She was the victim, yes, even if she doesn't self describe in this way. She has also been extremely lucky on her path in life - and it is purely luck, plus access to family finance and the luck of being around in a gold paved era during which she came to journalism, not her writing talent (lol), which lands where she is today. There is of course zero acknowledgement of this luck. Never one ounce of acknowledgement that a 14 year old girl moving to / being trafficked to London with zero qualifications would not end up working at The Guardian today perhaps wouldn't go amiss.

Although I think she had no particular aptitude for journalism, I think she did have quite a lot going for her besides the luck of having a well-connected relative who could open a few doors.

She had confidence and self-belief. Hard to over-estimate the importance of that in developing a career. She was highly ambitious and competitive - something she used to acknowledge. She had the gift of the gab - able to speak confidently and persausively (I think PR would have been a much better fit than journalism). She was pretty (always helps). And could be personally charming - I was charmed by my one brief encounter with her at an event.

I suppose she has also been lucky in that the opportunity to transition from journalism to influencing arose at the time when opportunities for her type of journalism were drying up.
 
Jesus! I managed 5 min and had to disengage with all the gulping and hair tucking. All this work experience she’s done to be a writer and 28 years of being a ‘journalist’ and somehow her writing style still resembles that a teenager writing a rushed homework with the help of the trusty thesaurus.

On 25 November her extensionist posted a video putting in her extensions. A week or so later she posted a video showing her healthy looking new extensions (left pic). A week or so after that someone posted a pic of her at a Christmas drinks thing (right pic). The change seems tp be a grey-ish/brown-ish tint but also something - brutal straightening? - that makes them look damaged. Could be the look she was going for?

Her extensions always look fluffy and ratty-ended too, not just now

I vote for brutal straightening. She seems to love that crappy ultra-ironed look. Professional stylists always slightly turn the irons at the end so the hair gently curves and looks polished but natural as it retains some movement (see pic 1); amateurs who over-iron frazzle the hair straight right to the end (see pic 2).

I guess she assumes that it doesn't matter as it's just extensions, but her hair gets shorter and rattier by the week.

Totally agree. And it explains why she was so defensive when Hirons reminded us all Sali has zero qualifications - if she didn't got to school she doesn't even have a GCSE - and then sequed into why did you want to become a beauty journalist...because as anyone who worked in magazines knows, beauty 'journalism' was essentially rehashing press releases. It's not actual journalism at all. Fashion editors had to craft a 'story' from a pile of garments, book and film reviewers had to put in some thinking time and features were the actual journalists. But beauty? Nah.
That's why Snippy got so snippy - beauty journalist is a dead career; gone and never coming back as we have influencers, but the others all survive because they required some actual skill, so She Here has to position herself as being able to write anything, because her only credibility comes from being a 'journalist'.

It reminds me of the sketchy wigs they used to put on the girls during their Snog, Marry, Avoid makeovers. I keep expecting Jenny Frost to pop by and say "Pod off.'

Holy duck! Sali’s not morphing into Barbie! Add a pair of DARK TORTOISE PANTOS CHANEL WOMEN’S FRAMES and a snazzy jacket in the same hue as her lovely lemon tutu and she’s becoming…

According to sali’s latest insta story she went to the BBC for a broadcast this morning. Thought it was radio but it was actually TV. No makeup so she had 6 minutes to rectify… anyone know what programme she was on?

Oh no - this didn't necessitate an emergency makeup purchase did it?
She was cutting it fine only turning up six minutes beforehand whether for radio or TV wasn't she?
