How did she manage to get the current flat in London?? She sold her other one to buy the Chateau with Nick....so what's up with this second London flat? Flats in London arent cheap and she said in her chateau finances video, she never even broke even until this year!?
There is endless money for shopping and vacations but not for the Château bills. And her parents somehow became millionaires overnight with granny farms but no one has seemed to crack that code.

Not quite a thread summary. However in anticipation of new members I've tried.

For those new to this thread, particularly if directed by recent commentary on youtube; welcome. I encourage you to start at thread #1. This is a discussion including critiques of the Chateau Diaries, and under sufferance, The Pethericks. If you are a superfan this is not the site for you. We do not abuse if we disagree. This is not fb or youtube. Tattle.life is a free exchange you cannot moderate others' views. We say " I disagree" or present an alternative view. Most info is from SJ vlogs, insta, facebook or from basic searches of public info. Many on here are incredibley witty. Origns are we enjoyed original vlogs, interesting reno talk, travels, etc. Then the money grab started which raised a lot of concerns.

In recent topical threads we have discussed:

1. Concern re how SJ presents her personal financial situation and how fans don't connect the dots. SJ owns flat in London and 50% Chateau. IJ owns ZA property, UK property and presumabley a % of her own mother's home in France.

2. COVID Christmas Diaries at the Chateau - it was evident more people were at the Chateau than the 16 for dinner. Discussions focused on who they were as they were seen in background of vlogs and on cleaning/cooking rosters. Concern increased when it was evident length of journey (would require a pit stop with potential risk) and 2 holding senior public roles in Netherlands and Belgium. No persons have been contacted making comments to them, nor their employers. Not sure how this is bullying.

3. Derek Jarvis paintings -- several present sexualised imagery. These are not openly shown but visible. SJ said her father let people have own interpretation - so I did, tongue in check on one painting. Some discussion of his possible imitation of other styles as he developed his own, and suitability of such imagery in front of a child/daughter.

4. SJ behaviour with volunteers. Concerns discussed. 1-2 posters stated their inside experience/views. These were discussed and debated at length with concerns raised about this in terms of ethics/moral if not legality (Workaway in France). List of boyfriends maintained so we can keep track.

5. Financial gain. Concerns re the lack of financial transparency, continued donations by the vulnerable, questions raised about the charitable foundation. As we are a global group, familiarity with french taxation and laws was supplemented by posters who knew/searched online. Can't ask polite questions as patreons or fb group as you get slammed. So discussed here.

6. SJ behaviour. There was a discussion on SJ's observed behaviour and whether it was ADHD, narcissism, hoarding, child like for a 45 year old, etc. Also relationship with her parents based on her commentary. This did get a bit weird. Discussed on relationship dynamics with ex boyfriends, whobshe mentions and does not, hence the boyfriend timeline.

7. The Pethericks. We avoid the Trotters as most find them boring or distasteful in open money grab and number of vlogs. Once they were up, through a few simple searches of social media history, commenters raised concerns. Speculation on their motives and background. Concern re Gwen. MP2 basically supported with his creativity, depressive tendancies and potential; frustration at lack of action, rework on cottage, open begging in his vlogs. Failure to launch comes to mind.

8. Persons of disrepute who & why. Brenda's bullying online of persons including a patreon asking simple questions. Her inserting herself in key moments like Forest Gump, and general mis representations exposed, including basic lies like the view from her window. She advertised Tattle to 10000 fb fans and threatened us. So a few legal truths were published on Tattle. Jill Scott has a white collar taxation criminal record. Multiple times our comments have expressed frustration and amazement at who SJ associates her brand with and could she please get some experts in, rather than amateurs.
Of all people in LaLa universe Nic, MP and Ruthy are often discussed as professionals who would have some idea of what to do, so we wonder what is going on in her head. Oli, as a marketing communications person and potential co- vlogger, would he not speak with her. Watch SJ burn him for BJJ on launching Chateau tours across Europe.

9. La La Land Universe. Commentary on other "characters" (as SJ calks them in vlog 100) is a critique on their behaviour in vlogs, motivations for being there, work contributions, etc. Especially when they start own money making/begging social media presence. BJJ's presence with no skills raises the thought SJ needs a sidekick (used to be MP). Look I can't even be bothered writing about him, read the threads.

