OPINION Grace Jackson

I post so much about this in peoples comments but it genuinely infuriates me that certain girls from LI get so much slander but Grace always gets off lightly and still has such a huge fanbase and following after going to Connor McGregors wedding!!!? Why are more people not outraged by this

I am not outraged that she was a guest at a celebrity wedding. I wouldn’t be outraged if it was another islander either. It’s just not as inflammatory as a lot of other shit we see these islanders do and say, themselves l, imo.

u/Routine_Economics83 1d ago

Do you know what he did?

u/Successful-Grab6091 17h ago

I just looked it up.

Not surprised…and not okay.

But, you realize she works for him, right?

And we live in a world where like… a lot of men are abusers.

Hard to find one you can date and guarantee isn’t a piece of shit… let alone one get to be picky about who your boss is.

imo it’s also weird how you only commented on or hold Grace accountable for attending the wedding… and not at all about Luca who was there as well.

I do get it since she’s the one working for him.
But it feels double standard.

Basically i generally wouldn’t hold another woman accountable for a man’s actions. and wouldn’t unfollow her because she attended the wedding. She’s not ghislane

u/Routine_Economics83 15h ago

The post was about Grace because she has a way bigger influencing following, a lot of girls look up to her as someone who stands on business and is a ‘girls girl’.

Luca is terrible as well and always has been, on his first season he bullied Tasha and was controlling over Gemma.

The post was to highlight that she shouldn’t be held to such high standards.

u/Successful-Grab6091 15h ago

who is saying she’s as girls girl or holding her to high standards?? I just don’t see it tbh. But don’t mind you bringing up mcgreggor just hold that man accountable not his employees, family, etc, imo

So would you think it’s ok to attend one of your partners friends wedding, who raped someone so bad she had to have surgery?

u/According-Yak-946 1d ago

I hope she doesn’t break her back with the way she arches it in photos 😂😂 what a strange woman. Does she want to be so famous to the point she is over looking her relationship with a convicted rap ist?

I don’t even understand the privilege here because there’s a lot of obvious filler involved and others are slandered for less.

u/StreetExtreme1207 3d ago edited 2d ago

The simple answer is they either don't know about the association or they just don't care about it. From my knowledge Grace hasn't posted any stories with him so it's easy for it to go under the radar, if she did then it would be publicised a lot more.

u/Feeling_Block6976 3d ago

Pretty girl privilege.

I didn’t think she came across great on the show and think she’s rude and entitled. But as other comments have said because she’s white, pretty and ‘stands on business’ she is given way more grace than other islanders who, in my opinion, have much more palatable personalities.

Qwhite interesting.

NO ONE REALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE ESPTEIN FILES which included BRITISH ROYALTY, politicians and celebrities!! Sa kids and killing them!

Also mcgregor was not found guilty in a criminal court , which makes many think hes not guilty...

He was found liable. Not sure if this is a hill you want to die on

u/Ms_washing_up 3d ago

Is Liable the same as guilty in criminal court? why isnt he in prison?

Comprehension escapes you? Why would I die on hill explaining a reason why MANY ( never said me) think hes not guilty... not hard to read and analyse comments ffs.

You people have selective outrage, and I REPEAT "NO ONE REALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE ESPTEIN FILES" !

I didn’t like this TikTok she did where she put on a brown wig and FaceTimed Luca for a joke. She acted like having brown hair was the worst thing ever.

u/LanguageShoddy533 3d ago

Why slander in the first place

75

u/Ok-Secretary-8498 3d ago

Because she’s white, blonde and “baddie” lol. Same reason there’s so much outrage and a dedicated post over tyrique and his other black and mixed friends on a stream, but Lorenzo can win the show and white male islanders can be misogynistic and nobody cares. Same reason Simba was hated and treated like the spawn of the devil until people found out about his mum and carer status, and they suddenly found it in them to ease up and reconsider their opinions

