The Lindquists: Welcome to hELLE | Part 2

[sunnyshine]

I was going to comment on this but I wasn't sure if I should... I definitely feel like calling her a 'radiant' person that she's so sad her children won't know is quite contradictory based on those multiple abuse videos. I'm definitely confused....

[Margie]

Elle’s therapist is clearly failing to address her Stockholm syndrome...

[Seriouslysweetie]

How nice that Elle is romanticizing her mom because of a sponsored video. I also bet from now on she's going to casually mention every now and then that she comes from "royalty".

Oh and on IG she mentions her haters. I feel so validated. Hi Elle, nice to see you lurking.

[okaythatlldo]

Maleficent is legit one of the coolest villains and Elle is not worthy. Should have been Ursula.

Hi guys, long time lurker, first time posting! I just wanted to pop in and ask if anyone noticed that Elle may perhaps have a new vehicle already? On her latest instagram story she seems to be sitting in a vehicle (large SUV) with a front to back sunroof and black leather seats.

Anyways, I also just want to say I'm a big fan of you all. When I first started to feel frustration towards Elle's fakeness and total ignorance I felt so alone. Her comments on her videos are full of such mindless followers, drinking up whatever koolaid she was serving. My first big problems with her started when she started drinking and selling those garbage oils. That doterra brand is just another MLM and shes lucky she hasn't been sued after recommending their oils for various health ailments. Also, do you remember when Dan got into that car accident? She was flipping out! I messaged her because I'm actually an Auto Claims Adjuster for an Insurance company in Ontario. I told her what the next steps would be and that everything would be covered by her insurance. She never responded. She wanted it to seem like the biggest disaster to her viewers!!!

Hey there!
I think most of us 'haters' originated as genuine viewers of her content(which Elle does not seem to understand)...and then were disappointed by her lack of authenticity. As you pointed out: 'Her comments on her videos are full of such mindless followers' --because it is curated by Elle... Most of us would have gladly aired our issues in her comment section, but since she censors everything, ended up here.

[sunnyshine]

The thing about Elle is that I go back and forth about her intentions. I don't trust a lot of people online anyway, but when things go funny over time, it makes me question things even more. Example, did she intentionally not turn the water off on the back of the toilet because deep down she wanted a remodel? Because who doesn't know about the little knob on the back of the toilet that turns off the water?
Why say that Forde and Cohen won't be in videos anymore to "protect their privacy" but then still show your youngest kid all the time? You either want privacy or you don't. Also I hate her youngest kid's first name but that's just a side note. AND continue to show your kids on IG anyway... I'm suspicious of her motives for sure.
As I mentioned the other day, why make videos about how horrible your mother was, how abusive she was, and cry through the whole thing. Even two weeks ago talking about undoing years of abuse. And then make videos about how wonderful and radiant she was...? What??

[okaythatlldo]

The girl never makes any sense. She contradicts herself on an ongoing basis and remains the least self-aware person I have ever come across. AND I LOVE IT.

Okay...

I just saw Elle’s resolution post. She says she wants 2020 to be the year she does everything with focus and intention. She says that every year, but whatever. INTENTIONAL FLOURISHING, she calls it.

The weirdest part for me, though, is when she says she’s going to be more focused on what she eats, exercise, her kids, friends, and “my relationship.” I noticed she left her marriage out of this list...unless they’ve downgraded to a relationship? Or is it a typo that’s supposed to read “relationships”? Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the fact that she didn’t specifically mention her husband in this list is very telling.

Good catch on her being in a new vehicle! I didn’t notice, but now that you mention it, the video of all of her kids sleeping was them side by side interesting. I’ll pay more attention next time!

