I don’t know Crystal from a bar of soap but my gut feeling agrees with everything you say, As do quite a few of the tattlers who comment on her here. Radars are going off everywhere.
Definitely not the normal situation here now on tattle. There is something bigger going on. Where is the family and friends?????

I am somewhat reassured (at least about her safety) atm because she has her old friend visiting but I was checking out some of her older posts and this friend is apparently religious as well so I’m not sure how much of a reality check she is going to offer her.

I don’t feel comfortable repeating the allegations that have swirled around Tamworth as she has never publicly come out and said it, and due to the state of her mental health at the moment (I know it’s a gossip site but I don’t think it’s fair I repeat it).

I will say what she has said on Instagram and you can pretty much read between the lines.
Break down of the relationship with ex husband, him taking over the business and Instagram page she worked really hard for, her spending a night in jail, and then in a psychiatric ward. The kids were subsequently taken from her due to this. Why would someone spend a night in jail which would lead to then being treated in a psyc ward?

I’m just genuinely concerned for her and really wish she would take her mental health seriously. If she has been capable of that in the past then what is to say it can’t happen again? as it seems to me she is leaving her mental health in gods hands at the moment.

I mean, if we’re speculating here, the psych ward on its own could have indicated something like psychotic hallucinations (schizophrenia kind of stuff) or even a suicide attempt. But since she went to jail first I’m assuming that means that she was also a danger to others or property? The combination of possibilities to fit that scenario are endless.

Ha ha…I agree, ‘twas a rhetorical question

It wasn’t a suicide attempt.
In all honesty, I just came on here in hope that her family would read this and see that people who know her are seeing these red flags and are really concerned for her at the moment. Mental illness is so serious and left untreated can be devastating. I know she is probably brushing it off at the moment but there’s a reason so many strangers get together on this site to talk about her because her behaviour is seriously concerning.

After saying she'd be "back in Feb" 2,587 times, isn't she the least bit embarrassed that she just couldn't do it?! I'm (almost) embarrassed for her!!

It's downright creepy that she makes it sound like she said it'd only be 48 hours she "switched off" like she promised herself she would. She definitely has an addiction to SM & it's not healthy for her or her boys.

If I was going to have my guess from everything on insta, I would say there was a major meltdown when marriage broke down. A somewhat violent episode happened which was serious enough to get her in jail for the night and then transferred into mental health.
Losing the kids over it would have been dreadful. I think she is struggling with manic episodes which have somewhat worked for her while she didn’t have her kids. It has led to a number of not normal decisions and over sharing on social media which of course is going to get attention.
I really hope she takes the month off social media properly, and family and friends can help her get the help she needs. Real therapy to get over her trauma, and some mood stabilizers. It would be nice to see her turn it around, especially for those boys.

I had a look at her old socials. Her own versions of events are contradictory.
What I can piece together from her own posts is as follows:
The second marriage broke down in 2017. In February 2018 she gave the oldest boy back to his dad because she didn’t want to raise both kids on her own (she said this.) In May 2018 she was arrested. (This next information is not directly from her mouth but from her brother’s GFM for her, which she linked several weeks after the fact asking for donations) She was arrested in her store for “accusations made by her ex-husband” at which point she was also locked out of the business and couldn’t see the youngest son for a couple of months, then lost custody. (Whatever these accusations were they had to be serious criminal accusations for her to be arrested over them. Related to the business or personal, who knows?) In the following weeks she posted a cryptic post about someone being a psychopath trying to destroy her life, claimed the family laws were unfair, the whole situation was all very unfair to her. Intrestingly in early 2021 she had a different version of events where she says she “spent the night in a mental ward, and day in a jail cell and a few days in rehabilitation because I tried to end my life several times”, insinuating that these supposed suicide attempts were the reason for the arrest. Doesn’t make sense and is a direct contradiction to what her brother said. Although I guess it’s possible that she attempted to harm herself while in jail but, again, her framing of the situation is apparently a fabrication based on the brother’s contemporaneous account. Just in the past few months she has spinned it again claiming that she had a breakdown and had everything taken from her overnight because she was simply overworked from taking on too much.
So obviously the truth is a moving target in her world. Each time she re-tells it it is a different story.

Yes- as one tattler put it- she is very loosey goosey with the truth. That alone will get you a tattle thread.

Didn't she say on at least one occasion that she didn't want to be a mother? It's her sons I feel most sad for.

Yes, she did! She posted about it MANY times in these old posts and it made me nauseous every time I read it. That she kept putting that out there in public and elaborating on it is pretty fucking disgusting if you ask me. Especially knowing full well her children would read it eventually. She is so toxic.

You know, the other thing that is really kind of disgusting is how she keeps going on about how she’s been all alone in the world for the last 5 years. Well, she certainly had enough people that loved and supported her to pay for the very expensive, extensive legal bills she couldn’t afford since the GFM only raised $3,000. Probably her family. And then somehow she came up with enough money afterwards to rent an expensive apartment on the cliffs in Bondi, flit off to Bali for 6 months, buy a new car, buy and fit out a bell tent to play boho camper when she had a perfectly good bedroom to sleep in at her parent’s house, buy materials to create an “outdoor bathroom” and a “beach club” in their back yard, secure a lease on a commercial property and then spend $30,000 to fit it out and buy merchandise for it. All of this stuff is really expensive, someone had to give her the money for it. She had no money and her credit had to have been completely wrecked after the business failed. And then to insult her family that way by claiming she was all alone. SMH.

Yes, she is clearly unwell right now. But between never having made a modicum of effort for her kids and pissing all over the people that dig her out of her shit all the time she really sounds like she’s always been a selfish, self-consumed piece of work.

NOTE the timeline - she gave up custody of her oldest because she “didn’t want to live in a studio apartment” with both children and yet six months later she managed to rent the expensive apartment on the cliffs in Bondi. Now how the fuck does that work??

Just came across this gem about Crystal that was mixed in with the Lie-la yearly recap @DaisyNZ started for us (thx again!), since of course she'd moved in with her in April (I didn't remember the month, I was thinking it was later). I'd forgotten this tidbit though & zoomed in & cropped it to share.

Wow. What is going on? So much to unwrap here. First and foremost Crystal can you please just focus on your kids during your break/not break, you are their support system not the other way around!

You can’t raise happy well adjusted kids as a solo parent and have a healthy relationship with them down the track if you are constantly chasing chaos. I know this first hand. Doesn’t mean you can’t be creative! There’s a big difference.

Also, posting cray stories on your biz account isn’t going to help anything. There’s a reason Bunnings, the curtain company, Fish Heads aren’t tagging you! Get some professional mental help, own your shit and get yourself some local clients. Gonna need to tighten up your act if you want 2023 to be your best year ever.

But it's not her. It's Jezabel and the dark spirits.

It is. This is more than just being a fuckwit like Leila. I mean, there is definitely some fuckwit in there, but the rest needs sorting out ASAP
Religion, grandious misinterpretation of 'signs', seeing dark/light spirits, believing she can see the devil in people's instagram posts that she's never met, constantly talking about herself. Definitely something off.

Yes. It goes way beyond the look at me, look at me, poor me, selfish scamming delusional narcissism we’ve come to expect from Leila. Leila couldn’t keep up with old BFF Crystal. She was way too lazy.
This feels like mania. Bring on the actual real friend and family support and professional help.

And yet more Instagram…..
When she tells us that candles and curtains make it a home….. all I see is the fire danger of this with a distracted adult and 7 kids in the house!
