Personally I think if they’d both disappeared that would’ve created more speculation, and outrage at her ‘baiting’ than what she has shown.I was thinking about this, and I believe there is a middle ground. What I suggested earlier was the middle ground: pause all your promotional stuff and don't exploit your son's illness!
They needed one unified post on their grid saying: "Due to unexpected circumstances, we're going to be offline for a while. We'll be back soon." and left it there.
Would it have caused some speculation? Maybe. But whatever the speculation, it would have been better than people thinking the baby was dead because of her vague-booking and baiting posts (what was that post about her praying over his body earth side or something?). I mean, that was just awful and caused a lot of people to panic! That is what leads to wild speculation.
I'd like to think the middle ground of silence on both their channels would have been respected by everyone. It is hard to respect her choice to repeatedly post her baby with his nasal tubes or in his hospital crib, in between ads for skincare products and a Whitefox sweater, as she is now. The last picture of the baby is pure exploitation and it's quite hard to overlook that this is an active choice she is making to garner sympathy for herself.
I do hear you that sometimes people get too nit-picky- I was not in the last thread, but I do feel this happens at various points. In this case, though, the topic is quite sensitive and people are hurting and upset, so I feel they're noticing details and reacting from a place of concern over the baby, not hatred of Sarah.
Id be more inclined to think the baby had died or was really really sick if that were the case, rather than us being able to see he’s quite alive from what she’s shown.
I actually don’t think the ‘morning routine’ reel was an ad at all. She barely showed the skincare, it was from brands that she didn’t tag as well.
Was it necessary? No. But it’s her ‘thing’ on insta/vlogs, and with not much else to do with a newborn in hospital I’m not really mad at her for banging that reel together.
And as for the White Fox? Well the Balenciaga was probably in the wash.
I am also super guilty of nit picking, so no judgement for anyone there.
I just think it’s a bit far for people to be outright saying she wished her baby was dead, was trying to kill him etc.
she might make dumb decisions but I think it’s a bit far to be making serious allegations like that (and makes us look even more unhinged to whatever stan stumbles into our threads tbh).
