And credit to @dontcome@me for the summary (I can’t work out how to do a wiki)


WIKI Shannen Joyce.
Thought it would be great to put together all the research and a timeline to package it up nicely for any new readers here since Tea spill or to package it up nicely for the media to pick it up and run a story on:

2019 - mid 2020
Shannen gets cancer for the second time. Starts an Insta page (the big c and me) because she wants to share her journey and help people.
Gets shared on Galz who snap, by the likes of Sue, Rosie and Grace - her following gets up to about 10k. She gets a Late Late Show appearance, a Voduz brand ambassador gig, radio and media attention and is the face of an Irish Cancer Society campaign. Her and Barry start a podcast. She’s getting a taste of the spotlight and the freebies from being in the spotlight.

Early- mid June 2020
First up was Shannen’s multiple attempts at creating drama to gain sympathy and boost following. Her first attempt was coming on ranting about “trolling”, saying she got a couple of nasty messages - she got shared by a couple of the influencer gang (outrage that poor Shannen the cancer victim was being trolled, go over and follow her to support her etc.) but didn’t quite gain the traction that Shannen needed to grow her numbers. Only got her from just under 10k to around 14k in a week.

June 30
Cork cancer survivor sent babygrows by 'sick troll' mocking her infertility
The Youghal woman, who promotes cancer charities and raises awareness on her Instagram page, said she suspected a cruel troll was mocking the fact that she can't have any more kids

www.corkbeo.ie


Only 2-3 weeks later - she needed to think bigger - the golden ticket scam, pretending she got sent babygrows. Came on stories first playing dumb laughing saying I don’t why someone sent me these. Then within a few hours she was on crying saying someone random had sent her a dm saying “it’s a pity you’ll never get to use them”. Dramatics of her saying she wouldn’t be on social media for a while. However - no explanation of how some supposed random troll would’ve got her private home address. Remember she wasn’t an influencer at this stage. Got media coverage due to big outrage from some of the big influencers like MRS who came on her stories bawling about how awful it was, poor Shannen being trolled. Her followers started to really grow.

7 July 2020



‘Here we go again’ - campaigner Shannen Joyce (25) reveals her cancer has returned for third time
Instagram influencer and campaigner Shannen Joyce (25) has revealed that her cancer has returned for the third time.

m.independent.ie


Less than a week later, she dropped the news that she had relapsed publicly (which she would have known all the time the baby vest saga was ongoing). Then she gets propelled to the 100k mark in a matter of 2-3 weeks.

July 8 2020 - 1 day later! the famous GFM
Then her instagram friend Ciaran Byrne (had they ever even met in person) launched the GFM straight away (knee jerk reaction) before Shannen even knew for sure what her treatment was even going to be! Initial goal amount set at €10,000 - we all know the story, claimed it was needed for treatment and living expenses. However, within only a few days it had exploded to over €100k. Shannen came on saying it was going to be closed however it wasn’t closed for another few days and left climb up to €175k along with other public fundraisers (Voduz etc.) and private local fundraisers and private donations that there wouldn’t be any public record of. Safe to assume she got over €200k total easily.

Late July/August 2020
Within only a couple of weeks of the GFM, there was a fairly new car purchased as well as numerous hotel breaks away to places like the Castlemartyr resort. People started to raise eyebrows already about what the money was being used.

I could keep going but it’s all documented in these threads. Shannen’s treatment was all free, she could’ve used a free apartment in Dublin supplied by the hospital. The apartment that she needed to rent for 6-9 months was only rented for 3-4 months and in fact if they stayed in it for a month in total it would’ve been a lot as she was released from hospital and left go home to Youghal very quickly and then they were only staying in 1 night a week or a fortnight when they were coming to Dublin for appointments.
Her Dad was driving her to all the appointments (Where was the new car that had to be bought for all the trips to Dublin and where was Barry who they needed the money for to be off work taking her!?)

In the meantime, Shannen continues to try and be an influencer and gets signed to an agency in August 2021.

Shannen then gave an update in January 2021, available to view on the GFM - only because people were talking here on Tattle and I think because she was blocking anyone who commented or messaged her asking her about the GFM, people started to contact the Byrnes who were the instigators of the GFM. Shannen was shamed into giving an update on the page. Made a statement that she would keep the money until January 2022 in case of relapse and then donate it. No evidence of any donations made to date.

Shannen in the mean time trying to make it as an influencer. Lived very carelessly as a post cancer and transplant patient during COVID, money being splashed on runners, Nike jumpers, eyelash extensions, nights away, nights out. Bold as brass refusing to be accountable or answerable about the GFM.

Which leads us to now. The traction is building and people have had enough of Shannen. She’s losing followers. She’s been called out by Tea Spill. Her agency look to have dropped her. She was highlighted for abusing a terminally ill cancer patient for asking about the GFM.

I would love to see the Irish media put spotlight on how the unregulated Go Fund Mes have to stop in this country. Shannen is the absolute worst example of it but there are many more. Irish people are too trusting and generous. This girl is literally the reason many of us on here will never donate to go fund mes again. That’s her legacy.

