I used to watch too many of these luxurious CZcamsrs, showing expensive high end goods and travelling the world in luxury, I wanted to buy my first luxury bag too bad even though it was the last thing I needed… I stopped watching most of them and basically unsubscribed to others. Guess what I leaned owning a luxury bag isn’t going to make me happy, wearing brand new outfits every month isn’t my number one concern anymore, I started to appreciate my modest life and stopped caring about how expensive I look. Those vloggers really do turn us into big consumers, wasting our hard earned money on some unimportant stuff instead of focusing on priorities. Anyway each their own I just explained how I feel
The 3-D Matrix world is about consumerism , filled with distractions buy buy buy, waste our TIME buying, going out late night wasting time n getting drunk- So humans don't experience the next level of consciousness. Because the ones that do are much happier- they don't have to work 9-5 jobs. They r living out of the MATRIX system. Too much sugary foods n fizzy/ sweeteners cause memory loss including lack of enough sleep.
When I first saw her videos to me I thought this lady is nice and then I loved her proposal videos later unsubscribed because I was going through a decluttering in my life which helped me loads and I rediscovered myself.i commented which I later deleted , after rediscovering her channel I liked who she has become. She worked hard with those 3 jobs- different from my life. But she made me realise about some things in my life which I should do- she inspires me and motivates me. NO I didn't go shopping because of her videos- I don't buy some things as I get them FREE but have to decline presents because I have so much it began to be a burden, i found JOY in giving away n feeling better.
Let’s be honest, most people on social media only show what they want people want to see (influencer or not) Does that mean that everyone is bad no, it just means we need to remember that social media doesn’t show everything. I think people need to stop putting influencers on a pedal stall. They are human just like everyone else
@@evac.7762 yes I noticed the same about Annie towards Mo. Not as much as Lydia though. Felt she was kinda embarrassed about him since he didn’t speak English like a native would. It improved a bit in the later videos.
She's always on her phone or not really as smiley as she is in her own videos. It's a bit odd but maybe she's still kind and lovely when the cameras are not recording.
I really liked her back in the day, I sometimes go back and watch the engagement video as it's one of my faves! But something changed...I hardly recognise her at all now, she comes off manic and narcissistic like she's lost herself. I wonder how long she has left in the industry, seems everything she's advertising is entry-level stuff (hair gummies, laundry detergent), I mean there are influencers with a 1/5 of the following who were invited to fashion week, doing luxury beauty campaigns just to name a few, it's sad.
@@alinapaun1360 does lydia look like the type of person who would turn down an invite? especially to FW? she is desperate for some reason to be seen as this posh, old money person. trying to buy a manor in the cotswolds! walking in the mud with her stiff, just bought hermes jumping boots and burberry parka! having a faux consultation over the phone with a famous gardener from the chelsea flower show! she burnt bridges in the fashion community thinking that weird house she bought and her goofy looking husband would secure the bag and the brands would be rolling in. it never happened, and now she’s desperately trying to reclaw her way back into the same circles with no success (ie, hobnobbing with amelia liana who is currently in the midst of a quarter life crisis). her constant, manic renovating of her house was really offputting and it coincided with her abusing ali, whom she later admitted was seconds away from divorcing her.
@@watermelon520b oh wow I did not know that. Honestly her uncut vlogs got so long I skip 90% of the content and must have missed much. Did she talked about Ali having an issue with their relationship?
I loved the Lydia in that little house in Milton Keynes.... but I lost connection to her and her content as soon as she moved into that big house. I felt like everything changed. It wasn't cosy anymore, it wasn't relatable anymore... I really miss those old days.
Same here, same as with Estee Lalonde just became super unrelatable entitled and narcissistic in their videos rather than some much bigger celebs like Beyoncé Rihanna and so on who despite fame stay relatable humble and grateful to their fans . Unfollow.
I have a love hate relationship with Lydia. I enjoy her vlogs and luxury content, I have no issue with a person wanting to splurge and treat themselves to luxury items. It’s a lifestyle that she wants and can afford, that’s great. What I don’t really like about Lydia is her character, she comes across as fake humble/modest but truly believes she’s perfect. It’s annoying.
I have been watching Lydia from Canada for a long time. I do think she is beautiful and is definitely talented. She just doesn’t relate to the average woman. Most of us just can’t jump in our Range Rover down to Harrods for some bits and bobs. She is spending a Fortune decorating her home with seasonal dried flowers that look like they should hit the compost. That being said her clothing is exquisite. Not to mention her handbags. She is gorgeous and clearly thrives in beautiful surroundings. At times she comes across too stuck up and posh. Her professionally edit videos are lovely but not reality.
@AFL Rookie was this a deliberate misinterpretation just to make a completely irrelevant point? Or was this just for attention? Like what's the end goal here with being so obtuse?
I'll be very surprised if she doesn't aggressively come for you. I used to love her videos, but something about her new content rings false and I find myself reluctant to take the time to watch them
I don’t understand her platform anymore. The whole country house/gardening life seems a bit too forced. She definitely changes her demeanor and style depending which friend she’s hanging with. She’s an attractive girl, but definitely not authentic.
I'm afraid the biggest issue is her insecurity. It seems like she jumps from one hobby to another in a matter of months, wastes lots of money on it and then never actually pursue it. It's sad because she's probably very insecure and this is an act of compensation.
I subscribed to Lydia because of the video Hadassah Cordoba made about her. Right from the start, when she bullyied Haddassah to delete it, made me feel weird. But I enjoyed the content and though: why not give a second chance? Everybody deserves second chances. Well... She can curate her image all she wants, but the cracks are there for anyone to see. How she manipulated the situation with the hairdresser in her video, that if you watch it, you will think she was in a situation that she could be the victim of some sorth of violence, it's honestly disgusting. And we can see how brands are starting to jump ship. All the PRs and brand events/trips: gone. While her friends are thriving and geting all of it. How her "pickness" about how she only works with brands that she LOOOVES has come down to: gummy hair vitamins, teeth whitening strips and kitchen bowls. For example, the picture for the bowl campaing was her pretending to eat tomatoes. Beatiful picture. But her followers know she does not eat them. Or how she is now showing a mini kelly in all of her vlogs but never made an unboxing. But did the unboxing of the little scarf (i forgot the name). Like... we know that there is something fishy. You just need to watch and pay attention. And that is what audiences do. If I were a FAN I would be insulted, to be honest. To be treated as so d*mb. The constant lying and pretending. How she is uncapable of receiveing any kind of criticism. To such a point that i am super duper curious to see how she will react to this video.
That Hermes bag from what you said sounds like a red flag. I haven’t kept up with her videos....but if she hasn't been purchasing the required amount in order to obtain a mini Kelly and to add didn't unbox it....most likely a fake. I've said to people idc if you buy fakes, just don't pretend it's the real thing. I would normally say some people aren't interested to unbox items and show the whole world - but for someone like her it's odd.
@@virginiafernandes336 I think another of her "Hermes Birkin" is fake. Checked her instagram and you can't see the brand logo on the bag.....if we're right then it would be embarrassing for her
I couldn’t handle the non stop renovations. Maybe because she made me believe that I was on this journey with her to decorate the home from scratch and then she just easily decided to start redecorating every room. I was fuming … maybe I’m wrong but I just couldn’t handle it.
She feels like a really angry and unhappy person... she is always indirectly mentioning something or other and just never actually seems content with what she has. She was on such an amazing trajectory with her career just before her wedding- now she does sponcon with toothpaste and gummies! She was, at one point, being sent bags for her wedding by Bvlgari and now- nothing but bitterness and resentment.
Lol. She is doing sell out collections with Karen Millen. She is making a fortune. She works with fewer brands as she is more selective now. Oh and she is an ambassador for intimissini
I used to watch every single video of hers and loved the sit-down videos. Now I find the endless renovations and home hauls a bit exhausting. I am simply more choosy with her content now and a lot of people do love homeware content. I do feel badly people are so mean to her online, it's not nice at all. I think if you have that many followers, you can't win. People will praise you for being stylish and chic and then put you down for being materialistic. However, there are a lot of luxury influencers with much more positive feedback. I also think maybe people get confused about authenticity as well because she only promotes affordable brands like H&M and L'oreal because she gets sponsored by them.
She is to over the top for me every video is showing her material things. Haven't watched her for one year and just watch 10 minutes of her video and she is still the same. Watch lisalisad1 videos are more friendly.
Way too much bragging and selling, too. Also, I think if you keep poking the bear with obnoxious behavior, it follows that you start seeing some negative reaction to it.
I am definitely not a fan of Lydia Millen - I only started to follow her a couple of years ago but as an older,more mature person ,I tend to be quite particular about who I subscribe to within the whole plethora of influencers out there on You Tube. It didn’t take me long to feel quite upset and almost angry after every video I watched of Lydia.I found a smugness and snobbery about her demeanour and just couldn’t figure out where the genuine side of her character was hidden and my dislike of her became increasingly intense.She came across as a manic consumer with a very inflated ego and in spite of her increasing luxurious lifestyle,never seemed to feel satisfied or grateful,often appearing to be depressed or droning on about subjects that were trying to draw on the sympathies of her subscribers. The constant revamping of rooms in her home and the feeling that she was jealous of other highly successful influencers leading to ever increasing house makeovers and a ‘copy cat’ change of direction even purchasing the same breed of dog and brand new 4x4 vehicle like them,just underlined the fact that she comes across as very insecure and shallow. I seem to remember she received some criticism over getting Porter,her dachshund, as once she did,she showed little interest in him and treated him like any other expensive accessory she’s purchased - one that she got bored with after the initial excitement wore off.I hope she never has to face the day when,or if,her image and lifestyle ever hit hard times as I honestly think she would crumble.It follows that I unsubscribed from her channel as I’m not seduced by her obvious wealth,beauty,lifestyle or product advertorials.
@@rosycandyhaven josie copies lydia. Lets also not get confused who the far more successful influencer is. Lydia has an entire team for her business. Deals with massive companies and her own clothing line.
my mum has just informed me that she read she met ali through being her personal trainer!. seriously that's like 3 sides to how she met him. Again this is what I mean about Lydia, she makes stuff up to suit her own needs and and when it suits her. She isn't the person on youtube that everyone thinks she is. I've saw way too many stories about her from other people who had first hand ancounters with her.
She’s loved because she’s physically beautiful and seemingly authentic and at the same time her personality is unbearable and she never reaches her full potential as a human being, she’s a forever changing and unstable, unreliable force subject to whims and fancies and never solidifies into a relatable and constant state. I don’t like nor dislike her, she’s okay-I’m not emotionally invested in her-I’ve watched a few what’s in my purse videos, but not subscribed to her channel.
Yes, I enjoyed this video and I follow Lydia. But I follow a lot of Influencers. I enjoy their content and use them to stay up to date with fashion, home decoration, new foods and vacation suggestions. I neither love or hate these people, I do not even know them, but I know how hard it is to be a working woman and I am happy for all of them, and their successes. Not sure why we have to come down on either side, can't we just enjoy the fruits of their labor. They are providing information and they have a right to their privacy. I am not sure I want to see Lydia looking slovenly, just to seem "real" to some people. I wear clean clothes every day and shower and put make up on everyday even when I am staying home. That is not unusual. Of course I do not wear my best clothing when I am washing the toilet or making tomato sauce. I watch Lydia and others to get an idea about outfit combinations and new make up products. That is all. I do enjoy her videos and do not care that she puts in a lot of work into curating them to perfection for us. Shouldn't she be making quality videos, isn't that the goal, making a good product? And in so doing, putting her best foot forward. We all to a certain degree put our best foot forward when we are in public, on a job interview, meeting our in-laws, on a date, talking to clients, or prospects. Why does anyone need to know who I am when I have my sweats on and my feet up watching TV with a bag of popcorn on my lap, relaxing on a Sunday watching football. Who wants to see that?
Agreed. I am watch her videos for style and fashion. She is good at it. I could care less about her personality. CZcams is youtube. Hard to make a judgment but who she is when you watch videos. It's like going to the doctor, you only know the knowledge of the doctor for that moment that you meet them. You don't really know their personailty, but you go to your doctor for their expertise. Lydia seems very knowledgeable about her subject matter of fashion and makeup. Nothing wrong with that.
