I'm sure she has some issues from not having her biological father in her life, but we really don't know the full story. Maybe it was Verity who left him and not the other way around, maybe he doesn't even know about having a daughter, maybe Verity doesn't know who Niomi's father is. And Niomi had a long and steady relationship with Marcus throughout her youth, and she had a loving step dad. I don't know if she had to suffer or feel abandoned very much, even subconsciously. I'm not even sure she would still be hung up on Joe today if she had 'won' the breakup and ended up with another perfect, enviable partner and life. I think what gets to Niomi the most, is that life isn't an easy-breezy, sunny road leading to a fairy tale castle, but has ups and downs, and, most importantly, requires her to have agency. She had everything handed to her all her life and didn't really need to do anything. That's why all her projects end up stagnating and eventually dying, Niomi doesn't know how to stick with it and craft her own life. I think that's the biggest hurt for her, having to do it for herself. She still expects every venture to become a success by itself and doesn't realize success comes from putting in hard work every day for year after year. We preach this daily on this forum, so I feel like a broken record, but she had her influencer career kindly gifted by Marcus and his audience, she received daily gifts and dinners and major life organizing from Dreamy Joey, she never had to lift a fecking finger to get anything, and I think she feels hurt by life because this has stopped. She needs to grow up and become an adult. Her life looks like an adult life because she has money and is able to do things most people need to work for, but this is deceptive.

I think seeing everything in black and white is just a phrase meant to create mood and drama, like my heart speaks in whispers. It's just Niomi, bullshitting her way through a video, trying to sound deep and profound. I'm sure she saw plenty of color in London. I mean, how many pictures did she take of tacky Portobello Road?

And this pose looks like it belongs in Playboy, not advertising a yoga class. WTF?
Her eyes look like she's scared shitless.
