If anyone were to answer that, even with approximate guesses or from stuff she had stupidly put in the public domain that can be accessed via wholly legal means (paraphrasing but y'know) we would STILL be discussing her children on this vile site despite what she's been through.
Don’t forget the part where she said the site was called ihatesalihughes.com with her tongue firmly in her cheek.
Well, I have to say that I FOUND MY PEOPLE!!
Some context:
This morning I saw on my Twitter timeline that someone I follow liked "that" tweet from Sali, the one directing to her Instagram video. Clicking through that tweet I saw her mention of this site and came here and maaaaaaannn, I wasn't disappointed
I didn't read every single post of the three threads because it's nearly 3000 posts and I rushed though them, I wanted to know as much as I could about the people who were inflicting suffering on poor little Sal' *cackles*
Some history:
I used to belong to her GTL FB group and when it was closed I moved to her website forum along everyone who did it too. And what happened you may ask? I was bullied twice, once in the FB group and the second time in the forum, not only by the people who had I had a different opinion from but alas, Sali herself. I decided that I wasn't going to be bullied a third time and just left. Why was I bullied? Because I obviously dared to have a different opinion to the majority of people on both discussions. I am absolutely not surprised to find so many ex GTLers and ex Forumites here as I refused to feel the odd one out, deep down I knew that there should be more people like me around.
I have never read the forum since I left but I carried on reading her column on the Guardian mostly out of curiosity. I started noticing a shift in the comments a while ago when people genuinely began asking her why she had stopped making videos and started making columns - ie. badly disguised paid for ads - about products. The kickstart point if I'm not wrong was the column about the 40 quid shower cap where the shower cap "inventor" (bwahahaha) came BTL to defend good ol' Sal who was being roasted about recommending a shower cap that cost 40 English pounds and practically gave the game away that such column was a paid post. I relished, yes, I bloody did.
The comments started getting more and more inquisitive and I'm sure she has a list of posters' names she doesn't want their comments posted as I tried to post many times - nothing aggressive - and the comment was never published. Please note that I never had a problem with my comments in any other section of the Guardian.
I am ashamed to say that I was once her admirer but after a while I could see her for what she really is: a glorified make up artist. She calling herself a journalist is an affront to real journalists. She basically uses flowered up language to talk about lipstick. Who exactly does she think she is? The Keats of Foundation? The Shakespeare of Eye Shadow? Her writing is pitiful, vacuous, empty. What she is though, is a basic sales person. Had she never met the right connections and charmed her way through her "career" she would be at a counter selling her beloved Bobbi Brown stuff.
Going through these threads I learned so much more stuff that actually confirmed my point of view: the clique, the bullying, the double standards when it comes to female friendships, that she married a Tory while being a "leftie" (the champagne socialist stuff is pretty galling). Her website completely tanked, I had a look today and no new posts for years, no wonder she's returning to Facebook where she can flog stuff for free while being paid for it. I flicked through her books in a bookshop and I can't believe anybody in their sane mind would buy that crap. If you compare and contrast to the book Lisa Eldrige wrote, about the history of make up, her efforts are laughable.
She has no discernible talent and like the saying goes, you can fool some people for a while but not everyone all the time. Today is probably the first column ever that had no comments section BTL. Her desperation in her video saying that she had legal advice - DID SHE BOLLOCKS - is hilarious! I don't want to give away too much but unless she's receiving rape/death threats or serious and repetitive abuse she can do zilch about it. She is annoyed and scared because people started seeing her for what she really is, a big fraud. Someone who does paid posts for scrunchies and shower caps. Someone who's bitter because she wasn't at the Victoria Beckham make up launch. Someone who can't write something insightful to save her life. Someone who's incredibly jealous of talented people like Lisa Eldrige and associates herself with likewise shits like Botox Tilbury.
She's going to regret her video because I could see this site got a LOT of new posters, me included, because of her own stupidity in publicising it. This whole omnishambles should be a warning to her, she should take a step back and ask herself why so many people are taking a stand against her. This should be an opportunity to stop, think and learn. Unfortunately, she's too conceited, arrogant and vain to admit that she was ever wrong. Her world is about to come crashing down on her and I am going to watch it with my very large G&T in one hand and my phone in the other.
PS: I'm so sorry about the long post but I had never spoken to anyone about the bullying I suffered from Sali and her cronies, I bottled everything up. This is the first time and I feel so relieved.

She went to Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni so yes, she would speak Welsh.
She wrote a nine minute statement and got it legalled in super quick time, dontchaknow.
