Lauryn Goodman slams trolls after social services called on her kids
Reality television star Lauryn Goodman has spoken out about the harassment she faced from trolls. Including some who called social services on her children with Kyle Walker, after being targeted on a notorious gossip website.
Lauryn, 34, has been subjected to horrible slurs from "keyboard warriors" on the "toxic" Tattle Life site. The disgraced platform allowed users to anonymously post intimate and private details about celebs and influencers, often spreading and fuelling gossip.
The site has caused irreparable harm to both celebs and wide businesses. Those affected by the site include well-known stars like Katie Price, Alice Evans, Stacey Solomon, and Molly-Mae Hague.
Tattle Life's founder, Sebastian Bond, has recently been identified after spreading false and hurtful claims about couple Neil and Donna Sands. The couple won a substantial £300,000 libel payout due to a defamatory 45-page thread on the website.
Fashion influencer and clothing brand Sylkie owner Donna, and tech entrepreneur Neil, received damages for the harassment and defamation suffered, according to reports in the Mirror.
Lauryn connected with the couple on Instagram and formed a WhatsApp group to attempt to identify the individuals responsible for spreading the malicious rumours on the site.
Recounting her dreadful ordeal with the site, she told the Mail that it all started during lockdown when she was expecting her eldest son Kairo with footballer Kyle while he was on a 'break' from his wife Annie Kilner.
She alleged that Tattle users slandered her, accusing her of being an escort paid to travel to Hong Kong for sexual encounters. As her relationship with Kyle became public knowledge, she explained that Tattle users began directing vile abuse at her kids.
"They have called my children so many nasty, nasty things which I don't ever want to say because it's so disgusting. They used terms for children born out of wedlock, horrible terms that you shouldn't refer any child by.
"They're so innocent – they're minors and it's sick. I can't understand why anyone would do this to kids. They think they are funny with it but there is nothing funny about it, what have my children done to deserve this? Take away my part in the mess, what have they done? It's a form of harassment."
The situation escalated further when she disclosed that social services had been falsely alerted about her, with claims that Kairo and Kinara were not being cared for properly. Confessing her embarrassment, she said: "People from Tattle were anonymously ringing social services. They say it on the website too, things like: 'She's going to be getting a call from social services...' and the next thing, I get one."
Lauryn stated that there had been two interventions from social services, which she described as "just horrible". "They say my children aren't loved but they are, they get hugs all of the time and I read a book to them every night," she said.
"They said stuff like I don't feed them and when Kairo was a baby they said I was starving him. I mean, I was exclusively breast pumping to give him milk all hours. It was horrible, it was mean and it is totally unacceptable."
She then disclosed that Kinara's name first surfaced on Tattle Life, a detail she hadn't made public and had only shared with close friends and family. "Inevitably, it caused trust issues for me. It makes me paranoid," Lauryn expressed.
"It gave me anxiety and it changed me. I used to be outgoing but now I'm a nervous wreck."
The influencer also voiced her deep concern over how individuals on the site would track her favourite coffee shop locations or other places she visited. She further alleged that her medical records were discussed on the site, along with outrageous claims that she was "off her head on the gear", implying cocaine use.
Lauryn denies ever using drugs. She added: "They contact the companies and point out bad things about people and then they get dropped and that means they lose money, this is affecting people's livelihoods and it's not fair."
After her widely covered court case with Kyle, Lauryn revealed how the public attention intensified for her. She commented: "I feel like it has impacted me in quite a lot of ways, not just defamation and libel issues but it has contributed to the circus and the narrative of the saga with Kyle."

Joe Wicks's health advice labelled 'dangerous' after he told fans he 'relapsed' on his sugar-free diet (that even bans fruit!)
'The Body Coach' Joe Wicks is facing criticism from personal trainers, nutritionists and dietitians after he claimed he has 'relapsed' from his sugar-free lifestyle. The 39-year-old fitness coach and TV personality has been sharing his journey on social media as he tries to eliminate sugar from his diet altogether, including natural sugars found in fruits. However, the online fitness community has raised concerns that he is sending out 'irresponsible' messages about disordered eating to his millions of fans. Joe, who has 4.8 million followers on Instagram alone, posted an update video on his sugar-free journey and confessed he had 'smashed a whole packet of Jaffa Cakes'. He said the moment of weakness occurred while he was filming the celebrity special for BBC game show series Gladiators, and led to him eating more sugar in the form of brownies and various fruits over the next few days. 'Got a confession to make. I've had a relapse. I thought I was invincible, to be honest, at one point. I was about 11 weeks in, really cut out [sugar], really was feeling good, was getting leaner, feeling amazing,' he began his update, posted on Tuesday August 5. 'Anyway, look, here's what it is. And of all the places to have a slip-up, it was last Tuesday at Gladiators, when I was filming the celebrity special of Gladiators. 'I basically walked into the sort of green room and there was a table full of sweets and sugar and chocolate. Penguins, Kit Kats, crisps, there was Jaffa Cakes. 'There was like breakfast bars, energy gels, it was just a table full of sugar. I had a bit of fruit to begin with and I cracked. 