Thank you! I agree with you. Who cares and why try to assess her? We will never know her on a personal level. She has great taste and that’s why I follow her too! For inspiration and ideas
That’s fine and I agree with most of what you said but this is her job, and like any other person with a ‘real’ job they would be reprimanded for bullying in the workplace. ‘Influencers’ like Lydia also need to be reprimanded or at the very least held accountable for their actions if they want ‘influencing’ to be seen as a real job. Laws really need to be introduced to cover this area more thoroughly and to protect small business owners like the hairdresser mentioned (whether it is true or not)
She always seemed humble and genuine to me so I am surprised that she had drama. I didn’t stick to watching her because she is kind of boring.. She has no personality or at least she doesn’t let any of her personality show on screen. Her content feels kind of hollow..
I feel the levels of “hate” even within this comment section are too excessive.. I do not understand anger towards someone bcs they lost their cat for example 🤷🏽♀️ .. I feel like if someone is not ur cup of tea .. ie u prefer minimalism to “excessiveness” just unsubscribe & leave them be … As per Lydia’s recent video .. why on earth does she need to apologise for who she is ?? I quite enjoy the all round content in her videos .. & I feel she comes over quite well 🙂
Ever heard “Once you see it, you can never unsee it” that’s me with Lydia’s fake personality. I unsubscribed years ago and it’s not surprising she’s grown because she portrays a perfect life but boy… once I scratched the surface I was so turned off. Her fake personality is glarrrrringly transparent the definition of chasing clout and what you see online isn’t real
I agree that popularity, money, fame, successes changed her. It is true there is no way to 100% of the time fool all people on social media in videos, and in time the cracks show and reality seeps out. I do not expect perfection but I do value honesty and authenticity, and this is where she failed in my eyes.
I used to like her but now I’m like meh. She’s lost all credibility with me too and I’ll never buy anything she sells or promotes. She copy’s people all the time and can’t be bothered to give credit and acts like everything she does is her original idea. Or if her friend gets a new car or bag she makes it about her and has to let everyone know she had it first. Instead of dealing with the consequences of her actions and words, she plays the victim and acts like she’s bullied when in fact she’s being held accountable. I think the hairdresser drama is her true nature and the onscreen persona is so fake. People eat it up though so she’ll be fine
Yup..The Defender comes to mind Soho farmhouse Cottswolds.etc .. hmmmm sounds like she needs to be like a certain other influncer couple,its way too noticeable. That turned me off. But on other hand they get the followers and make bank. Im pretty sure u tubers/ vloggers give 2 whoots what we think.
I like her content but there is something in my gut that doesn't sit right. I think she goes full pelt spoilt Princess if things dont go as she expects them too. Her most recent blog she continually accuses her makeup artist of taking one of her products from the last time she had her make up done. You can tell the artist, Alex, is uncomfortable with this being said and tells the audience she didn't but Lydia is so strong that she knows she did and brushes it away. I would hate to work for her. She says she is grateful, she may well be when things go exactly as she wants them to but boy people feel the wrath when she doesn't.
I would've been so offended if my friend accused me of that ON CAMERA. This makeup artist is a professional if I remember well, this little joke could ruin her clients' trust in her. It's so tacky coming from a long-time friend who surprisingly only keeps in touch nowadays when she needs her makeup done.
@@fanni24 exactly!!! When personal and professional integrity is being “joked” about it’s not ok period. And should NEVER be broadcasted to thousands!!! I can’t even imagine making a “joke” like that to anyone! Why would that even be a thought?!
I enjoy Lydia’s content. She and I are not friends and therefore how she behaves naturally does not affect my view of her unless it’s criminal and or discriminatory. Regarding the hairstylist issue, if what was said is true, it would be nice if she reconciled with the hairstylist. Why? Because every time Lydia talks about her hair that is the story that comes to my mind, and I think to myself, darn, that woman was pregnant.
Being pregnant doesn't give you a free pass in life. Just try to be nice to everyone because they are people. If you don't like how someone treats you set boundaries.
It’s a lot to deal with. I would delete them too f I was in their shoes. People are so hateful, because all of us have so many insecurities that we project onto others. Just because you’re in the public eye doesn’t give anyone the right to abuse you. Imagine you were receiving all that hate at your work place, because you decided to show up to work and someone tells you: “Well, you put yourself out there, deal with it” it’s just unrealistic and unkind.
When you accuse your ‘friend’ the makeup artist of taking something that belongs you, whether it’s in jest or not the ‘be kind’ attitude she preaches goes out the window. If it’s a joke then the joke is done at the ‘friends’ expense!!! It’s rude it’s nasty and it’s NOT funny. Do it off camera! And even then if my friend ‘jokingly’ accused me of something like that and laughed at my expense then I would question my friendship with them.
Every time her so called friend who is very sweet does her make up on one of her vlogs, Lydiea acauses her of taking some thing from her!!! Eyeshadow palletts, powders and so on. She does it in a joking way which is not funny at all. I wonder sometimes why doesn't her manager say something to her?!
She comes across as a narcissist to me, I really don’t think she can form long lasting relationships with friends. She comes across as appearing far superior to everyone else. Unless they work for her and are of use to her.
That's called passive aggressive humor. It is aggression and hate expressed under the guise of humor. It's not humor at all. It's a dig at somebody and she does that all the time at her husband. I always think she's on the brink of divorce because I don't know how ALI can take it much longer. He must be a saint
The issue here is these people can’t deal with criticism they become polarised and switch off but at the end of the day it’s about making money and follow trends and copy other vloggers it’s sad really because their daily lives are not their own I wouldn’t like to share my personal life out there, it’s a strange world .
I started watching her in 2016, and then some time after she moved to her countryside home is when I watched her channel less because I noticed her lashing out on videos and in the comments at her viewers who asked legitimate questions or gave her constructive feedback about something she said or featured on her channel. Though she did get plenty of hate comments, somehow those people got lumped in with them too. I finally unsubscribed and would see a video of hers here and there that would pop up on my feed and I just don’t relate to her anymore, mostly because my taste has changed and I’m not into the overconsumption lifestyle on social media anymore. I did see the video her hairdresser posted and I’m appalled at Lydia’s behavior if true.
Life in the public eye is brutal! Definitely seems like a roller-coaster ride and not for the thin skinned! Lydia is human just like the rest of us and as humans we have ever changing moods, likes dislikes our looks etc. Who out there hasn't had a bad day and popped off to someone and later regretted it?
I think when you’ve watched hours of footage over several years, however edited it is, you still get the feel for someone’s personality. And that’s Lydia’s problem; she comes across as an awful, vain, entitled, spoilt madam with few redeeming qualities. Everyone has a bad day or the odd disagreement with others but what most of us seem to have cottoned on to is that she’s not a very nice person ALL THE TIME! 👸
In the age of camera phones and social media you can’t have an “off day”(unless you are a superstar), as you put it. Even ordinary people out on the town have to be careful not to embarrass themselves as it can affect their jobs if it’s posted online. In the past people could have an off day and that was it. Now you have people scrolling through your social media for dodgy posts and people just waiting to post it on social media so you can be “cancelled”. A well known person needs to keep a watch on voicing any opinion that goes against the current political narrative.. Why anyone would want fame in the social media age is beyond me!
Well, this is not the same thing because unlike most CZcamsrs, she actually deletes comments she is too thin skinned to handle which shows her inability to accept constructive criticism and is an immature move. I actually respect and support those CZcamsrs who don't take comments that seriously and try to make others feel welcome to engage with their vlog.
@@skywalker6648CZcams allows creators to moderate their comments…and for good reason. That’s doesn’t mean she’s thin skinned, that means she’s utilizing the tools CZcams offers. Furthermore, you don’t take constructive criticism from people who haven’t constructed anything. Not all criticism is sound, helpful criticism…and sometimes your opinion simply does not matter to people. You have to learn to cope with that.
You have gorgeous big eyes, girl. I watched Lydia a few times, but sensed that she has issues. I saw a video where she and Ali went on vacation with another influencer couple, and the other girl’s video was so much better, more focused on a good experience for her subscribers. If she is involved in four controversies, she is the common denominator. She is obviously pretty and a hard worker, and those two things have brought her success, which needs to be applauded, but I prefer to follow influencers who have more talent at producing vlogs, and genuine happiness.
You know...just as we all put on our personality differently from time to time, why can't she? We protect our privacy, why can't she? What value does judging or hating add? If you don't care for Lydia...the solution is quite simple: don't watch!!!!
I think if you look for the bad in anybody you are going to find it. In my opinion, when I follow an influencer it is because I like the content that they are providing. The information on products, and other valuable content. The personalities or who they are in real life is not important. That is unless the person I am following is a pedophile or or something horrid. If I were looking for an influencer for the sake of self improving my personal weaknesses for example, who they are in real life would be much more important. That’s how I feel about it…
I made a series of videos including my thoughts about the whole situation with the hair stylist. I was such a huge fan that I made videos copying her style, but what she did to that poor lady was enough for me. I wasn’t concerned about the other reasons that others gave, like her fast fashion consumerism, I could deal with all that, but bullying a heavily pregnant woman was a giant deal breaker for me.
@@danieltene4184 I’m assuming from your handle name that you identify as male, which would explain why you don’t care about the lives of a heavily pregnant woman and her baby life and care more about fried hair. Try some breathing exercises, I hear you can get Carrie to help you with your hyperventilating.
Yes she is pregnant she is not sick don’t play the pregnant card doesn’t apply here if you are not capable to do your job so don’t do it wait until the baby is born and then take clients again and fried hair that is one of her income sources
@@danieltene4184 tell me you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling me you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s obvious you haven’t done your homework. If you did, you’d know that she didn’t want to do Lydia’s hair for that exact reason, but Lydia was uncaring and insistent that she do her hair NOW. Lydia was unwilling to wait which is why this whole thing happened. Do your due diligence before yelling at everyone so you don’t look like the fool that we all see you to be.
I started following Lydia a while before her engagement, and I stopped watching her videos soon after she moved into her current home. I remember having such a love/hate relationship with her videos, I was so confused as to why I felt that way, and so ultimately unsubscribed. It was only years later that I found a couple of comments/videos describing the exact way I felt when I unsubscribed. and it was only then that I realized I wasn't the only one feeling that way
Same. I first enjoyed her videos a lot and then it start to become too much. Everything was a sponsor without her acknowledging it. I started to feel like I was watching a sales commercial. Beautiful videos and very well edited but it just seem to become too much. Especially the constant renovations.
Omg same! Thought just me felt that way, I like her a lot more when she was in her old house. I didn’t know why I felt that way , glad it wasn’t only me
This is so odd, because I could never really express to why exactly I left. You basically said it all. I still do not know why I felt that way, but once she moved I left.
I have 're subbed- I made comments only to delete them- I love her wearing jumpers she looks very decent looking covered. She worked hard so deserves the best. She is motivating me.
I used to be such a big fan, I bought her glo kit but the way she dealt with the backlash felt so out of touch. Then I did some digging and found out about the hairdresser situation, then as awful as it sounds I finally realised it kind of made sense that she struggled to keep friends. Her and Carrie’s dynamic feels laboured too.
Carrie is basically working for her now full time which is not really healthy in a friendship. I mean it's great if people work together but it seems to me Carrie is working away in the basement, editing her videos while she's playing with makeup for hours upstairs. I hope they're fine and wish them well but it could be very uncomfortable for Carrie to quit because Lydia could take it as a personal offense.
What's wrong with Carrie and Lydia being friends. They work together and get along. Looks like Carrie does pretty well too. Thing about Lydia is she is going to have jealousy issues from others constantly and that will make it very hard to establish friendships. Lydia seems to truly care about Carrie and they both work pretty darn hard.
@@leylasharro2300 hairdresser messed up her hair and she had a menty b, ngl I commented this a year ago and now my outlook is a lot less judgmental. Maybe she was just having a particularly bad day !
