Almost beats exs family, sent an 'envoy' for his funeral, asked DD, his only child, if they could take a picture of his 3 day old corpse. She said no, they did anyway......

Bertiebiscuit · 30/10/2021 18:01

Yuck that's vile, she is about as shallow vain and obnoxious as a person can be 🤢🤮

funerals are NOT THE PLACE for cameras at all EVER!

disrespectful, bad taste, thoughtless , self absorbed and full of self importance

Jeannie88 · 30/10/2021 18:16

The obsessed selfie lovers just don't know when to stop! Remember the days you took photos of OTHER things and didn't have to be on the picture every time? It's so sad 😞

“Everyone grieves differently” Hmm
“Grieving” by pouting and flaunting your tits’n’bum in selfies for social media in front of the coffin really is not a thing.

Maybe her dad liked her tits and bum and it was a tribute. He had a genetic contribution after all. We shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Wtf?!

I agree with a previous post - the world is currently beyond parody.

REDHERO · 30/10/2021 18:44

You'd have to be pretty dumb to follow 'influencers' like her!

ParrotsAteThemAll · 30/10/2021 19:00

These influencers are living a very privileged and sheltered life. Every post/story they put up can get thousands of likes/gushing comments and you’ll rarely see a negative post as they get deleted, this will also include genuine questions that could be taken as negativity…such as why post this insensitive content.

I’ve enjoyed watching YouTubers over the years for makeup and beauty, but most are now multimillionaires and their content now is all ads for quite random stuff it feels very fake. One I follow felt she needed to treat herself to yet another Chanel bag alongside a large designer clothes ‘haul’ last year as she was struggling with lockdown, this was when most people were struggling to make ends meet or working in the thick of it hoping they don’t catch it and die! I thought this time someone will surely call her out on how ill timed and insensitive it was, but no just lots of gushing.

They really have no idea what reality is anymore so taking a picture next to a dead person doesn’t surprise me one bit.

DDMAC · 30/10/2021 19:16

At the end of the day it’s had the desired effect, she has the attention she wanted, it’s been shared all over. While negative publicity at first, she’s got her name out there now so I’m sure she’ll only get more followers which was really the aim of the whole thing.

Courtier · 30/10/2021 19:26

Tbf it's her dad. She can do what she wants in order to grieve.

AnnieSnap · 30/10/2021 19:27

I don’t like anyone to get ‘roasted’ (although I would make an exception for a couple of people e.g. Johnson), but I understand why this stupid woman is receiving flack.

Like @GoodGrief100 though “I weep for what the world has become, with people like this called 'influencers”

Courtier · 30/10/2021 19:27

@SunshineCake1 there are plenty of influencers in their late 20s, 30s and 40s.

Courtier · 30/10/2021 19:29

I mean BaddieWinkel and Iris Apfel are influencers and they're in their 80s. Pretty sure one just got a Nike collaboration line

She's not the only relative. Many of them could be reeling from this insensitive twattery.

& "grief" takes many forms, but displaying your tits, arse & pout in front of an open casket in response to it is ... original.

SomethingOnce · 30/10/2021 22:21

Ah well at least he’s wiv the angles now

@OverByYer, if ‘angles’ isn’t a typo, hats off to you for the best post in all nine pages. Superb.

Agreed
OhWhyNot · 30/10/2021 22:38

How self absorbed

I think it’s an addiction foe some the attention they get - not that I am excusing this at all it’s grim

carpetbugs · 30/10/2021 22:42

Just further fuels my belief that the world is beyond parody at this moment in time

Yeah you can't make it up

chaosmaker · 31/10/2021 01:17

It's completely up to her and the pressure to have to post 'content' all the time is ridiculous. Maybe the dad would have wanted it. Who knows? Everyone has their own idea of what is or isn't appropriate.

JessieLongleg · 31/10/2021 01:34

They are so ego based one I saw was a fitness influencer and even at her mum's wedding was unnaturally pushing out her bum. Why don't these people get that these events are not to have the camera focused on them. To be honest unless someone pointed out I wouldn't of seen the coffin lol. But maybe he instilled that kinda ego in herself lol.

Poptasmagorical · 31/10/2021 09:52

My dad died this year and, British as we are, there was no open casket - but I still wouldn't take a photo with his fucking coffin! I wouldn't take a photo at a funeral full stop, but if I did it would include a snotty nose and red eyes because it's a fucking funeral!!

REDHERO · 31/10/2021 10:11

Really? None of the other family and friends matter in her search for likes and followers. So self absorbed.
HesterShaw1 · 31/10/2021 10:37

I couldn't do what I wanted when my dad died. Nor did I expect to! Everyone experiences bereavement at some point - they shouldn't expect to go round just doing what they want.

I actually thought it might be nice to get some photos at his wake because there were so many family and friends we hadn't seen for years, and people were enjoying the reunion. But I didn't because I knew some people might think it was in poor taste.

Ilovemymorningtea · 31/10/2021 12:16

Maybe her dad would have wanted her to use the photo opportunity? Just saying…
