I don’t know if I would describe their relationship as typically “abusive”. I do think Jess has taken advantage of the fact Jaimi is young and impressionable, but I don’t think she set out to do this before meeting Jaimi. It seems like Jaimi has morphed into a mini-Jess, developing a grandiose view of herself, and has learned to mimic Jess.

Jess has most likely repeatedly told her they are both special and different. That they will achieve great things (sadly at the expense of anyone in their way). The age difference, and life experience difference is definitely questionable.

I actually know someone who criticised Jaimi on Twitter and Jaimi messaged the woman asking why she had such a problem with her. I remember thinking how bizarre it was. In life people are going to criticise you or even outright dislike you, and they are within their right to do so. J&J cannot seem to handle that because they have such grand views of themselves.

All of this post makes the most sense to me re. Jaimi. I don’t think the relationship seems abusive - at least that’s not apparent to me from what I see on social media - but it certainly seems unhealthy.

Jaimi does seem emotionally quite young and as someone else said although the age-gap isn’t massive, due to all the other issues discussed here there’s a big power imbalance.

I think Jaimi was/is very impressionable and Jess had filled her head with lots of nonsense.
I also wonder if she ever will grow up as she’s never really lived in the “real world” as far as I can see - she’s gone straight from being a student to living in a £500k house with everything paid for by her much richer partner.

I don’t personally understand why anyone would WANT to get into a relationship with someone younger who’s so much less experienced and emotionally mature - that to me is a red flag in itself.

No one thought my relationship was abusive at the time, including me. Jess is a narcissist and I'd put money on her being emotionally abusive to Jaimi and the kids. If you listen to their podcast, you can hear Jess talking over Jaimi, devaluing her ideas and patronising her.

Wow your comment about the podcast has intrigued me - but not enough to actually listen to hear for myself! 😆 I can’t think of anything worse than listening to their drunken chat for an hour!
 
Every time I post I remember something else. Either her or Jaimi once posted that they had been contacted directly by Amazon to have their podcast featured on the podcast store (or maybe Apple idk) because it was so popular...despite the fact that a) anybody can upload a podcast there, and b) their subscriber figures number into the double digits MAXIMUM (I'm talking like, 24 subscribers), not the "thousands" they claim. And this is all publicly available data too. Absolute idiots.
 
Is that something reportable? That sounds awfully close to theft.

Re the reflective journals, since not sold on Amazon or Etsy, there's no possibility to review, so all she needs to do is describe them as amazing herself, or put up fake testimonials, which she seems wont to do...and she can position them as ground breaking and helpful products....

I think I'm beginning to understand her grift.

Imagine if it was on Amazon, ud get ten understandably shocked reviews
"Literally just paper with a few quotes added on"
"This is not what I expected,"
Etc etc

The the age gap didn't worry me so much as i think they were 29 and 23 or so which was OK, when I began following them,
Jess presents older somehow and it looks odd but they were both in their twenties...
But their relationship seems weird in other ways. Jaimi becoming Jess's flying monkey, is not really healthy. And Jaimi would have no reach, identity or public persona without Jess.

What does Jaimi stand for? Her story? Her values?

Literally Her role is Jess's girlfriend and prop.

Oh the podcast is dreadful! Well based on the one I have listened to- I couldn’t put myself through even the whole episode. It was just Jess recounting this trip her and Jaimi made to the supermarket and the checkout lady said something a tiny bit insensitive which they both took enormous offence at and delighted in recounting how Jaimi had said something mean to the checkout lady and then they just laughed about what was effectively them being a pair of bullies. It was so ugly and mean and really the first massive clue I saw that Jess was not the enlightened supportive wonder she claims to be. Just a vile bully who clearly enjoys it.

I think Jaimi was a wee bit younger than that - about 21? when they first got together. So the age-gap would be about 8 years. Still not massive.

But to me your 20’s is a time when you are still growing and maturing as a person, so there’s quite a difference between early and late 20’s. Jaimi has missed out on a lot of the life-experience that most people in their 20’s acquire.

And like you say her whole identity is wrapped up in being Jess’s partner.

