God I'd forgotten about the pre-peeled oranges. Another one this week has been her trying to curry favour with Rose and Rosie by commiserating on their miscarriage then not an hour later having a go about people calling her out because she's "just trying to get through this without miscarrying."

That was disgusting of her to say and just shows the dept of manipulation and gaslighting she will go to just to play victim at large. Does she think the qualified healthcare professionals are dumb enough not to she her angle on this?
 
She came to my attention after the Toby Turner thing. I noticed how contrived her quirky style and persona was, everything was disingenuous not to mention the BS advice about EVERYTHING. Also came across this which made me lol.
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, I would like to talk about this phony that I had the misfortune of meeting a few times. Her name is Melanie Murphy shes a popular Irish youtuber who is a droning wannabe clone of zoella on YouTube. She makes numerous amounts of fake YouTube accounts to troll herself and her fellow Irish youtubers. Melanie is so hellbent on out doing the rest of the youtubers that she will stop at nothing to make herself centre of attention that includes jumping on gay, bisexual bandwagons, eating disorders, depression anxiety anything that will make her seem likeable. She’s known to our community by burying other girls youtube channels that she found as a threat to her. Nothing can outshine miss Melanie. She spammed bullied people out of their YouTube channels to get where she is today. Everything this girl portrays is a lie she made peoples lives hell over her fight to be the biggest best Irish youtuber. She is still creating fake YouTube accounts to try bully her fellow youtuber “friends” out of their channels and constantly referring to herself whilst making threats to them. Half of the community know what she is like and the other girls that are not speaking out about her are afraid as she has bullied previous youtubers before and are afraid of what she will do to them. This girl has a guru gossip thread where people she has bullied have proof of her behaviour and proof of her making false accounts for public pity and attention. This girl needs to be shown for what she really is a internet troll.

Also does my head in that she's a published author and has as a header a promo for her book where the sentence starts in lower case and spells 'parallel' as 'paralell". Idk about anyone else but that was one of my spellings in year five at school, and I sure as tit didn't have a book contract.

What I find most mind blowing is the sentence: "Juicy fat deposits laid out in anticipation of lactation" I mean 😂🤣

Being published does not maketh The writer apparently.
 
She is clearly no writer. She is barely able to string a few coherent sentences together without contradicting herself, offending someone or highlighting her blatant ignorance on whatever topic she is claiming to be an expert on. So disappointing that she was able to get a book deal based on her YouTube audience and not on talent.

I would be interested to see how many books she has actually sold, and curious to see how much money she is making from it. She is so aggressive in promoting it. I doubt she is earning anywhere near the 6 figures she was claiming during ‘mortgage gate’
 
Everything is so dramatic and fake.

the IBS flare ups that had her in a&e twice, with Thomas beside her holding her hand.

she doesn’t have IBS!!!! She self diagnoses herself with EVERYTHING!!!
Who goes to a&e because they can’t tit for two days!! Go to your GP, go to the chemist,
But no, Melanie goes straight to a&e.
TWICE! and then gives out because they sent her home! Obviously they sent her home empty handed, there was nothing wrong with her.

they wanted to start trying for a baby “incase” she couldn’t get pregnant..all based on miss communication with her GP, she diagnosed herself with fertility issues based on that,
But at least the pregnancy means she doesn’t have to fake an intolerance anymore!

bets on her having “post natal depression” for the gram.

100% she will have everything wrong with her...
 
I used to like her (only watched her videos occasionally) but in the past few months it's come to a point where I just can't stand her anymore. Her going between households is disgusting. Due to all of this I can't visit my mum who lives on her own, works in a hospital and is at high risk, and I genuinely worry about her every day, because if she gets it, chances are she won't survive it. It's better for me not to see her though because I don't want to risk being the one responsible for possibly giving her the virus, even though I am super careful and take social distancing super seriously, barely leaving the house, etc. And then I see people like her, with her "health anxiety" claiming to be an essential worker and simply NEEDING to use her "office". Sorry love, but no. Just get your camera and film at your husbands house, how hard is it, honestly? No one will care that the filming background has changed, especially not during this pandemic. That "Thomas is renovating, I can't film at his house" excuse is so poor, as if the whole house is under construction and she can't find a white wall to film in front of. Please get a grip ffs.

Don't follow her on Instagram but checked her profile for the first time in a while and of course in her newest post she had to put in brackets that she doesn't drink alcohol. We get it. You think you're special but you're really not, love. I'm in my 20s and I don't drink, neither do a great number of my friends. Don't see any of us mentioning it any chance we get.

And don't even get me started on her novel. The way she's constantly trying to shove it into our faces would put me off as a potential reader.

How did I forget she “made” herself an alcoholic so she could upload content around being “sober”

SHE GAVE UP ALCOHOL BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO GET PREGNANT 🤣😂

she’s insufferable.

You are right, don't think she would have given up her beloved glass of wine if she wasn't planning to have a baby. Didn't she say in a video that she adjusted her eating habits etc. because she was preparing to get pregnant, or something along those lines? Or am I confusing her with someone else? Bet she gave up alcohol in anticipation of that and just milked the whole thing with her "I'm an alcoholic, I HAD to give up drinking" story.

