Jack Monroe again

[scabbers44]

Has anyone seen the recent tweet about her pawning/selling three diamond engagement rings? Aibu to think if you are pleading poverty and asking the general public to donate money one week and then showing off pictures of three massive diamonds you own the next, it's never going to go down well? Especially when you are already being challenged on lying and grifting?

For a long time I thought JM was nothing but a force of a good but I can't understand how she can be so tone deaf. It can't be deliberate but equally how can she not realise how it looks to produce three huge rings just a week after claiming she's so skint she needs handouts.

Apologies if there's already a thread on this.

@Smout i hope you like it as much as we do. The bean (not rinsed! 😂), chorizo and onion soup even has my kids asking for seconds. And they claim to hate beans, chorizo and er… onions!

I 2inder if everyone around her is quiet because they are scared of what she would do to them (or more correctly set off against them) if they confirmed the truth.

She's utter chaos on twitter today. It's quite mind boggling!

She’s utterly, repugnantly unpleasant

It’s chaotic as she’s loosing control of the narrative. Everything she is posting is being questioned. She also blocks loads of people but then uses sock accounts to see what people are saying (this is a guess) because she seems to know.
She’s trying to say she is the resident parent of her son today, although I don’t think that’s true. How is the most famous poor single parent going to go forward when she is neither poor or a single parent.

Her entire life seems to be played out on Twitter. I don't know how she has the time for anything else, as she always seems to be tweeting. It's exhausting.

I’ve just read JM’s twitter feed and can’t find anything chaotic other than lots of trolling by other people.

1. she has a tendency to post ridiculous stuff then delete it when called out on it (like her tweet this week saying she would rather gouge her eyes out with rusty spoons than appear on TV. ... Deleted an hour or so later... Followed by various TV appearances. )

2. she's gone in swinging at a journalist who asked a perfectly reasonable question.

(And that's just for starters)

Is it trolling? I mean, some is for sure, and some about her sandwiches or whatever is a bit um nitpicking, but the questions about why she is schrodingers poor person are kind of pertinent.

By trolling do you mean legitimate questions about her Patreon, the Teemill money and her numerous lies?

Besides which, Jack is a master at honing in on someone asking a stupid or insignificant question (of which there are many tbf, because it's Twitter) while ignoring all the big important ones.

She deletes stuff all the time because she gets called out in her posts a lot.

I watched her Edinburgh talk on self care. I think she has some kind of mental health problem, the whole thing was so odd. She spoke some grains of sense and truth, but these were often lost in the rest of what she said. A lot of her talk seemed more aimed at rebutting her trolls than setting out self care tips.

The trolls should leave her alone, if she doesn't have anyone to butt heads with, maybe she can focus on getting the support she needs. I feel sorry for her son. I hope someone is protecting him from seeing some of the stuff posted online, including some of the stuff she posts herself.

Questioning someone who is quite openly lying about things is not trolling. She is taking money off people (in her PayPal and for ‘charity’) and questioning her is exactly what people should be doing.

I don’t think she is interested in getting better. The lure of fame and the cash that follows is strong. There’s no way she’s going to get an ordinary job on an ordinary wage which is what she actually needs to do.

No, but endlessly tweeting her and picking apart everything she does or says is never going to elicit the information people seem to be looking for. Far better for someone with the necessary journalistic expertise to investigate behind the scenes, but there does not seem to be much interest in doing this. That is probably because she is simply not famous or wealthy enough to be of any real interest to the general public.

I have read some of the Tattle threads about her, and although really good questions are raised there is also a lot of vile stuff said about her that would be horrendous for her son to read.

But is their media appetite to investigate her, or is she quite useful to them?

Easy talking head who ticks a lot of boxes and is reasonably palatable to audiences, who (unintentionally?) feeds into the narrative that people can actually feed themselves adequately on £20 a week if only they try hard enough.

I think there have been a number of critical pieces over the years, but it doesn't seem to change things. Without the pressure of social media criticism, where's the incentive?

There not their, OMG 😫

Am not sure Jack can claim high ground on what her son reads about her given she said she was going to give him access to her own Twitter acct to manage it. Her own tweets would be shocking enough to expose him to.

Not to mention the constant death and other threats she claims to receive on there.

Yeah, but the spiteful posts on Tattle about how she must "honk" etc etc are inexcusable and a distraction from the potentially more problematic issues. In fact, it makes it easier for people to dismiss the more genuine and serious concerns as just another element of nasty gossip.

She was going to let a CHILD manage a Twitter account?

Yes I'm sure there are a lot of vile things for her son to read that other people have written. It's arguably worse for him to read his mum is constantly talking about suicide

I can believe she does. Most woman with a high profile on social media get threats of violence/sexual assault, wherever they sit politically.

Yes 😒

She recently posted screen shots of her bank accounts in zero and minus figures to shut someone up when they claimed she was a millionaire. But now apparently she isn’t in poverty? Make it make sense!

I could easily show you bank account 2ith my name with £2 in it. Just have more than 1
