Liz Jones

[WildSnail]

Firstly, please don't all murder me for being a reader of the Mail (only on a Sunday and mostly for the You magazine) but I seriously wonder how Liz Jones is still employed? Every week her column gets more and more batshit but also completely mundane.... and how is she getting away with telling lies so much?!

Some examples of the past few weeks....

1. Claiming to have slept with Michael Hutchence (as if)
2. Claiming to have paid £120,000 for a medical check up appointment
3. Says she lives in a vicarage when it's the annex
4. Claims it's a 40 mile round trip to the nearest bank and she has to go to York for a hairdresser - I live in the nearest town which is approx. 8 minutes away and has a population of 120,000 - hardly rural!
5. Also claiming to live in Yorkshire and not County Durham

I know they are just small things but it's just so weird that she still gets paid for this utter drivel... although maybe the readers are all like me and do it out of morbid curiosity to see what she's going to lie about next!

I haven't read her for years, and even then it was for the (unintentional) comedy value.
Good to see the daft old bat is still going strong.

I used to read with mild amusement but now it's pretty much just a constant WTF. She was really derogatory about a woman recently who then called her out on Instagram (and who happens to be utterly stunning - not a fur-hatted dwarf as Liz called her). She did not like that!

I know someone who lives in the midlands and “has” to go to London for a hairdresser. So I assume what she means is that she’s not trusting some local yokel to wield scissors on her locks (has she still got that awful lank long hair with what looks like a black box dye).

but yeah, the rest is bullshit. I imagine it always has been. Didn’t the locals of Somerset deny she was being hounded out when all she wrote about was the abuse from locals?

She's batshit, and I haven't read her column for many years either.

I seem to remember reading that when she lived in Devon/Somerset (Dulverton, I think) and she kept horses. She couldn't let the horses have mains water in their trough or buckets (whatever horses drink from). She had to buy Evian bottled water for them.

Batshit, with probably more money than sense.

The Myla thong is apparently going strong!
She’s just had a new set of Turkey “ teef” and her gums lowered
She’s made very unwise choices in men
One minute she seems to be poverty stricken, the next she’s spending enormous amounts on beauty procedures and her new home. .Perhaps she gets lots of freebies.
For someone with low esteem, she seems to think she is a sex siren ! In the end she always comes back to poor old, long suffering David, who she’s often critical about in her diary.
She comes across as very odd, afraid of ageing and full of self pity.

I used to read her column in the mail on Sunday and it was funny and edgy. Last time I read it it was just a constant tirade of things that are wrong in her little world. I read the paper online but refuse to pay to read certain articles....

I'd just about managed to forget about the Myla thong and now you've reminded me... I'm still scarred from her rampant sex sessions with the German (who wasn't German and was actually called Nigel and who gave her gonorrhoea of the throat)

She has so little self awareness that if I didn't know better I'd claim she was a parody. Tomorrow's column starts with her proclamations about being a size 6... well Liz so am I, so are lots of people - it's not that unusual!

I used to read her ‘religiously’ despite not being a DM reader, my old workplace used to subscribe around twenty years ago and I got hooked on her carcrash diarising. It was my Sunday morning staple along with the archers omnibus.
I still like to keep abreast of her shenanigans but she’s not the draw she used to be, still a car crash but less amusing now, generally quite cross and a bit sad and more than a bit chaotic.

its hard to feel sorry for her as she says such horrible things, I’ve long believed she might be undiagnosed neurodivergent and having been undiagnosed and hard to be around for so many years.
she has been able to live quite unfettered by societal norms and expectations and things which make her uncomfortable are expressed in a way that makes her seem inflexible and generally horrible where she hasn’t learned to temper her behaviour or opinions (my theory).

I feel sorry for her ex The Baker and will be ever curious about her relationship with her long suffering assistant Nic and will always wonder who was the mysterious Rock Star.
i do believe he exists and that she had a relationship with him but I don’t know if his genre is actually ’rock’ .

She’s a fantasist. 🤷‍♀️

Gonorrhoea of the throat 🙈🫣🫨
I enjoyed the little drama where his real life girlfriend identified herself in the comments as an absolutely stunning woman, at least 30 years younger than Liz, a great turn of events after such a piss poor effort over the last few years

I've never understood anyone employing her as a journalist /writer, she's always been as flakey as it's possible to be.

Someone I know knows her and apparently her rate a few years ago was £100 a word!

She was the one who 20 years ago lied to her husband about her age until their wedding night and was surprised when he was raging.

then slagged off her husband in her column every week and then wondered why it went wrong?

Haven’t read her for years, but I still remember her saying (when she was utterly broke) that £50 Jo Malone candles were some of her ‘essentials’. And how she needed to wipe all her face potion bottles and jars every night, with a cloth that had been wrung out in boiled water. Bonkers!
