06/2025 21:30

Tattle is a million times worse than here. Some of the posters are obsessed stalkers

baggybags · 13/06/2025 21:31

Some of the Meghan Markle bashing on here is outrageous.

Bumblebleed · 13/06/2025 21:35

Tattle is just as toxic as MN

actually…I retract that. MN is worst

EzioAuditoredaFirenze · 13/06/2025 21:37

timetochangethering · 13/06/2025 18:53

TBH it really needs to close as there is some awful stuff on there.... and some pretty toxic posters.

This is fucking hilarious considering you're posting on MN. I've seen more toxicity and viciousness here than almost any other forum.

I'd never even heard of that web site til you mentioned it. Had a 30 second look. just looks like people discussing public figures to me. Same as happens on MN and anywhere else in life.

Everyone on tattle is only being mean about people who post their lives in public

they users are mostly very nice to each other

unlike this site where people are vile and nasty to other users.

I think that’s very true. I’m not a member of Tattle but I read a number of threads regularly, and I always think that there are some very funny and astute posters, particularly the posters on the Mumsnet threads😆

theyallwent · 13/06/2025 21:44

MN can be fucking awful but … that’s not its raison d’etre (phone didn’t like that phrase) is it?

Tattle’s is: it’s whole reason for existing is to tear people down, which is a bit unpleasant.

That said I don’t mind some of the stuff calling out bull shit but many threads go way, way too far.

PonyPatter44 · 13/06/2025 21:46

I really don't see Tattle as a "hate site" - it's a bit robust sometimes but generally the people they focus on are pretty grotesque. I read Katie Price, Jack monroe, L1z Fr4ser (faffed about with for tact), alice evans, Liz jones and Conor Mcgregor, every single one of whom deserves the opprobrium they receive. .

MintChocCat · 13/06/2025 21:46

There is a locked thread on there about it… 👀

scoopoftheday · 13/06/2025 21:52

I see some influencers I follow posting that tattle users will be "outed" when their details are handed over.

Tattle doesn't concern me as I don't use it, but I'd worry it would set a precedent for the likes on MN and other forums where people post anonymously.

People post on her often in their darkest hours, under a pseudonym, it seems to be similar on tattle life. (Anonymous I mean)

How would this work for every other anonymous website if the names/details of posters are handed over? And is there potential for other websites to follow suit?

TeachesOfPeaches · 13/06/2025 21:52

Influencers wouldn’t know what was being said on tattle if they didn’t actively go to the website to read it

I actually found this an interesting take, there is some truth in it. I do, however, find that there is something really unwell with the way people obsess and bitch over some of the influencers etc and think it’s a weird thing to bond over. Bonding over a mutual hatred of a celeb seems sick.

ThePunnyPeachDuck · 13/06/2025 21:55

I really enjoy a few wines and a bit of tattle on a Evening

MyRootinTootinBaby · 13/06/2025 21:56

How would they be able to out users? You don’t have to hand over your details to post on here; I assume it’s the same for other sites?

ThatCyanCat · 13/06/2025 21:58

CocoLocoPocoMoco · 13/06/2025 20:39

I’ve never been personally victimised here - and I’m talking ‘in real life’ situations where my safety has been a concern. I have from tattle. Mumsnet hasn’t made me suicidal. Tattle has.

What happened? Are you a public figure?
