TMZ Producer says it ‘might not’ be Kate!

So after days of so many of us saying it is not Catherine, and being screamed at, shut down and called ‘crazies’ and ‘trolls’ and all kinds of offensive names. It turns out we were right after all. It does not appear to be Cathrrine (no shock there for many of us) According to the producer that beamed this out across the world. Clearly unverified. Incredible that the news outlets just went along with it - no questions asked. What does that say about the quality of our journalism?

It was a huge gas lighting exercise.

So now we know we have one fake Mother’s Day photo and now one fake farm shop footage - it begs the question in a much more pressing way - where is Catherine? The stupid memes have to stop. This isn’t funny or anything to joke about.

No one can verify even a single shot ( I am discounting the photo of Pippa in the car with Carole, and someone’s head in the car turned away in windsor)

I don’t believe we are going to see Catherine this Easter or at any time soon. I don’t know where she is, or what has happened to her but I feel extremely worried for her.

I await Kensington Palace’s statement - it’s about time we learnt the truth. How can it be any worse than what has been speculated?

What will happen next? As this can not continue any longer.

Kate Middleton farm shop video 'isn't her' claims TMZ producer who bought clip

@Thekatzenjammerkid No, I had to get the police involved when an ex was hounding me. Posting online with fake concern and asking if anyone had seen me because he worried about my mental health. Posting all kinds of shit about how I had shut myself off from the world when I was actually just avoiding him.

It's happening to kate but far more extreme. Enough to destroy anyone's mental health really. She's human like the rest of us, don't you think all these rumours might be affecting her mental health?

Exactly. So her husband needs to shut. it. down. He’s a chocolate teapot.

The comparison of how Harry protected Meghan to how William’s protecting Kate is startling.

I’m also belatedly admiring how well QEII handled the Andrew / Epstein scandal - worse in so many ways, and could have blown up into a whole batshit QAnon hysteria. But it simply blew over, and now he’s a predatory paedophile placed back in the Firm. Astonishing, really.

Worried that she is having to put up with bullying and harassment whilst she is recovering from surgery? Me too!

Yes I also find it reminiscent of the hounding of Diana, except social media didn’t exist then, so the media did it instead, now as social media exists and everyone has a phone, it’s so much worse.

the speculation over Nicola `Bulley was another very sad example of this kind of frenzy. With all the internet sleuths giving it wild speculation.

im guessing it will be the same people in many instances.

This.

The Nicola Bulley online speculation and theories brought out the worst in some.

This has too.

When Diana was alive there was no social media with the batshit conspiracy theories. It seems much worse now.

Dymaxion · 21/03/2024 07:54

I have to admit when I first saw the footage, I didn't think it was Kate, I thought the person looked too young, maybe a friend or staff member ? There is a moment when the person turns their head and does look like Kate though, so it could be her.

The conspiracy theories are fascinating. Has anyone been listening to the Radio 4 series 'How to win an information war' ? Well worth a listen and does make you think about the potential source of some of these current theories.

Yes it’s excellent. I didn’t know about the radio stuff

TMZ bought the footage of the farm shop and distributed it. The executive producer has since said he does not now believe it is Catherine. I am not sure why you are confused.

I think it is Kate in that photo. But let's say it's not.

So what?

All that means is that TMZ and various 'news' sources were sold a dud. Kensington Palace never said that the photo showed Kate and William, did they? What exactly is bothering you so much here?

No I'm worried about her because I just feel like things don't add up.

And women in the UK royal family have not been treated well previously.

It just feels like something could be wrong.

Hopefully she'll be fine tho

Yet here you are, frothing at the mouth and commenting. You and all others that can’t stand threads like this had a chance to ignore but decided to click…and then comment. Stoking the fire too. Why comment if it frustrates you so much? What a sad little life Jane

Yeah William could shut this whole thing down. What's the matter with him.

She has had surgery on her abdomen, as far as we know her mental health is fine. Why are you trying to start new rumours?

Her mental health will undoubtedly be impacted with people staying ridiculous rumours about whether she is alive, getting divorced or whether she went shopping

So you can’t bring yourself to acknowledge it’s fake even when the producer confirms it. Okay.

So did he cast doubt on it or did he say it was fake? You have seized a doubt and run off with a certainty because that was what you wanted to hear. Why don't you just get on with your life and stop worrying about someone you don't know.

