Complete with 'sad face'.

Aibu to think she deserves all the backlash that she's getting for this?

It's fascinating how 'influencers' social norms change when they're desperately chasing clicks and engagement on their social media profile. There is no occasion that can't be monetised.

Amazed she didn't have a mother or sibling to slap her chops and say 'inappropriate, twat face'. (I feel like chops being slapped at a funeral, while not ideal, is preferable to doing sexy poses in front of your dad's corpse)

Just further fuels my belief that the world is beyond parody at this moment in time
SM has been the curse go this era. I have seen similar but it was some one taking selfies grinning with family members she hadn't seen for a while - at her dads funeral too, posted on facebook. Looked like she was having a blast. That was actually a few years ago so I am not surprised at this at all.

Its not something I would do and can't imagine why anyone would. But its her dad and her bereavement, so I don't think anyone except their family and friends need be concerned.

Port1aCastis · 29/10/2021 16:02

Jesus wept what a self centered disgrace, she should be ashamed thoroughly ashamed of herself she deserves any flack she gets
When my Dad died I was in bits not getting my arse out!

Well no, but she did post the photos publicly.

No I don’t think she ‘deserves’ backlash. Everyone grieves and mourns differently and everyone’s relationships with their family are different. If her family aren’t upset by it, it’s no one else’s place to be upset by it.
We have a weird attitude to death in this country and normalising funerals is important to take that stigma away,

There's no stigma around funerals in this country. What are you on about.

When my mother died I was completely numb and unable to cry, react or feel anything. I have cried more at fictional characters dying on tv shows than I did at her funeral. Grief doesn’t work the same for everyone.

Except presumably it's all over sm so she wants the world to know Hmm

Yes, let's normalise this self-obsessed craziness

'Don't be sad that your dad is dead. Look on it as an opportunity!'

Have no idea who she is but... Wow! That is err...wow!

This is just...wow!

Yeeeeeesss… but no one poses all bummy and pouty in front of a casket as part of a funeral ritual, do they? She’s not normalising a regular ritual. And I’m quite happy with there still being some stigma around “social media arse shots in front of corpses”.

This is what social media is telling our daughters to aspire too.

No wonder there is a lack of women going into stem subjects. It's more aspirational to be a pole dancer than a scientist.

AryaStarkWolf · 29/10/2021 16:08

That last one "Look at my sad face and my boob" Grin

Pretty grim

If you're right I'm glad I have a son, and another son on the way

She did post them publicly and I'm not saying people shouldn't have an opinion. After all that's exactly what she wants, the attention from the controversy, which she hopes will make her memorable in a sea of other people trying to do the same . I'm just saying that personally, if the family aren't offended I don't see why I should be.

We don't know if her family are offended or not.

Her dad would’ve approved of those poses? Blush wow.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 29/10/2021 16:10

My dad would actually find the wherewithal to momentarily re-inhabit his mortal form and bellow 'For the love of God would you stop that prancing in front of my coffin'.

ScreamingMeMeSawUs · 29/10/2021 16:10

Off the scale narcissism. Social media was a big mistake.
