Ok so going to start off saying I follow Mrs H and I enjoy her content.

But.... I just find their social media friendship SO annoying... the montages, the reels, the "I love yous". I just find it really annoying.
Like do they only talk about their celeb pals like this is?! What about their other friends?
I don't know, I just feel like all their catch ups turn into a dramatic reels/paragraphs and I don't find it genuine.

Am I alone 🙈

I have come to the conclusion that those who accuse of jealousy are jealousy people.

They are scammers, I watch agog at them.

As for Stacey the psychopath eyes in the bath yesterday, because her boys wouldn't wash, dry and put away their clothes as she commands. I am surprised she allowed them in the main house to launder their clothes, do they have to cook for themselves in the small Annexe too?

Wow, you’re an avid follower.

There is something called stories. What happens is anyone you follow will pop up in an AI generated order and I can be watching stories maybe up to half an hour a day and along with everyone else she will come along the list.

You need to click on a story to watch it, no one sits you down and forces you.

We all have our own taste and I am sure this will be sold out.

In my opinion it's rank.

I don't understand how people do not understand that they are being scammed?

I'm no fan of Stacey Soloman or any other influencer but thanks to linking to that gorgeous romper, I'm off to buy one.

A lot of people are thick or just don't care.

slipperypenguin · 29/04/2023 23:39

They are not friends. They are however under the same management company and have been told to portray a friendship. They mutually support each other - hinch is the cleaner and Solomon is the organiser.

Everything they do and post is for money. They are not your friends. You are not part of some lovely bubble with them. They are using you to lure you in for ££££

do you know what a scam is? Can you explain what scam they’re running?

Slay1981 · 29/04/2023 23:42

What is it about her content you enjoy? Because all I ever see is her promoting HER products so that everyone rushes out to buy them to fund HER life? Or using that poor little boy of hers for content alluding to some sort of SEN issue, in which case give him some privacy!

MeinKraft · 29/04/2023 23:43

Two bellends. I know how to clean my own house thanks.

foulksmills · 29/04/2023 23:43

I genuinely don't envy influencers their lifestyles. I'd abhor it. Having to be 'on' all the time, carefully styling a particular life and then having to pretend to actually live it. You can't just 'clock out' at 6pm and head home, shut the door, put on your pjs and switch off.

There must be quite a lot of 'what will people think if I do X or say Y' and considering what to post that will garner the most likes, provoke the least controversy, invite more positive feedback and less judgement and criticism.

They might have big houses, flashy cars and fancy holidays but I'd rather have the peace of anonymity.

PinkButtercups · 29/04/2023 23:44

Cosycover · 29/04/2023 22:54

I agree.
It's all for the likes.

At least they didn't invite their wee scammer hanger on this time.

I don't follow any of them. But who's the scammer? 👀

Looking at their reflection in the phone as they film themselves can't do them any good either.

You wait all week for a Tattle thread attacking influencers and women in the public eye, and two come along at once. Hmm
I guess Tattle must be struggling for exposure again.

I dunno, every time I try to register with Tattle it says it's full?

I know how to clean my own house I used to think it was bizarre people cared about cleaning but it is marketing genius. It's so much more accessible to be able "to be like your favourite influencer" by buying a £2 sponge or £4 cleaning product as opposed to expensive clothes.

I have followed for a while a woman who was a hinch fan, Hinch doesn't share her fans on her stories.

What's with the you followed someone you must be a fan, that may be the way you love your life, they are one of many I don't just have two people I follow on Instagram and I only go on there to see them. I also follow people on Twitter I don't agree with.

TenThousandFireflies · 30/04/2023 00:36

Aw I quite like Stacey. I like her bbc programme.

i do think she’s sometimes a bit…tone deaf though.

My mum got me into books on cleaning and organising the house. I thought it was so weird at first. But now I love them. My house is still a pigsty, though. 😔

RunningUpThatMill · 30/04/2023 02:08

Your first sentence established that you were in to social media.

You've given them this platform 😄

RunningUpThatMill · 30/04/2023 02:10

*or at least allowed them to continue. There is no point moaning about something, if you allow it to continue.

They are just two women making their way in the world, supporting themselves and their families. They aren’t shagging someone’s husband, on the Rob, being racist, committing crimes, or even starting bitchy threads about other women or encouraging others to be bitchy about other women and calling it chit chat. They are just two women doing their rather harmless thing.

YY to this.

It's just good clean fun.

BashfulClam · 30/04/2023 05:13

Anytime anyone says they don’t like or agree with an influencer the ‘yOu SoUnD jEaLoUs’ brigade comes out…erm that’s not jealousy, look up the definition! They sound so thick.
