Celeb benefit cheat

hellohelloitsme · 2025-10-27T14:04:13+00:00

I won't name names but a celeb benefit cheat claimed the UC forms were too hard to fill out and she found it difficulty to understand the forms etc. Think she has a second home (Owned by a few family members) but received £20+k These weren't pip or any disability benefits. Aibu in thinking she's lying and not enough checks are being done?

I don't want to give her name, I don't want to direct hate. She's been convicted. How she's had two babies whilst having an affair with footballer. She must have lied about that as well

You don't want to direct hate, but you did feel the need to start a thread on Mumsnet for the purposes of slagging her off?

It really doesn't matter if you name her or not; anyone can easily find out who you're talking about.

Hahaha, love it!

It’s more likely to be Lauren herself, she’s that desperate to be in the news!

Pretty much. She doesn’t see to care good or bad as long as her names in the papers.

I highly doubt that tennis player leaked his one date with her 😅🫣

It would be really nice if OP was actually interested in current affairs, things that matter in the world, ways to improve her and others lives, not just vapid ‘celeb’ shite. I find it really insulting that she thinks the rest of us are brainless airheads too.

She refused to believe it at first. Unfortunately I couldn't prove it to her as I've got no idea who we're talking about. She ended up calling me a liar and a homewrecker all because of the misunderstanding last year with me and her husband coming over to help move a sofa. Thanks a bunch OP, I hope you're happy now.

I was longing for someone to tell us who the bloody hell the celebrity is. Now I know her name and I still have no idea who she is or what she's famous for.

Not sure if someone else has spilled the beans but her sister was on ex on the beach so then she shagged a footballer a couple of times. That’s all.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with having two properties.

Seems that she claimed she was living alone whilst in fact co-habiting with someone else.

DWP are pretty rigid on expecting that if someone co-habits, their partner will be contributing a fair share to the household income.

However as many women evidence on here, this is a long way from an accurate assumption in every case!

So not only would you not name who it is (Lauryn Goodman) you've also not got the details of the case right either.

Also this has come to light in the media again recently because she's having a fight with her ex partner over child maintenance, and his team have used that benefit fraud conviction from 2019 (where she was found guilty and was punished) to further their case.

Did you have a point OP?

WonderfulSmith · 27/10/2025 15:21

Well I’ve googled her and as far as I can tell she’s someone with no discernible talent other that wearing bikinis and getting lip filler. Quite how that qualifies someone as a celebrity these days I don’t know.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 27/10/2025 15:20

She was convicted in 2019? So why the thread today? This is the second goady thread about benefits ive seen in the past hour

DiscoBob · 27/10/2025 15:19

How do you know what benefits a 'celebrity' is on, and what their exact personal circumstances are? I don't even know that shit about close members of my own family.

If you're that obsessed with the subject contact the DWP. But frankly I'd be more concerned with my own life than that of a complete random. Who happened to have sexy time with some footballer.

Show quote history

If the court convicted her she's presumably had to (or has to) pay it back, over and done with. Not our business.

Some people in the entertainment industry did go through hard times during lockdown, they couldn't get work and weren't rolling in it, same as anyone else.

She may well own a second home with family members but that doesn't mean it was making money and it costs to maintain an empty house.

Don't judge and gossip.
