Ok people. I have spent the week hunting down and contacting others relevant people. I’ve passed the financial side on to two journalists. I thought yesterday that I could write what I had found out officially. However, I’m not willing to put my name anywhere near this. It’s like an in depth episode of Jeremy Kyle and it’s definitely not something I want in my portfolio. I want it off my chest and if I never hear her name again that would be great really.
However, I just want you to know, I did contact her directly via email and got no response.
So here is the information I’ve found out financially.
She barely works with any charities. The most she does is with Arch North Staffs and that is very little. During her first year, she did do some helpful work, all of that is unsurprisingly detailed on her page. But from getting the book deal she has scaled back. She is covered legally to take money from the PayPal account for herself as deep into her website there is a paragraph that says......
(“To do all of this I am asking you guys to donate monthly to the page, so that we have both the time and the funds to keep it all going as it should.”)
She is not working with the charities on the website regularly, or donating. I also checked into if she was still doing the HomeStart work she claimed to be in December. They couldn’t tell me due to data protection and asked me to contact her directly, which of course I did to no response, so I’m going to take a not so wild guess and say that’s rubbish also.
Nothing is registered with the charity commission or company house in her name, the page name, his name, his sisters name or anyone’s name. I even searched variations of the names and nothing showed up.
I would conclude at this point privately and in my opinion (as no one wants to go on record,) that she is collecting funds on the back of work that she doesn’t do and using the herself whilst making small donations now and again. I can’t confirm exactly how much she got from the book, but no proceeds were donated not gift aided (although she did not claim they would be, just something I assumed would happen as a follower.) In basic terms, she blagged her way into a good screw and cleverly made it legal. That said, it’s hugely immoral and unethical.
Her book.
All the names are changed apart from hers and Josh’s (publishing dream, you can write whatever you want, no comebacks.)
It was based on truth but manipulated to make her look like a victim. Whilst the girls Father doesn’t seem like the most innocent of men, she was most certainly culpable for some of things that happened in terms of violence and wrong doing in front of or around the children. It was a violent relationship, not a victim centred relationship. She likes to and has courted drama rather than been dragged into it. Her youngest daughters Father was
tit on from a great height, got dragged through a brutal battle to see the child, albeit for no other reason than he was a decent caring bloke that she didn’t fancy anymore.
There was a time crossover between her and Josh’s relationship and there previous relationships (Which made me furious because not a year into her page she did this huge post about unfaithful partners, as if she had never done it. I mean come on.)
Despite looking hard, I can literally find no trace of Josh’s ex wife. Absolutely none. I can’t confirm what they actually did to her but I could only find her name linked to his name in 2013/14. She is a internet ghost otherwise.
Originally she came from a fairly affluent background and her Dad is still as such. Her Mum was given a rougher ride in the book than she deserved and the ‘my Momma left me’ thing is not entirely true. Her Mum definitely had input on her life and its evident there is heartbreak on her Mums side. Hence the family fall out at the publishing time. Which Rachaele nicely spun off as toxic jealously. Absolutely not the case, she sold them all out.
So in conclusion, she isn’t a lily white character in any way, nor is she ‘a changer of the world’ as she so often title’s herself. She is (much like a previous poster said actually,) manipulative, unscrupulous and immoral. But in easy terms, mugging everyone off completely. Oh also, Josh’s sister possibly benefits also, I can’t prove that, but I’m fairly sure that’s the case.
(On a personal level, the only thing I’d like to know is what the heck happened to Josh’s wife who must have been chewed up and hung out to dry by all involved.)
So that’s me done
. Feel free to screen shot this. If you want to take it to tell others it’s yours. But I have a feeling that Rachaele will carry on with her plans and try to become the British Kardashian’s to be honest. A quite clever schemer who will stop at nothing to get what she wants including using strangers terrible stories
.
That “perfect patchwork life” is literally built on the souls of people who try to get in her way. I’ll stick around, but my work here is done
I hope people catch on sooner rather than later.

(I should say though just so you know, the only reason I went so far into this is because at one time or another in my own life, I could have been one of the people she uses as case studies on her page. (Not for DV, something else. But that’s primarily how she got under my skin. Awful really, just awful)
I just can’t.