10. Restoration work not prioritised. Lack of structural, heating, the basics considered as people obviously are freezing in an old hunting lodge/ruin. It was never a grand Chateau. 15 year ownership yet on her vlogs SJ shows rooms she hasn't gone into (vlog 36) or enters very infrequently or keeps tidy (attic, laundry room, old dairy room, hallways).

We are forgetting about the English manor house they converted into a nursing home. That must've sold for a killing actually. I'm going to say they probably bought the London flat with the money from that sale.

Shortly before Sandro37 disappeared, she wrote that she was becoming bored with SSB and her avarice. I think the incessant gift grabbing has become too offensive. Moreover, a troll wrote an offensive message to her, and I think that might have been the final straw.
Tbh the more and more that I see from that avaricious jezebel, the less I can stomach her. Might have to take a break myself.

The problem I have with Derek Jarvis' painting is...while I'm most assuredly NOT a prude by any stretch of the imagination...his paintings, to me are what some call "soft porn". Yes, art is in the eye of the beholder but, to me at least, this art should not be displayed where any children or very moral, easily offended people can look at them at any time. Yes, she should be proud of them, they were done by her beloved father, but have a seperate "gallery" room where they can be displayed but with a warning on the door! They definitely don't lend anything to the atmosphere of a centuries old chateau.

Agree. And I'm sure she likes seeing them, but they really do not complement the decor in any way. She should make one room for them. They are so garish, and it's not pleasant that they dominate pretty much every room. Wonder what her co-owners think of that?

I'm sure they go along with pretty much everything she wants...although Nik did voice some concerns about the cadeau at the chateau showings at first...not sure what he really thinks about them now since he seems to like being the recipient of some of the gifts.

To be honest she hasn't openly displayed the more racey art. However it is there if you look in background and from memory one in Pott's dutch pad (visible SJ instagram). She did say it was open to interpretation, and bare breasts, female arses in the air displaying like a male peacock, condoms, etc there is no doubt something was going on in his head. Like it wasn't a commentary on climate change or world peace. Definitely not part of the medieval scene/wrappinv paper which seems a one off. Taste in art is so individual. I find the sexualisation of women in the rudie nudie photos of the lesbian photographers offensive, creepy, lascivious and demeaning to women. Apart from Kim Kardashian, being naked is not empowering women to equality in society. Others may not share my views.

New member here! As result of MP's video I looked y'all up. See I read the glossary.

I have same question about the London flat. I have been confused ever since I saw she STILL HAS a London flat. She says in many videos that she raised money for Lalonde by she and Nic selling their flats. With the additional detail in the "Egyptologist" video that she sold her flat out from under Pott's feet. Then, she says she struggled financially with the chateau ever since (despite the chateau being fully and lushly furnished and window-dressed hmmmmm I've seen the Wedgwood on the mantel). Thus sad story, need help, need money.

Key question, I can't find answer: When was this London flat acquired? After she bought the chateau? If so, why wasn't money for the flat put into the chateau instead? I'm very confused. But now, maybe not so confused after reading here a bit and questioning SJ intentions.

*****

My "credentials": I was one of the people who enjoyed CD since discovering it during lockdowns. Appreciated the entertainment. I'm not a Patron and use ad-blocker. Enough of the cadeau, so many plates, teacups, teapots, porcelain. Instead of the cadeau channel why not tell people the gifts were appreciated, it's been fun, but we have enough now, if you feel urge to give, please donate directly to "abc" worthy cause we support -- and film something about the worthy cause, interview them, show what they do. Then, it's not about SJ and friends, it's truly about the cause. Tomaz's list of tasks was alarming, sickening. I know someone interested in volunteering. Not sure they're cynical enough, don't want a dream broken, and don't want to see a broken heart.

Can I make a gentle suggestion that might help all the new people like me who feel concerns? Can you make a single-post thread that contains the hard facts about the financial and volunteer issues? There's a post in this thread with a recap but where is the evidence, you're asking us to go through thousands of posts to find it. Who has time for that? Your message will get lost. If your intention is to protect vulnerable people from getting sucked in and donating their money and time, put the financial and volunteer facts in one fast easy place for us. Please consider.

