I guess it’s possible that Daily Kitchen will be back in a couple of weeks (like Healthline or whatever it’s called was brought back) - and if she’s been told her services won’t be required, I can see how this might set her off. And if she’s had a “no” from the BBC, then she may not feel she has to behave herself on social media any more - because she was certainly controlling her impulses a bit better when Daily Kitchen was on air.
Or it could be simply that she’s finding the shed thing too hard, when her tech is not up to scratch and she doesn’t have a team to write her cards etc.
Hopefully her people (agent/publisher/whoever) have a serious word because this ranting and raving, and issuing threats to a perfectly harmless gossip website, is not a good look for someone who presumably wants a media career.

That could be it, yeah. And it must be awful to feel you’ve missed out on a great opportunity or let yourself down or any of those awful dark moments that I’m sure most of us have had at times — but rarely does social media help with coming out the other end of that feeling better. It is just a tv show at the end of the day. She clearly has a rock solid fan base who would love to buy her books or attend workshops I she hosted them, etc, so she’s clearly got more career opportunity than a lot of people. Not, I fear, that she’s in a good headspace for perspective right now. Sorry, waffling on a bit here but I do think her loved ones should step in and help her.

She can threaten us all she likes. What happens is she has to prove we are telling lies and also as others are saying about JO, if her lawyer actually had any nounce, they would tell her to zip it. She can also be prosecuted for threatening and intimidating behaviour for her tweets today alone, especially the ones directed at tattle.life. Then there is the action the BBC could take,she has lost all chance now of proving herself in the future as threatening suicide is not a laughing matter and any future employer is going to avoid her completely. As for poor Matt, was he expected to know how suicidal she was on live television?

Trigger warning:

Sorry to be an hole and ask you to transcribe some tweets that are above I don’t know why I’m so disturbed by the idea of reading them, but reading this has confirmed I probably shouldn’t!! But to clarify - has she threatened suicide because of the site or because of DK, or both? Have we got like a super soft tl;dr for the sensitive dears amongst us? Sorry to ask and thank you xx

She says it’s as a direct result of this website

Edit to add: 90% of the tweet/tweets are about legal action

She has been suicidal for the last few weeks as a direct result of tattle and how her colleagues have been harassed.
I read twitter before coming here and I'm still steaming but hope this helps. She really has gone far too far this time with her twitter rants.
Also youre not being an hole😘

And these threads only started going once she launched a persistent campaign to target Jamie Oliver.

If her tweets are serious (which I do doubt seeing as how much shes lied) her partner or family needs to step in, just don't read this website and take a step back from all social media.

Yep that’s the thing, if she is any way feeling like that then is a serious cry for help and someone in her support network needs to intervene.

I mentioned in a previous JM thread that I had a brief dalliance with TV a few years back. Post show there was a bit of a buzz about what I'd done and in the subsequent months/years I was approached by numerous production companies who had ideas for new TV shows they were looking to make and potentially wanted my involvement.
Now I value my own sanity and mental health so there were two very clear things I did from day one.
The first was to limit how much stuff I put out onto social media and how I responded to people. If in doubt, leave it out!
The second was that every time a producer approached me, I had absolutely zero expectations of what might come of it and where it could take me.
And it's a good job I did because as it turns out nothing more came of me doing any TV again. And that was fine. It's life! Enjoy it whilst it lasts. Don't go chasing it because you'll be a long time running!
I do sometimes wonder if it was the foul language they couldn't handle.....

Is anyone else not reading the tweets? It gives me the heeby jeebies to think about - I really appreciate the trigger warning thank you, I don’t want to see emotional turmoil it feels really uncomfortable and like we shouldn’t be privy to this.

The legal action she wants to be taken should be discussed privately with those professionals who will get in touch with tattle / us separately where appropriate? It shouldn’t be acted out over Twitter, especially not for her own well being which is important to everyone here.

Honestly my earlier recommendation still stands, luxury day nap with a load of chocolate. Watch SATC. Have a cry or scream into a pillow. Call a friend or fellow. Listen to a podcast and have a vacuum.

Like this is really super uncomfortable viewing.

I did read the tweets. I shouldn't have done, my bad obvs, but I agree with all of this. Especially the taking a break part.

I very much doubt the threat in her tweets are serious, she goes on about all her conditions enough and I assume she would have ongoing care due to the medication she takes. But still, she needs to get help.
 
Does she think she's above being commented on, as someone in the public eye? It happens all over, you can't threaten legal action every time people say things about you or your actions that you dislike. People will comment on what they see and are entitled to do so! Christ, imagine if all 'famous' people did this everytime they read negativity, they'd have to build whole new courts to deal with the flow of cases. 🙄