I unfollowed her after the hairdresser debacle. I completely believe LE is a mean girl. I was more disappointed to find out LE roped her pal Amelia Liana into bullying with her. They are mean girls.
Thank you for the unbiased critique. I myself have watched her for years but I find now I have nothing in common with her, she is very high end now on all of her items. Preferred her in her little house. She seems to look down on us all now.
Years ago, she was the first "influencer" I ever saw on CZcams. I loved her at first and it took a few months, but I started to see how incredibly ARROGANT she is and I dumped her. She's so pompous and conceited that I couldn't watch her anymore.
i agree i too loved her at first now she is a narcissist and copies Josie aka “Fashion Mumblr” who is another CZcams influencer moved from London to the Cotswolds very humble young lady, now they are friends? i’d would watch my back if i were Josie.
The truth of the matter is successful people are almost always sociopaths. She is probably no exception. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's what makes people thrive in their business
I’m glad you’re doing this video because I used to watch her channel but there’s just some thing about her that bugs me. I don’t know what it is and I’ve been a hairdresser for 35 years so I have been around many different people. Maybe it’s really all about me and not her.
Nope your instinct is right I had this when I meet two narcissist and she shows the same behaviour scares me as they are good at misleading I recommend people watch a channel called Narc Con
She's a narcissistic bully!. For me it was her unbelievable comment regarding the missing cat lynx. The cat that was supposedly shot by a neighbouring farmer. (She heard the gunshot during the night you know) and on a walk she saw a mound of ashes (the said cats ashes) 1. Would you not report this? 2. If you have a gun toting neighbour why are you going for walks with your dog, and still letting your other cat roam everywhere She delusional!!!
I used to follow her for years and have unfollowed her for the last 2 roughly .. you can see the change in character and too much drama. The hairstylist situation was horrendous !
“Who is Lydia?” you ask?? “A beautiful, elegant woman or a dramatic, angry and upset woman behind the scenes?” Ummm, how about BOTH? Honestly, this myth that is perpetuated that people/celebrities must ALWAYS be and behave perfectly otherwise they are ‘fake’ or ‘spoiled’ or cancelled?? It confounds me!! We ALL lose our shit once in a while. Especially if we are stressed, hurt or hormonal! And if most women are truly honest, when it comes to appearance, we are most particular about our hair. Did she behave badly? If it all went down as described, sure! But the comments here of self righteous people so quick to unfollow or judge her as evil because she had a meltdown is what I find more repugnant. Why? Because if most women are honest about who they are , they will know that they have had meltdowns or tantrums or experiences where perhaps they overreacted or lashed out at people…and are grateful that they are ‘nobodies’ enough that it was not broadcast for everyone else to judge. 🙄
I think the argument is more genuine and complex or two-faced and half-fake? LIke NPD symptoms English culture does not verbally abuse pregnant women, it can kill the baby. I'm not clucking over other women but I still walk behind prego women on the stairs in case they fall, so I can catch them.. She should've also offered to carry heavy things up the stairs for her, even if refused. Or get husband to do it. There's no excuse for that cruelty altogether and the woman could've reported her actually. I heard maybe Lydia can't have kids so just hated the woman for being pregnant, but invited her to her house anyway as a hair emergency, which would make sense but still be a hate crime. There's no excuse for tantrums from grown adults. Maybe she needs therapy but there's no excuse for abuse. The vengefulness of being Regina George and trying to get friends to cancel on the hairdresser is also wrathful and ugly.
@@seabreeze4559 wow. Speculating about something as private and emotive as a woman’s fertility amd then surmising that the woman “hates” another for being pregnant is deplorable. Be better! I wasn’t there. Neither were you. Therefore, my comment was far more general than the (speculative) specifics here. My comment was based around the notion that women, particularly those in the limelight, MUST be without reproach at all times. That if they have a rare meltdown, or buckle under pressure or lash out - then they must be ‘fake’ or ‘two faced’ or ‘evil’ when in actual fact they are no more or less than human, same as the rest of us.
@@goldamurr2148 she makes her private life public, I know the law. That's the rumour about WHY she randomly spat bullets at a heavily pregnant woman. Nice way to gloss over verbal abuse, placing a helpless mother and baby at risk! If you want to live in a personality cult go ahead. It's common for certain mental disorders to tie into hormonal problems that can cause infertility and that is part of the reason I hope she seeks treatment. She is not innocent and I used to watch her and like her before the attention-seeking over the hairdresser. The careful wording made it sound like she was sexually assaulted by a man, she deserves to lose face after that. I was low.
Lydia is a very beautiful woman but also a narcissist, at least that's what I perceive ... she surrounds herself with a life that only APPEARS ... so I follow her only for aesthetic taste and not as a person
I used to watch Lydia but tbh her smugness really got to me I just don't think she'd natural and I was an avid Josie fan til I saw her hanging out with Lydia all the time makes me question her integrity too!! Birds of a feather!!! 🙄
Her incessant, excessive, gross consumerism is too much for me. I think it's pretty safe to say that she's trying to fill some void inside of her with her constant shopping. I wasn't ever subscribed to her and the occasional video that I did watch turned me off. The price point of her cheap Glo tat was utterly ridiculous. Ranked up there with Zoella's advent calendar.
I unsubscribed as I didn't agree with some revealing clothes she wore and made comments on her videos- only to DELETE them. If I look deep down within myself - why was I even being bothered. not about her those comments were about me. I'm watching many of her videos- learning so much- she worked hard- she is polished- home is clean. I don't agree with consuming too many clothes ( been decluttering for a long time) She has motivated me not to be lazy.
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook no she was specifically Talking about how she wanted more money, and didn't think the material things she had were enough because other people have more. Can't stand her
I am not looking for a perfect person .I am watching her style and it is impeccable . Stop looking for perfect on you tube ! Love Lydias sense of taste and style in just about everything . The rest is her business not mine . It's not a popularity contest . It is a business and she does know her business. Thank you for the info . Cheers from Canada
As you said "you fall in love without knowing a person" means you are the only want responsible for your feelings... influencers just do a job... selling and I don't fall in love for the drugstore lady, don't love influencers and I relate to people I actually know and care, the rest is just commercial channels.
In the beginning of her channel I found her more relatable, now not so much. I know people grow in different directions all the time, but I found her constant redo of her home and un-packaging free items to be boring. She seems to convey that she's more entitled to things they give her, and really it seems that she run out of things to talk about and do so she does the before mentioned. I unsubscribed to her a few months back for two reasons, she bullying her former hairdresser and her constant need to change her home.
Did you watch the video? It wasn’t hateful in any way, in fact it was meant. Praise Lydia and talk in a factual matter some of the more controversies that have surrounded her and her content.
I was one of her subscribers but i left long ago, she started to waste a lot of money on her house on middle of pandemic when most of people didnt even have money for next week is insensitive, the way that she goes from one new purchase to other tossing boxes with no appreciation of what she is receiving , got so much superficial and even her style has changed,it is no longer appealing I prefer Tamara now , she is more humble !!!
Girl same! I remember one of her videos at the start of the pandemic was titled "EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED" which i thought was so insensitive. Unlike millions of others who lost their jobs, livelihoods, careers... She still worked from home, she still had a roof over her head, still had her husband, money still rolling in... nothing really changed for her.
I stopped liking Lydia after they purchased their 2nd house. She constantly redoing the house, to the point where she’s now copying some of the things that (Fashion Mumbl) Jose is doing. I could go on and on about this woman
they either met each other in buisness school (from lydias mouth) or online ! this is people's problem with Lydia, she tells one story then changes it to suit herself. She lies
i liked her a few years back but found her to become a bit repetitive and boring with her content. it felt like it was always explaining her new luxury items (which is fine) but lacked any real substance/personality that she used to have.
i liked her when they lived in the small house. i guess it was also part of being able to relate, even tho she had luxury that i couldnt afford. more so i feel like her current content is very repetetive like you said, and i havent watched her videos in like 6 months now, and think that it might be time to unsubscribe bc clearly im not gravitating for it
For me its not a personality contest ! Im strictly in it for her sense of style and it is impeccable . She is lovely and she knows her business well. As for "who is Lydia?" I trust Ali to know the answer to that . I hope Lydia will continue her youtube channel for many years to come and I will be watching and supporting it . PS I am 72 so you dont fool this old dog very easily . Well done Lydia . BRAVO from Canada .
When I started my blog Lydia was the person that actually helped me a couple of years ago, she shared the different gear she used and was very open and honest.
I've actually met her this year 2023 and she was very rude. I was a guest somewhere that she was also a guest and she literally asked me who I was and why was I bothering her. I was only trying to get into my seat which she was blocking. She's very lucky that I was in a good mood so all she got was a low kiss my ass and now move. She did and I sat.
You're wrong about people being jealous. Have a look at her friends or lack of....how many influencer friends has she lost. No one seems to want to associate with her except for josie fashionmblr. Look at the track record, Clare, Inthefrow, Amelia etc And then her Supposed 1 million instagram followers. You only had to look at the followers to realise the majority were bots. Yes she was contacted by instagram and said she was hacked. Sorry never met hackers who actually want to give you subscribers!
i agree. i couldn’t believe it when i saw she & Josie ( fashionmblr) went on holiday twice! Josie is a sweetheart warm and true genuine vlogger, also i noticed lydia is competing with Josie their blogs content are so similar but of course Lydia always has to go the xtra mile with hers bc of her narcissist ways. 🙄
We all know that all influencers are only selling us what they want us to see , its not real life , last week Lydia did some cleaning in a very expensive designer blouse without calling her team over to do it or carrie the girl who does the running round after her . Of course we realise that off camera she's in an old jogging suit like us ! Influencers aren't stars or talented .I think Lydia has some deep rooted problems and cant stand for anything to be less than perfect which isnt life and cant help but think if she has children it would bring her down to earth more . Her lovely sausage dog is what I watch her channel for and I think its helped her realise animals are more important than designer handbags ! Her content also has some nice country vibes which is enjoyable .I know she gets a lot of freebies but the level of items she buys on a daily basis is quiet shocking and can put out discontentment to have the latest designer this and that , well we dont need or want them cluttering up the place ! I am always hoping Lydia will relax more as she ages and I think more people would warm to her .
Jealousy.......it's ugly. Lydia is a winner. A very hard working rising star. Earned every bit of success she has along with the help of a great husband. Those two and her best friend Carrie are thriving in life. Everyone should just stop being so petty and focus on one's own life ambitions.....and if you don't have any, get a life!
When lydia verbally bullied the heavly pregnant young lady hairdresser' and then phoned her assistant Carrie to come and join in with the intimidation of a kind hard working woman, that has nothing to do with jealously, it's bullying.
She was much better years ago, I used to watch her for Lummy as reminded me of my lost cat, now she talks funny, or annoying. She is good in what she does, but she lost her sparkle. she is cold almost robotic. She's narcissistic way too much, she should humble herself, do not pretend to be a posh country girl, she is from Watford after all. I do not dislike her at all but I feel sorry for her too much materialist one day all this will finish and then? I hope she finds a balance and peace..i wish her the best . I hope Josie does not wrap as well she is more natural posh than her.
Lydia, is a very talented and very creative. The hard work and time that she puts into her job shows. Lydia is enthusiastic and So beautiful. For yhose of you who keep commenting, negatively on her appearance, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. It is no one’s business. So, why can you fools just stop watching her videos, and go read a tabloid, if it is gossip that you want.Lydia has such interesting and fun content, and all of the bullies sit back, have pushed passed the point of idolizing, to the self destructive behaviour of trying to find fault in her appearance because of your jealousy. Your comments are harmful and damaging, that is your goal, right?
