The Chateau Diaries #11 Shat o shenanigans

[Sandton]

So been thinking M created the art work in 2018 for angel and got paid for it.

At some point there was some discussion and she needed to get paper work in check so she could use the work and an amount was paid to M.

in may? 2020 he did a video and showed the finished work in the granny video.

At some point he went into detail on his patreon about how angel screwed him over

October / December some fans indicated a dna on Facebook and Twitter.
He knows his video was going to cause a shit storm. As they have just launched chateau rescue this would be good timing for a scandal like this to drop. And to be picked up by some media outlets? They contact m to get a story. He gives his side again. We got dropped so we decided to do it ourseves and started a successful YouTube channel. We have also just launched a new channel chateau rescue ... clever advertising

m - if that wasn’t your plan all along then do feel free to use that to your advantage. Ps you don’t need to credit me. But a small donation to homeless people would be appreciated.

Staying sexy isn't a crime.

We're not discussing crime just yet, are we. It's what they are using their appeal for that's making them shady, but I take it you're still blinded by it.

Total fail. There were a couple of scruffy survivors before Dan. I don't think they were watered.

The project started in 2017, when she hadn't started vlogging and wheeling in the money she gets now. She probably got a budget deal on some bushes, not in the right time for planting that's why they were cheap. I guess having a moonlight garden wasn't a priority after all.

Why didn't you tell the person on the chat to not give, if you thought it was harmful for them? You could have informed everyone at one time.

Right, like their moderators would allow for such remarks to stay visible. Don't be so gullible to think it's all about kindness and free will, it isn't. Giving to people on the street might be an act of kindness, building a business on lies and delusions certainly isn't.

Whatever happened to Honey? She seemed so generous with her hands in her pocket shouting things all the time - and then she just disappeared without a goodbye, does anybody know?

According to the vlog where they live streamed that awards ceremony, it was said that Hani had needed to go to London for a few days for work, but was planning on coming back. However, once she got to London, there was another lockdown and she was basically unable to return.

After 21 people managed to show up for Christmas dinner, many of which had to cross borders, etc. I don’t really buy that explanation anymore.

@Frances Nicole thank you for finding that.

Are you all happy that you have affected MP like this? Does it bring you satisfaction or victory? Did you cum in your pants because you are hurting another human being anonymously?

Is that what you jealous inconsiderate invisible trolls want for SJ too?

You are haters, and haters will hate. Do you know why nobody sends you gifts? Do you know why nobody buys you coffees?

Because you are nothing special, nobody notices you and nothing incredible will ever happen to you. Do you know why?

it is because of your sour disposition in life.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Hey Aunty Mummy I stand by every critique both serious, tongue in check and disillussioned/angry I have made. To my knowledge except for questions about funding and covid travel, none of the long term Tattlers have written anything on MP2 or SJ's social media, facebook, youtube or patreon accounts. In fact we tried to direct commentary in this thread away from the Pethericks. MP2 must be coming onto Tattle every day AND he has now directed his subscribers here 3 times and SJ at least twice. Why would you do this? None of us are writing disgusting comments on youtube sexualising SJ, Selmar, Philip, Marie, MP2; it is the superfans and they engage in that banter. You haven't read the threads it takes hours to do so, go back and review them. You think it is acceptable that Brenda destroyed Thomaz's reputation? You think it is acceptable that patreon's queries are shut down? You think it is acceptable that Sadie maintained a disgusting racist rant on her social mefia? She is lucky it was found so she could remove it before broader publication. Go away you have been reported for challenging free and open exchange.

I think if SSB is ever investigated by the tax man, she will have a problem. I am not sure what the gift tax threshold is in France, but I am pretty sure she is over it. Moreover, I doubt very much if she is paying sufficient tax on her Patreon or YT income. I'm tired of the claims about the foundation, I don't see how they can pull that off... one needs to have a charitable purpose or be doing something for the common good to qualify.

She is also not allowed use Workaway volunteers for a business, and Selmar's situation with one client is illegal - he should have at least three clients.

As someone said earlier, SSB needs to watch out that she does not end up like Al Capone.

I'm pretty sure she's not supposed to sleep with her volunteers either!

I'm starting to really like Prince Snortalot He is quite unapologetically snorting loudly and giving people a piece of his mind. He is funny, quick witted, eccentric, rolls his eyes like my teenage son, and setting tables is about as far as the talent pushes him. Cleverly he gets out of cooking by not giving a flying monkey's and just pour on the vinegar. He must stay. Selmar gets on well with him, the LOTML needs him, he is like her little escort/court jester.

After all the bitchy passive aggression from Marie, it’s nice to see some naked aggression.

One would consider with your number of degrees you state that you currently hold, you would easily be capable of doing the research for yourself, rather than attempting to gain investment from amateurs.

First of all, Sandro was addressing me. You assume that I am an amateur, based upon what? Do you know me? No, you do not.

I would therefore request that you leave your suppositions about what I am, or am not, out of this thread. It contributes nothing to the discussion. Moreover, your reaction is an ad hominem.

 

[Princess and the Pea]

I like evidence not supposition and wonder if anyone has or can do an analyse of Patrons to see what portion are the type you are worried about. I suspect this will be too difficult to do so speculation will continue. I will reiterate that from my observation of the gift opening majority come from families or moreover from individuals or businesses who want the publicity for their enterprise.
As I am not a Superfan I don't watch the premiers or follow the comments on there or in any of the FB sites.

Nothing stopping you doing it I guess.

