Miles of entertainment in the comments under that bull****callerouter instagram post about being blocked by an influencer. Sosueme and MUF seem to be the worst offenders, blocking people for simply asking innocent questions about product ingredients or for 'liking' a post that another commenter made etc...

I overheard my oh's snapchat the other week, the Cork one (Jordan?) was saying that if someone liked a post she felt was negative she would go out of her way to find their usernames for every media platform she could so she could block them from every angle. Seemed a little obsessive to me.

Slightly unrelated, but she also said she blocks any man who tries to interact with her without question. Since these are essentially commercial platforms could this be against equality legislation? Certainly if Tesco or the likes did it would be. Are these accounts still personal so equality acts don't apply? They wouldn't have a business without them.

Muf posted another heavily filtered pic of her out for her birthday on Instagram earlier

That photo does no justice to whatever dress she's wearing. It looks like it's been shredded.

I think she didn’t accept male followers for a year or two on Snapchat due to the amount of d*ck pics she was being sent.
If a man genuinely wanted to follow her, they could do so by FB messaging her their Snapchat username and she would then accept. She accepted my friend after he did that, not sure what her story is these days.

Probably all the filtering

She needs to accept the size she is and stop this ****e

The unedited pics that have been posted are a shocking indication of her delusion

You can see the size she is next to maeve who really is a small and slim woman. No amount of photoshopping can change that.

Yes she's Maeve Madden an Irish fitness blogger/pt/influencer.
She has ibs and pcos and posts quite regularly about how it affects her work outs and doesn't shy away from 'bloated' pics. She's a bit of a bragger though and can be irritating but I like watching her workouts she's quite inspiring!

Well whats weird about the pic is that muf appears to have edited her torso to give herself either abs or flabby boobs falling out of her bra but not her huge arms

It's bizarre

Definitely suffers from some sort of "body dysmorphia" and needs to get some professional help before its too late

SusieBlue · 14-01-2018 2:01am

She really doesn’t seem to have taken anything from this except to ignore it and hope it’ll go away.
It’s actually very sad that a woman her age would continue to behave like this.
She is incapable of taking criticism and by continuing to photoshop her photos she’s making an absolute fool of herself.

She must be suffering from something, as i said above body dysmorphia, which is classed as a mental illness.

If not, then she is a fraud for heavily editing imagines of herself

Is there any need to refer to her body in these terms? She doesn't have "huge arms". I am dead set against her editing and facetuning but that's very personal.

She lied, and lied, and lied. About reselling gifted items. About photoshopping. About losing weight. About buying her apartment in London. About Paul being emotionally abusive. She knew people were aware of what she was up to but refused to address it. And now it has all blown up in her face and she's playing the victim. Its actually mind blowing that she was so arrogant she thought she could get away with it.

They kinda are when compared to the alien body she transforms into after editing.

I meant it in reference to her torso in the picture, it's completely disproportionate

CalamariFritti · 14-01-2018 10:18am

Have we really come this far? That we actually photoshop ourselves to be published worldwide. Thinking that anyone cares? And more baffling that some people actually do seem to care?

Bloody hell. I'm obviously not 'with it' anymore. Clearly. And kinda happy about it reading all this.

She sells fitness workshops and turkey burgers on the back of her ‘amazing’ body to teenagers and young women. That’s why people care.

She doesn't have huge arms when she's in proportion to her body but when she photoshops the rest of her upper body into tiny pixi like proportions and forgets her arms then it does look bizarre and the poster wasn't being nasty to point it out.

Her photoshopping last night dragged her friend's arm and clothes out into a weird shape and made her look odd, but MUF's selfishness didn't care, she lives in a world of 'as long as I look good who cares about anyone else'

She needs to stop doing it, if people keep standing up for her and defending her it enables the behaviour.

That's great but the problem will be enforcement. The ASAI have never actually done anything to stop bloggers apart from giving them a slight dressing down. They need to follow through and actually start fining bloggers or the companies that pay them, it's the only way they'll stop.

I think with all the online and national media coverage, it might give them the incentive to really crack down on this.

Have any of them so much as put up a link to an anti bullying website or charity after their "Power Rangers Attack!" posts?
I thought Suzanne Jackson was contacting charities to work with? Given that she was the leader of this, I'd expect her to be leading the charge. All Ive seen on her snapchat is her dogs and her banging on about Phantom of the Opera with her parents.

It appears to be a collective head in the sand, hoping this will all blow over soon and they can get back to the business of hawking whatever ****e the gullible are willing to shell out their sheckels for.

MuffinTop86 · 17-01-2018 1:19pm

She's a great one for saying she'll do something and never doing it.
The weekly non-sponsored reviews lasted one week. I don't know was it an attempt for companies to send her loads of freebies to try or whatever but she never continued after that except another fave foundations which had already been done.

Though now that the Insta page called her out on her earlier blog posts about calling Fergie a tranny and mocking Victoria Beckham and others, she's not really in a position to be Captain Planet any more.

Her response to those posts being brought up was laughable. That she had 8 writers back in 2011, and also that she didn't check anything they put online? The victim complex was very strong too, it was the fault of whoever brought them up to try to "ruin" her, not hers for having that content on her website under her name in the first place.
They're incapable of taking ownership for anything they do. Its a bizarre way to live.

retro:electro · 17-01-2018 1:51pm

Also, if she had "8 writers" when it was a new blog with a small readership- what the hell was Sue doing? Why call your blog So Sue Me if you're not writing the content? Isn't that why people follow you- to hear your thoughts and opinions on things? Of course she wrote it. Such a lame excuse. Who has 8 writers when their blog is a year old, and, it's depressing if she had a team of 8 and that's the dross they produced. Spelling errors everywhere.

Lindy97 · 17-01-2018 1:56pm

She had an advertisement for an intern position last year.

https://twitter.com/sosueme_ie/status/349478333282664448?lang=en-gb

It's gone now but the description was basically a blogger, as in you'd be writing her blogs and finding her content and for free, no pay. I'm sure she had 1000s of applications from her dedicated fans but it made me think, well what will you be doing?
Suppose she has to make time to fly to China and pick out her cheap tat to flog in the Irish market.

You don't need to follow someone on Snapchat to watch their story. Just search their handle and then click on the little circle beside the add button and you can view their story.

This only works if their SC is public though, won't work on private accounts.

rawn · 19-01-2018 12:52am

Thanks! Just watched her there, never heard of her before today. She comes across as very genuine, I would be inclined to believe her personally, and I'm beginning to think Bullsh-tcallerouter should at least try to contact the bloggers for an explanation before posting about her. very innocent explanation (if it's true).

Suckit · 19-01-2018 1:36am

I have to agree, she does come across as very genuine. Either she is an amazing liar or she is genuine. I am tending to go with the latter.

I did not see much about the hat comp, so i am a bit confused there.

dudara · 19-01-2018 1:41am

I’ve ran a few competitions on the past on my blog, and several have been won by work colleagues, even though I randomly select winners.

If you think about, it makes kinda sense as your family & friends are more likely to see your posts and enter. For that reason I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that comps are fixed.

Do you think no one has ever tried to contact bloggers for an explanation?
What happens is you ask them and they block you instead of explaining.

Now they are being outed for their behaviour and they don't like it so they are crying on snapchat to get sympathy.

That may be, but there a probably a few casualties that haven't behaved badly. I believes that SCS might be one of them (only from watching todays Snaps, so i may have missed a load of her acting badly), as she comes across quite well.