There are young mums out there working on average three jobs at a time and yet an influencers life is so hard. Come on, yes they work hard but so do other women. Why arnt we lifting up these young mums ( one example ) as power house women and only focusing on what is thought to be successful ie money, homes etc?
its more about people belittling influencers job as if it isnt even a job. no one is saying that they would work harder than someone who works three different jobs. its also very different to work in physical jobs than in an office kind of a job, and both can be very hard in different ways. if people wouldnt go out of their way to complain that being an influencer isnt a proper job then people wouldnt feel the need to defend their job, every single influencer has been belittled bc of their choice of career/job. maybe you need to widen your sources bc i see in my country also regular women being lifted up, but at the same time, its quite hard to do when not everyone wants to be online and on the show, like you are with influencing, hence it can also be focused on that. a young mum struggling to get by isnt necessarily someone who wants to be put on front page, its not always easy to find those people you want to highlight, in many different areas.
@@mann7298 a very intelligent comment. One I can agree with mostly. I’m not slating the influencer culture. I think it was born out of need. People want to know how good a cream is etc before trying it, or a place to stay. Now that’s not to say that every influencer will tell the truth about a product because they won’t but all in all people are happy with what they do and trust them to a certain extent, it shows in their views. Too many times have I heard how hard they have it and that they are not taken seriously and yes they are allowed to complain the same as the rest of us about how tired they get but there are harder more stressful jobs that women are doing. They may not want to be front page of the newspaper but we do need to recognise in this world of social media that there are women working harder who never get a ‘like’ or a Pat on the back. I’m still going to admire the young mum with three jobs. Take care
@@headron66 sure, i dont think any of us forget that there are jobs where hard work really goes into it, and it doesnt get the same kind of attention. during the pandemic the healthcare workers definitely have been highlighted in a way they havent before, which is great. it is sad that it doesnt happen more often without these kind of things happening for them to get the attenion they deserve. i think its the combination of social media ofc, but also we have a culture of competing, jealousy and expectations to succeed, and especially women going against women. i think there needs to be work towards uplifting and supporting women, no matter their profession. maybe that way everyone could get their own praise, and admiration for their hard work. its kind of how we often leave feedback when we get bad service, but when its good we rarely give feedback as eagerly. we should work on that in general, something thats been said for years but still goes.
Because if you ever experienced real bullying or a narcissistic abuse you would know what this Lydia is , she’s definitely not someone you should be admiring but that’s your choice , I’m no expert BuT I’m still recovering 3years on from narcissist abuse and Lydia has all the traits , they are very good at creating flying monkeys and deception you just won’t see it but you know it when you have experienced it .narcissist behaviour is one of the hardest to prove to the innocent eye , and they will gas light you if you try to prove it . Worst part is it comes from child hood trauma and they don’t even know they have the behaviour it’s very dangerous and sad .
I came across her videos a few years ago because I love designer handbags. Before I buy an expensive bag I do research on it first. So that’s how CZcams introduced her to me. She’s very pretty and has great style not to mention great handbag collection. However, she’s just boring to me. Honestly, I don’t know what it is, I just find her videos boring. 🤷🏾♀️
I too came across her when doing my bag research. Besides mentioning her favourite makeup brand which has no shade for me, there was an event where fans of hers can come and ask questions… There was only one chocolate girl, just one. That‘s basically how I felt. And when she launched her clothing line, that was it for me.
Yeah, even when I tried to force myself to look past her personality to watch, it's just sooo boring. I had to stop altogether when I would end up getting really sleepy and couldn't make it past first five minutes. Also, her titles never match what her videos are about at all.
How do you know all this? You cannot really suppose your research upon her life leads to the assumption that you can actually know what she had in mind at a certain age or time.
She brought in those black painters during BLM time and suddenly we haven’t seen them any longer even though she has changed paint colors numerous times since. I asked her months ago about what black businesses she’s been supporting and not a single response despite being a top comment. She conveniently ignored it. She’s an opportunist!!
@@chaank1069 if you use the colour of your skin to sell your products, then you are telling me your products are rubbish. I will buy your products if they are a good price, good quality and good customer service, I don't give a sheet what colour you are. Maybe Ken is busy as he's so good or doesn't want to be on camera anymore. Stop with the rascist card it's boring.
Ever since I stumbled on her videos a couple of years back she never sit well with me🤔I keep watching hoping to find what all the fawners see in her........
Lydia is a human with good and bad like all of us! We are not stupid to thing she is perfect:)) nobody is perfect! I do not pursue her for perfection, but for ambition and inspiration and because she has ups and downs like all of us. I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for a person who has exceeded his condition and who aspires to me too. The fact that so many people talk about her, even if negatively, says that she succeeded. Congratulation Lydia!
Mic Oh my word...your second to last sentence. "The fact that so many people talk about her, even if negatively, says that she succeeded" is a completely flawed sentiment. Plenty of people talk about Hitler. Does that mean he succeeded? I don't love Lydia, nor do I hate her, but this comment just slapped me across the face as being one of the stupidest things that I've ever read.
I LOVE her Vlogs and Lydia & Ali. The diversification of her channel is excellent and interesting. Growing up as an individual on line must be horrid as people can be so cruel. I feel if you are uncomfortable with her don't watch her. I for one enjoy that she is human and that she try's her hardest at every level.
Neutral about Lydia. Who is she: a combination of what you see on camera and what you don't. When vlogging she's putting her best foot forward. Lydia is no different than any other successful content creator who wants to move product and engage with her audience so that her advertisers get their ROI.
She was stunning with darker hair. People who dont like themselves, will try to down others. I wish her well, we all deserve the best life has to offer.
I love Lydia's content and enjoy her vlogs. I think we need to spend more time focusing on the positive aspects of other people, as well as within ourselves! I have decided to focus on what I love versus what I don't and I am much happier because of it. I wish all YT the best as I would myself. Cheers
That said, we should not "cancel" or condemn those that share a different view than others about someone or something. That just spreads more negativity.
So between Josie and Lydia, who is copying who? I'm appalled by the huge similarities of their social media contents. Country life, gardening, same dogs, same cars etc.
I recently found both Lydia and Josie's channels on separate occassions, and while watching said, "these women are living the exact same life". I rather ennjoy watching both of them, giving us a glimpse into the life of luxury. However, it does seem difficult to maintain a high lifestyle and perfect image all of the time, which they seem to do quite well.
Thank you so much for such an interesting video. I’m a Lydia’s follower since less than a year and I really love her. Her videos have a great quality and, to me, she is so natural and charm. I can imagine she is no 100% same as in her private life, but I presume no one is when creating videos in social media. Hugs and kisses from Madrid (Spain) 🥰😘❤️
I may be mistaken about the Zimmerman dress but it was a designer white frothy dress, if she could just be more realistic it would convert to the screen, some of the things that Lydia must have from designer everything dish washing liquid to her beloved dogs collar and blanket, designer designer all the way, such a cliche.
To be clear, Lydia is not as "self-made" success story as you seem to imply and cleverly left out how her family is well off, so she could afford to invest in getting her blog off the ground with no other pressing problems to worry about. Also, I noticed you left out all the Ibiza stuff where Lydia admits herself was a bad time in her life.
I watched her for a couple years before unsubscribing. I started to feel she was not authentic. (Click bate that she was called out for in comments but the click bate continues.) There were a lot of coincidences where she was copying other influencers, her dogs, her garden, her hot house and finally a clearly paid for video about how rich she was and highlighted her riding horses, which I had never seen in her videos. (Again mimicking an influencer who was a recognized, accomplished, competitive horse woman on a legitimate horse circuit.) I’m not interested in drama, personally or in others and have never dug for or followed up on hints of drama but I started to see a pattern of victim hood in Lydia. This may seem petty but she is no where near as articulate as other influencers and her reaction to things and situations are shallow.

Thank you for watching! 💗
If you felt anxious watching this, because of the speed at which she speaks, slow it down to .75 and it’s much better 👍🏽
Why would you feel anxious watching this?
@@cornellcornell1 because it comes across as utterly manic!
@@MissVictoryRolls1940 not at all. She’s speaking at a normal pace.
She speaks really fast and is annoying
I did the same, she has a nice voice just a bit fast 💕
I used to watch too many of these luxurious CZcamsrs, showing expensive high end goods and travelling the world in luxury, I wanted to buy my first luxury bag too bad even though it was the last thing I needed… I stopped watching most of them and basically unsubscribed to others. Guess what I leaned owning a luxury bag isn’t going to make me happy, wearing brand new outfits every month isn’t my number one concern anymore, I started to appreciate my modest life and stopped caring about how expensive I look. Those vloggers really do turn us into big consumers, wasting our hard earned money on some unimportant stuff instead of focusing on priorities. Anyway each their own I just explained how I feel
Thank you for Your comment, I fully agree with You ♥️
The 3-D Matrix world is about consumerism , filled with distractions buy buy buy, waste our TIME buying, going out late night wasting time n getting drunk- So humans don't experience the next level of consciousness. Because the ones that do are much happier- they don't have to work 9-5 jobs. They r living out of the MATRIX system.
Too much sugary foods n fizzy/ sweeteners cause memory loss including lack of enough sleep.
I have come to the same conclusion, thank you for commenting 😊
All of a sudden Lydia is into English countryside living and gardening just like her counterparts. Unoriginal. Doing it for the views.
When I first saw her videos to me I thought this lady is nice and then I loved her proposal videos later unsubscribed because I was going through a decluttering in my life which helped me loads and I rediscovered myself.i commented which I later deleted , after rediscovering her channel I liked who she has become. She worked hard with those 3 jobs- different from my life. But she made me realise about some things in my life which I should do- she inspires me and motivates me.
NO I didn't go shopping because of her videos- I don't buy some things as I get them FREE but have to decline presents because I have so much it began to be a burden, i found JOY in giving away n feeling better.
Let’s be honest, most people on social media only show what they want people want to see (influencer or not) Does that mean that everyone is bad no, it just means we need to remember that social media doesn’t show everything. I think people need to stop putting influencers on a pedal stall. They are human just like everyone else
She acts completely different in Ali's videos. She is rougher and meaner
So was Annie Jaffrey until I commented on it on Instagram. Now she makes a fake effort.
@@evac.7762 yes I noticed the same about Annie towards Mo. Not as much as Lydia though. Felt she was kinda embarrassed about him since he didn’t speak English like a native would. It improved a bit in the later videos.
She's always on her phone or not really as smiley as she is in her own videos. It's a bit odd but maybe she's still kind and lovely when the cameras are not recording.
also there were a few times ali left in clips of them fighting.
I really liked her back in the day, I sometimes go back and watch the engagement video as it's one of my faves! But something changed...I hardly recognise her at all now, she comes off manic and narcissistic like she's lost herself. I wonder how long she has left in the industry, seems everything she's advertising is entry-level stuff (hair gummies, laundry detergent), I mean there are influencers with a 1/5 of the following who were invited to fashion week, doing luxury beauty campaigns just to name a few, it's sad.
Agree
How do u know she wasnt invited but refused to go to fashion week? 🙄 u know it’s not for everyone, the environment can be very toxic
@@fanni24 Bots galore!
@@alinapaun1360 does lydia look like the type of person who would turn down an invite? especially to FW? she is desperate for some reason to be seen as this posh, old money person. trying to buy a manor in the cotswolds! walking in the mud with her stiff, just bought hermes jumping boots and burberry parka! having a faux consultation over the phone with a famous gardener from the chelsea flower show! she burnt bridges in the fashion community thinking that weird house she bought and her goofy looking husband would secure the bag and the brands would be rolling in. it never happened, and now she’s desperately trying to reclaw her way back into the same circles with no success (ie, hobnobbing with amelia liana who is currently in the midst of a quarter life crisis). her constant, manic renovating of her house was really offputting and it coincided with her abusing ali, whom she later admitted was seconds away from divorcing her.
@@watermelon520b oh wow I did not know that. Honestly her uncut vlogs got so long I skip 90% of the content and must have missed much. Did she talked about Ali having an issue with their relationship?
I loved the Lydia in that little house in Milton Keynes.... but I lost connection to her and her content as soon as she moved into that big house. I felt like everything changed. It wasn't cosy anymore, it wasn't relatable anymore... I really miss those old days.
totally my thought !!!!!
same here....it just feels like WE sponsored the big house...to me they show wayyy too much !
just curious, as I don't really know much about the english countryside, is her new home near Milton Keynes?
