Ugh so snippy!! Who is India Masters? She comes across as a bit of a dick

also ED always seems so needy…

Gosh I can only imagine how bitchy their group chat is. Imagine having all the privileges that this gang of knobs have benefitted from and being that sneery in PUBLIC about the people you depend on to make even more money.
Also, India is the MOST too-thick-for-oxbridge-so-i’ll-settle-for-Exeter-or-St-Andrew’s name EVER.

Dolly is heading off on tour and 5/6 of the English venues are down south. Few people have commented about it and requested other locations (as is common from any tour announcement!) so now we have the rest of the crew taking the piss. Biting the hand that feeds you comes to mind 🙄

And this is why I will never ever hold any of these privileged and mostly tone deaf women on a pedestal. Quite the swerve from the sycophantic pseudo therapeutic tone ED takes on her own podcast. twit.

Eek those IG comments are really cringe.

Also I don't get their response as people asking a writer to do MORE events because they want to go is a good problem to have?

Dolly can't be arsed. She just wants to spend her time creating playlists no one listens to, enjoy living in Camden 20 years too late, posting slightly cringe pics plus being Rod Stewart's biggest fan. Parents must be proud.

Case in point.

Yeah but on tattle we’re not rude about where other tattlers come from as that’s just mean and bullying. Which is what they’re doing :)

Lol, I literally live in the suburban US Midwest, which tbf has only become tolerable since the invention of the Internet.
On a side but related note, I was surprised to see a decent (low two digits) waitlist for my library's copy of EITKAL audiobook this week AND a presence on the NYT paperback bestseller list.

Not being mean about Dolly in this post but I’m surprised you really get her in the US? :)

Australia isn't particularly different.

Yeah but some bogan writing about their house share in the northern suburbs wouldn’t be popular here 😂 her experiences she writes about are quite specific to Britain. Interesting feedback though! Guess these types of girls are universal
 
I would say that their group chat IS the place for making these comments should they choose to make them, the same as Tattle is the place to share critiques. It’s not fair or nice to do either thing in public instagram comments, and especially not when you’re clearly mocking the very people who are going to buy your books / read or listen to your content / attend the blooming tour dates if you book a convenient venue for them!
 
Well yes they can say what they want in private, but I was just saying that if they’re willing to mock ‘fans’ in instagram comments, what are they saying in private? Like, Dolly’s best mate going out to bat with Elizabeth Day in the comments reveals a lot about Dolly and their friendship, which I suspect is why Dolly didn’t join in publicly.

Also, has the comment gone now? HI GIRLS 👋

ETA: I meant the thread between India and Liz about polar bears