'Guess what it was that done me? It was a packet of Jaffa Cakes, which I haven't eaten for years. I smashed a whole packet of Jaffa Cakes.' Continuing his update, Joe said he later sustained an injury on his neck which stopped him from working out for a week, adding that he 'felt a bit run down' and 'had a bit of a cold'. He also said the gloomy weather of the past few weeks and poor sleep contributed to him not feeling 'great'. The combination of these factors led him to have a 'wobble', Joe said, as he gave into temptation and carried on eating 'brownies and loads of fruit'. 'Yesterday, just for example, I had half a melon, three satsumas, two nectarines and three peaches. That ain't normal,' he declared, branding sugar an 'addictive substance'. 'That is not normal. But for me, the sugar, it's like a little monster in my tummy. Once I feed that bacteria, it craves and wants and wants, and I have to just eat it until I've cleaned the house out.' The P.E. With Joe star said that while he was not 'beating myself up', he said he needed 'a bit of recovery' time due to his slip-up with sugar. Meanwhile, Robert Moir, a fitness and nutrition consultant, said that Joe is 'spiraling' and worried that the TV personality is starting to lean towards a 'disordered eating problem' with his content 'It's always there, sugar's the thing we turn to to make us feel better and it kind of does that in that moment, but ultimately, I feel so bloated, I'm just not sleeping as well and my mood has dropped, I'm just not as upbeat and positive, and I was really pushing the whole sugar-free thing.' Joe then conceded that he would not be able to live a completely sugar-free life, but said he would continue to reduce the amount of sugar he consumes. He advised fans who 'have an issue with sugar' to make sure they 'get it out of the house' so they aren't tempted to eat it, and claimed that cutting sugar out left him with a clearer mind and more energy, and that it was 'life-changing'. Joe first began cutting both refined and natural sugars from his diet in May, after he shared a video in which he said he was 'addicted to sugar'. His no-sugar challenge came after he claimed that ultraprocessed junk food was to blame for the explosion of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses in children. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Headliner's podcast last year, Joe said he 'ran on sugar' as a child and blamed it for his behavioural issues. But his latest update has caused a wave of concern from fans and other experts in the fitness and wellness industry, including personal trainers, nutritionists and dietitians, who have taken to TikTok to comment on Joe's claims. Robert Moir, a fitness and nutrition consultant, said that Joe is 'spiraling' and worried that the TV personality is starting to lean towards a 'disordered eating problem' with his content. 'I realise [this] is a big statement to make but I think Joe's channels are now becoming a bit problematic, which is a shame considering what he's done for this industry and for people in general. 'But he's not quite qualified to be talking about this stuff and I think he needs an intervention.' Meanwhile, Joshua Hill, a registered associate nutritionist and sports therapist, said Joe is 'becoming irresponsible with his nutrition advice' and was particularly displeased with Joe's use of the word 'relapse'. 'I feel sorry for Joe Wicks because he clearly doesn't have a positive relationship with food,' Joshua lamented. 'He clearly has a poor relationship with sugar and he blames it for a lot. He's even said on national radio his poor diet, high in sugar, caused and worsened his ADHD. 'I'm just fed up with people that the public trusts encouraging poor and very disordered eating habits, acting like they're extremely knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition.' Joshua continued: 'Relapse is a serious word. It belongs in conversations about drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling and so on, not Jaffa Cakes.' Another nutritionist and lifestyle coach, Hayley Field, was also unimpressed by Joe calling sugar an 'addictive substance'. 'I was a functioning drug addict for many, many years and let me tell you, I have never craved a jam doughnut in quite the same way as I craved an 8th of cocaine,' she said bluntly in her own TikTok video. She also explained that Joe appears to talk about a 'restrict and binge cycle'. 'He's severely restricted his access to sugar, carbohydrates for 11 weeks and now he finds himself bingeing on them and unable to control his intake of them. 'That is classic disordered eating, what he's describing to us, and with such a massive platform, I just don't feel like this is the right thing for him to share.' Joe's own fans have also criticised the coach's attitude towards restricting sugar and 'demonising' it. Commenting on his video, one person wrote: 'Cut out sugar for yourself if you want, but using a massive platform to demonise it and use emotive words like "relapse" because you ate a few Jaffa Cakes is dangerous and unhinged.' Another said: 'Wtf is going on here? Banning fruit?? Using the word 'relapse' like you have a drug or alcohol problem. 'What you're saying here is completely wrong. It's fuelling a culture of restrictive dieting, which in your early days [you] said was wrong! 'Cutting out whole food groups is not the answer and is an awful message to give to your children, let alone the others who are fully invested in you.' A third added: 'As someone who struggles with binge restrict cycles this sounds exactly like one.' In a Q&A with The Daily Mail's food critic Tom Parker Bowles, published in May, Joe claimed that it is 'in my DNA' to crave cheap, ultraprocessed junk food because it made up 'about 90 per cent' of his childhood diet. He said: 'When I'm stressed, it's a real issue. I don't just walk out of a shop with one chocolate bar and a bag of Monster Munch crisps. 'I'll also get a can of Coke, a packet of Fruit Pastilles and a tub of Ben & Jerry's and eat it all within half an hour.' Joe added that his diet is much more balanced now and that he is in control '80 per cent of the time', but admitted to 'drinking fizzy drinks and bingeing on sugar' for the other 20 per cent of the time. The Daily Mail has contacted Joe for comment.