Same here, same as with Estee Lalonde just became super unrelatable entitled and narcissistic in their videos rather than some much bigger celebs like Beyoncé Rihanna and so on who despite fame stay relatable humble and grateful to their fans . Unfollow.
@@namratakamdar2012 what do u think of amelia liana?
I have a love hate relationship with Lydia. I enjoy her vlogs and luxury content, I have no issue with a person wanting to splurge and treat themselves to luxury items. It’s a lifestyle that she wants and can afford, that’s great. What I don’t really like about Lydia is her character, she comes across as fake humble/modest but truly believes she’s perfect. It’s annoying.
I have been watching Lydia from Canada for a long time. I do think she is beautiful and is definitely talented.
She just doesn’t relate to the average woman. Most of us just can’t jump in our Range Rover down to Harrods for some bits and bobs. She is spending a Fortune decorating her home with seasonal dried flowers that look like they should hit the compost. That being said her clothing is exquisite. Not to mention her handbags. She is gorgeous and clearly thrives in beautiful surroundings. At times she comes across too stuck up and posh. Her professionally edit videos are lovely but not reality.
@AFL Rookie was this a deliberate misinterpretation just to make a completely irrelevant point? Or was this just for attention?
Like what's the end goal here with being so obtuse?
You sound crazy as hell! You don’t know her!
Sooo on point
Right, that is closer to what the problem is. It's NOT about what she bought or lifestyle she is pushing, etc.
She's not genuine and it's very visible. Loves herself a wee bit too much. I start watching her, then can't make it through the entire video.
This is. I don't have a problem with self love but she's pretentious. Even her Watford accent changed.
I'll be very surprised if she doesn't aggressively come for you. I used to love her videos, but something about her new content rings false and I find myself reluctant to take the time to watch them
I don’t understand her platform anymore. The whole country house/gardening life seems a bit too forced. She definitely changes her demeanor and style depending which friend she’s hanging with. She’s an attractive girl, but definitely not authentic.
I'm afraid the biggest issue is her insecurity. It seems like she jumps from one hobby to another in a matter of months, wastes lots of money on it and then never actually pursue it. It's sad because she's probably very insecure and this is an act of compensation.
@@fanni24 totally. And at this point every vlog is very dull.
Right, everything seems even more deceptive and fake since she moved from the first house.
@@CZA27 That's just another of many reasons I stopped watching too. The videos were so dull, I started falling asleep mid-way through her videos, lol.
Nailed it ! Fake and copy’s anyone that has something she hasn’t went off that Narc behaviour and lashing out at Ally who seems lovely
I subscribed to Lydia because of the video Hadassah Cordoba made about her. Right from the start, when she bullyied Haddassah to delete it, made me feel weird. But I enjoyed the content and though: why not give a second chance? Everybody deserves second chances. Well... She can curate her image all she wants, but the cracks are there for anyone to see.
How she manipulated the situation with the hairdresser in her video, that if you watch it, you will think she was in a situation that she could be the victim of some sorth of violence, it's honestly disgusting.
And we can see how brands are starting to jump ship. All the PRs and brand events/trips: gone. While her friends are thriving and geting all of it. How her "pickness" about how she only works with brands that she LOOOVES has come down to: gummy hair vitamins, teeth whitening strips and kitchen bowls.
For example, the picture for the bowl campaing was her pretending to eat tomatoes. Beatiful picture. But her followers know she does not eat them.
Or how she is now showing a mini kelly in all of her vlogs but never made an unboxing. But did the unboxing of the little scarf (i forgot the name). Like... we know that there is something fishy. You just need to watch and pay attention. And that is what audiences do.
If I were a FAN I would be insulted, to be honest. To be treated as so d*mb. The constant lying and pretending. How she is uncapable of receiveing any kind of criticism. To such a point that i am super duper curious to see how she will react to this video.
That Hermes bag from what you said sounds like a red flag. I haven’t kept up with her videos....but if she hasn't been purchasing the required amount in order to obtain a mini Kelly and to add didn't unbox it....most likely a fake. I've said to people idc if you buy fakes, just don't pretend it's the real thing. I would normally say some people aren't interested to unbox items and show the whole world - but for someone like her it's odd.
@@rochelleastbury3593 today’s video just convinced me even more that the mini kelly is fake
@@virginiafernandes336 I think another of her "Hermes Birkin" is fake. Checked her instagram and you can't see the brand logo on the bag.....if we're right then it would be embarrassing for her
I couldn’t handle the non stop renovations. Maybe because she made me believe that I was on this journey with her to decorate the home from scratch and then she just easily decided to start redecorating every room. I was fuming … maybe I’m wrong but I just couldn’t handle it.
Me toooooo! 😂 don’t know why it triggered me so hart but I unfollowed her because it seemed so pointless to re-do a literally new and perfect room
She's neurotic when it comes to that house.
Do you people know what is going on in the world, covid,wars
& your worried about lydias thoughts,you are all crazy,
OMG ME TOO!! When i heard she wanted to redo the panneling that she has been so ‘happy’ about I lost my sh*t😂
You are wrong. Is not that deep. Is her home and her life
She feels like a really angry and unhappy person... she is always indirectly mentioning something or other and just never actually seems content with what she has. She was on such an amazing trajectory with her career just before her wedding- now she does sponcon with toothpaste and gummies! She was, at one point, being sent bags for her wedding by Bvlgari and now- nothing but bitterness and resentment.
she never shows gratitude for gifts she receives, so unatural unlike the delightful in the frow
youtubers aging out of it will turn sour
@@angelamartin7969 what do u think of amelia liana
Lol. She is doing sell out collections with Karen Millen. She is making a fortune. She works with fewer brands as she is more selective now. Oh and she is an ambassador for intimissini
I loved her channel so much before the engagement. But after that everything went downhill.
And she blamed the people she worked with for the failure of Glo. She didn’t take accountability for it.
I used to watch every single video of hers and loved the sit-down videos. Now I find the endless renovations and home hauls a bit exhausting. I am simply more choosy with her content now and a lot of people do love homeware content. I do feel badly people are so mean to her online, it's not nice at all. I think if you have that many followers, you can't win. People will praise you for being stylish and chic and then put you down for being materialistic. However, there are a lot of luxury influencers with much more positive feedback. I also think maybe people get confused about authenticity as well because she only promotes affordable brands like H&M and L'oreal because she gets sponsored by them.
Oh my gracious... so true! What are we on now, the third or fourth version of her kitchen?
@@LolliPops- is not here fault that she can effort it
She is to over the top for me every video is showing her material things. Haven't watched her for one year and just watch 10 minutes of her video and she is still the same. Watch lisalisad1 videos are more friendly.
Great comment
Way too much bragging and selling, too. Also, I think if you keep poking the bear with obnoxious behavior, it follows that you start seeing some negative reaction to it.
I am definitely not a fan of Lydia Millen - I only started to follow her a couple of years ago but as an older,more mature person ,I tend to be quite particular about who I subscribe to within the whole plethora of influencers out there on You Tube. It didn’t take me long to feel quite upset and almost angry after every video I watched of Lydia.I found a smugness and snobbery about her demeanour and just couldn’t figure out where the genuine side of her character was hidden and my dislike of her became increasingly intense.She came across as a manic consumer with a very inflated ego and in spite of her increasing luxurious lifestyle,never seemed to feel satisfied or grateful,often appearing to be depressed or droning on about subjects that were trying to draw on the sympathies of her subscribers.
The constant revamping of rooms in her home and the feeling that she was jealous of other highly successful influencers leading to ever increasing house makeovers and a ‘copy cat’ change of direction even purchasing the same breed of dog and brand new 4x4 vehicle like them,just underlined the fact that she comes across as very insecure and shallow. I seem to remember she received some criticism over getting Porter,her dachshund, as once she did,she showed little interest in him and treated him like any other expensive accessory she’s purchased - one that she got bored with after the initial excitement wore off.I hope she never has to face the day when,or if,her image and lifestyle ever hit hard times as I honestly think she would crumble.It follows that I unsubscribed from her channel as I’m not seduced by her obvious wealth,beauty,lifestyle or product advertorials.
Did she get a dachshund to copy Josie from Fashion Mumblr?
@@rosycandyhaven josie copies lydia. Lets also not get confused who the far more successful influencer is. Lydia has an entire team for her business. Deals with massive companies and her own clothing line.
Josie is not highly successful as an influencer. She inherited money and bought her house with her Mum.
@@rosycandyhaven josie and her hand out sometimes- what if it was bodies idea for Lydia to get one
@@jacobross4813 Carrie, get off the internet!
I really want to know the story of her and “Claire Chanelle” fallout, I think Lydia told a brand she would be a better fit over Claire 🤷♀️🤔
👀
my mum has just informed me that she read she met ali through being her personal trainer!. seriously that's like 3 sides to how she met him. Again this is what I mean about Lydia, she makes stuff up to suit her own needs and and when it suits her. She isn't the person on youtube that everyone thinks she is. I've saw way too many stories about her from other people who had first hand ancounters with her.
she never thanks her viewers. if it was not for them she would not be where she is know
She’s loved because she’s physically beautiful and seemingly authentic and at the same time her personality is unbearable and she never reaches her full potential as a human being, she’s a forever changing and unstable, unreliable force subject to whims and fancies and never solidifies into a relatable and constant state.
I don’t like nor dislike her, she’s okay-I’m not emotionally invested in her-I’ve watched a few what’s in my purse videos, but not subscribed to her channel.
Lydia, is that you? Lol
Yes, I enjoyed this video and I follow Lydia. But I follow a lot of Influencers. I enjoy their content and use them to stay up to date with fashion, home decoration, new foods and vacation suggestions. I neither love or hate these people, I do not even know them, but I know how hard it is to be a working woman and I am happy for all of them, and their successes. Not sure why we have to come down on either side, can't we just enjoy the fruits of their labor. They are providing information and they have a right to their privacy. I am not sure I want to see Lydia looking slovenly, just to seem "real" to some people. I wear clean clothes every day and shower and put make up on everyday even when I am staying home. That is not unusual. Of course I do not wear my best clothing when I am washing the toilet or making tomato sauce. I watch Lydia and others to get an idea about outfit combinations and new make up products. That is all. I do enjoy her videos and do not care that she puts in a lot of work into curating them to perfection for us. Shouldn't she be making quality videos, isn't that the goal, making a good product? And in so doing, putting her best foot forward. We all to a certain degree put our best foot forward when we are in public, on a job interview, meeting our in-laws, on a date, talking to clients, or prospects. Why does anyone need to know who I am when I have my sweats on and my feet up watching TV with a bag of popcorn on my lap, relaxing on a Sunday watching football. Who wants to see that?
Love this perspective! Thanks for your comment!
Agreed. I am watch her videos for style and fashion. She is good at it. I could care less about her personality. CZcams is youtube. Hard to make a judgment but who she is when you watch videos. It's like going to the doctor, you only know the knowledge of the doctor for that moment that you meet them. You don't really know their personailty, but you go to your doctor for their expertise. Lydia seems very knowledgeable about her subject matter of fashion and makeup. Nothing wrong with that.
Amen🙌
Thank you! I agree with you. Who cares and why try to assess her? We will never know her on a personal level. She has great taste and that’s why I follow her too! For inspiration and ideas
That’s fine and I agree with most of what you said but this is her job, and like any other person with a ‘real’ job they would be reprimanded for bullying in the workplace. ‘Influencers’ like Lydia also need to be reprimanded or at the very least held accountable for their actions if they want ‘influencing’ to be seen as a real job. Laws really need to be introduced to cover this area more thoroughly and to protect small business owners like the hairdresser mentioned (whether it is true or not)
She always seemed humble and genuine to me so I am surprised that she had drama. I didn’t stick to watching her because she is kind of boring.. She has no personality or at least she doesn’t let any of her personality show on screen. Her content feels kind of hollow..
I feel the levels of “hate” even within this comment section are too excessive.. I do not understand anger towards someone bcs they lost their cat for example 🤷🏽♀️ ..
I feel like if someone is not ur cup of tea .. ie u prefer minimalism to “excessiveness” just unsubscribe & leave them be …
As per Lydia’s recent video .. why on earth does she need to apologise for who she is ??
