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.

She has talked openly on Twitter about a range of topics that would be horrible for her son to read. I won’t go into it too much as it may be upsetting, but needless to say it’s stuff that no child should have to hear their parents talking about. A few people taking the piss out of her on a forum is nothing by comparison.

I am talking about the stuff posted on Tattle about her dress sense, that she smells etc.That sort of nasty bullying shit has nothing to do with delving into the veracity of her financial circumstances. It doesn't help matters as people won't take the accusations levelled at JM seriously when they are garnished with that sort of spite. The Molly blog set everything out pretty well without stooping to gutter level.

I agree @ClaudineClare .pointing out obvious lies is one thing, but I really dislike the bitching about her clothes /appearance etc (save where it is relevant as it contradicts the story of abject poverty she likes to weave - eg the obvious Botox/fillers)

Exactly @SweetSakura

This was quite a calculated and terrible post.

She is despicable.

That is, that is, something alright.

That is, that is, something alright.

It seems part of a pattern to me, I’m afraid. She gets called out on something and it’s shut down, evade, evade, threaten and then when that still doesn’t work suddenly there are tweets about her neurodiversity, immigrant status, health.

That is appalling.

BTW -- I agree that personal comments regarding her hygiene etc are out of order.

On a lighter note, on Twitter again, she tells us that all clothes are unisex ... and a few tweets later, explains how she folds, chops and stitches men's clothes to fit.

Read her slagging off Tom Kerridge and Marcus Rashford for their full time meals Instagram. Said it was her idea, as was Jamie Oliver's latest TV show. Green eyed scammer begging for money. She's in the same group as Lawrence Fox, the NF guy etc, begging for money on PayPal, Patreon etc. The awful thing is, is it's poor people who sign up for the £3 pm to help poor Jack out. She must be coining it, media appearances pay, Instagram clicks pay, the woman was never poor, from a middle class family.

This is Jack’s response to the cancer post. It is so disingenuous. Why would you post that picture if you had just found a lump?

@Penny242 Well if she was concerned about rising prices etc, etc, might be an idea not to purchase 77 lipsticks and better yet, certainly not post a photo of them all!

I can't believe that people are still defending her when her outright lies have been proven time and time again.

Her poverty cosplay is downright dangerous (see the advice she gives regarding paying/not paying for energy) and could very well cause further damage to those she is claiming to be champion for.

She's a grifter and the sooner her scam is fully revealed, the better.

That photo is made to look like she has lost her hair. Ghoulish.

I see she has done another performance poverty shop. I’m sorry if people really do think you and a teenager and a dog and cat can live on so little.

I had a peak and I think I recognize the trainers. That would be lots of shops there if I am right🙈

But shoes are important. Wouldn't even say anything if it weren't for the mention of the trousers price

@Flymetothezoom do you have a complete screenshot to show the photo and the tweet were posted at the same time? I ask because that photo was around long before that tweet. Google it and you will find it referenced on Tattle in 2020.

Ooh, does MN not allow links to Tattle?

They weren't posted at the same time. The sad/scared face preceded the oncologist post by a few months. This is quite often her MO -she'll breadcrumb sometimes to build a storyline and sometimes, I think, to bait.

So this is food for 2 ‘active’ adults and a teenager, for a week.

She tweeted today that she didn’t tell anyone at the time of her cancer scare but a quick Google shows that this is also a lie. www.indy100.com/amp/jack-monroe-women-check-breasts-gifs-twitter-cancer-cyst-7897921-2656345237

That is not a shop that feeds two adults for a week Maybe if you have other items in already but then you’re not budgeting £20/week

she does so much harm with this

I don't understand why she bought 2 bags? I know it's only 40p, and it's daft to be annoyed, but it's a kick in the teeth to people who are really struggling to put food on the table. That 40p could have bought another loaf of bread, pasta, soup, beans etc. When you're struggling you don't waste 40p on 2 plastic bags.

Also where's the pet food?

No - this is another of her "tricks" . She said prior to shopping she had done a stock take. Her freezer is a treasure trove of gems - she was gifted loads of fish a while back, she bought a goats leg about 4 months ago and am not sure it was ever mentioned again. So she has a cupboard/freezer/larder store to draw upon that will not reflect the lived experience of the people she purports to help. It is another of her disingenuous and dangerous messages.
