I was 💯 expecting Sophie to say she had burnout. But maybe anxiety's a safer card because it sounds less severe/garners more sympathy as "burnout" implies someone has bitten off far more than they can chew. And it won't jeopardise her work opportunities, say if brands read that as "she's got too much work on her plate already". Again, not refuting that she has anxiety, but is that the full story?🙃

Is she really clean now?

The video of her dancing at 7am, was that just excitement to be back home, with the love of her life?

I hope to be totally wrong on what I think is going on, but the only pic of her that looked somewhat believable (her being sober) was the pic Jamie shared when she arrived back.

🤣excitement to be home with Jamie🤣Maybe she worked herself into a giddy state to make him more bearable🤡
 
Lol I'm still convinced that this Reddit poster stole intel from Tattle...But yeah, 💯 agree with what they're saying.

Anxiety is a very very good angle because it’s completely relatable. While not everybody has anxiety disorders or anxiety that impacts their every day, almost everyone on earth has experienced that awful heart racing briefly debilitating feeling of anxiety. So reading a statement that it’s something she’s suffered with for ever makes most readers go “oh god yeah, I remember feeling that way, if that’s how she’s feeling all the time, no wonder she needs help for it.”

Needing help with drugs doesn’t make you an every day using addict. Sometimes you realise you reach for it too often and that not every celebration or commiseration needs to be accompanied by a bit of coke. Some people are like that with booze, some are like it with foods that are bad for them. She’s rich and has zero responsibilities so can address those concerns in a rehab facility rather than ploughing on through life like us plebs have to.
And yeah, feeling scattered after a weekend leads to feeling exhausted and having heightened anxiety. That exhaustion and anxiety makes the effects of coke seem really desirable for social functions, and so the cycle repeats. A circuit breaking stay abroad is a quick way to reset and refresh away from the usual triggers of London life (and her annoying af husband).

And this may be to telling of my misspent youth but one night on the gear with no sleep does not a bender make. Benders are 3+ days I swear.
 
I can't help but think if it was anxiety they/she would have just been honest from the start. Or at least been like "I'm taking a break and will be back soon" but instead they attempted a half-arsed cover up that didn't work. The fact that it seemed so unplanned and out of the blue, judging by the fact they had JUST brought the podcast back, makes me think it was triggered by something e.g. a sesh that went too far and Jamie gave her an ultimatum

So glad I'm not the only one who calls b/s on Sophie's anxiety post. It feels so forced and disengenuous. I really hope she doesn't start jumping on the mental health bandwagon and monetising on it (I can already feel it in my bones), because that would be a massive slap in the face to anxiety sufferers.

I don't really believe her but she probably thinks she might lose work by coming clean.

Exactly this. She looked really ill and not mentally with it for months before the wedding. And when I say "not with it", I don't mean anxiety. I mean deranged-looking. Harsh but true if you look at some of her pics.

Also, why is she acting like she’s suddenly perfectly fine now? As if it only takes one whole month to cure your anxiety! It’s a real kick in the teeth for those who chronically suffer with anxiety on a daily basis, for years… decades…

I don’t believe she’s 100% clean now either. Especially when she has to cope with Jamie’s hyperactivity for the rest of her life.

I agree, it's all very odd. As someone who's had anxiety disorder for aeons, I can't relate to her post whatsoever. The tone of it feels really off and dishonest; she's definitely not giving us the full story.

Honestly, if Jamie were my husband, I would get to the point of telling him to just shut the f*ck up😂His podcast is exhausting to listen to. Constantly going off on tangents and speaking over his guests. That said, most of the MiC cast's podcasts are a mental drain.
 
If you watch old MIC (he’s not in it anymore I take it?) some of characters in the new ones are now probably old enough to be his children 😂

He NEVER lets anyone speak! And most of them are pretty bad for it but he’s definitely one of the worst. Constantly interrupting his friends/dates/girlfriend, he never listens to a word anyone else says as he’s talking over everyone all the time.

Not defending him but reckon that’s his ADHD? Isn’t excessive talking a symptom?

I listened to his podcast with Katie Price (out of morbid curiosity) and it was headache-inducing with the constant digressions. She'd start making a point, then he'd get distracted by some minor detail she mentioned and would start asking her about that instead. Sophie and Fred's podcast is terrible. It started out okay, but a recent one I listened to was so bad, had to switch it off. They devote a lot of airtime to laughing their heads off at each other's in-jokes and doing idiotic impressions of one another which aren't funny. Sophie loves talking about herself too much, is basically just the Sophie Hermann Listen To All My Brags And How Much Everyone Loves Me Show.

So many of these MiC idiots think they're interesting and talented enough to have a podcast, when they're really not.

I attempted to listen to Sophie and Fred's podcast, which lasted roughly 51 seconds. I came back for round deux, (I love to punish myself) & had to stop after a minute or so. I thought they had potential, nope, epic fail.

Haaa, well done for persevering through those two minutes🤡What did you find most unbearable about The Sophie Show?

But to have an 'addiction' where you have to go to a rehab facility in South Africa is really not that common!

It’s really common in the Chelsea set to go to rehab, and the problem with The Priory in Roehampton is that paps often hang about outside to try and catch a scoop. There used to be a Priory in Surrey but that closed a few years ago. The popular rehabs for the smart set for a long time were Cottonwood Tucson, Hazelden in Minnesota, Stepping Stones in Cape Town or Healing Wings in Mbombela, or Crossroads in Antigua. If they wanted to be seen attending rehab then they always used to go to Priory Roehampton or Promises Malibu.

Rehab doesn’t carry the same stigma in Chelsea families, or least it didn’t with the families of the Chelsea set I met in my time there!

Sadly podcasting is how these influencers are making so much ££££ so they’re all jumping on it. Just cos you have the means to set one up doesn’t mean you should, most of them just need to shut the duck up!

It's so arrogant - why does Emily think that she and her crass mum warrant a podcast? Same with Melissa and Sophie. I've tried listening to both podcasts and they were a load of drivel. Melissa's and Sophie's podcast centres around them drinking/promoting wine brands (mainly cheap plonk) and sounding completely unenthused about it. They've also self-appointed themselves as agony aunts and ask people to send them their dating dilemmas, to which they give the worst advice imaginable.
