Donations go to the change(dot)org site, not the petition starter?

ChonkyDonkey · 07/10/2022 19:33

Judging by the amounts that people are donating, I don't think they realise it doesn't go to the petitioner, but goes towards promoting the petition.

BabbleBee · 07/10/2022 19:33

I’ve just looked at the Reddit thread. It links to her Airbnb page, so her home address is in the public domain not just on Airbnb but now being widely discussed on multiple forums. That’s dodgy, no?

Soubriquet · 07/10/2022 19:41

So it gets more and more twisted

Wcc · 07/10/2022 19:59

Donations on change go to change to promote the petition. She did sell packages upwards of 100 euros on her shop, to people though that are now saying she isn't replying.

@Doingprettywellthanks

You were right!

CrocodilesCry · 07/10/2022 20:28

It's an absolute fabrication. There was no lawsuit. There's potentially many other things that didn't happen either and "Jade" is known by multiple names to various people across the UK and Ireland.
Lots going on behind the scenes involving various arts charities and organisations, but it's not going to end well.

Being a disabked Mother eith a severkey multi dusabked child. I am just disgusted with this story. The hirruble people trying to bring this claim need ti be named & shamed now. And as for the Air b & b they need to apologise now to her and give her compensation fir all the upset they have caused.

I think you may be even more angry once you read the thread and see what is actually going on.

Is there any possibility that you could type comments with punctuation? It makes comments much more readable.

Don't be mean. It's fairly easy to follow without punctuation and if they haven't used punctuation, they perhaps just type that way. And regardless, the whole thing is a massive crock. It didn't happen.

bringincrazyback · 07/10/2022 22:29

What I can't understand is that she's revealed her face online and allowed people to find out her address, why would someone do that if it was a hoax/scam? Not saying I still believe her story - at this stage it's really hard to understand what's gone on here - but she's identified herself publicly and can surely be done for fraud if donations have been sent iro her petition? The whole thing is just utterly bizarre.

It's not necessarily about financial gain - people crave attention. There are also many people who have paid for sensory aids.

DysonSpheres · 08/10/2022 00:27

People like this are dangerous, they are able to adopt a whole persona and literally shed their old one like a snake does. Because there is nothing authentic about them. Nothing.

She could even have posted on this very thread which is about her for the sake of driving attention to her fake cause.

I caved and downloaded tiktok and found comments and videos from people saying they're waiting on a zoom call 🤷‍♀️ with her to finalise the things they've paid for. zoom fall is probably to shake more money from them.

Someone needs to put a stop to it. Where's daily failing when you actually want it to run a story?

ihopeyourehappynow · 08/10/2022 14:16

I went down a rabbit hole with this the other day and so many things didn't add up I annoyed myself for being sucked in; I'm glad it's come to light now that this is a work of fiction - I just hope for attention and no one has been scammed.

There is now a statement on "her" website - 1820things. The lady doth protest too much, methinks....

My name is Carrie Jade Williams and I am writing this on the advice of my legal team. I am an entirely separate individual to my sister whose mental health past has been dragged into my life as an attempt to discredit my advocacy work.
It is illegal and defamation to attempt to suggest that my sisters past is mine, when I am an entirely different individual. Legal steps have already been undertaken to stop this illegal defamation. I am an entirely separate individual and appalled that internet trolls have attempted to discredit my advocacy by bringing my sisters past and suggesting I am she. This mixing of people’s lives is defamation.
I am my own, individual person.
I was not aware of the full history of my sister’s mental health difficulties, though we support and love her. She has moved her life onwards and not had any legal trouble in nearly a decade. I will not be providing any further comment on my sister, due to the threats received.
I stand in support of all those with mental health difficulties. My sister has had a long history of mental health difficulties and is suffering due to internet trolls attacking both of us. Internet platforms need to urgently take steps to ensure their platforms are not used to defame individuals and their families. I am not my sister and although we look similar (like many families) I am older and heavier. We live in separate locations and lead separate lives. It is defamatory to suggest that we are the same people when we are in fact separate individuals. Anyone suggesting we are the same individual will face the full force of the law.
To any of those of you looking to cancel orders (which I take no profit from) please email [email protected]m_ and we will arrange for a refund through stripe.
We ask for peace and quiet during this devastating time for me to mind my sister and take the legal steps to protect my reputation, as per the law.

🤔 it really would be shit for her if that Samantha woman is actually her sister and not her under a different name

Bloodybridget · 08/10/2022 14:26

That statement looks like a load of tosh.

JemimaTab · 08/10/2022 14:44

No lawyer has been anywhere near that statement, or would sanction it. It’s badly written and raises more questions than it answers.

Wcc · 08/10/2022 14:50

Straight from the scammy lying grifter playbook, start threatening legal action from a made up legal team.

reesewithoutaspoon · 08/10/2022 14:50

Didnt she claim to be adopted.

It does sound odd. The amount of times she states that she’s an entirely separate and different individual - can one even be a “not entirely” separate individual?

Yes, it was in the article about the Netflix documentary, presumably to shush any questions regarding the Huntington's Disease diagnosis.

QuebecBagnet · 08/10/2022 16:50

Yes, she did say she was adopted. I mean maybe her sister was adopted with her but what are the chances she and her sister have moles in identical places in an identical pattern on their necks?