I quite enjoy the all round content in her videos .. & I feel she comes over quite well 🙂
Ever heard “Once you see it, you can never unsee it” that’s me with Lydia’s fake personality. I unsubscribed years ago and it’s not surprising she’s grown because she portrays a perfect life but boy… once I scratched the surface I was so turned off. Her fake personality is glarrrrringly transparent the definition of chasing clout and what you see online isn’t real
You are like me an empath and can see straight thru people. Sadly others are blinded by her fakeness.
Precisely. I cannot stomach anything about her. She's pathological. There is such cruelty underneath the surface.
I agree that popularity, money, fame, successes changed her. It is true there is no way to 100% of the time fool all people on social media in videos, and in time the cracks show and reality seeps out. I do not expect perfection but I do value honesty and authenticity, and this is where she failed in my eyes.
I used to like her but now I’m like meh. She’s lost all credibility with me too and I’ll never buy anything she sells or promotes.
She copy’s people all the time and can’t be bothered to give credit and acts like everything she does is her original idea.
Or if her friend gets a new car or bag she makes it about her and has to let everyone know she had it first.
Instead of dealing with the consequences of her actions and words, she plays the victim and acts like she’s bullied when in fact she’s being held accountable. I think the hairdresser drama is her true nature and the onscreen persona is so fake. People eat it up though so she’ll be fine
Yup..The Defender comes to mind Soho farmhouse Cottswolds.etc .. hmmmm sounds like she needs to be like a certain other influncer couple,its way too noticeable. That turned me off. But on other hand they get the followers and make bank. Im pretty sure u tubers/ vloggers give 2 whoots what we think.
I like her content but there is something in my gut that doesn't sit right. I think she goes full pelt spoilt Princess if things dont go as she expects them too. Her most recent blog she continually accuses her makeup artist of taking one of her products from the last time she had her make up done. You can tell the artist, Alex, is uncomfortable with this being said and tells the audience she didn't but Lydia is so strong that she knows she did and brushes it away. I would hate to work for her. She says she is grateful, she may well be when things go exactly as she wants them to but boy people feel the wrath when she doesn't.
sounds like a womanchild
in men it's called a mantrum
I just watched that.. very shitty “joke” ughh
I would've been so offended if my friend accused me of that ON CAMERA. This makeup artist is a professional if I remember well, this little joke could ruin her clients' trust in her. It's so tacky coming from a long-time friend who surprisingly only keeps in touch nowadays when she needs her makeup done.
@@fanni24 exactly!!! When personal and professional integrity is being “joked” about it’s not ok period. And should NEVER be broadcasted to thousands!!! I can’t even imagine making a “joke” like that to anyone! Why would that even be a thought?!
Anyone who believes what they see of any influencer is the real person should give themselves a shake, they aren’t living real lives.
I enjoy Lydia’s content. She and I are not friends and therefore how she behaves naturally does not affect my view of her unless it’s criminal and or discriminatory. Regarding the hairstylist issue, if what was said is true, it would be nice if she reconciled with the hairstylist. Why? Because every time Lydia talks about her hair that is the story that comes to my mind, and I think to myself, darn, that woman was pregnant.
The hairdresser was ready to give birth and one doesn't do that to a prgeneant woman!!
Don't know the hairdresser story 🙄
@@tracker1009 nor me
She broke up with the lady that fixed her blond hair?
Being pregnant doesn't give you a free pass in life. Just try to be nice to everyone because they are people. If you don't like how someone treats you set boundaries.
I can’t stand how they deleted negative comments
It’s a lot to deal with. I would delete them too f I was in their shoes. People are so hateful, because all of us have so many insecurities that we project onto others. Just because you’re in the public eye doesn’t give anyone the right to abuse you. Imagine you were receiving all that hate at your work place, because you decided to show up to work and someone tells you: “Well, you put yourself out there, deal with it” it’s just unrealistic and unkind.
@@anleeeee5554I also agree with you. People go too far. Is not that deep
When you accuse your ‘friend’ the makeup artist of taking something that belongs you, whether it’s in jest or not the ‘be kind’ attitude she preaches goes out the window. If it’s a joke then the joke is done at the ‘friends’ expense!!! It’s rude it’s nasty and it’s NOT funny. Do it off camera! And even then if my friend ‘jokingly’ accused me of something like that and laughed at my expense then I would question my friendship with them.
Every time her so called friend who is very sweet does her make up on one of her vlogs, Lydiea acauses her of taking some thing from her!!! Eyeshadow palletts, powders and so on. She does it in a joking way which is not funny at all. I wonder sometimes why doesn't her manager say something to her?!
She comes across as a narcissist to me, I really don’t think she can form long lasting relationships with friends. She comes across as appearing far superior to everyone else. Unless they work for her and are of use to her.
That’s passive-aggressive behavior. Calling it a “joke” is gaslighting.
Some people are going through psychosis- being suspicious/ imagining - over thinking/ is big part of it I have been there.
That's called passive aggressive humor. It is aggression and hate expressed under the guise of humor. It's not humor at all. It's a dig at somebody and she does that all the time at her husband. I always think she's on the brink of divorce because I don't know how ALI can take it much longer. He must be a saint
The issue here is these people can’t deal with criticism they become polarised and switch off but at the end of the day it’s about making money and follow trends and copy other vloggers it’s sad really because their daily lives are not their own I wouldn’t like to share my personal life out there, it’s a strange world .
I started watching her in 2016, and then some time after she moved to her countryside home is when I watched her channel less because I noticed her lashing out on videos and in the comments at her viewers who asked legitimate questions or gave her constructive feedback about something she said or featured on her channel. Though she did get plenty of hate comments, somehow those people got lumped in with them too. I finally unsubscribed and would see a video of hers here and there that would pop up on my feed and I just don’t relate to her anymore, mostly because my taste has changed and I’m not into the overconsumption lifestyle on social media anymore. I did see the video her hairdresser posted and I’m appalled at Lydia’s behavior if true.
Can i see the link to her hairdresser?
Life in the public eye is brutal! Definitely seems like a roller-coaster ride and not for the thin skinned! Lydia is human just like the rest of us and as humans we have ever changing moods, likes dislikes our looks etc. Who out there hasn't had a bad day and popped off to someone and later regretted it?
I think when you’ve watched hours of footage over several years, however edited it is, you still get the feel for someone’s personality. And that’s Lydia’s problem; she comes across as an awful, vain, entitled, spoilt madam with few redeeming qualities. Everyone has a bad day or the odd disagreement with others but what most of us seem to have cottoned on to is that she’s not a very nice person ALL THE TIME! 👸
In the age of camera phones and social media you can’t have an “off day”(unless you are a superstar), as you put it. Even ordinary people out on the town have to be careful not to embarrass themselves as it can affect their jobs if it’s posted online. In the past people could have an off day and that was it. Now you have people scrolling through your social media for dodgy posts and people just waiting to post it on social media so you can be “cancelled”. A well known person needs to keep a watch on voicing any opinion that goes against the current political narrative.. Why anyone would want fame in the social media age is beyond me!
Well, this is not the same thing because unlike most CZcamsrs, she actually deletes comments she is too thin skinned to handle which shows her inability to accept constructive criticism and is an immature move. I actually respect and support those CZcamsrs who don't take comments that seriously and try to make others feel welcome to engage with their vlog.
@@skywalker6648CZcams allows creators to moderate their comments…and for good reason. That’s doesn’t mean she’s thin skinned, that means she’s utilizing the tools CZcams offers. Furthermore, you don’t take constructive criticism from people who haven’t constructed anything. Not all criticism is sound, helpful criticism…and sometimes your opinion simply does not matter to people. You have to learn to cope with that.
You have gorgeous big eyes, girl. I watched Lydia a few times, but sensed that she has issues. I saw a video where she and Ali went on vacation with another influencer couple, and the other girl’s video was so much better, more focused on a good experience for her subscribers. If she is involved in four controversies, she is the common denominator. She is obviously pretty and a hard worker, and those two things have brought her success, which needs to be applauded, but I prefer to follow influencers who have more talent at producing vlogs, and genuine happiness.
Thanks Merry for the compliment and thanks for sharing your insight!
The tanning kit was sold to the beauty outlet, i used to work there. Her brand was disolved because she failed with them
You know...just as we all put on our personality differently from time to time, why can't she? We protect our privacy, why can't she? What value does judging or hating add? If you don't care for Lydia...the solution is quite simple: don't watch!!!!
It would be interesting to find out what happened with the friendship between Victoria,Lydia and Tamara and if they are still friends.
This is sped up right? Please say yes
Ahhhhh my thoughts exactly, it sparked my anxiety up 😫
It definitely is, it becomes very clear when you hear Lydia talking if you're used to the way she speaks.
I slowed it down to .75 it was way better. I was getting anxiety watching.
I speak twice her speed. It's correlated to IQ.
@@seabreeze4559 of course it is….
I think if you look for the bad in anybody you are going to find it. In my opinion, when I follow an influencer it is because I like the content that they are providing. The information on products, and other valuable content. The personalities or who they are in real life is not important. That is unless the person I am following is a pedophile or or something horrid. If I were looking for an influencer for the sake of self improving my personal weaknesses for example, who they are in real life would be much more important. That’s how I feel about it…
It seems to me that Lydia is trying to "refresh" her image by hanging around with Josie so much these days. Every trip Josie takes, Lydia is there.
trying to steal viewers?
Josie who?
@@MasterYourOwnDestiny Josie Fear, aka Fashn Mumblr
@@BibiFromSpain You're proving my point.
@@BibiFromSpain watch HG Tudor's video on narcissism and mirroring
I made a series of videos including my thoughts about the whole situation with the hair stylist. I was such a huge fan that I made videos copying her style, but what she did to that poor lady was enough for me. I wasn’t concerned about the other reasons that others gave, like her fast fashion consumerism, I could deal with all that, but bullying a heavily pregnant woman was a giant deal breaker for me.
That fucking lady burned her hair really I don't give a fuck if she was pregnant I'll probably do the same
@@danieltene4184 I’m assuming from your handle name that you identify as male, which would explain why you don’t care about the lives of a heavily pregnant woman and her baby life and care more about fried hair. Try some breathing exercises, I hear you can get Carrie to help you with your hyperventilating.
Yes she is pregnant she is not sick don’t play the pregnant card doesn’t apply here if you are not capable to do your job so don’t do it wait until the baby is born and then take clients again and fried hair that is one of her income sources
@@danieltene4184 tell me you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling me you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s obvious you haven’t done your homework. If you did, you’d know that she didn’t want to do Lydia’s hair for that exact reason, but Lydia was uncaring and insistent that she do her hair NOW. Lydia was unwilling to wait which is why this whole thing happened. Do your due diligence before yelling at everyone so you don’t look like the fool that we all see you to be.
I started following Lydia a while before her engagement, and I stopped watching her videos soon after she moved into her current home. I remember having such a love/hate relationship with her videos, I was so confused as to why I felt that way, and so ultimately unsubscribed. It was only years later that I found a couple of comments/videos describing the exact way I felt when I unsubscribed. and it was only then that I realized I wasn't the only one feeling that way
Same. I first enjoyed her videos a lot and then it start to become too much. Everything was a sponsor without her acknowledging it. I started to feel like I was watching a sales commercial. Beautiful videos and very well edited but it just seem to become too much. Especially the constant renovations.
Omg same! Thought just me felt that way, I like her a lot more when she was in her old house. I didn’t know why I felt that way , glad it wasn’t only me
This is so odd, because I could never really express to why exactly I left. You basically said it all. I still do not know why I felt that way, but once she moved I left.
Same here
I have 're subbed- I made comments only to delete them- I love her wearing jumpers she looks very decent looking covered. She worked hard so deserves the best. She is motivating me.
I used to be such a big fan, I bought her glo kit but the way she dealt with the backlash felt so out of touch. Then I did some digging and found out about the hairdresser situation, then as awful as it sounds I finally realised it kind of made sense that she struggled to keep friends. Her and Carrie’s dynamic feels laboured too.