I initially was drawn to and life at the Lalande. I liked the idea of daily life, the renovations, sewing, cooking and initially the mix of characters. I never warmed to MPK however and as we were introduced the Trotters, my dislike of the whole bunch of them intensified. Sadly, I think SJ became a victim of her own success and the series has become a parody of the earlier videos.
That is not to say that as we hear more about life behind the scenes, that it is clear that all was not as it appeared. I couldn't ever understand the fervour of the superfans and it is apparent that there are some very desperate, middle aged ladies out there who are seeking to live their days vicariously through SJ, Te Trotters and their various hanger on.
The pleasure. that I initially had is disappearing though - and I find Nicky Storey (Positano Diaries) and other vloggers (not necessarily chateau owners) more satisfyiing. I am enjoying watching a hardworking young couple converting two shipping containers into a family home and another couple building a log cabin in the mountains of Utah. I've started to feel that the Tattlers are more interesting than the vlogs.

Paaaaarfectly put. I also needed a bit of escapism, but I started to lose it when the feeding frenzy of gift opening started. I thought it was sick in a time when people were having hard times because of a pandemic & they were living a fantasy life to most people anyway. I love Nicki Positano & have also watched the Chateau De Montmagner couple who are not remotely slick, but blimey they work hard. I agree that this forum is much more interesting that anything SJ can produce!

This lockdown has given him ample time to advance his work as a designer. Has he done so? Suddenly, he feels upset by an event that happened 2 years ago, which coincides with his lack of content and promotion of a new YouTube channel. He should seriously consider getting some help in getting his mind and own affairs in order. How much longer can he live off his family, without finding a direction in his life? There so much a drone and royalty free music will take him. If he considers himself an artist and designer, he should get to work and have the fruits of his labor do the talking for him, instead of throwing a pity party like a small child. He has amassed a following, what is he going to do with it? What has he got to show for himself? Get help first, man.

As for SJ... well, it won't be long before more people will start seeing for themselves what an empty vessel she truly is.

I think Philip lives there now. He includes all of his household goods with the chateau, and if he were just visiting, I can't think why he would have china sets with him. He bought all those hedgehog cards to send out to his fans.....oh wait, he doesn't have any, so he used them as menus for his dinner service. YES I'm jealous! Maybe I can move in too for a rent free home!

I thought he had the hedgehog cards from the Gift Grab? I recall them talking about the notecards and Philip being anxious to have them. SJ mentioned that he has been busy shopping on Ebay - I imagine his china and cutlery have been sourced since arriving at Lalalande, when he needed to develop his interest to grow a relationship with SJ.

Not sure what sort of nursing home would keep old people cold?

The one with mistress Isabelle in charge?

Now, um, who am I thinking of ,,,,"look at me accompanied by peals of laughter" ...?

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site and just feel so good about venting all my woes concerning CD. Like many of you have said, you can't write anything but syrupy happy thoughts on YT or your post is deleted and you are blocked. I wouldn't be here if CD had taken the path it has. I enjoyed the old vlogs but then things really changed once the money started coming in. Heck, old Beverly Hillbilly reruns are better than the current CD vlogs. The gift grab really did me in. The ridiculous amount of crap people sent accompanied by bad acting of being so surprised and awed was too much. How can a grown woman act so stupid over crocheted shawls and cheap candy? Plus, playing dress up is appealing once or twice a year but it has now become a regular occurrence. It's lost its appeal and now looks like they are all trying way too hard to have something to do and film. And really, isn't SJ getting a little old for this? I do think she has issues with aging. The older she gets, the more childlike she acts. One more dig and I'll shut up. Ditch the mini-dresses! Yuck, yuck, yuck! Especially those floaty things. They only work on thin 13 year old girls and even then they're pretty bad.

 

[Frances Nicole]

From Michael’s comment section. What she mentions is some of what I was referencing previously where some people are obsessed with taking them down.

 

[MojoDublin]

Ps Selma was worth double.

And what would fresh young blood like Philip be worth?

I’d pay for him to leave

I’ll start a go fund me ...

Back to the concerns re heating. I volunteer for the UK National Trust ( oversees and runs heritage buildings) The house i volunteer in was built in 1642 and it is darned cold for most of the year. It has central heating installed but this is controlled not by temperature but by humidity. This is to protect the wood in the house - beams, floorboards, furniture etc. If the humidity is wrong the the wood either expands or contracts. As previous contributor said you can't heat an old property to standards expected in more modern houses. As volunteers we accept this and wear more clothes. The trick is thin layers, sometimes I have 5 layers on.

Steph doesn't live in such a property. The house was completely remodeled in late 19th century and there are no historic wooden elements in the house. Only the timber roof structure in the old part is original.

[chillijam]

i totally don’t get that from tomaz. I think he was young and he saw first hand how crazy fans go mad for sending money and gifts. He claim to have been encouraged by mummy and Gerry to create a YouTube channel. He was naive in going in so strong on the beg straight away. Most other youtubers start get a good following and it happens more naturally. Where he immediately mentioned needing money for a computer etc and it wasn’t a small amount either. That upset a lot of people. He wasn’t as good in front of the camera and his accent didn’t help.

I didn't warm to Tomaz at all, but he's long gone so no need to say more EXCEPT my eyes are still popping at the thought of a relatively young man allegedly taking social media advice from a roughly 60yr and 80yr old!! Really??

In BeeGee's farm, some vloggers are more equal than others... I guess no more Jasmine Pearls Green Tea for MP2. (Now, why would she betray her soulmate? - CD vlog #103)
