I combined thread suggestions from @Lucymarie101 (Anna S...not my wife) and @sunniva (Aria Faccone) because they were both very popular and they fit well together.
I do want to give a shout out to @Xio24 For recapping each chapter of the disaster a book Jonathan has written, see the previous thread (pages 23 to 38)
So instead of a standard recap I've decided to try and capture all of the lies and stupid quotes Jonathan has told in the lead up and after the release of the book (purely because Anna isn't really up to much, probably laying low after the disaster of a launch). Also no doubt I'll have missed one or two, this doesn't go into the lies actually in the book because that'd be too much, please see the previous thread for an in depth discussion of the book
The release:
- Gave himself a 5 star amazon review (has been removed)
- Anna gave him a 5 star amazon review, knew it would be taken down as family can't leave reviews, so changed her name to Aria F (hence the title BTW)
- Lots of 5 star amazon reviews (verified purchase) sound very similar, so how many accounts has Jonathan made and brought a copy from just to boost his ratings
- "Don't read the 1 star reviews because they haven't read it, filter by verified purchase and you can see people who have actually read it"
- He was walking down the street in Dublin and "a random dude" came up behind him holding his umbrella and "grabbed his arse in his lulu lemons" and "gave this guy the fright of his life when Jonathan turned around and have him a stern talking to like he does to the kids when they're in trouble"
- He's not an alcoholic but he started his daily wine at 3pm in his hotel room alone
The "press tour":
The Irish Independent:
- Said they'll never do anything with RTE again after they tricked them with a child psychologist, then went an did an interview with RTE to promote the book (see below for more)
- Recalls when he "had to have a board meeting" with the people at the hospital when they were filming Emilias birth and after the video went live they all came back and hugged them and said "omg we're so sorry"
- Can't remember the name of his boyband from the mid-2000s
"Everything is content"
- He still makes videos on the Saccone-Joly YouTube channel
- “I don’t need friends in my life. I don’t particularly like being around other people that often. But I like being around my invisible friends, because we laugh and joke"
The RTE interview:
- The imaginary friends have always been around and talking to him, despite them disappearing and scaring him at Gatwick in 2016 when they reappeared for the first time in forever
- "Cross-dressing is offensive because how do clothes have gender" while pushing Eduardo to wear girls clothes like dresses and growing his hair long because he picks a jew pronoun for his son every week
- "I want to represent people who don't want a label", "my identity and sexuality aren't related", "I'm going to let other people tell me what they think I am"
- (not a lie but bleeping funny and worth a mention) "I don't have a job to be fired from, I don't have friends to lose"
- "I haven't let my family read it", then a few minutes later "They've read it, the book brought us close together, they might have listened to the audiobook", basically he has no idea if they've read the book but he wants to prove that the book isn't damaging
- "If people like this book I would like to tell the rest of the story" (this was his response to the question have you received any psychological help to help understand it all)
- "I was emotionally intelligent for a boy for a kid, I have sons and I can see the difference between my sons and daughters" he's forgotten sensitive Eduardo he's been pushing to be a girl for over a year
- "I spent a while in therapy" except he doesn't believe in therapy and has historically said he had one therapy session and "felt better" so never went back
- "I can talk from an observing point of view, I am not Eduardo" yeah look at your Instagram, that's not an observing point of view, you are living your life through him "I can't answer for Eduardo"
- "We don't do YouTube anymore, we quit YouTube a year ago" (yet still scams his minions by charging them a monthly fee for the hope of getting exclusive content)
- He doesn't let Emilia go bowling with her friends because everyone knows who she is, but they "shut down Disney so she can meet Elsa so isn't it all worth it"
He also went on Irish AM (morning TV) on Sunday morning, but I can't view the clip anywhere, though one guy on twitter thought he looked like a Mexican cartel member.