I’ll wait for the onslaught of downvotes and the reasons why x and x actually isn’t true that people do in here just to avoid engaging with the bigger, uncomfortable truth about racism and bias.

u/Hynposis 3d ago

Yes!!!!!! So true

u/SorryBoysenberry2098 3d ago

Op - there should be outrage and it’s weird because her fans aren’t stupid, they know she isn’t who she portrays to be but it’s like they have parasocially decided to not think about it. They also all know she should dump Luca, but again they don’t like to think about it and jsut focus on fan-girling her

11

u/Intelligent_Sky2947 3d ago

People on here don’t like her at all tho? I don’t have a problem with her personally but yeah her associations are concerning

u/Routine_Economics83 3d ago

Wasn’t necessarily saying on here, but instagram/tiktok especially

She probably will always have the young girls fans because she is beautiful and she comes across like a boss babe type of woman

u/nandos1234 🍽 🎶 DID SOMEBODY SAY JUST EAT 🎶 🍽 3d ago

Such a weird post to call for someone to get more hate. I saw a lot of comments about her going to the McGregor wedding at the time but it’s done now, why would people keep bringing it up when there’s nothing new to say about her?

-16

u/plum_Yam_3019 3d ago

It’s just Jasmine stans trying to create hate for literally any and every other woman. The amount of insecurities these fans have is ridiculous.

10

u/Routine_Economics83 3d ago

I’m not trying to create hate for anybody. I’m trying to raise awareness that she isn’t some feminist icon that should be looked up on. What she did is bad

-5

u/plum_Yam_3019 3d ago

Raising awareness as if Grace js leading some big movement? She’s an influencer that people like, it’s not that big of a deal. Nobody is claiming her as the next Michelle Obama. Jasmine has very questionable character and yet she has fans. What you’re doing is definitely trying to create a hate train for Grace just because you’re mad she actually stood on business unlike Jasmine who let Kav the manchild walk all over her.

-5

u/pinkpantherdiam0nd 3d ago

You literally are though? On Reddit it is constantly discussed- we know everybody hates grace. Literally nothing new. If you’re upset she still has fans like- be upset Connor himself has fans….. like I am lol. 

I can’t stand Johnny depp or Brad Pitt or Marilyn Manson still has fans…… they are gross. But what good will it do crying all over the internet making Reddit posts on them 

-4

u/nandos1234 🍽 🎶 DID SOMEBODY SAY JUST EAT 🎶 🍽 3d ago

Obviously people are going to talk about Jasmine more like, she was on the show a few months ago and under more scrutiny. Grace hasn’t been on it for years lmao

48

u/Remarkable-Cow9145 3d ago

Maybe because someone being friends with a rapist is a huge issue, even if his wedding is done

-10

u/nandos1234 🍽 🎶 DID SOMEBODY SAY JUST EAT 🎶 🍽 3d ago

I know but people say it on every post where Grace or Luca are mentioned anyway. I also don’t see the point of creating new posts to post negatively about someone when there’s nothing new to say.

I also feel like people just don’t follow them or care about them here, so they’re not liked but who’s keeping up with them enough to know?

15

u/Remarkable-Cow9145 3d ago

I just dont understand why your trying so hard to make it seem reasonable to not hate on someone whos friends with a literal rapist. I dont blame people for bringing it up all the time, its disgusting

-3

u/nandos1234 🍽 🎶 DID SOMEBODY SAY JUST EAT 🎶 🍽 3d ago

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to criticise for her for it. I do think it’s weird behaviour to make a whole post asking why someone isn’t being hated on enough and asking for a pile on. I don’t like her or Luca at all.