Edit: Just want to make it clear that I think it's a good thing for people to give up alcohol consumption if them being drunk "brings out the worst of them" or is just something they don't enjoy. I tend to feel really down and depressed when I'm drunk, so I think in situations like these it's the right thing to put your mental health first and give up alcohol altogether. But the fact that she fell pregnant 5 months after announcing she's quitting alcohol and the fact that she tried to push the "I'm an alcoholic" narrative and that she needs to be "sober" so hard seems a bit fishy to me now. I've had alcoholics in my family and from what she described she doesn't fall into that category for me personally.

And I know it should be a given that she doesn't drink now that she's pregnant and it makes sense for her to point that out in her newest instagram post, but she would have pointed out she's not drinking alcohol even if she wasn't pregnant right now. Like she did on twitter during her wedding planning and how weird it was for her to be buying alcohol for everyone else when she doesn't drink because she's "sober" now.

Zoella- anxiety (big response and resonated with many) Mel capitalised on it.

Hannah Witton - CrohnsDisease- Mel has IBS shortly followed the success of wittons series on - also copied wittons sexual health content


Lucy moon - alcohol problem videos also does well and Melanie jumps the bandwagon.

PCOS - attached picture- notice the date was last summer 2019 when she had a "gammy ovary" yet in Jan just gone she made a big fuss over a possible PCOS diagnosis and mentioned how She's never been to a gyno before and cannot believe she might have PCOS. My question is if she was claiming she had a gammy ovary last year, why is she making a deal about a PCOS scare if she was previously diagnosed witha gammy ovary?This would be on her medical file and reachable by any doctor, so why then is she acting like this new possible diagnosis is left field if she was previously diagnosed with a gammy ovary the year prior? Does what I'm saying make sense? It's hard to verbalize haha. Please feel free to reword this in a way that flows better

Hazel Hayes- Completed copied hazel hayes TOTM format down to music , editing and those long reflective dialogues hazel does.

Repeal the 8th - makes an abortion video, fucks off to Spain, spamming RTE on Twitter with her abortion video while telling people asking her to use her platform to encourage voting " most of my followers are American" " I don't want to alienate followers"

Her what I eat in a day videos- she basically spends half the video reassuring herself the food is good not bad. And it's not a healthy message to be sending to young girls.

She claims ailments and constant life hurdles depending on what's trending and woke at the time to stay relevant and make coin

Quarantine wine what can I say 😂

Ah yes, finally a thread for her!

Someone asked what was the last straw that made us go from Melanie's fans to hating her. Melanie was actually the first YouTuber I ever started following and I was mesmerized my her when I originally found her in 2014. Something changed drastically after she broke up with Shane and that's when the attention seeking behavior really started coming through.

Most of my favorite Melanie BS moments have already been mentioned a couple of times but here are some gems from the past:

- When she made a video about no longer being vegan because it was triggering for her. This was when FreeLee the Banana Girl was huge and would make shaming videos about big YouTubers eating meat. In her video, Melanie said several times that she didn't want FreeLee making a video of her, although it was obvious that she was actually praying for the opposite. Having watched her since 2014, I don't remember her ever mentioning that she had ever been vegan before.
- Her bisexuality. I know this is controversial but I am just not buying it. Whenever she has talked about sex with women (which is surprisingly rare, considering that she talks about sexuality a lot) her descriptions sound like something out of lesbian porn aimed at men. She has also made a brief comment in the past that she would do Jennifer Lawrence "if I was into girls" before making a huge deal about her bisexuality.
- Her food intolerances – yet she keeps eating things that she is intolerant to. Before the IBS and gluten, it was lactose intolerance. She kept eating lactose all the time and then complaining about her tummy ache.
- When she was going full steam ahead with having a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic. She only agreed to cancel the wedding party after the local government literally forced her to. And now she's being a victim and claiming that she did it voluntarily to protect people.

Shane was her boyfriend who she was with when she started her channel. They were together for years and moved in together in an apartment in Dublin. They broke up a few months afterwards though, sometime in 2015/2016.
 
I’ve never been much into her because she comes across as someone who hops bandwagons to stay relevant and has little personality of her own. I thought she was pretty inoffensive until reading here

I really don’t understand why she is flouting social distancing rules if she’s so worried about miscarriage? I’ve suffered a miscarriage myself so I identify with her fears and paranoia. But I don’t understand how those fears don’t extend to coronavirus. Sure, stress is concerning during pregnancy but so is a new virus that we know little about!
 
So glad someone started this thread! I actually quite enjoy her videos but had to stop following her on social media as all her nude photos started to annoy me (nothing wrong with posting nude photos, it was just becoming a lot.) But the reason I started to dislike her is so niche - I HATED when she would record all her burping or her groaning on the toilet with IBS pains for vlogs or when she did that insta story of going to A&E because she was belching too much - I genuinely made a face and hit unfollow 😂
