Jo was upset that Tanya and Ali Young who she thought of as friends and went riding with. Dropped her very quickly when QVC decided to get rid of her.

That old saying does ring true at times ..". Familiarity breeds contempt "
Sounds all very childish to me ..I've worked with some awful women ...vile in their behaviour ....but then again I've made some lovley friends who's pockets I don't live in and I think sometimes it is the key to friendship that can last ....to be honest I don't mind when when people are horrible and show that they are ...it's the ones that parade around as nice as pie and are horrible but most people don't see or know it ...i am in a situation like this at the moment but I am choosing to keep quiet about it all ...one days people might see ....I am finding the QVC falling outs fascinating lol :cheeky:
It's sad really as life really is too short isn't it ..xx

Sorry to hear that May, and the situation you find yourself in. I would imagine that most of us have been in such a position, I know I have (and currently in a similar one). My brother's partner is Tinkerbelle personified when others are around, but out of earshot of others she has a sarcastic tongue towards me. For my brother's sake I've bitten my tongue for not wishing to cause a scene - and she knows this; I suffered this for almost a year, and then I took my brother to one side and told him I wasn't prepared to put up with her antics. Being 'blokey' he hadn't realised there was a problem !, typical. So I've told him if it happens again and there are ructions then at least he knows what it will be about.

Ugh Brissles that is awful �� Sorry to hear that and well done for alerting your brother...I was in the same situation with my brothers then wife ...on their wedding day ...her and her chief bridesmaid were awful towards me in the day ...I had to zone out ..I didn't want to cause a fuss ...but one day about a year later I told her straight ...it just came out ..I couldn't let it go any more ..a longer story than I can explain here but they are not togetheranymore although speaking terms for the kids at least but ..I don't see either another long story lol ....the first incident immentioned I caught out on messanger ( I have left the social media site since ) her and an old school male friend after having met up after 43 years we had a lovley day and hubby came along ..the male is married and the female divorcing ...had a few hints she was being hostile but I had to ignore it as I didn't want to spoil my happy school memories ....anyway ..couple of weeks later I caught a conversation of them being really spiteful about my dinners (the make started it which is really bizarre as they had not ever tasted my cooking ) andnshowing emoticons of being sick and other bodily functions ...I was totally gutted shocked and felt sick ...I didn't respond how anybody would.normaly would ..shock I think ...they saw I had joined the meesanger group (which I set up to send like gifs of their names as a kind gesture ) he apologised and she typed " oh you've come back " .. I said that's ok ...and left ...cut a long story short they both sent me a Christmas card and I returned one but..I felt odd ...not the same ..I had been elated at finding them again and this betrayal hurt so badly ..nobody has a clue as far as I know what they are like ...and I told myself after a while to run and don't look back ...after a few months of seeing how I really felt..my hubby has been amazingly supportive ...I'm getting through it now and there is a lot worse in life I know ..it threw me off track that's for sure .. didn't see it coming after having such a pleasant reunion and chats about our childhoods ...phew ..I should have told them where to go but I thank goodness I kept my dignity lol.....
People can be very mean and nasty May. As Brissles said, I bet a lot of us have been in a position during our life where we have come across horrible people. I know I have. You can get very hurt and upset - and end up thinking about it all the time wondering what you have done wrong, when in fact, you haven't done anything. I always reckon they have sad lives and want to make themselves somehow feel superior to others, and go about this by being two-faced, mean and nasty. Let's hope Karma catches up with them all.

Awww Thank you Anna ...yes I do know exactly what you mean ...their words have had me wondering what I had done ...etc ...but as you say they are the ones with the problem ...everybody thinks they are lovely ...and when you see posts such as .."Jane ( not her name ) What a lovley time we had and you're such a lovley friend .." ....it grates lol ...but yes Karma can happen I know ...bide your time as they say ...great advice ..it is I really feel for people who have been badly betrayed ...really badly ...what I experienced isn't much in the grand scheme of things but I often wonder if I'd been feeling very down or something and know hubby for support and other friends ...I felt a fool to be quite honest lol ...live and learn and all things I believe happen for a reason although ...I've been through som I have worse I know I have ...I'm old enough to experience these things but this really knocked me ...feel for anybody experiencing any sort of betrayal right now ...but to a degree ...time is a healer ....and makes us wiser and stronger :mysmilie_59:

The world is full of nasty people and you have two choices, let them win and hurt you or ignore them completely as you just laugh sympathetically.
I get on great with my daughter in laws, we're like best mates, we go shopping and do lunch together and sometimes with us three mums, they have a daughter each and I've got the two beautiful sons, but I haven't spoken to my mother in law for about twenty years, we got on when we first met about thirty years ago, but you know when you just get that feeling that you're not approved of? (how very dare she?! :mysmilie_17
so I made the conscious decision to just avoid her, I told my husband it would be more awkward for him if I didn't, so we happily settled into it.
Always speak up, if you let it fester it just builds up and explodes, so take them to one side and pull them up over it, if it makes them embarrassed and squirm, all the better.

I thought she had really aged, surprised they let her back on but at least she was doing Bobbi Brown not Quaker.

The actual term she used was TOO BIG. QVC thought she was Too Big. Now on here there was the debate did she meant over weight or too big for her boots? She started her own agency(not sure if she still has it?), so was she pushing her clients for jobs on QVC. When on shows fashion or beauty she did talk a lot as I remember, were the other models said a few words or nothing. All her and Tanya going riding or going riding with Ali Young etc. I did not mind it as it was not all hard sell when she was chatting to the presenters.
She was only on IW for a very short period and bang gone. So whether IW thought they would get one up on QVC by hiring her? It did not last more than a few shows, the same as some brands that went to IW from QVC only last one or two shows and gone. Some have stayed longer though.

Didn't she have a fall out with Charlie Brook?
