Summary
We had some things to say, so we’re back for a one-off episode of Close Friends. In this episode Lucy and Tara dissect the recent controvery around British Lifestyle influencer and Creative Driector of fast fashion chain Pretty Little Thing, Molly-Mae. We discuss why we disagree with her sentiments around privledge whilst unpicking the public scrutiny she’s facing and mob mentality. It’s a tricky one to navigate and not a simple answer, but something we need to discuss more.
