So Percy has to babysit a total stranger and his nostril.Maybe the reunion with mini apron didn't go well and she retired to her room early or maybe it was the free booze in business class?

title nomination.SJ's official diagnosis is dipshititis with chronic assholism.
Maybe complicated by Stephiils - characterised by the need to flash at every opportunity.title nomination.
This is enlightening. Thank you for posting, and sharing. I think that it is right on.Hello Tattlers! Long time lurker here, first time poster.
I came accross the CD at the beginning of the pandemic, through the DIY chanel, when Stephanie was presented as Madam Mystery in their end of vlog sketch: My first opinion was “what an eccentric woman. I like her! What kind of world does she live in? I wish I could spend quarantine in a castle; let’s see what her life is like”. And I was hooked! I fell under Stephanie’s spell and charm. Today, I finally feel like I have something to contribute and I am very curious in hearing your thoughts. Thank you for bearing with me.
A little about me, I am a millennial from Canada that has spent have spent the better part of what little free time I have over the two last years completely enthralled with CD and have watched the entire channel. I loved the castle and I adored Stephanie. She really made me feel like I was a part of her inner circle; she has a way of reeling you in. Things started feeling off for me when she began the Cadeau Unwrapped Channel. Until then, I hadn’t really cared that she was always on vacation and not so focused on the chateau, but over time, something started to feel off about her vapid responses to everything and her insatiable need for attention and validation
Stephanie reminded me of my best friend who has histrionic personality disorder (HPD). So, I looked up “chateau diaries stephanie histrionic disorder” online to see if someone else had came to the same conclusion as me and I found this site. However, the only mention of a disorder for Stephanie on this forum was eating related, but not HPD.
I used the search function and it really doesn’t appear that this has been explored, but if it has, I am sorry for bringing it up again. In sum, Histrionic Personality Disorder is from the Cluster B of personality disorders: Antisocial, Narcissistic, Bordeline, and Histrionic. It is common of children(notably women) of narcissistic parents (IJ seems a likely narcissist, and many here agree on this already I’ve seen).
I feel like the more people who know of this, the less people will get caught up her love bombing and her theatrics, and the better chance she has of getting the help she needs. She is unwell, deeply sad and depressed, and it is causing so much harm in her personal relationships and all those around her. Personally, it was such a relief to finally understand why I was suffering in my relationship with my best friend who has HPD and I hope others can find some relief as well from understanding why Steph is the way she is. If anyone is closed to Stephanie and is reading this, spread the word, please.
So here we go:
The American Psychiatric Association diagnoses a personality as being histrionic if it has at least five of the following traits
I think you will find that Stephanie checks every box.
- A compulsion to be the center of attention that results in discomfort if unmet
- Inappropriate sexual, seductive or provocative behavior when interacting with others
- Shallow, rapidly shifting emotions
- The use of physical appearance to draw others’ attention
- Dramatic, impressionistic speech that lacks detail
- Exaggerated, theatrical emotional expression
- Easily influenced by others or situations
- Assumes relationships are more intimate than they are
Sorry for the long post! I wanted to be polite and introduce the whole context so thank you for reading this far!
What do you think fellow tattlers? Is this way off?
oh mah god!!! thats so good! hahaI nomite the Lalande couple to be labelled as Stephyllis.
Sounds like a venereal disease, doesn't it?
Watching Stephyllis feels as pleasant as a VD.

Michael Potts and his family were there and Stephanie's father built a house near by at the beach. After her husband's death Isabelle met Percy on a plane. She said her daughter had a farm in France and he called and asked to visit. The rest is history.

@Lolo Dee For quite awile Stephanie's dad worked on the Chateau. He did alot of the work. Did not know she lived in SA with her husband Mr Jarvis. ( They owned a Nursng home in England for peole with Alzheimers (as she and Mr Jarivs both were RN's as specialist anyway into Psyciatric nursiing. They felt people being in a nice surroundings could do better) Did not know anything about another home there, just that she met Percy online and she moved there to be with him,( after they married,) and when she was able to be free of the pandemic shut downs, as Percy was in SA and she was at the Chateau for awhile, as Percy left first. But the Pandemic kept her at Chateau awhile more. Finally she did get to go to be with him, but then of course the Pandemc was giving problems again. So she was not able to come back last Summer to visit Stephanie. Now Stephanie and Philip and Gerald will finally all get to visit! them in SA. But that is how I understood how this was. i rememer the wedding between Isabelle and Percy at the Chapel at the Chateau, it was lovely!! One of the sons of he Marquis family is a priest and he came to do the wedding ceremony. He grew up at the Chateau. Reception followed outside. MrJarvis and Isabelle sold the nursing home. They helped with Stephanie finding this Chateau de LaLande. He worked on it, (Of course she is in partnerships too with a couple friends) but her dad did pass on during this time. Did not know they wer in SA in their own home? Never did undserstand that part? But she is living with Percy in his home there. I supposed should say, both of them, as they both would probably own this home in the end?

What big Edie did to little Edie was so wrong. She stole her life from her. Little Edie was beautiful.
Fanny and BJJ are both Hyacinth Bucket’s“Working class habits?” . Anne Marie smokes so what the heck do they think that is? Do you have any triple checked background on PHiPhi you can share? Do any of his people have money? Hard to tell because he’s always shopping at the charity shop.
I just have this little nugget to get off my chest. For people to feel superior because they have access to money that they did not themselves earn is just oxymoronic. You should feel less-than in my opinion, because you are not self made. If, however, you take that money and grow it, then fine, but you had an advantage in having access to capital. But to sit on your ass and cash checks on money someone else earned is nothing to feel superior about, unless you’re vapid.
more like mrs bucket and sheeeeraaaadonnnn!Fanny and BJJ are both Hyacinth Bucket’s
Agreed, it is a dollhouse that really has no use for anyone else.Unsustainable is the perfect word to describe her behavior and the decisions she's responsible for. She clearly does not want to save the shittoo, but turn it into her private Barbie dollhouse. Welcome by the way!
Not to mention a house in England. So that's 3 properties for IJ and 2/3 for SJ. Yes... they really are hard up. Why not send them some money poor dears.Wait until they figure out that mummeee also have an apartment in the south of France.....
OMG... The surpefans are completely lost in Lalande tales !!! But they would swear they know the Truth !Carol Weaver

Fair enough!Not Stephending but SJ has been diagnosed here with everything from thyroid disease to ectopic pregnancies, and various mental disorders with may or may not be the case. We only see small clips of what she’s like and of course your going to be “on” if you’r vloging or you’ll end up with videos as dull as Dulmars
Thank you for the kind welcome I have a feeling that StephaMe will never get herself some help in the end, as long as she is getting her fix, she won’t take that initiative herself. Not until her HMN crumbles to the ground and everyone she counts one has turned their backs. My friend is one of the lucky ones who is getting therapy, but they can’t all win.Hi! And welcome, obviously, it's fabulous to hear that a former fan has seen the light as it all counts towards the final exposure of who she really is. I am in no way capable to give a diagnosis of what is actually wrong with SJ, I just know a lot is wrong. You might be perfectly right and she sure seems to tick all the boxes, like you say. But unless someone closer to SJ cares enough to get her to a doctor who actually can diagnose her, nothing will happen with this knowledge. I agree with you she is unwell, deeply sad and depressed, but also: she sure knows to use this all for her financial benefit.
Doesn't she still own a house in England too ? Not far from Gerry's ? Or am I lost myself with all their properties ?Wait until they figure out that mummeee also have an apartment in the south of France.....