Also - can I just add that the Tattle thread is now the 4th top Google result when you Google Shannen Joyce. Well done everyone, let’s ensure anyone Googling this scamming piece of work finds these threads so she can’t pull the wool over anyone’s eyes anymore. So include her full name as much as you can - especially in the thread titles.

Just adding to this brilliant Wiki that was already here.

Feb 2022
Still no donations made to any charity , dropped by her agency not only for her deplorable comments to Missy but her overall handling of the situation ie. throwing a major tantrum on the gram. Turns her page to private no messages of support from her fellow instahuns.


March 22

Back again question boxes galore will answer everything she said answered nothing.

Missy gets messages from Exposing TSpill page accusing her of being TSpill. Liz Reaney gets the same

May 2022

Asking for help to gain more followers.

Suddenly……… she finds a lump off to St James she goes asking for candles prayers while she sits first class on the train.
Whew it’s all ok a reg had a good feel and it’s nothing to be worried about. Her pain however is horrendous and will need pain management.

Following week up to Dublin again to meet friends to record a podcast didn’t bother going home stayed drinking all night. PS no pain management needed

June 2022

Podcast is aired
Accused Tattle of saying ‘they hope her chemo doesn’t work’
Reading on tattle made her loose weight that she couldn’t get her full dose of chemo.
Accused Missy of sending abusive messages.
However no evidence as Missy blocked her
Not True She Blocked Missy
First time going public!!!!
Story picked up by RSVP and other radio platforms on FB
Missy Brenda goes public and tries to share her side dirty deletes done by RSVP
Brenda’s post gains a lot of traction and is deleted but not before Shannen goes public.

2nd Time going Public

All hell breaks loose as she’s attending the very expensive concerts she bought tickets for 3 so far in a week
TSpill outs her for being the name, face and keyboard warrior behind the Exposing T Spill account which she denies of course.

Now going public for the first time Noooooo the third time. She accuses Missy of abusive messages shared the screenshots we had already seen the very same screenshots she lied about last week that she had no access to as Missy blocked her lie lie lie.
Says she can’t sleep but showed a picture the day before of a great sleep lie lie lie
Says Missy said she never apologised Missy did lie lie lie.

More importantly The absolute love respect and kindness shown to Missy on this thread during this awful time when she’s in the most horrendous situation only goes to show what kind of Tattlers we are.

Still no response on the GFM.

I will attach any images below for the newbies


Brenda message and Shannens response

That child is a complete madam but she didn't get it from the wind her mother is so cheeky and such a chancer.

Why is she apologising for being quiet? Wasn't she off in Waterford at Santa not a bother on her. Didn't seem too anxious or worried then, nor when she was blagging for a free TV or free hotel in Cork.

I am in an Oncology ward, 3 of us between 25 and 45, young women all terminal, no go funds, you know what we want? To get home safely and wear Christmas pyjamas, drink not chocolate, spend time with family, and hope against hope that we get as much extra time as possible, all our families also take necessary precautions so we can spend time together. Covid is a huge factor in every decision we make.

I cannot understand her Blaise attitude especially with surgery approaching so fast, I had 2 Covid tests last week, I wouldn't have been able to get necessary treatment if I had it.

I will get my strength back when my body recovers from having no chemo pumped into me and I will continue to ensure that Shannen is held accountable. All I can say is……watch this space……I’m a fighter and I am determined to see this through. And I know I have so much support here 💕💕💕

So. I have the scoop . Barry's family were receiving messages at all hours of the day and night in relation to shannens gfm. The pressure built and he gave shannen the ultimatum of him or sm. She deleted her socials for a few weeks and then they tried to make it work. He then confirmed he just wasn't in love with her anymore and that they'd been through too much and the fun could never come back after that. It was a lot to do with her wanting another baby and him terrified of her cancer coming back again that really confirmed it for him. She then flipped out and claimed that he didn't want her to be happy or successful and that sm is her job 🙈😵💫 she came back to socials and it put the nail in the coffin. Barry is still helping her re rent. For how long it will last idk. Poor little roisin.

People here can be very cruel and heartless at times. I sincerely hope she’s ok, it wouldn’t be good at all to have to battle cancer a fourth time. Whatever is up I doubt it’s good news
Hi New Member, Shannen the scammer has been fairly cruel herself at times.... she took nearly 200k in donations under false pretenses, and is spending it however she pleases.... i dont think anyone on here wishes her, or anyone ill health, why would they? Shannen is very fond of "finding a lump" here or there, then "going for tests" breadcrumbing that shes having a re lapse, and never mentioning it again! Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf???

There was someone on a thread here she’s back that got their money back. Anyone know who? Spoke to my friends in our WhatsApp group and all 5 of us have decided to request our money back. In total she would have made €380 from me & my bridesmaid group (married ages just never changed the group name 🤣). As my hubby worked with Barry I was feeling so helpless at the time and asked my friends to donate and share. We will do what we have to to get that money back and meet up for lunch with it.

