I'm no fan of the ex but I think it's unfair to say he was obsessed with her weight. She was photoshopping herself to be slimmer long before she met him. She tends to morph into whoever she is dating so him being a personal trainer of course she was going to adopt this persona and take it to an extreme as usual. She portrayed their relationship as nothing short of perfect then it went tits up and she blamed him for everything. It wasn't his fault she has no mind of her own and copies everything whoever she's dating does.

I'm mortified to say her content made me book a trip to West Cork...we actually saw MUF and Adam in real life on a boat trip to Garnish and I nearly died. The annoying part is that she's so much better looking in real life - she's defo put on weight but carries it well and very natural. They looked like a normal happy couple in love to be honest, I wanted to dislike her but she was friendly and chatty to everyone :rolleyes: She must have serious body image issues to feel the need to edit herself when she's so naturally pretty though? Wonder what cause her to feel so insecure. I think the ex in London was a nut and obsessed with her weight.

Does anyone know where her money comes from? Apparently the dog was two and a half grand and all the designer bags and sunnies we see in every shot *eye roll? She's either earning a lot more than we think or he has money? The gaff is a 4 bed, like why would they need so much space if it's just the two of them.

She was obsessed with her own weight and had poised herself as some kind of gym bunny long before she met him. She made out like he was abusive and caused her to have body image issues but she asked him to train her for a bikini comp and then when they broke up she alluded to him being controlling re food - of course he was, he was training her for a bikini comp and part of that is extreme calorie restriction. Having your bf as a coach is a terrible idea, but she wanted to do a comp and then alluded to it being abuse when he broke up with her. It showed a very nasty and vindictive side of her personality

Anyone else lol when she was describing the surface area she covered with the hoover? 13 rooms!! a) saying 13 rooms is not a good indicator as they could be small or large rooms so if she wanted to convince us of the area covered the sq footage of the house would have been a better indicator b) shes clearly saying 13 rooms to make the place sound bigger than it is. She's probably counting the hallway and "guest hallway" as rooms aswell :ROFLMAO:

Yes, I was quite baffled about the 13 rooms!!! 🤔

I think most couples gain similar hobbies, it makes sense if you're going out with a personal trainer you start training more, but his antics online were mental - I suppose no one knows what really going on behind closed doors. I remember her presenting on TV3 and modeling when I first followed her, like you can't photoshop TV and clearly she was actively being booked for jobs so why even need to photoshop when you're being paid for your looks?!

I remember the gym bunny days. I unfollowed her because I felt so lazy :ROFLMAO: I think she got a lot of hate for losing so much weight because she was always a curvy model so I suppose you can't win

I just don't get why a young couple would need somewhere so big, it looks like a huge family home? I do like the fact she's buying so much for it instead of being a beg like other influencers. Clearly has money to burn considering it's a rented.

She's buying the stuff because no one has offered her free stuff, there's a difference! Like anyone else who rents and has to furnish a property. Why would she have money to burn because its rented?! She's living in the back hole of nowhere. Rent is going to be cheaper than Dublin prices. MUF hasn't bought anything substantial in a long time. Her spending days are over from what I can see.

How do you know she wasn't offered free stuff it hardly makes someone more successful by being beggy. I certainly couldn't afford to do up a home that size so quickly and then do up another home when she buys or builds. My friend was in the apartment she moved to after London and the rent was two grand a month. Drives a brand new Merc, dripping in new clothes and designer stuff. All the other influencers seem to have to sell their soul talking shite everyday, she seems to hold off for bigger brands and contracts which is clever because it looks like less ads but probably more money.

West Cork property by the sea has isn't cheap - we looked into it after we came home because it was genuinely one of the nicest places in Ireland we have visited. After lockdown I think the demand is even higher aswell. I've no problem admitting I am jealous of her lifestyle, the bf is gorgeous and seems way more normal than that dose from London

But she doesn’t “hold off for the bigger brands”- no big brands work with her at the moment, or for a while. And she’s a proven track record over the years for doing the opposite- working with anyone and everyone- which would suggest she just simply isn’t getting that work now.

Of course, couples' good and bad habits will rub off on each other, that's normal. But Joanne completely becomes the other person, there's a big difference and what she does isn't healthy. She was happy out with the pt, their relationship was perfect (remember the wife me posts and jumper?) then he ended it and suddenly he was abusive? Joanne was promoting a butchers a few weeks before she met Adam. If/when the relationship with him goes tits up will she be claiming he was abusive too and told her she couldn't have meat. I wouldn't be surprised.

Exactly - She's not holding off on bigger brands, any large company in Ireland knows the craic with her, they wouldn't go near her.

The one free thing she gets; the hoover - and she can't wait to jump onto insta to talk about it, before she even tried it.

If EZ living/Harvey norman/Michael Murphy's asked her to go a collab or give her something gifted, she'd bite their hand off.

She works with Never Fully Dressed, Sweaty Betty and Vita Liberata. Hardly small brands when they're International though?

Have you seen her home account? It's not quite just a few rugs - rugs for every room, mirrors, lighting, plants, beds, tables, duvets, sheets and a hundred cushions for rooms she probably doesn't even use, furniture on the way...Bar knocking down walls or painting she's filled the house the same way anyone would when they buy. None of the stuff she posts is tacky I bet she will start bringing out interiors or at least start working in that area.

The most annoying thing about MUF and her many personas is she's actually good at all of them :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

She's certainly not good at photoshopping. And it's pretty obvious the relationship is all for insta.

I find it really strange that you joined Tattle today to basically try and make MUF look good! Fair play because that's a hard task 😂

She's not dripping in new clothes or designer stuff. She buys a few oversized dresses off Asos and dusts off the old bags and sunnies she bought years ago. She bought a few rugs, lampshades and plants. I don't understand how you think that's furnishing a property?!

How could you be envious of her lifestyle? Serious question. I couldn't think of anyone more deranged than MUF. She is a pathological lier. Hasn't got anything going for her. She's an outcast in the Blogging/influencer world. There's no need to be jealous or aspire to be someone like Joanne. She's a terrible role model for the younger generation.

I'm assuming savings, and any collabs she does manage to get pay well? The bf is probably on okay money too if he's doing marketing consultancy.

I haven't seen a sweaty Betty or Vita liberata collab, probably missed it.
Gas if she does have a tan collab going, sure is she not nATUraLLy tAn...

There's no way that the Merc is paid for in full, she's probably leasing it or has a massive loan. She had a lot of the designer gear from before she was with the personal trainer, I haven't seen a lot of designer 'hauls' since. She's definitely moved on to promoting the high street stores more now. I thought she was saving to buy or build so I'm not sure why she moved into a rental in the country.
