Welcome to the group. I am interested in your comment regarding knowing about the Women’s Refuge donations but being willing to give Simone another chance. I would love to hear more from you on this. When I found out about the donations I was dubious, I thought surely that can’t be correct, it must be a misunderstanding. However, the more research I did the more it became obvious that it was true. I have read every article on line about this. It is absolutely summed up in Makaia Carr’s statement, which was signed off by Simone’s lawyer that there were no donations before June 2020. Also, in a December 2020 article, Simone tries to defend herself by saying that she had made up packages and given them to charities, implying that she may not have been donating cash but she was donating other items. The reality though, was that during the four years her facebook page was in operation, she was not donating the proceeds from her sales that she said she was. The amount has been estimated at over $200,000 that the Women’s Refuge missed out on.
I know that you are not alone in knowing about the donations and still being willing to give Simone another chance, and I would love to hear your thinking on this.
