I listened to a few minutes of her latest my trolling hell radio segment. What I found interesting is that she said ‘Becky’ was all matey and tried to hug her when they greeted. But in previous accounts of this story Becky was meek, timid, shamefaced and couldn’t stop apologising for the crime of posting here. At least keep your fictional character stories straight
And she was magnanimous to Becky in this telling. She actually admired her bravery in coming forward. Whereas at the time she was just bitchy about her. And I'm sure there was a discussion with John Niven on Twitter laughing at 'Becky' and Sali saying 'wait til we meet up and I play you the full recording'.
 
What date was Freaky Friday?
Friday September 27th 2019

The day Sali Hughes, Patron Saint of Tattle commenced advertising for new members in the world’s most successful censorship campaign since Barb Streisand tried to stop people looking at a photo of Californian coastal erosion.

🙌 as Pats might say 🙌

I joined around then, because of her. I’d looked at the posts up til then and honestly couldn’t see what she was talking about.
 
She’d been annoying me for ages with her meanness on Twitter to other celebs (mostly women) & how she cost another woman her job (and was proud about it). Then Freaky Friday happened & it’s been all go ever since. Never a dull moment as she morphed from ‘pretty honest’ journalist to influencer, making bank with her impartial recommendations (whilst moaning furiously about advertising guidelines).
 
I was looking up when she did Freaky Friday and re read an article from The Guardian she wrote.
In it was this comment which I thought was strange tbh. People here didn't troll her enough.

What? She wanted people to directly attack her instead of talk about her in a place where she’d have to go looking for it? Ludicrous. I bet she has excellent imaginary arguments with us in her head.

She knows perfectly well that doing this in her WhatsApp WOULD be trolling, stalking even.
Here? It's gossip, just like in her beloved mags.
You'd think that all the praise she gets on Insta would be enough for her ego.

It should be commemorated every year by everyone donating to Hygiene Banks.
 
I think I googled something like 'Sali Hughes annoying and preachy' as that is how I'd started to find her columns. I obviously do not object to sustainability or cruelty-free beauty; these are self-evidently good things. It's just the tone of her Guardian columns had become so joyless and holier than thou. I *then* started to think back to her absolutist pronouncements and the cult-like feeling of the SHB forum and had the epiphany ... bit of a twit!
Anyway, that Googling led me here and to the Freaky Friday clip. There was no going back!
 
I'm not sure that she means her WhatsApp. I think she means a private WhatsApp group chat.
Yeah this, she wishes any negative opinions about her were kept to private.

But if you are a public instagram influencer then you'd be crazy to insist on all opinions to be kept in private, but we are where we are. I was going to say you live by the sword but knowing Sali she'd turn that phrase about karma into a death threat like she was with someone's joke that she'd sell her children for a lipstick. "¡They said I'd sell my children!"

It's particularly funny for her to insist on this with all the records of her using her social media for posts that are far worse than the most of tattle. She's deleted loads of tweets that would get her instantly banned by the BBC, but the receipts still exist on tattle.

Online commentary is the closest thing to regulation that influencers have.

Not going to lie, have played that shimmering with self righteousness indignant vid more than once when having a bad day at work and it never fails to cheer me.
It's a video version of a work email you draft when you're annoyed. Most people would know to never hit send. Yet here she is probably spent a long time writing it and then turning it into a video, watching back said video and then clicking post. 😬 awks.