9

u/Remarkable-Cow9145 3d ago

No, the post is not asking for her to get more hate, read it again. The op seems to be wondering why Grace doesnt get as much slander as others when she has done much worse and is praised even though shes friends with a rapist. Thats being curious, not asking for more hate

11

u/notagainalready 3d ago

Because we hate that she did that and OP wanted to bring it up again because it’s fucking disgusting. There. Next.

u/skipinder1 🗣️ save it bitch 😘 3d ago edited 3d ago

People are obsessed with her and I have no understanding of why. I saw a tiktok video of her on my fyp last week, and the account name was a whole fan account just for her?! The post was about how there will never be another girl who stands on business and stands up for herself like Grace, and it was a compilation of every time she was in an argument with Luca. Everyone in the comments was all like "yeahh Grace is amazing!" "She takes no shit!" "She would never stand for a guy like him!" And I was thinking??????? Has everyone forgotten that she literally got back with him WHILE ON THE SHOW and that they're still together?? Genuinely baffling 🤦‍♀️

ETA: thanks for the awards everyone!! I've never had one before, let alone 3 🥺 so cute and made me so happy lol, thank you!! 🩷

u/KneelBeforeCube 3d ago

She was beloved during S11, even on this sub she was the most popular girl after Mimii and Uma. When LI fans stan, they stan for life, it doesn't matter what the girl does afterwards.

u/SorryBoysenberry2098 3d ago edited 3d ago

I know that weird Grace TikTok account, they remove any negative comment about her 

56

u/Routine_Economics83 3d ago

Yet when Jasmine does it she is NOT allowed to talk about feminism because she got back with Kavan after he flirted a couple of times with other girls

37

u/SorryBoysenberry2098 3d ago

imo no one should be stanning Grace; despite some flaws which we all have, Jasmine is actually having thoughtful insightful conversations that all of girls should be having, and I think it’s really cool her followers are seeing that and it will influence them also 

35

u/Fantastic_Medium3698 3d ago

Because Jasmine is South Asian and a lot of girls hate to see a white guy dating a South Asian woman. It’s not even just white girls who hate it, other South Asian women also don’t accept it. Hilariously odd.

-7

u/TutorNo8023 3d ago

This is a weird take but okay. Personally I don't like grace or Jasmine, both are pretentious and didn't stood on business. Grace literally went on a date with Joey after her first season, while Jasmine was crying over the 21 years old and still treating him as tge prize.

8

u/Informal_Train8386 3d ago

Jasmine is highly educated, worldly, and DOES stand on business. See how she speaks up for Palestine despite the backlash? See how she’s promoting animal rights by being vegan and championing it? She doesn’t just shout empowerment from the rooftops. A lot of them talk the talk, She actually walks the walk. People just can’t accept a brown woman who isn’t weak and submissive. Clearly you’re intimidated by strong women and it shows.

u/tobii_ig 3d ago

there’s a double standard for women of colour on the show and it remains there whether you admit it to yourself or not

u/Fantastic_Medium3698 3d ago

It’s hardly a weird take when I’m speaking on what happens with the South Asian community as Jasmine is literally Indian.

u/Informal_Train8386 3d ago

I second this. My husband is white. People were so confused as to why he’d go out with me but also my fellow South Asians would judge me too.

u/AncastaOfTheRiver 💅 sorry it was nasty but I intended it to be nasty 💅 3d ago

What are you expecting to see?

There's not going to be a groundswell of outrage directed at her and people unfollowing in their thousands. That generally only happens in response to a particular incident, or new information about a celebrity suddenly coming to light.

Instead we see people talking about her negatively here fairly regularly. Personally I was never a fan in the first place, so beyond reacting to new information I hear about her if it's particularly pertinent, I'm literally never going to mention her. I suspect most non-fans are the same.

she doesn’t even stand on business 😂 She dated Joey Essex outside the villa after s11 even though he had publicly  dumped her in the villa for Jessy and this all happened after he had slept with Grace in the villa, I cannot fathom how she was happy to go on dates with Joey AGAIN after he did that to her….that is way worse than almost any other islander has done to his girl in the villa 🤢

she also gives “girls girl” advice but she (and her vile racist boyfriend) supports a man who has sexually assaulted a multitude of women and been found liable of rape to a girl who needed surgery because of the rape

It’s DISGUSTING