Mention Stephanie and gifting,

@Clara Burnett Please tell us more about the house in the south of France. I had no idea that Jarvis' own a property there. We haven't seen it on CD? Why do you think this house wasn't mentioned by SJ? If she's allowed to keep the rental income from all these properties, it starts to make a lot of sense how she can maintain her lifestyle doing nothing...
The house of her grandmother is in Bézier and since her passing probably now shared with the rest of Isabel's siblings, but that's my guess, no real knowledge. Isabel however also owns an apartment in Agde, close to Bézier, that they usually rent out through an agent. She and Percy would go there when her mother was still alive to spend some private days. No clue if they still hang onto it. SJ would pretend to have 'forgotten' all about this property, find keys in her desk and then make a casual remark about 'her apartment at the Mediterranean'.

Great suggestion, will take some time to create but with the recent advertising by the subjects of our affection themselves and the amount of new people reading, it might really help.

The Chateau Diaries

It’s taken such bravery for you to talk about these trolls. It’s been affecting all of us at Lalande and Basmaignee for so long. Absolutely lovely people have been bullied so badly that they’ve even chosen to leave the chateau rather than take the abuse. Guests of mine who were not even in the vlog have been stalked and bullied, and the lies that have been made up are beyond belief. My departed wonderful, mild-mannered almost tee-total father has even been accused of being an alcoholic who sexually abused me as a child. The desire to gossip about others is human nature, and none of us mind light hearted speculation about who we’re dating, etc. But I can’t understand people who are so desperate to see evil in others that they invent it and disseminate it. We’re in this together Michael

💫💫💫 together 😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆

I love that your fans come together and telling off this specific person (at least on the videos where the comment section is still on). Don't think about the few haters, look at how beautifully your fans stand together. We won't let you down - now more than ever :)

your FANS pleaded with YOU....
On YouTube ... after you posted that diatribe

Well I’m shocked at your comment Stephanie, not wholly surprised, but shocked at the meanness and I guess evil intent by very pathetic people. Please know that you are respected and we love the content of your adventures at the chateau. As for Michael, very sad and actually criminal how he has been treated with regard to his signing the rights away .... he needed good guidance in that moment and didn’t get it!! He was robbed and abused. I’m very sorry that this has happened to such a lovely sweet young man. Tell him chin up, lesson learned and get back to his art and creating beautiful work again!! For if not, the bad people win and that’s just unacceptable. Much love to Michael

I remember hearing “local artist” on the show and knew you from other parts of the show and being so confused. I am glad to know the truth, as this impacts my opinion of the show and the people who run it. I’m so sorry this happened to you! You are an amazing artist and I would rather support you than them! All my good wishes for the future Michael

I stopped watching that show immediately when I suspected you were wronged. I saw your first video, and l was hooked. Your content is the real deal, you are sincere, talented, and between you and Stephanie, l get all the Chateau life l need. Michael, you have thousands of fans who find you talented and amazing. Please find a way to let this unfortunate situation go...and keep being the fabulous person you are, doing the things the rest of us can only dream of doing!

There’s over 7000 reasons you should be ..... anxious 😦
50% of your FANS are openly hounding poor dick and angle

and you stoked the flames 🔥

Not quite a thread summary. However in anticipation of new members I've tried.

For those new to this thread, particularly if directed by recent commentary on youtube; welcome. I encourage you to start at thread #1. This is a discussion including critiques of the Chateau Diaries, and under sufferance, The Pethericks. If you are a superfan this is not the site for you. We do not abuse if we disagree. This is not fb or youtube. Tattle.life is a free exchange you cannot moderate others' views. We say " I disagree" or present an alternative view. Most info is from SJ vlogs, insta, facebook or from basic searches of public info. Many on here are incredibley witty. Origns are we enjoyed original vlogs, interesting reno talk, travels, etc. Then the money grab started which raised a lot of concerns.

In recent topical threads we have discussed:

1. Concern re how SJ presents her personal financial situation and how fans don't connect the dots. SJ owns flat in London and 50% Chateau. IJ owns ZA property, UK property and presumabley a % of her own mother's home in France.

2. COVID Christmas Diaries at the Chateau - it was evident more people were at the Chateau than the 16 for dinner. Discussions focused on who they were as they were seen in background of vlogs and on cleaning/cooking rosters. Concern increased when it was evident length of journey (would require a pit stop with potential risk) and 2 holding senior public roles in Netherlands and Belgium. No persons have been contacted making comments to them, nor their employers. Not sure how this is bullying.

