I think I can add a bit of perspective. I initially was impressed by her little short story on how she ended up owning a chateau. My demo, 51, still pretty hip, always an early adopter trend-wise, love to decorate and antiques. Always complimented on my style. Always been told I will never be old no matter how old I get. Okay. So back to my initial brainwashing. I thought it was very cool that she had the pluck to do this. I also thought she must have made some money as an opera singer and she had determination. I also thought maybe she was a little bit cash poor, but her partners were helping things along. I was also still under the impression she worked some of the time.
Iām also American and we love us some diy. We donāt have much history over 300 years old. We generally donāt know the ins and outs of living in Europe. So in the beginning Iām very intrigued by all of this. Cut to Stephanie. She seems so down to earth! Not pretentious - she runs around in her housecoat with no makeup on. How refreshing! She must be an open book! This is disarming because she seems to be so happy and optimistic. She must be telling the truth, right? She has so many friends, and all these people volunteer to come help her, she must be really nice. You start to like her because she seems like a lot of fun. You look at the state of the place and you feel a bit sorry for her because she seems to need help. You think, oh Iāll give her a little money, Iād really like to see her fix that crappy courtyard. You find yourself wondering what they got up to since the last video.
You see her thrift shopping - she talks about sewing curtains - she shows old renno pictures and talks about her father dying. Her mom is mowing the lawn. Poor girl, you think, CoVid is going to wreck her business. Sheās so excited to receive things from people and seems really grateful. Some of those things are used or worn even. Youāre getting invested and go back and watch videos from before you found the channel. Cue to a couple weeks or months later, you start to think of her and the others as a friend or company. Just like you do with a TV show (Friends, Sex and the City), only this is cooler, because they are real people. Then, you start to notice thingsā¦ā¦.
Couture gowns come out for a cocktail party (āitās vintageā sure, Vivienne Westwood?!, Versace !?, Manoloās). She took 12 vacations last year? Hmmmm
My father bought me a murano chandelier (huh?!).
BUT, sheās driving a bombed out car left there by a volunteer, sheās giving hotel soap for Christmas presents, sheās begging Potty to buy her art at a gallery.
THEN, sheās going on vacation and staying at a 4 star hotel, and then she goes on vacation, and then she goes on vacation, and then she goes on vacation, and then she goes on vacation, and then she goes on vacationā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
The thing that did it for me was the $200 candle. I was like, what the actual duck lady? After that I watched just to try to figure out what the hell was going on. I am not unfamiliar with the finer things in life. Iād see them pop up now and again and I thought maybe her parents gave her nice presents. Then it became ridiculous and I started to wonder if she was a hooker. Iām not kidding. Really weird men were showing up to party, and when she dressed up she looked like a hooker. She went off with Mason on those trips and I seriously wondered if he was paying her.
Michaelās first crying video sent me straight here. I googled her name and scam and here I am. I came in around thread 19. Thank goodness for Clara, because in as much Iād decided she was full of tit, Clara really laid it out, and itās even worse than I expected.
Sheās no different than a junkie lying to you to get you to fork over some cash because they need a little help. Only in her case she runs off and buys Soleaido and $4000 worth of wallpaper instead of drugs. Oh and she doesnāt ask in person, she uses YouTube to get into your house and ask for money.
I only watch now because I want to see her come apart. I donāt care about that old building. I donāt care about her or her greedy, lying, mother. I like a few of the regulars, but I absolutely hate Snorts.
My only fear is that when we do break her, or she gets caught out, that sheāll just disappear and weāll never get to see it.
So yep, I did, I gave her money and Iām not a granny. I hope it paid for a dinner that gave her diarrhea, or a bottle of liquor that gave her the worst hangover ever.

After watching the latest Chateau Diaries last night, I was appalled. I was a patron but stopped late last year. I was the 20.00 tier. I am also a controller for 10 dental offices. I cannot believe the show she put on last night. In Texas here we have a saying. Lipstick on a pig and that was the entire show.
1. Nothing happening with Chapel. There is a lot of chapels in France, he cannot be the only restorer. She did 3 windows, that took over two years.
2. The pergola should of been done ages ago, like here in Texas we do them in a weekend, and its cheap, used her own wood and Dan and Amaury is doing the work.
3. The Moat, she barely spent $1000 on labor if she spent that much to clear the sides.
4. She was gifted a chicken coop, so no money spent there.
5. She spent money on the tree surgeon, here in Texas we have tall pines and its not cheap.
6. Billy spent 4500 on a Rothchild library, that is going to be nice when set up, she spent 25K on paneling that is coming apart
7. She said she set up a carpentry studio, um no she did not, it was his studio over in England and he brought it over to do the Grand Salon
8. Downstairs loo not done, so stop saying it is
9. The pink bathroom, please tell me that is done, because either they do one piece a tile a day or something.
10. Why start a renovation on that marquis suite where the expensive wallpaper and not have all the materials before you start the job so you can complete something.
11. Do not get me started on that "Wedgewood" room. The people who sell Wedgewood are sick over it I am sure, who glues things to a wall, seriously?
12. What I find funny we were constantly seeing her in her office she created with the freaking peeling wallpaper and now her desk is back in her bedroom, I am sure it is for one of the shows on the DIY or she got to many complaints about how ugly it was and how much she spent on that goofy chandelier and chair/ottoman combo thing.
Last night was like she was talking to her patrons who apparently she things are stupid and will believe anything coming out of her mouth. She just disgusted me last night. Also why not fix up that room you clean dishes in but the damn dumbest thing she said was about the heating. Lady you get 30K a freaking month and you cannot fix your heater and you want to walk around with water bottles like at idiot because you rather spent 4K on ugly ass wallpaper than keep people warm and take care of the Chateau properly
She needs to get rid of her enormous ego and go back to the way she was in the beginning and at like a normal human being. The whole thing disgusted me.