Carrie is basically working for her now full time which is not really healthy in a friendship. I mean it's great if people work together but it seems to me Carrie is working away in the basement, editing her videos while she's playing with makeup for hours upstairs. I hope they're fine and wish them well but it could be very uncomfortable for Carrie to quit because Lydia could take it as a personal offense.
I always did feel that their "friendship" was more of a paid arrangement where Lydia is really her boss and Carrie wants to just keep her job, lol.
What's wrong with Carrie and Lydia being friends. They work together and get along. Looks like Carrie does pretty well too. Thing about Lydia is she is going to have jealousy issues from others constantly and that will make it very hard to establish friendships. Lydia seems to truly care about Carrie and they both work pretty darn hard.
what was the story of the hairdresser?
@@leylasharro2300 hairdresser messed up her hair and she had a menty b, ngl I commented this a year ago and now my outlook is a lot less judgmental. Maybe she was just having a particularly bad day !
Good video ! I actually read that hairdresser’s account of what happened and it seemed pretty “real” but who knows 🤔
I was hoping you could do a video on Lydia! Her face has changed so dramatically over the last few years and I'd love to know your thoughts
@ Lorry Hill Yes could you please do a video on lydias changing face. Her chin is now huge
Thanks Lorry! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I unfollowed her after the hairdresser debacle. I completely believe LE is a mean girl. I was more disappointed to find out LE roped her pal Amelia Liana into bullying with her. They are mean girls.
@@realpixiestix agree, I was so disappointed because she honestly seemed so sweet and authentic.
I'll have to compliment you for this video. I can see you scripted it carefully and managed the pace enough that we never lose interest.
I appreciate you saying that, thank you
Thank you for the unbiased critique. I myself have watched her for years but I find now I have nothing in common with her, she is very high end now on all of her items. Preferred her in her little house. She seems to look down on us all now.
Years ago, she was the first "influencer" I ever saw on CZcams. I loved her at first and it took a few months, but I started to see how incredibly ARROGANT she is and I dumped her. She's so pompous and conceited that I couldn't watch her anymore.
i agree i too loved her at first now she is a narcissist and copies Josie aka “Fashion Mumblr” who is another CZcams influencer moved from London to the Cotswolds very humble young lady, now they are friends? i’d would watch my back if i were Josie.
She also now deletes all comments she doesn't like which is immature.
The truth of the matter is successful people are almost always sociopaths. She is probably no exception. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's what makes people thrive in their business
I’m glad you’re doing this video because I used to watch her channel but there’s just some thing about her that bugs me. I don’t know what it is and I’ve been a hairdresser for 35 years so I have been around many different people. Maybe it’s really all about me and not her.
Nah, it's not about you. Just scroll through this comment section. Unless, you're being sarcastic, lol.
Nope your instinct is right I had this when I meet two narcissist and she shows the same behaviour scares me as they are good at misleading I recommend people watch a channel called Narc Con
She's a narcissistic bully!.
For me it was her unbelievable comment regarding the missing cat lynx.
The cat that was supposedly shot by a neighbouring farmer. (She heard the gunshot during the night you know) and on a walk she saw a mound of ashes (the said cats ashes)
1. Would you not report this?
2. If you have a gun toting neighbour why are you going for walks with your dog, and still letting your other cat roam everywhere
She delusional!!!
OMG I remember this video about the cat. Yes she really does need some sort of help....delusional
Wait so what are people thinking actually happened to Lynx? Or did she just make this story up to get sympathy or something?
what if she did it? fugue state?
@@Bignose599 we'd report a gunshot, it's extremely rare here
I used to follow her for years and have unfollowed her for the last 2 roughly .. you can see the change in character and too much drama. The hairstylist situation was horrendous !
Thanks for sharing And watching Jo!
What happened with the hairstylist? Everyone keeps mentioning it in the comment. Thanks :)
Who is this Haarstylist??
“Who is Lydia?” you ask?? “A beautiful, elegant woman or a dramatic, angry and upset woman behind the scenes?”
Ummm, how about BOTH? Honestly, this myth that is perpetuated that people/celebrities must ALWAYS be and behave perfectly otherwise they are ‘fake’ or ‘spoiled’ or cancelled?? It confounds me!! We ALL lose our shit once in a while. Especially if we are stressed, hurt or hormonal! And if most women are truly honest, when it comes to appearance, we are most particular about our hair. Did she behave badly? If it all went down as described, sure! But the comments here of self righteous people so quick to unfollow or judge her as evil because she had a meltdown is what I find more repugnant. Why? Because if most women are honest about who they are , they will know that they have had meltdowns or tantrums or experiences where perhaps they overreacted or lashed out at people…and are grateful that they are ‘nobodies’ enough that it was not broadcast for everyone else to judge. 🙄
Thank you for your insightful comment Golda and thank you for watching!
I think the argument is more genuine and complex or two-faced and half-fake? LIke NPD symptoms
English culture does not verbally abuse pregnant women, it can kill the baby. I'm not clucking over other women but I still walk behind prego women on the stairs in case they fall, so I can catch them.. She should've also offered to carry heavy things up the stairs for her, even if refused. Or get husband to do it. There's no excuse for that cruelty altogether and the woman could've reported her actually. I heard maybe Lydia can't have kids so just hated the woman for being pregnant, but invited her to her house anyway as a hair emergency, which would make sense but still be a hate crime. There's no excuse for tantrums from grown adults. Maybe she needs therapy but there's no excuse for abuse. The vengefulness of being Regina George and trying to get friends to cancel on the hairdresser is also wrathful and ugly.
@@seabreeze4559 wow. Speculating about something as private and emotive as a woman’s fertility amd then surmising that the woman “hates” another for being pregnant is deplorable. Be better!
I wasn’t there. Neither were you. Therefore, my comment was far more general than the (speculative) specifics here. My comment was based around the notion that women, particularly those in the limelight, MUST be without reproach at all times. That if they have a rare meltdown, or buckle under pressure or lash out - then they must be ‘fake’ or ‘two faced’ or ‘evil’ when in actual fact they are no more or less than human, same as the rest of us.
Thank. You. Amen.
@@goldamurr2148 she makes her private life public, I know the law. That's the rumour about WHY she randomly spat bullets at a heavily pregnant woman. Nice way to gloss over verbal abuse, placing a helpless mother and baby at risk! If you want to live in a personality cult go ahead. It's common for certain mental disorders to tie into hormonal problems that can cause infertility and that is part of the reason I hope she seeks treatment. She is not innocent and I used to watch her and like her before the attention-seeking over the hairdresser. The careful wording made it sound like she was sexually assaulted by a man, she deserves to lose face after that. I was low.
Lydia is a very beautiful woman but also a narcissist, at least that's what I perceive ... she surrounds herself with a life that only APPEARS ... so I follow her only for aesthetic taste and not as a person
I used to watch Lydia but tbh her smugness really got to me I just don't think she'd natural and I was an avid Josie fan til I saw her hanging out with Lydia all the time makes me question her integrity too!! Birds of a feather!!! 🙄
agree
Or Josie got caught as Lydia’s new supply…narcissism.
Totally agree with you
@@kerlygerl Josie is sweet.
My thoughts exactly. Josie - why?
Her incessant, excessive, gross consumerism is too much for me. I think it's pretty safe to say that she's trying to fill some void inside of her with her constant shopping. I wasn't ever subscribed to her and the occasional video that I did watch turned me off. The price point of her cheap Glo tat was utterly ridiculous. Ranked up there with Zoella's advent calendar.
She's also super ungrateful, the fact that she says she doesn't think she has that much because other people have more... 🤮 Nah.
I unsubscribed as I didn't agree with some revealing clothes she wore and made comments on her videos- only to DELETE them. If I look deep down within myself - why was I even being bothered. not about her those comments were about me. I'm watching many of her videos- learning so much- she worked hard- she is polished- home is clean. I don't agree with consuming too many clothes ( been decluttering for a long time)
She has motivated me not to be lazy.
@@Jellybellyirish perhaps because she doesn't have children? And others do.
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook no she was specifically Talking about how she wanted more money, and didn't think the material things she had were enough because other people have more. Can't stand her
I just started following her and she actually just said this in a vlog. I wonder if it’s real.
I persevered to hear what you had to say but the speed of your speaking is hard to focus on.
Sorry! I hope you got something out of it regardless
I am not looking for a perfect person .I am watching her style and it is impeccable . Stop looking for perfect on you tube ! Love Lydias sense of taste and style in just about everything . The rest is her business not mine . It's not a popularity contest . It is a business and she does know her business. Thank you for the info . Cheers from Canada
As you said "you fall in love without knowing a person" means you are the only want responsible for your feelings... influencers just do a job... selling and I don't fall in love for the drugstore lady, don't love influencers and I relate to people I actually know and care, the rest is just commercial channels.
In the beginning of her channel I found her more relatable, now not so much. I know people grow in different directions all the time, but I found her constant redo of her home and un-packaging free items to be boring. She seems to convey that she's more entitled to things they give her, and really it seems that she run out of things to talk about and do so she does the before mentioned. I unsubscribed to her a few months back for two reasons, she bullying her former hairdresser and her constant need to change her home.
I can’t understand the need to spread hate. This kind of content doesn’t help anyone.
Did you watch the video? It wasn’t hateful in any way, in fact it was meant. Praise Lydia and talk in a factual matter some of the more controversies that have surrounded her and her content.
I agree.
She's changed. Like a lot of CZcamsrs, so called "fame" has gone to their heads.
I was one of her subscribers but i left long ago, she started to waste a lot of money on her house on middle of pandemic when most of people didnt even have money for next week is insensitive, the way that she goes from one new purchase to other tossing boxes with no appreciation of what she is receiving , got so much superficial and even her style has changed,it is no longer appealing I prefer Tamara now , she is more humble !!!
Chile shut up

So true ...I was shocked with Tamara's groundness and humility.
I found myself binging on her videos even though I don't buy Luxury
Girl same! I remember one of her videos at the start of the pandemic was titled "EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED" which i thought was so insensitive. Unlike millions of others who lost their jobs, livelihoods, careers... She still worked from home, she still had a roof over her head, still had her husband, money still rolling in... nothing really changed for her.
I stopped liking Lydia after they purchased their 2nd house. She constantly redoing the house, to the point where she’s now copying some of the things that (Fashion Mumbl) Jose is doing. I could go on and on about this woman
they either met each other in buisness school (from lydias mouth) or online ! this is people's problem with Lydia, she tells one story then changes it to suit herself. She lies
i liked her a few years back but found her to become a bit repetitive and boring with her content. it felt like it was always explaining her new luxury items (which is fine) but lacked any real substance/personality that she used to have.
i liked her when they lived in the small house. i guess it was also part of being able to relate, even tho she had luxury that i couldnt afford. more so i feel like her current content is very repetetive like you said, and i havent watched her videos in like 6 months now, and think that it might be time to unsubscribe bc clearly im not gravitating for it
For me its not a personality contest ! Im strictly in it for her sense of style and it is impeccable . She is lovely and she knows her business well. As for "who is Lydia?" I trust Ali to know the answer to that . I hope Lydia will continue her youtube channel for many years to come and I will be watching and supporting it . PS I am 72 so you dont fool this old dog very easily . Well done Lydia . BRAVO from Canada .
Thats great Maribel! Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comment!
When I started my blog Lydia was the person that actually helped me a couple of years ago, she shared the different gear she used and was very open and honest.
Where can i find the gear she used etc? I need help too cause am willing to start an ASMR channel soon.🥺 Any tips would help me, thank you’
Can I ask why your audio sounds like you have it on permanetly on 2 or 3x speed? It's really distracting
I've actually met her this year 2023 and she was very rude. I was a guest somewhere that she was also a guest and she literally asked me who I was and why was I bothering her. I was only trying to get into my seat which she was blocking. She's very lucky that I was in a good mood so all she got was a low kiss my ass and now move. She did and I sat.
All this sounds like major jealousy to me. Why not unfollow her if she's 'unreal'?🙄
You're wrong about people being jealous.