3. Derek Jarvis paintings -- several present sexualised imagery. These are not openly shown but visible. SJ said her father let people have own interpretation - so I did, tongue in check on one painting. Some discussion of his possible imitation of other styles as he developed his own, and suitability of such imagery in front of a child/daughter.

4. SJ behaviour with volunteers. Concerns discussed. 1-2 posters stated their inside experience/views. These were discussed and debated at length with concerns raised about this in terms of ethics/moral if not legality (Workaway in France). List of boyfriends maintained so we can keep track.

5. Financial gain. Concerns re the lack of financial transparency, continued donations by the vulnerable, questions raised about the charitable foundation. As we are a global group, familiarity with french taxation and laws was supplemented by posters who knew/searched online. Can't ask polite questions as patreons or fb group as you get slammed. So discussed here.

6. SJ behaviour. There was a discussion on SJ's observed behaviour and whether it was ADHD, narcissism, hoarding, child like for a 45 year old, etc. Also relationship with her parents based on her commentary. This did get a bit weird. Discussed on relationship dynamics with ex boyfriends, whobshe mentions and does not, hence the boyfriend timeline.

7. The Pethericks. We avoid the Trotters as most find them boring or distasteful in open money grab and number of vlogs. Once they were up, through a few simple searches of social media history, commenters raised concerns. Speculation on their motives and background. Concern re Gwen. MP2 basically supported with his creativity, depressive tendancies and potential; frustration at lack of action, rework on cottage, open begging in his vlogs. Failure to launch comes to mind.

8. Persons of disrepute who & why. Brenda's bullying online of persons including a patreon asking simple questions. Her inserting herself in key moments like Forest Gump, and general mis representations exposed, including basic lies like the view from her window. She advertised Tattle to 10000 fb fans and threatened us. So a few legal truths were published on Tattle. Jill Scott has a white collar taxation criminal record. Multiple times our comments have expressed frustration and amazement at who SJ associates her brand with and could she please get some experts in, rather than amateurs.
Of all people in LaLa universe Nic, MP and Ruthy are often discussed as professionals who would have some idea of what to do, so we wonder what is going on in her head. Oli, as a marketing communications person and potential co- vlogger, would he not speak with her. Watch SJ burn him for BJJ on launching Chateau tours across Europe.

9. La La Land Universe. Commentary on other "characters" (as SJ calks them in vlog 100) is a critique on their behaviour in vlogs, motivations for being there, work contributions, etc. Especially when they start own money making/begging social media presence. BJJ's presence with no skills raises the thought SJ needs a sidekick (used to be MP). Look I can't even be bothered writing about him, read the threads.

10. Restoration work not prioritised. Lack of structural, heating, the basics considered as people obviously are freezing in an old hunting lodge/ruin. It was never a grand Chateau. 15 year ownership yet on her vlogs SJ shows rooms she hasn't gone into (vlog 36) or enters very infrequently or keeps tidy (attic, laundry room, old dairy room, hallways).
Wow, well done!

I do not support a summary of the details beyond what I have suggested. As stated at the start of each thread is a summary of the previous one. I suspect superfans wishing to bait users (not meaning to offend anyone but that's how it looks).
What must be stressed no-one on this thread has discussed sharing any info on any other social media (except myself re wallpaper-gate commenting when others raised it on instagram). So the only way people would know of Tattle is through Brenda, MP2, SJ directing people here. Or like myself googling one day and coming across the thread.

The "official Doing it Ourselves" FB page mentions Tattle.Life (how I found you). Wish I had found you guys months ago! I was actually thinking the other day that I hoped the volunteers were paid after Phillip implies he's staying there until next Christmas. Come on, you're spending a year not earning money?

There’s speculation (or maybe it was mentioned on patreon) about Philip perhaps having received an inheritance when his grandfather died.

Veering off on a tangent, I've been wondering who exactly booked in for B&B at Lalande before the "exposure " (aka free advertising) the place received via ETTCDIY. Lalande's location - House in the Middle of Nowhere - doesn't seem the sort of place one would chose for a night of two away unless you had a specific reason to be in the area.

You raise an intetesting point. If the CD generate 5000 per month in advert revenue how does SJ compensate the regular characters (her term vlog 100) who participate even if its holding the camera? Is it all SJ's? Does a portion go towards Chateau (ie Nic & MP2)? Maybe each person now get a %.
