I've unfollowed quite a few off the back of it too.

wannabestressfree · 02/10/2018 20:25

I posted on her original post which only has a passing resemblance to the one there now. It was sneery and for an intelligent woman I hated god 'no one does forum's'

I am not pointing figures but that thread was not all about her and she did the usual of 'call in the flying monkeys' and everyone swarms. I have read one 'influencers' posts in the week where she breaks from the norm and runs down the marks and Spencer mummy crowd but she is quite bolshy and holds her own. She is quite unusual in her stance.....

Anyhow I may have spectacularly missed the point but I felt the nastiness was unwarranted. For what? The recognition that her 'brand' had raised money and been a success was always there. Am a bit bewildered by it all.....

I really dislike that whole Dump and Run thing that some of they do. Create an inflammatory post where you play the victim, fan the flames by letting it run wild for the whole day, gather the likes and then disable the comments like it all never happened. About a jumper fgs.

MrBull · 02/10/2018 20:47

All the comments are gone, not just disabled.

@SpiritLeveller MOD is a HUGE fan of doing that...

aliceinwonderlust23 · 02/10/2018 21:15

SM was meant to be doing a collab with SWCBN...

An instamum/brand collaborating with the anti instamum. Imagine how badly that will go down when she realises who might be wearing her #povertporn slogan jumpers Confused

Cobrider · 02/10/2018 21:17

Neom liked it? That’s another one unfollowed then.

SpiritLeveller · 02/10/2018 21:23

How do you know they were planning a collaboration? It sounds so unlikely, I can’t get my head round that at all.

glagdy · 02/10/2018 21:25

@aliceinwonderlust23 well damn. Are you sure??! Confused

EvePolastri · 02/10/2018 21:32

Where's the thread about CC and her band.... it's on insta saying we are slating her?

aliceinwonderlust23 · 02/10/2018 21:35

I remember reading under someone's comment I think it was on that satire account The Influencer Trainer?

EeebyMum · 02/10/2018 21:36

I think it’s blurring the fact with the fiction again #whenindoubtmakeitup

Cobrider · 02/10/2018 21:39

CC is desperate to be discussed I think, hence her latest posts. No one is interested anymore. Her follower numbers are dropping every day.

EvePolastri · 02/10/2018 21:41

So there's no mumsnet thread about her? I've been working all day so thought I'd missed it

aliceinwonderlust23 · 02/10/2018 21:45

@EvePolastri

no MNHQ delete them before we can even say Teresa May. But they let a years worth of Instamum threads run and run and run, 5 or 6 I recall at one busy period this year? SWCBN is exempt from any form of discussion on here. Maybe she can give her pal SM some tips on how to pay legal fees to threaten MN with a cease and desist?

wannabestressfree · 02/10/2018 21:54

I am feeling particularly dim as I don't know who you are talking about....

glagdy · 02/10/2018 22:00

@EvePolastri there has been no thread today. She's making shit up now.

SpiritLeveller · 02/10/2018 22:02

We said that about the jumper and look how that turned out Wink

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 02/10/2018 22:16

Who is swbcn?

PeppaP · 02/10/2018 22:17

She who can’t be named

PeppaP · 02/10/2018 22:18

Oops. Initials CC, not a Tory.

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 02/10/2018 22:19

Oh gosh of course, what an idiot ha!

Mightymousie · 02/10/2018 22:58

How can there be a thread hating Olly Murrs because ‘he’s a cock’ but an instafamous person cannot have an action critisized. It’s crazy on here!

AtHomeInFrance · 03/10/2018 04:39

One of the more celebrity Instamums actually posted words to the effect....... if you start a thread AIBU, then generally the answer is yes. Quite the empathy for someone ttc. I really didn't get SM's assertion that she wouldn't have a forum - is that not just the same as "I won't allow conversation/debate or even dissent" - strange old place Insta.

Mightymousie · 03/10/2018 07:19

@athomeinfrance I saw that too. That person is so fake now though. Her comments time and again show its all just ‘me, me, me’. The gram and the followers just equal fame and money. Given her USP you would expect understanding and support for those ttc or who took a long time.
Given her ‘essentials’ for babies includes ‘sleepyheads, deliveroos and Ubers ’ I’m not sure people should pay too much attention.
