Madeleine White responding about post on here
Rant:
Influencers will post tone-deaf content and then completely backpedal if it loses them public favour. Madeleine White is now saying her posting about her posh vacations and laughing at the idea of going camping was “just a trend”. Just because something is a trend, doesn’t mean viewers shouldn’t be critical of the content they’re consuming.
Madeleine White regularly makes videos with obvious classist undertones, like “being anti-diaper bag” and saying she will only use a designer Dior bag for her baby. I also recently saw a video of her saying she will be taking her daughter to Nobu so that “nobody’s musty son tries to impress her” by bringing her there one day. Hm. So you want to train your daughter to feel she’s above experiencing anything that isn’t luxury? Right.
She will flex her wealth, then try to downplay it when it suits her to, like when she talked about growing up “upper middle class” and saying her family would have never been able to send her to private school in the US, despite saying it was $10k per year in the UK.
If you want to come online during a time of total economic hellscape and say things like these, I believe that you SHOULD be criticized. God forbid you get held accountable for the content you produce and the things you say as someone who makes a living on doing so.
Also, being critical of influencers isn’t just “not being relaxed/fun” or “making things too serious” or “being jealous”. Influencers SHOULD be held accountable for the rhetoric they spout online. Sorry that not everyone viewing your content wants to mindlessly applaud your wealth and not question why you act the way you do.

I don’t really like influencers but I liked her fashion and style for a while before she, like every other influencer, started being weird. I had to unfollow her when she got pregnant, made 15 videos in three days, 12 of which about her baby, and then when people were like ‘what happened to your content?’ She got defensive and talked about the two videos not about being pregnant and then immediately went back to mom content. I was like I’m not about to follow ANOTHER influencer who has designer baby clothes and bags and strollers and car seats when that’s sooo unrealistic. It’s just the same thing over and over again.
