That would be where they put lazy people they want to quit.

Edit: No disrespect to lazy people, I'm lazy as duck myself and have viewed almost every "straight" job I've had as pointless. That's why I'm a freelance writer. I traded money for being able to pick when I work and post on tattle in my pants at 10 in the morning. If only Monroe was slightly more creative and better at writing, she too could enjoy a life of riley/ genteel poverty.

She’s just living rife with lie-y instead

You had £3000 worth of stuff to sell and you still felt the need to add in your kid's beloved dinosaur that would make about 50p at most?!

(I realise she was probably lying about this, but what a lie to tell!)

Even worse. People offered to send her money for no exchange of goods. And she still claims she sold his favourite toy.
ETA: I can easily believe she sold it. I can just as easily believe she made it up for the interview. Either way, what a scumbag.

adding fuel to the flames here, but am i right in saying one of the things she sold in the big sale was his favourite toy?

His ONLY toy, as I understand it.

I can believe she would sell it, TBH.

If somebody came in with (say) a baby in a buggy, and the baby grabbed at the dinosaur and the mother was saying "No Poppet. That isn't your toy." I can really see Jack saying "20p. That's a pint of milk to me." or something similar, and then sobbing to anyone who will listen "I was even forced to sell my CHILD'S TOY! I only got 10p, but that half-a-pint of milk kept us both alive for a fortnight due to my frugal cookery skills and the 80 quid's worth of shopping my parents brought round"

What's worth more: SB's dinosaur toy or Guest's knackered Mulberry, answers on a shithouse onion postcard!

We need Harry Hill to have a fight scene here, IMO.

Only way to get to the truth.

I think the hats are Macy's brand, but I cannot be certain. Might recommence sleuthing at a later date.

ETA: Another timeline. Feel like there is another one out there with sex work and rummaging through bins to survive, but might be misremembered.

“Fell behind on Patreon”?!?

That’s got to be the biggest understatement of the last decade of grift surely?!

As previous posters have said, the lack of due diligence is shocking - especially when it comes to the “big” papers like the Graun. Have Private Eye been digging any further recently?

I haven’t read it for about 3 years now so out the loop on that side but I’m thinking about starting a subscription again - if they’re into exposing Guest’s many, many inaccuracies, lies and general bullshit it’ll be a dead cert that I’ll feel it’s worth the subscription price ( will ask eldest very nicely for it as a birthday present 😆 )

I must be such a soft touch, because I'd be handing it back and saying "here's a pound, keep the dinosaur and buy you and the kid the fanciest pint of milk in the shop, love. 😭 "

What I take from that timeline is that every bad move between 2013 and 2020 was the result of being THRUST out the poverty she'd been THRUST into previously, and going mad with the money and the limelight and the heartless media frenzy that a poor smol pixie single mum could never cope with, and you must surely agree that nothing she did was her fault, and if it was then it was the alcoholism which was, obviously, the result of the cruel fickle ways of INSTANT FAME. She's better since 2020 but hasn't got anyone to help with the envelopes now, and why are you demanding postcards from an addict in recovery from an addiction that YOU caused by reading her blog and THRUSTING her famewards?

@colouredlines did a long deep dive through the Open House sale last year that’s well worth a read. As local Southend fraus who knew Jack at the time have confirmed, the DIRE predicament she found herself in was all just lies and attention seeking

Jack Monroe #314 Take care on the stairs you pretend to fall down repeatedly

I thought this bit from an article in The Graun about Vardy/Rooney might give Jack slop food for thought. I hope not - as I really want her to pursue it. So much of the tawdry way she carries on would be exposed. 'Never mind the Streisand Effect, launching misguided legal cases will surely...

Its jaw dropping. @Lazarus added Jack’s mum telling her not to sell her camera

And there’s also this…
The “V ticket with camping she bought before leaving the fire service in November 2011”
View attachment 2445734 q

Except as @Cucumberthunder found within about 5 minutes, those tickets didn’t even go on sale until March 2012 when she was already on the bones of her arse with her heating turned off selling stuff and before she even got that pub job in late March.

I bleeping ate her for this, I think perhaps more than anything else she’s done. If you’ve been in that place yourself, or are close to someone who has been there, or worse, someone you love has been “successful” in their endeavour…the thought of someone typing this utter bleeping bullshit out for column inches and attention makes me sick to my bleeping stomach.

You’re a bleep of the highest order Jack. I hope you get your comeuppance one day for all this. No columns, no blogs, no “forever home”, no grift, no partner ( at least not a normal, sane human being ) and best of all, no attention. I’m here for all of it you utterly despicable arsewipe. duck off.

She's probably small fry to the likes of Private Eye unless they do a piss take. I can't really see any sort of in depth takedown - guest isn't worth it at this point. As for the Graun enablers, they are probably hoping that she disappears.

Except that there's good reason to think she'd been going mad with the money for a long time before the pov years. In her early twenties, she was flogging Denby and multiple antique wedding dresses and tit.

That sale sounds more like a council-ordered decluttering sale because her hoarding was a fire risk than a pov-induced cry for help.

I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer did, but Jack insisted that they take it - she has her pride, you know, and would never beg from anyone, not even her parents and her own very close friends who she told she was "growing her hair out" rather than admit she couldn't afford a trim. She's not some sort of track-suited benefits grifter, after all. NO! She stands proudly on her own unfulfilled pattreon two grifts feet. She's not like All The Others.

She has standards. Proud Mediterranean standards.

I don’t want to be one of those “can’t tell you how I know” but someone who moved in circles with her a few years back said the ❄️was an issue way before fame.

I’ve never noticed before but she doesn’t actually say it’s his favourite, does she? Has she said that somewhere else?

Is she actually weaponising the normal Sod’s Law of children that when you finally have a clear out and donate to charity/sell/give to a friend some of the toys that they’ve not touched in years they naturally ask about one of them shortly after? Because that’s what it sounds like to me, though it’s not as heart rending as implying she sold his fave toy.