And sunnyshine, I’m so with you. Her motives are incredibly unclear and she goes back and forth on so many things. I think she has a hidden agenda with everything she does, and I think that agenda is “grow my channel by any means possible” but she doesn’t want to come across looking like she’s desperately trying to grow her channel, and I think she doesn’t want to come across this way because she knows she needs the external validation of follower counts and the like, and she knows it’s a weakness and doesn’t want it to be revealed. So things like not showing her kids on YouTube, is because YouTube won’t push her videos if her kids are involved, so she opts to leave them out, but tells us it’s for a different reason, aka, their privacy. She would seem more genuine if she just admitted that she was leaving them out because it affected her channel, she could even lie about it in a more realistic way, “I’m leaving them out because including them in my videos makes YouTube flag my channel and I don’t want to risk that anymore. I want comments on, I want to continue this community, and they easiest way to keep it up is to exclude them” but instead she lies in a way that makes it look like she’s morally superior to everyone, but then shoots herself in the foot by including the baby and exposing her kids all over her Instagram. She is just too fake for me.

[Seriouslysweetie]

I cannot with Elle's OCD of maintaining an image and wanting to be relatable at the same time. In today's video, she showed what her "real life" mess looked like. It was couple of books on the floor and some baskets laying on its side. Then in the next sentence she admits that she tidied up before shooting this and proceeded to tell her audience that she's not perfect and she can't keep her house clean just like any other mom. She's definitely a special kind of person for staging a mess for Youtube.

I was skeeved by the phone call with whats-her-face. It just seemed so transactional and not at all a real call to a friend to congratulate on a successful product launch.

[Margie]

So she has had an entire host of store bought cleaning products that she’s clearly used enough of to run out of, and then halfway through she addresses “I’ll teach you how to make your own... blah blah, plastic, blah blah“, aka, I’m better than you because I’m sustainable, let me teach you how to be better than you are.... but actually I’m just like you and buy chemicals to clean with, but I need to appear superior so as usual, I’m better than you but also completely relatable.
Pick. A. Lane.

Also, I wish she would be more cognizant of her shooting angles and place her camera out of direct view of her ass. If she really cared about YouTube as a career, you’d think she’s invest in a tripod.

Is it just me, or does every phone call she record with Melissa seem like Melissa is always busy and unable to talk for any extended period of time, she also always seem unimpressed by anything Elle says. I’m starting to think Melissa lies about what she’s up to so she doesn’t have to talk to Elle she’s probably wondering how to get rid of this stage 5 clinger

[Seriouslysweetie]

Also what disaster is Elle exactly? I think the title is clickbait again. Other than Christmas decor to put away, there was no disaster to clean up. She should've used that title when Cohen puked in his crib.

She’s on a plane again? With only her favourite child?
$20 bets when her and dan split she takes the girl and leaves him the boys.
Wonder where she is going now. I feel like the only place she ever goes is New York

[Notablogger]

I’m surprised no one made a comment here about her latest Instagram post with her fake bangs, talking about she’s going through a lot of personal things. Do you think influencers do this to stir up interest in their lives? A lot of them use this ploy. They’re super vague so technically they could be telling the truth but it keeps the audience around, waiting for an announcement of some sort.

[Margie]

I just went and checked the post, I hadn’t seen it.

Her bff Melissa okaaaaay.
I definitely feel like many influencers do this. It’s so annoying. It’s like she’s trying to seem interesting, unfortunately for Elle, she is the least interesting person ever

[Seriouslysweetie]

She totally did that bangs post for attention. It worked when she did that IG story about going through something personal then the next clickbaited with "My First Christmas Alone".

I feel bad for Melissa Maker. She has that type of friend that always needs help and cheering up. I doubt that Elle reciprocates it. Also I watched Melissa's last clean with me video. She said "I'm not going to label this video a disaster clean up because there was no fire or flood" and I legit spat out my coffee a tiny bit . Melissa's real life mess is totally believable and the way she did that video was 100x more informative than Elle's.

Heres what I learned from Elle’s cleaning video:

- She gets to clean her house without her kids present. Can you imagine how clean your house would be if you could ship off your kids every time you cleaned?!

- Melissa hates her lmaooo most awkward phone convo ever.

- Elle won’t use plastic cleaning bottles but will inject plastic into her face.

- Elle cleans before her “DISASTER” cleaning video, of course she does.

- Her kids never get to play, because her “mess” was a couple of toys and open bins. That’s it. So these kids never get to let loose and really use their toys for imaginative play.

- She has no family traditions/rituals re: holidays. My kids help me take down the ornaments and tree, we talk about our favorite new ornament that year or our favorite Christmas memory.