I’ll just say a couple of things Shannen:
1. I stated from the beginning that you had apologised but because you blocked me I couldn’t access thevmessages

2. The reason I had to set up a fake account was because you blocked me last year when I questioned you about the GFM

3. You STILL haven’t gotten it into your head that I’m not out to hurt you I just want to know like everyone else WHERE IS THE MONEY FROM THE GFM?

And lastly

4. KARMA Shannen

I think I’m going to have to unfollow her. I followed her at the start when I was diagnosed. The longer that goes on I find her totally unrelatable and the stuff she says at times are very unrealistic for cancer patients. I know she’s been saying she’s had a hard time this week which I understand, but more often that not she comes across unbearingly positive, which at times makes me (and probably other cancer patients) feel crap cos i can’t be that positive all the time.
Sending love.

Its not normal. I was in the absolute pits during treatment. Sick every day, barely looked at my children, argued with my husband every day because I wouldn't eat as I was so ill. What an absolute shite time. It was traumatic. My cancer is incurable but I'm currently enjoying a treatment free period. Its only now I have a tiny bit of positivity. Was still crying on Thursday night thinking about what I'm going to miss with my kids as they grow, though.

Look whether or not her page is on pause or going to be permanently deleted doesn’t really matter……if I hadn’t posted the messages here a few weeks ago she would still have her original page and at the end of the day some justice has been served.
She has ‘paused’ her page because of the backlash. She has been dropped by her agency. She I presume has lost contracts like Gymondo etc. Everything she didn’t want to happen when she begged Tea Spill in her pathetic and slanderous message has happened.
She still has her followers and people calling us trolls on her farewell post (which if I’m being honest really hurt and upset me) I am not a troll…I asked a very valid question and what followed could actually give me a case for defamation……but in terms of working with brands etc. I would guess her name is muck. And if it isn’t and she pops up in the future with some kind of collab or loungewear or whatever I know I won’t be alone ensuring they are sent the screenshots of the messages to me and Tea Spill.
I won’t give up until I have to for health reasons………and that is a promise 💕💕

Oh and I forgot to say……because I’m sure your reading here Shannen……an apology from you was never going to happen given the kind of individual you are but as I said in my last DM to you before you blocked me……you are a disgrace to everyone who has battled and is still battling cancer with grace and dignity and not using it to make money

Hi Shannen, thanks for your message on Instagram. You’ve blocked me before I got to open your message but I did manage to see it pop up. So I’m unable to reply to you. Your 2nd message popped up asking if I wanted to talk 🤣🤣🤣, no thanks. Yes, I messaged the salon, (says a lot about them that they shared my message to them about you, but at least they known-what they’re dealing with) and yes I’ve messaged other companies you’re working with, and yes I will continue to do so. I haven’t told them anything that your message to @Missymeister didn’t already say about you. Yes, I’ve plenty of time on my hands.
you do too, so maybe take this time to compose yourself and explain to people where the money is gone. While you’re at it, an apology to that poor lady that you were so horrific to wouldn’t go a miss.
have a nice day.

I’m genuinely shocked over Shannen she always came across like little Miss Sweet on her stories , my opinion has been really changed. To the lady here who shared her story I’m so sorry you are going through hell and had to also deal with this. Sending love and is tattlers stick together if you ever need someone to chat to we are always here.
Thanks so much I’m so upset tonight tbh……I’m shaking.

She also asked Tea Spill not to ruin her career as Instagram is now her full time job…… I have no words 😢

I don't follow her anymore so I have no idea what her latest antics are. I had cancer at the same time as her second bout of cancer. We messaged a few times, she seemed sweet, nice. I have since unfortunately been rediagnosed as terminal and I find her whole story jarring. Her demeanor has changed so much. She is so smug and full of it. I hope people who are newly diagnosed don't think she is a reflection of what cancer is like. Texting her consultant in the middle of the night??? The thing I find utterly bizarre is the lack of Covid precautions. Before treatment I get three texts telling me not to attend if I am symptomatic, I am so aware of the dangers for nursing staff it makes me extra cautious, I can't get over the amount of contacts she has. Also cancer care is free in Ireland and she has private health insurance and is curable so she does not need money for foreign travel for trials, so what is the money for? So many young terminal mother's struggling to raise 20-40K highlight on their pages constantly what their money is being used for and why it's so helpful eg worthfighting4. It is hard to watch her flaunting her excess cash with no gratitude or regard. It's not her fault, the Kenny's set it up and should have pulled the plug sooner. I just wish she would show an ounce of grace or class or gratitude but she just comes across as utterly self obsessed. The night on the late late was creepy too, she was thrilled to be famous for having cancer. It is definitely a trend and seems to be a new career path, Georgie Crawford, Rachel Gorry, Denise and Ciaran Kenny, all creating careers from their cancer stories under the guise of helping others, but it's patently driven by self promotion.
