Jack Monroe off Twitter

[beammeuphottie]

The latest in the ongoing saga is that JM has left Twitter after being 'hounded off'. The incident that seemed to provoke this...someone critiquing a photo of her mums roast potatoes. It just gets more and more bizarre.

To be clear, I don't like to see public pile ons and some of the abuse directed at Jack has been unpleasant. But a lot has also been reasonable, polite requests for information regarding her patreon which have largely been totally ignored. And her supporters have to be some of the most cruel people on Twitter. It seems like it's fine for JM to voice her opinion but as soon as others do the same they are called out for bullying. And ironically subjected to vile comments from her followers. Go figure.

Am I the only one who thinks she's probably best having a little Twitter break? But eventually if she's ever to redeem her reputation she needs to show some transparency regarding public donations.

But she can't lie @RitaSueAndBobTo so it must be true . . .

Is it possible she was meant to tweet that's she can not not lie?🙈

And autocockup intervened?

I wonder . . . 🤔

@Emotionalsupportviper

Is her not being able to lie same as Prince Andrew not being able sweat ie utter bull poo.

You mean . . . when she said she COULDN'T LIE . . .she was LYING!!!!!?????

😧😧😧

I'm only suggesting I wouldn't make such accusations 😂

One thing she can claim... as a result of this thread I've swapped my £10 a month from trussel trust to local foodbank. I never do food shopping so monthly dd is the best way for me.

Why tf has she blurred the Tiffany earrings out? 🤣 We've all seen them, we all know they're expensive. Why didn't she just take them out?!

The ratios on the comments that they left are very telling

Oh so she's having a massive clear out.

A 14 seat dining table??? I thought she lived in a crappy tiny hell hole?

She bought that with a book advance.... So rather than spending the money on all the lightbulbs and shower gel she bought a fuck off massive table???

She buys loads of stuff with the "book advances" - designer gear etc.

You'd think she'd put it toward a house deposit or debt clearance if she has it or other means of giving herself that financial stability she cries about, rather than spaffing hundreds or thousands on expensive designer label goods.

To be clear, I wouldn't grudge her buying herself nice things, if she didn't do the panhandling.

What is she moaning about when it comes to the changes to rentals. As far as I understand she did a LOT of changes to this one.

Don't Her parents and grandparents have a bit of a property empire with rentals.
Just putting it out there.

Yes. She just constantly rewrites her own history.

Stolen from elsewhere, Hope they don't mind. As you say, her current landlady has let her redecorate etc, so she's just bullshitting all the time.

5 minutes research and I have found her parents name and address. I shan’t post it but assuming you can use the internet it’s very very easy to find.
Her parents were foster carers, why would they allow their grandchild to live in such poverty when then have a nice detached house? Surely as foster carers they would know what an upbringing in poverty can do to a child.

Her dad is on Facebook and posts about being a landlord etc.

Her whole story is hinged on people believing that those around her let her live through it.
Her dad, a awarded foster carer and firefighter.
Her mum, dedicated to fostering those kids in need.
Her son's dad, who moved in and lived with her for months.
If you accept her story, you accept that those people are actually awful human beings.
8 don't think they are tho.

She apparently hid it from her family.

Why you'd let your kid go hungry out some sort of weird sense of pride is beyond me though

Didn't they live closeby? Smaller places where people know rach other don't allow for hiding this really.
Also writing about it at the time doesn't help either eh😂

Plus her son's father who was, by her own account, an involved parent throughout.

I just had a peak on twitter and she is totally prepping for "yeah I bought it" and is trying to position everything so no one can say anything because it's bullying and causes breakdowns to point out she bought it from scam money....

I too would have a stress related breakdown if I soent all the money I scammed from people and now they were coming for me

*She apparently hid it from her family.

Why you'd let your kid go hungry out some sort of weird sense of pride is beyond me though*

Because it never happened.

It's the same old Jack. As soon as she's called out, justifiably so, she starts with the oh, I'm lucky to be alive - nervous collapse - softly gently being cared for by kindly friends and relatives - leave me alone you bullies...It's like Jack bingo.
she has done this for years and personally I think she's enjoyed every penny she has scammed. No refunds or patreon rewards fulfilled yet. Good luck with that. She's moving house ! Are you trying to kill me ? I'm stressed enough !
What about the distress that people have endured with her hollow threats to sue(frightening if you aren't savvy enough to know that it's a ridiculous threat) and the glee when she allows her flying monkeys to do their worst on her behalf.
she's a nasty piece of work.

Her sons stepmother came on one of these discussions once and said he was very involved from the start and continued to be. I think she said he stayed with them more than her. Which I think is the case still. I think the poor single parent thing is just part of the act.
