Is bad publicity always still a good think? John Clark.

[ICaughtTonsillitisFromAFriendsKid]

I hadn't heard of John Clark. He's a social media person who has published two books.
Now he has been "dropped" by his publisher - although there were no more books in the pipeline. Could this just be a publicity stunt?

For me, I now know who he is, and I think he's awful and I won't buy his books. If nothing else, if that is how he speaks to or of his wife and daughter(s), I'd rather give him the message that I won't be buying.

But yeah, didn't know who he was so probably wouldn't have bought anyway!

Yanbu - i won't be buying his books
Yabu - Meh couldn't get worked up about it.

I can't see how this is a publicity stunt. The videos he posted are absolutely vile.

If you look at his page on Facebook you'll see that everyone is asking Amazon for a refund on his books and Amazon are refunding even if you're out of the 30 day window.

His career is over.

Used to buy Into his program and books, I still religiously meal prep and it has changed my life. But his latest outburst is disgusting, I feel sorry for him. Clearly he has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and drugs. I won't be buying anymore of his books.

Apparently he's got form for being a misogynist twat ..... he got a suspended sentence for beating up an ex girlfriend.

I don't feel sorry for him. You could tell he meant every word.

That's really interesting, well done Amazon!

Very sad for his wife and daughter.

Definitely not a publicity stunt
I've seen a message he sent my friend, that was 2014 and it's just as vile as the live videos (I was up late so caught most of them)
He basically hates women and fat people

Women want to “self-sabotage men”? How does that work?

I’m surprised he’s had books published… apart from being a cunt he’s as thick as two short planks.

It seems really odd then, if it's genuine. Because surely women are his key audience?

What on earth was he doing a live stream for?

What on earth did he marry a woman for?!

I think he likes feeling like he getting one over people .... that's the vibe I got from his videos.

What on earth was he doing a live stream for?

Drink and drugs, plus an overinflated ego

What on earth did he marry a woman for?!

Why do any misogynistic men marry women?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just had a look on his fb. Had a job to find him because he has his name as John Princess...? He's split with his wife anyway.

I mean what the fuck did I just watch?? My god

I don't know anything about this guy
don't have Facebook or Insta

but a PR contact told me about it and said it was totally out of the blue. (We are a bit geeky about PR).

So many people coming through social media I suppose there has to be some weirdos!

I followed him on Instagram for a long time and stopped a few weeks ago though I still follow Charlotte. Think she needs as much support as possible. Can really see the change in her lately though garnering her confidence without the dead weight round her neck. Could always "see" she was slightly flinchy/quiet/reserved around him. She's posted today saying she has "absolutely no association with him or the brand anymore."
They weren't married and didn't have children though.

I've just looked on amazon and they seem to have anonymised the front cover of the book.

Amazon have ditched him, so have Waterstones and both refunding books
Penguin have dumped him
He's lost grenade, skinny food and eat lean so far

Good. Hope he ends up destitute and living in a skip, and that he shits himself regularly.

Nasty piece of work

I had never heard of him until the press today, but he deserves everything he is getting. Absolute disgusting what he said.

Does anyone know if Amazon are refunding his book without you having to send it back? I put mine in the bin!

Yes apparently they are

I can confirm that Amazon have agreed to refund me on his book. I am completely disappointed and disgusted in John Clark. That book can go in the bin. Talk about negative energy! Won’t have it in my house.
