Jack Monroe #2 Bootstrap cook on BBC one's Daily Kitchen Live with Matt Tebbutt

[Excuse Me Laydeh!]

Why bother tweeting at all? Influencers and public figures need to realise that not everyone needs to hear their every single thought and take on every situation. Sometimes it's better to just say nothing at all. One can wish Boris well without having to tweet about it. It's that kind of thing that really makes me hate social media.

I couldn't agree more with this! I read her tweet and my instant reaction was why do you even need to say it in the first place? Jesus people have got to get it out of their heads that just because we think or feel something we don't have to put it out there for the entire world to see and comment. She of all people should know this given how many tweets she's just deleted! The amount hot water she's got herself into in the past is unbelievable.
It's as though people have got into a mindset where by if they think something but don't verbalise it through social media, then the thought never really happened or occurred. I swear to god, nothing is sacred anymore where social media is concerned.
It's the most vapid thing ever to have been created and has done more harm than good! Perhaps people should be practicing 'social media distancing' at this moment in time rather than constantly spewing the contents of their brain onto a soulless app for the whole world to see.
My advise to Jack; Judging by the sheer amount of crap being on social media has caused in your life in recent years, simply come off it and give yourself a break! That way you won't have to scramble to delete any trace of your past comments which might affect your public persona. Just live your life and let others live theirs. Because ultimately nobody really cares anyway.

It has really p*ssed me off. Just leave him alone to recover. I highly doubt he or anyone close to him is going to be keeping a mental tally of any blue tickers who tweeted about it, whether Carrie was tagged or not. Influencers, vacuous self important idiots, all of them.

Totally agree with this, Jack actually did come off social media. It was maybe about a year maybe slightly more ago. She made a big statement about how much abuse she got and how it was damaging her mental health, she made quite the performance. Loads of big names were saying how sad it was to see her go and how much she would be missed. Honestly it was a few days of a total love in with a huge goodbye.
She was done with Twitter FOREVER it was such a drain on her time and a terrible place.

she was back with a week maybe two!!!

i wonder if she gets more famous if she would get someone to manage her social media for her, god knows she needs one to prevent these outbursts

Moaning about not having enough time in according to her crappy pit and I presume her mum actually apologising for not babysitting her child.

 

[rosieflowers]

She knows her mob of followers so well

OMG this is so self important! Look at benevolent me, not tagging her to generously save her from the abuse my minions would unleash at the wave of my hand...

Moaning about not having enough time in according to her crappy pit and I presume her mum actually apologising for not babysitting her child.

Again unbelievably self important and hypocritical.. Moaning about not having any work then moaning about not having any free time!

Guessing her mum and the sons dad provide a lot of free childcare then... Never gets mentioned that doesn't

My word, what a weird conversation to have with your mum on a public forum. Doesn’t look staged whatsoever

Also I thought she spent an entire day moving her work area into the garage?

Is that her mother?
If mine had just described to me a whole load of worrying symptoms I would not ramble on about myself and childcare arrangements with the most brief enquiry about her right at the end. (I wouldn't conduct the exchange on twitter anyway tbh).

 

[nco88]

If her son is 10 then surely he can either help with housework or keep himself occupied and check in every 45 minutes, I mean most kids are beginning to leave full time child care at that age.

 

[MHB28]

If that was my mother, I would be horrified she was only just telling me she had symptoms!

 

[Yel]

Finally removed the cash begging PayPal and Patreon links from her twitter bio. Will she be feeling really good, like really super good when she puts them back in a few weeks?

 

[chocolate choux]

I’d never heard of her but I just read the Tattle article and goodness, she’s like a spoilt child is she actually that narcissistic?

Reminds me so much of this old twitter shitpost

 

[PineappleQueen19]

“Rarely proud of myself”

What does any of this even mean. Reading between the lines I’d guess Jack has a Times subscription but doesn’t want to admit to it. But why? Not left enough? Bizarre.

And people are begging for the paywall to be lifted. For heavens sake why? It’s just a rundown of what Marina had for lunch. Hardly a public service.

But you're forgetting one very important thing here. Nobody, and I do mean NOBODY, including her very own dear mother, is as important as Jack Monroe.
Her complete lack of empathy for anyone besides herself is beyond belief.
I hear if you look up the word 'Narcissist' in the dictionary, it has a picture of her next to it.

wow, it's sad that that conversation is happening over twitter, but who reacts in that manner to your mother saying she is unwell and shielding to make it all about yourself and no longer having the luxury of free childcare.

 

[CoconotLoco]

Where did the link to the article go?

 

[Mokie]

Anyone else have conversations with their Mum about childcare on social media? How odd

 

[MrsGarcia]

I actually think that her Mum is very subtlety calling her out on her BS. She commented on the birth picture in a way that read "I was there, remember? You're exaggerating but I know you IRL." And again here, she's letting her followers know that Jack has PLENTY of childcare options when her Mum is available. I like tbe sound of Mum. I think she might just tip Jack's facade.

 

[Limetree]

Didn’t sound like her mum to me? More like a sycophantic friend who normally runs around after Jack. Notice how gracious Jack is when said friend cannot perform her function at the moment.

 

[rosemarina]

exactly, ifanything it sounds like some kind of tax avoidance scheme

That’s exactly what it is.