Nutters who want to believe in some great conspiracy won't be happy whatever he says. Why should he jump to the tune of the people demanding his wife appears. She's an adult, she's asked for privacy and shock horror her husband is respecting that. He's normally get a pat on the back for that but for some strange reason he's being criticised for it.

LittleGlowingOblong · 21/03/2024 08:22

It might not matter, save for the fact there have been such strange silences and lies emanating from Kensington Palace.

KP own their share of this, it’s unfair to lay the blame entirely with us tinfoil hatters!

But why would that matter? She isn’t your mum, or your mate, why do you care?

There are literally millions of people in the world that you haven’t seen ever, do you spend your time worrying about them?

Even if something has happened to her it doesn’t matter to anyone except her family and friends- she is nothing to the general public!

There haven’t been ‘strange’ silences and lies from KP. Exactly what they said would happen has so far happened. I think the Mother’s Day photo was a misstep with hindsight, but however hard the pay per post trolls try to rewrite the timeline, the photo was shared after the furore began and was not the cause of it.
Even if you aren’t across other platforms, you can see the evidence on here of how easy it is to seed an idea and drive it forward. TMZ clearly thought the footage was genuine. KP has confirmed they visited the shop. The bloke who is now allegedly backing off hasn’t said he thinks he’s fake, he’s said reading all the rumours has made him doubt himself. How convenient that this drives a new raft of clicks on their site. Double the bang for their buck.
And the OP of this thread has an extremely dubious posting history.

SoEmbarrassed2024 · 21/03/2024 08:38

He is the executive producer responsible for the footage being circulated! I think he might know fgs.

Why? He wasn't there, he bought it off someone.

How? By saying she is convalescing at home and will be back at/after Easter? Because that worked well.

FreebieWallopFridge · 21/03/2024 08:39

Jesus bloody wept.

I despair at the state the gene pool has reached.

CoffeeCantata · 21/03/2024 08:40

Gosh, OP - I wish I could have a bet with you. I'd clean up!

Why is 'She will be back to official duties after Easter' so hard to understand? Of course it's Catherine - but I guess you're the sort of person who wouldn't believe it was really her if she turned up on your doorstep.

Such gullible nonsense is really concerning.

BroughttoyoubyBerocca · 21/03/2024 08:40

Wow OP your language. “Subjected to fake photos” WTF, this was a photo on social media that you chose to look at, you weren’t forced to look at it. OP you don’t sound well, maybe focus on your life, things around you?

smilesy · 21/03/2024 08:40

Interesting that when this was originally in AIBU, it didn’t quite get the reaction I think the op was expecting 🤔

Technically, I’m likely going to be one of her subjects sometime in the future.

Parliamentary Bills are going to need the seal of approval of her husband, over whose conduct there are some question marks right now.

She’s not some Jane Doe, she’s emblematic of the constitutional monarchy under whose rule I live out my life.

NetZeroZealot · 21/03/2024 08:42

OP the TMZ producer expressed a 5% doubt based on the media coverage IN ORDER TO STIR THINGS UP. He wanted to drive traffic to his stupid gossip website, which he has clearly done very successfully. Because more clicks = more revenue. Probably why MNHQ continues to allow these pointless and damaging threads.

You have been had by TMZ, along with the millions of other batshit conspiracy theorists on here.

Leave that poor woman to recover from her illness in peace, FFS.

100% this.

I don't find it funny because it's a sign of what we've been warned about - the power of fake news, dodgy SM outlets, the general dimness and lack of critical thinking amongst the population and the fall in educational standards over the last couple of decades.

Sorry - I know that sound doom-mongerish, but I'm really depressed by it! Luckily for me in my little bubble, I don't encounter any of these conspiracy theorists, but clearly they walk among us.

BBC News may not be perfect, but if people would just stick with that it would cut out a lot of the crap. But the BBC is probably in on the palace plot...etc, etc.

On the subject of Nicola Bulley. The intensity of the minute by minute reporting was over the top. As for the speculation. Her family did not want to believe there wasnt foul play involved. So folk speculated as to what happened. You can't make things the main news and not expect people to speculate. Kate has been a main item of news now for days.

She's hiding from you and all those like you. Hiding in the privacy she explicitly requested.