Have a look at her friends or lack of....how many influencer friends has she lost. No one seems to want to associate with her except for josie fashionmblr. Look at the track record, Clare, Inthefrow, Amelia etc
And then her Supposed 1 million instagram followers. You only had to look at the followers to realise the majority were bots. Yes she was contacted by instagram and said she was hacked. Sorry never met hackers who actually want to give you subscribers!
i agree. i couldn’t believe it when i saw she & Josie ( fashionmblr) went on holiday twice! Josie is a sweetheart warm and true genuine vlogger, also i noticed lydia is competing with Josie their blogs content are so similar
but of course Lydia always has to go the xtra mile with hers bc of her narcissist ways. 🙄
she was friend with amelia? when? do we know why she is not a friend with victoria any more?
We all know that all influencers are only selling us what they want us to see , its not real life , last week Lydia did some cleaning in a very expensive designer blouse without calling her team over to do it or carrie the girl who does the running round after her . Of course we realise that off camera she's in an old jogging suit like us ! Influencers aren't stars or talented .I think Lydia has some deep rooted problems and cant stand for anything to be less than perfect which isnt life and cant help but think if she has children it would bring her down to earth more . Her lovely sausage dog is what I watch her channel for and I think its helped her realise animals are more important than designer handbags ! Her content also has some nice country vibes which is enjoyable .I know she gets a lot of freebies but the level of items she buys on a daily basis is quiet shocking and can put out discontentment to have the latest designer this and that , well we dont need or want them cluttering up the place ! I am always hoping Lydia will relax more as she ages and I think more people would warm to her .
Jealousy.......it's ugly.
Lydia is a winner. A very hard working rising star. Earned every bit of success she has along with the help of a great husband. Those two and her best friend Carrie are thriving in life. Everyone should just stop being so petty and focus on one's own life ambitions.....and if you don't have any, get a life!
When lydia verbally bullied the heavly pregnant young lady hairdresser' and then phoned her assistant Carrie to come and join in with the intimidation of a kind hard working woman, that has nothing to do with jealously, it's bullying.
She was much better years ago, I used to watch her for Lummy as reminded me of my lost cat, now she talks funny, or annoying. She is good in what she does, but she lost her sparkle. she is cold almost robotic. She's narcissistic way too much, she should humble herself, do not pretend to be a posh country girl, she is from Watford after all. I do not dislike her at all but I feel sorry for her too much materialist one day all this will finish and then? I hope she finds a balance and peace..i wish her the best . I hope Josie does not wrap as well she is more natural posh than her.
Lydia, is a very talented and very creative. The hard work and time that she puts into her job shows. Lydia is enthusiastic and So beautiful. For yhose of you who keep commenting, negatively on her appearance, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. It is no one’s business. So, why can you fools just stop watching her videos, and go read a tabloid, if it is gossip that you want.Lydia has such interesting and fun content, and all of the bullies sit back, have pushed passed the point of idolizing, to the self destructive behaviour of trying to find fault in her appearance because of your jealousy. Your comments are harmful and damaging, that is your goal, right?
There are young mums out there working on average three jobs at a time and yet an influencers life is so hard. Come on, yes they work hard but so do other women. Why arnt we lifting up these young mums ( one example ) as power house women and only focusing on what is thought to be successful ie money, homes etc?
its more about people belittling influencers job as if it isnt even a job. no one is saying that they would work harder than someone who works three different jobs. its also very different to work in physical jobs than in an office kind of a job, and both can be very hard in different ways. if people wouldnt go out of their way to complain that being an influencer isnt a proper job then people wouldnt feel the need to defend their job, every single influencer has been belittled bc of their choice of career/job. maybe you need to widen your sources bc i see in my country also regular women being lifted up, but at the same time, its quite hard to do when not everyone wants to be online and on the show, like you are with influencing, hence it can also be focused on that. a young mum struggling to get by isnt necessarily someone who wants to be put on front page, its not always easy to find those people you want to highlight, in many different areas.
@@mann7298 a very intelligent comment. One I can agree with mostly. I’m not slating the influencer culture. I think it was born out of need. People want to know how good a cream is etc before trying it, or a place to stay. Now that’s not to say that every influencer will tell the truth about a product because they won’t but all in all people are happy with what they do and trust them to a certain extent, it shows in their views. Too many times have I heard how hard they have it and that they are not taken seriously and yes they are allowed to complain the same as the rest of us about how tired they get but there are harder more stressful jobs that women are doing. They may not want to be front page of the newspaper but we do need to recognise in this world of social media that there are women working harder who never get a ‘like’ or a Pat on the back. I’m still going to admire the young mum with three jobs. Take care
@@headron66 sure, i dont think any of us forget that there are jobs where hard work really goes into it, and it doesnt get the same kind of attention. during the pandemic the healthcare workers definitely have been highlighted in a way they havent before, which is great. it is sad that it doesnt happen more often without these kind of things happening for them to get the attenion they deserve.
i think its the combination of social media ofc, but also we have a culture of competing, jealousy and expectations to succeed, and especially women going against women. i think there needs to be work towards uplifting and supporting women, no matter their profession. maybe that way everyone could get their own praise, and admiration for their hard work. its kind of how we often leave feedback when we get bad service, but when its good we rarely give feedback as eagerly. we should work on that in general, something thats been said for years but still goes.
Because if you ever experienced real bullying or a narcissistic abuse you would know what this Lydia is , she’s definitely not someone you should be admiring but that’s your choice , I’m no expert BuT I’m still recovering 3years on from narcissist abuse and Lydia has all the traits , they are very good at creating flying monkeys and deception you just won’t see it but you know it when you have experienced it .narcissist behaviour is one of the hardest to prove to the innocent eye , and they will gas light you if you try to prove it . Worst part is it comes from child hood trauma and they don’t even know they have the behaviour it’s very dangerous and sad .
Holy Cow!! Take a breath now and then!! Your speaking would be more effective if you do!
She is greedy, materialistic person with lots of mother issues. Always had that feel it about her. She isn’t genuine like Flure or Victoria.
That's your opinion about her but you actually don't know her so why say such ugly things??? I hope you are perfect to judge others.
How the fuck do you know?!?
It is obvious she isn’t natural with ppl….self absorbed…but it’s you tube.
I came across her videos a few years ago because I love designer handbags. Before I buy an expensive bag I do research on it first. So that’s how CZcams introduced her to me. She’s very pretty and has great style not to mention great handbag collection. However, she’s just boring to me. Honestly, I don’t know what it is, I just find her videos boring. 🤷🏾♀️
I too came across her when doing my bag research. Besides mentioning her favourite makeup brand which has no shade for me, there was an event where fans of hers can come and ask questions… There was only one chocolate girl, just one. That‘s basically how I felt. And when she launched her clothing line, that was it for me.
Yeah, even when I tried to force myself to look past her personality to watch, it's just sooo boring. I had to stop altogether when I would end up getting really sleepy and couldn't make it past first five minutes. Also, her titles never match what her videos are about at all.
@@skywalker6648 I agree
How do you know all this? You cannot really suppose your research upon her life leads to the assumption that you can actually know what she had in mind at a certain age or time.
Honestly I don’t know how these people do it and remain sane.
Well she didn’t think black women watch her so I definitely don’t believe she wasn’t worried about numbers.
She brought in those black painters during BLM time and suddenly we haven’t seen them any longer even though she has changed paint colors numerous times since. I asked her months ago about what black businesses she’s been supporting and not a single response despite being a top comment. She conveniently ignored it. She’s an opportunist!!
@@chaank1069 if you use the colour of your skin to sell your products, then you are telling me your products are rubbish. I will buy your products if they are a good price, good quality and good customer service, I don't give a sheet what colour you are. Maybe Ken is busy as he's so good or doesn't want to be on camera anymore. Stop with the rascist card it's boring.
Ever since I stumbled on her videos a couple of years back she never sit well with me🤔I keep watching hoping to find what all the fawners see in her........
I have always felt badly for her husband. Now he, is genuine!
Way out of your league
You must joking ! He is just as bad he is so vain and the biggest narcissist
True. @@noellet62able
Lydia is a human with good and bad like all of us! We are not stupid to thing she is perfect:)) nobody is perfect! I do not pursue her for perfection, but for ambition and inspiration and because she has ups and downs like all of us. I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for a person who has exceeded his condition and who aspires to me too. The fact that so many people talk about her, even if negatively, says that she succeeded. Congratulation Lydia!
Exactly
Mic Oh my word...your second to last sentence. "The fact that so many people talk about her, even if negatively, says that she succeeded" is a completely flawed sentiment. Plenty of people talk about Hitler. Does that mean he succeeded? I don't love Lydia, nor do I hate her, but this comment just slapped me across the face as being one of the stupidest things that I've ever read.
I LOVE her Vlogs and Lydia & Ali. The diversification of her channel is excellent and interesting. Growing up as an individual on line must be horrid as people can be so cruel. I feel if you are uncomfortable with her don't watch her. I for one enjoy that she is human and that she try's her hardest at every level.
Neutral about Lydia. Who is she: a combination of what you see on camera and what you don't. When vlogging she's putting her best foot forward. Lydia is no different than any other successful content creator who wants to move product and engage with her audience so that her advertisers get their ROI.
I agree
She was stunning with darker hair. People who dont like themselves, will try to down others. I wish her well, we all deserve the best life has to offer.
Did we completely skip over her Ibiza days?
My first time in your chanel I'm loving you talking faster than me. I like a lot your neutral analysis. Ah, you have georgeus deer eyes!
Thank you Ena!
It’s fast I had to concentrate lol… loved the content
I love Lydia's content and enjoy her vlogs. I think we need to spend more time focusing on the positive aspects of other people, as well as within ourselves! I have decided to focus on what I love versus what I don't and I am much happier because of it. I wish all YT the best as I would myself. Cheers
That said, we should not "cancel" or condemn those that share a different view than others about someone or something. That just spreads more negativity.
So between Josie and Lydia, who is copying who? I'm appalled by the huge similarities of their social media contents. Country life, gardening, same dogs, same cars etc.
I recently found both Lydia and Josie's channels on separate occassions, and while watching said, "these women are living the exact same life". I rather ennjoy watching both of them, giving us a glimpse into the life of luxury. However, it does seem difficult to maintain a high lifestyle and perfect image all of the time, which they seem to do quite well.
Thank you so much for such an interesting video. I’m a Lydia’s follower since less than a year and I really love her. Her videos have a great quality and, to me, she is so natural and charm. I can imagine she is no 100% same as in her private life, but I presume no one is when creating videos in social media. Hugs and kisses from Madrid (Spain) 🥰😘❤️
You are so welcome!
I may be mistaken about the Zimmerman dress but it was a designer white frothy dress, if she could just be more realistic it would convert to the screen, some of the things that Lydia must have from designer everything dish washing liquid to her beloved dogs collar and blanket, designer designer all the way, such a cliche.
To be clear, Lydia is not as "self-made" success story as you seem to imply and cleverly left out how her family is well off, so she could afford to invest in getting her blog off the ground with no other pressing problems to worry about. Also, I noticed you left out all the Ibiza stuff where Lydia admits herself was a bad time in her life.
You also left out that her father had to sign a guarantee in order for LEM & Ali to buy that house.
Your comments absolutely REEK of JEALOUSY. Check yourselves.
I watched her for a couple years before unsubscribing. I started to feel she was not authentic. (Click bate that she was called out for in comments but the click bate continues.) There were a lot of coincidences where she was copying other influencers, her dogs, her garden, her hot house and finally a clearly paid for video about how rich she was and highlighted her riding horses, which I had never seen in her videos. (Again mimicking an influencer who was a recognized, accomplished, competitive horse woman on a legitimate horse circuit.) I’m not interested in drama, personally or in others and have never dug for or followed up on hints of drama but I started to see a pattern of victim hood in Lydia. This may seem petty but she is no where near as articulate as other influencers and her reaction to things and situations are shallow.
I just couldn't complete watching the vdeo bcos she was talking so fast , I just cudnt concentrate
You can change the playback speed to 0.75x which slows it down a bit
