Bad Influencers / Bad Role models?

Ray37

I've been blocked by Rosie too, for asking a question. She's a very delicate one IMO, loves an auld block.

I think they're all a bad influence to be honest. You'd hardly want to be taking your life goals from a fitness and 'lifestyle" blogger or "social media influencer" or z-list celebrity famous solely for posting selfies or bikini shots of herself holding a box of "skinny tea" or whatever particular brand is paying her on whatever particular day.

And the face-tuning thing is real. The bendy railings in the background or cartoonishly small waist or hilariously pore-free face is a giveaway every time. But I suppose there's an argument to be made about that sort of shyte always existing to some extent. In my time it was magazines with photoshopped models, now it's #fitfam bloggers photoshopping themselves.

There's a fitness Instagrammer who I always had time for and liked their honesty but my views have changed the past few weeks.

She got seriously lean and was proud showing off results, etc.
After gaining a good bit of weight on holiday, she put up on Snapchat that she was embarrassed to be seen out and about because of weight gain. Then a different contradictory post being about proud of her new curves.

For example Rosanna Davison going on about health and wellness and yet she's covered in make up, has had plastic surgery and lives an unrealistic lifestyle... she's never without her make up.

There has never been evidence of plastic surgery or are you just assuming?

Also what is the unrealistic lifestyle. Im no fan just curious.

What's realistic about heading off to Mauritius and on other holidays every other month?!

Edit just saw Mod note!

She is a total melt the head. Full of contradictions. Head wrecker of the highest order. Latest thing she is pushing is mindfulness when I consider her not to be very 'true' to how she actually feels.

The evidence is that her boobs have grown as she has gotten thinner / fitter.

That doesn't happen naturally.

And if you look at the playboy pics, unless they are miracle boobs, as she lies back, they probably wouldn't stand to attention as they do.

I had thought that she had admitted it but after investigating, due to your comment, I see that she denies it.

The unrealistic lifestyle is that being able to spend 2 hours in the gym everyday, having the time to cook your vegan / vegetarian / paleo meals for every meal, never appearing in public without being totally made up... as in it's unsustainable for others.

Well it's sustainable for her and she is not the only one in Ireland who can afford that kind of lifestyle. Complaining about it is more begrudgery than anything else.

Problem with Rosana Davidson is that she is presenting herself as authority on nutrition and selling complete nonsense. Who cares how often she goes on holidays or how many boob jobs she had, claims that gluten causes autism and similar are a lot more harmful and damaging.

fg1406

Nutritionist isn't an accredited qualification and anyone can call themselves one so I have no idea why people buy into Rosannas nonsense. Sure she looks great but she also has a job as a full time model. Telling ordinary Josephine Soaps about gluten being a great big evil monster linked to autism was highly irresponsible. I'm sure her recipe books have nice dishes in them but to make claims about the benefits or drawbacks of certain diets without any qualification is rash particularly when so many teenage girls buy into everything they do and say.
Orthorexia is something I see regularly amongst fellow gym goers and also in teens that I come across in a youth centre where I volunteer at weekends. It's pretty depressing to see 17 and 18 year olds on paleo diets, particularly when they look fine.

Agree with everything being said about Siobhan I'm afriad to say, as I did like her once.

I hadn't been following her that long anyway, but I didn't really find her regime that healthy. I know she has been away on holiday a good bit recently, but she seems to drink quite a lot. Does anyone else think this or am I being overly harsh?

She has Snapchat.
Yep she's the one who got the augmentation and appeared to have got it discounted/free, judging by all the video blogs she did for the company who provided it.

I'd probably drink quite similar amounts to her when socialising but if I was a fitness blogger I wouldn't be documenting it to the extent that she does. Too many snaps/stories with her drinking & eating junk.

Anyone watching Riona Little lately? She did a Q&A yesterday and said that she had finally found the 'confidence' to try drugs. The girl is an absolute mess, and she has a young audience (she often shares snaps of her followers in school uniforms). Not only does she spout some absolute rubbish, she is damaging any hope she has of ever getting a normal job.

Never heard of her, who is she? What does she do? Beauty, fashion etc?

She's a sex worker.

Ray37

No, she was working as a 'sugar baby' in London, and claimed she was being paid 15k for it. She was scammed by the guy, never got the money and came back to Irl. She is 19 now, I think she was 18 then. Then she popped off to Athens to work in a brothel as a prostitute. Every now and then she does Q&As about her life, and yesterdays was the one where she started going on about her drug use etc.....

I have deleted snap chat but I followed her very briefly. She is an absolute melt. Cannot believe people are actually aspiring to that lifestyle. An awful idiot and the way she talks is rage inducing!

I added her just out of sheer curiosity a while back when she was working in Greece. Saw all the threads on Facebook about her. Couldn't believe it so had to have a look for myself! Crazy! Haven't refollowed her new account and have no interest! She is the type of girl that is a bad influence not all the other bloggers! Don't know how she has a following to be honest! You would think her parents would do something about her behaviour! Maybe I'm being a bit dramatic but I know of that was me my parents would have me under lock and key! Try sort me out!

Completely. It's actually disgusting the stuff she talks about. She has a brass neck though but I really think she will regret having that tag for the rest of her life.

Anyone follow peaches n cream?
She has been promoting hair extensions for ages well over a year or two....easilocks, great lengths etc. Now she has a post up saying she is now embarking on a 12 month hair repair journey with alfaparf as hair extensions have completely ruined her hair !!

What's her snap name? I followed her old account, out of pure....I don't know shock!!! But it got closed down
Does she actually consider herself a blogger?

In all fairness I actually felt sorry for her, she's obviously not right in the head

Bananaleaf

She sounds like a mess, though having said that, I'm off to have a look now...

Surely if she's going on about taking drugs whatever she's using would delete her account no? Or would she have to be actively encouraging using them
