WOW WORDED PERFECTLYAimee if you read here, and I’m sure you do I’d like to say something directly to you - no insults or name calling, simply my take on all of the negative attention that comes your way. You always say you don’t know what you have done to deserve the hate you get so maybe just take a minute and listen without throwing a strop or trying to put a spin on what I’m actually going to say
It seams that most people on these “trolling” sites have watched and maybe followed you for sometime and many will have tried to engage with you in a perfectly none hateful way - maybe asking a question when you have given conflicting information or giving an opinion that differs to yours. But isn’t that what ticktock is about ? The engagement? Isn’t that what makes creators their cash? Maybe if you had allowed people the opportunity to ask or have their say - you know an actual conversation or debate instead of just delete and block you would be more respected - when you are in the wrong and apology maybe? A bit of humbleness would go hell of a long way. What’s the point of having thousands of followers if most of them aren’t there for the right reasons?
Let’s look at yesterdays sun bed drama - hear me out here - you made a video a while ago saying how you had been diagnosed with Basil cell carcinoma- many people were concerned for you - and rightly so - cancer is incredibly triggering for many. I lost my beautiful mum to cancer at a young age - so to think that anyone with a young child, like you do, could potentially be at risk is automatically triggering to me personally. You engaged and welcomed the lovely comments wishing you well, and all the support that was offered. Skip forward to you telling us of your serious health anxiety and its devastating effects on you - again accepting the encouragement and support from your followers. Then comes the heartfelt post of how you are petrified of anything happening to you and leaving your child without a mummy. Lots of support again, and lots of kind words. Around this time it appears now that people were already asking questions about your tan and what fake tan you was using - anyone who saw the BCC post would never in a million years have thought you was actually using sun beds. No you never denied your use of them, and it’s totally your business whether you do or don’t. Now here’s the deal breaker for many - instead or trying to spin the narrative you could maybe have explained why you thought the risk was worth it? Did it turn out you jumped the gun when posted about your diagnosis? Have you just been totally stupid out of vanity maybe and you are ashamed? Does having tan just make you happy? Yes it’s your business but you made it other peoples when you initially sought their support- when you gaslit people who saw the leaflet maybe that would have been the time to say - to explain - instead the people you alienated and rudely blocked for asking the question felt the need to bring you down and all this could have been avoided with a bit of humility and honesty. If the diagnosis was true you could have really helped young women especially with the pressures they feel about having the perfect glowing tan when you need to wear factor 50 and stay out of the sun. About how the holidays in the sunshine ramps up your anxiety as you want to feel tanned and confident but you are struggling with the fake tan? How you need to remind yourself that you need to stay safe in the sun so you can be around to see your child grow? Even about how the pressure to look a certain way has won and you have buckled and used the tanning beds? BUT NO AIMEE!!!!! look at how YOU have handled the situation. You was not stalked - someone was just in the right place at the right time and outed you. Come on Aimee - do the right thing and own this mess! Please don’t make it worse and think of the people who look up to you and are actually influenced by you - do the right thing
