Jack Monroe off Twitter

beammeuphottie · 28/09/2022 20:28

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.

Has anyone anywhere got hold of floor plans for JMs house? Really @rudolphrainbownose she you? are Really not that interesting. It's more JMs shitty behaviour that people are bothered by!

Some random obsessive posted them on Twitter. Lots of people replied saying it was poor form. So not sure where @rudolphrainbownose is getting the idea that we’re all complicit in it.

She seems to have set her Twitter to ask people to pay Tips. Or does Twitter ask this for every Tweeter?

Well, it never did it for me!

I imagine the floor plans showed that it was not quite the "sh*tty bungalow" everyone had been led to believe, though.

She has given a lot of information (including photographs) online which I would imagine would make it very easy for anyone to identify where she lived, TBH.

Hardly the behaviour of someone who has been repeatedly stalked and assaulted, who worries about their privacy.

She had the sense to register her Company with Companies house at some Swanky address in London to make herself sound more important.
(Same company she failed to file taxes with and dissolved it in June)

Funny how she's very forgetful and scatter brain when it means she gets away with not doing stuff she ought but her mind is fine and dandy when she's doing stuff she'll get funded by..

Weird eh? Not suspicious at all.

Tbf that would be her accountant and their address probably.
Our business is also at the accountants address. It's a common practice I believe

Possible... But if she's got an accountant, why were no taxes posted? How's she paying for it if she's boiling soap?
Raises more questions than it answers imo.

Emotionalsupportviper · 02/12/2022 11:19

I wonder if that's a pro-bono accountant? 😁😏🤔

Butchyrestingface · 02/12/2022 11:23

She seems to have experienced yearly foggy-brain about filing her accounts...

frogface69 · 02/12/2022 11:33

I've never been to Southend and no sleuth but even I could take myself to her house, it's so recognisable from what she's posted.
The worst thing EVER was when she got a severely disabled kitten. It's legs were all twisted, her other cat harassed it.Call me cynical but I think she wanted a slot on the tv programme that vet does- Noel ?
Anyway after posting a horrific video of her and this poor cat rolling about in bed with her naked ( and monetized the views) it died. she said of a seizure.No doubt in agony. Then she claimed to have washed it's corpse and dried it with a hairdryer.
The receipts are on the other site and it's a horrific watch.
She's vile.

Won't HMRC still be chasing this up even if she's dissolved the company.

It's the extravagant purchases (always an explanation provided for) inadequately countered with nonsense like the soap boiling that irritate. At this point she should just get a job.

I recycled (bin) my copy of her first book after this thread. I've no idea why I was hanging on to it.

All Jack has to do is suspend Patreon and then get it sorted , show the charity donations and refund the I’m suing money

the fact she doesn’t speaks volumes

She wants to be paid for existing.

Am I missing something, but why's it vile to look after a disabled kitten ?

TrashyPanda · 02/12/2022 15:22

Because vets advised it should be put to sleep because of its disabilities

only Jack knew better

00100001 · 02/12/2022 16:08

Oh yeah, and the little kitten died over a few days in pain no doubt. But it's ok coz jack had feelz for it.

Poor thing if 3 vets say PTS, why would you think you know better?

JemimaTab · 02/12/2022 16:31

The poor kitten was severely disabled, and she was forcing it to walk on its twisted legs. She locked it in the bathroom at night. It looked like it was too young to have left its mother. And 3 vets apparently told her the kinder thing to do would be to put it to sleep. This is all by her own account.
But Jack knew better. And she was crowing about trying to get a referral to Fitzpatrick’s (though I doubt they would have said anything different from the other vets).
She had another kitten earlier this year that disappeared without explanation.
And she had two Guinea pigs which apparently died after she’d left them shut in an airing cupboard. (Again, her own account).
I would suggest she’s too self-absorbed to care for an animal.

JubileeTrifle · 02/12/2022 16:35

That poor dog she has looks a state. She showed a video where it’s hair looked matted and anyone who commented she snapped back about how she’d checked and it was fine and they went into a groomers ALL THE TIME.
One women who commented got loads of abuse.

I’ve no experience of that breed but it’s hair does look a mess.

when the kitten died she went on about how her heart was broken blah blah and wasn’t sure how she would go on. Hope her son doesn’t see that shit.

So heartbroken was she that the monetised video featuring the kitten is still, I believe, available to watch and earn her money.

Fairly sure she had rabbits that died after being kept in a shed, too.

I'd heard about the kitten - hadn't realised the full, self-centred horror of its dreadfully short, sad life and awful death.

She really is a nasty piece of work.

frogface69 · 02/12/2022 17:14

I don't remember needing a code. I joined without one I'm sure but I lurk and don't post. It's hard to keep up her threads go so fast. Posters are very witty and I'm not.
I've just been raging silently.