MOCRA was never registered as a charity. Legally you can't register as a charity until you have an annual income of greater than 5k, when you are obliged to register. It sounds as if they just hit the 5k point. My impression is that Jess has lots of ideas for projects, and she will see what gets popular/takes off and then jettisons the rest.

The journals are sold on Amazon. Interestingly almost all the positive reviews were posted over the same three-day span, so I suspect a lot of people must have bought/reviewed a journal around that time in response to a marketing push. (This definitely happened with Why Women are Blamed for Everything - so many people, including me, bought a copy when she was publicising the abuse she was getting.) There is one negative review that calls the whole concept a rip-off, and a more positive review that describes them as overpriced for what they are. To be fair some of the prompts are very good and as I mentioned upthread, I used to recommend these journals to my students. It's a good idea and with some extra work they could be a really valuable resource. Jess does have some good ideas, but as with her projects, she undermines them by rushing them out without developing them properly.

Mocra raised just over the £5000 limit. Interesting the last person to donate, gave £1000. Maybe they shut it down then, knowing they'd unexpectedly hit their limit.

Tom Price, who apparently donated £1000, might want to know what has happened to the “services, education, training and research, campaigns, lobbying of government” etc etc promised by MOCRA. Where is the “flexible support service comprising of webchat, text support, telephone support and face to face support of women and girls who have become pregnant from all forms of sexual violence and abuse”?

They asked for £5000 to “begin initial services”. They got that money, so what happened?

I don't dispute this at all, however, I am sure Jaimi (or possibly Jess) had "Trustee of MOCRA Foundation" in her Twitter bio, or am I misremembering? Maybe they were just getting ahead of themselves, or it was actually registered on the sly? Either way, dodgy AF.
 
Their last tweet was about how they'd raised the money they need to set things up, then they stopped tweeting a day later and a couple of weeks after the justgiving page shut down, and they didn’t extend it despite not reaching their target.

Justgiving can't investigate pages which have already claimed the money.

On top of that, Jess has had a lot of responsibility from an early age which includes being a married mum of two while still in her teens, and holding multiple managerial positions in her early-mid 20s. So at that age she already had more "life experience" and had to be more adult than most people including Jaimi. It'd be different if Jaimi had married someone like a friend of mine who at 30 lives at home, is pretty sheltered, doesn't drive, doesn't have much work experience (briefly worked for one company and self-employed ever since), only one serious boyfriend. The gap between Jaimi and Jess however is a big one
 
Some quite well-known trustees as well - e.g. Sammy Woodhouse, Hibo Wardere (as usual Jaimi looking a bit incongruous!) and you’ll see from their Twitter account which still exists that they got a LOT of publicity at the time - e.g. Women’s Hour. I wonder what the other trustees make of it and if they wonder why it all went so quiet?

That's Jaimi that's been posting that tit. Her arrogance is increasing the longer she's with Jessica. If you listen to the early podcasts, Jaimi rarely swears. Listen to the later ones, she's just copying Jess.

It was never registered. I had a quick look on the Charities Commission directory. You have to make sure you've got a functioning board of trustees before you can register (their names are submitted at registration), so Jaimi declaring herself to be one is not necessarily dodgy. The fact that £5k just vanished with nothing to show for it definitely is. Jessica does an awful lot of grandstanding about "helping women and girls" but when you look for the practical evidence of that help, there doesn't seem to be anything.

Jaimi did, I clearly remember that. And don't forget the charity launch that Jess did on Sky news for it
 
There are at least 2 other Gofundme pages that she has set up:

Also link to previous post about financial concerns about the mens mental health charity she was involved in and Jaimi was also a trustee:

Dr Jessica Taylor

Oooo, I am so glad this thread is here. I've had a pinging on my bullshit radar with her tweets for while now. Her cervical cancer story doesn't quite add up. You aren't diagnosed with it at a regular smear test. You will get a letter, like lots of women do, saying there are abnormal cells...

And a crowd funder for it. Unclear what was raised:

Has anyone asked the other people what happened? There’s some well respected names there.
