threads 🧵 have been dealt with in order
you have to hand it to her
chatelaine ..... it’s planet SSB
She put a full stop to a lot of speculation. Well done. BJJ and Nati are the new moderators, Gerry, Isabel and Percy joined the chat, thanked and greeted a lot of people, they've clearly turned a new page. I'm impressed. New moderators need to start answering also in the comment section, before Jumpsuit Jill and other guard dogs ruin it. They have good intentions, but they piss people off. Lalande needs to take command also in the comments.

The younger pic of her father flashed on the screen. Looked to me like a younger pic of Gerry. Before seeing that I was on the fence about that situation. But I'm not there anymore.

Next video on father's day: how tattle made me realize that Daddy had a maîtresse

guilt tripping those patrons more how could they possibly leave now. So after spending 300k and realising how little she has achieved she must have had more of an indication as to how much she is likely to need.

so her and nick went halves. Then she added another 300k of her own money.
Earlier she said that Nick paid for the renovation, WTF? Did she and Nick put both 300k, or both 150k? Why she didn't mention Nick contributing to the renovation?

The patreons exclusive b&b. What a convenient way to cut out legitimate complaints of unsanitary conditions.

The fact that she is having to put a stop to speculation is not a win for her. It is a win for Tattlers. The natives in her fan base are getting restless, they are being directed here. Maybe some are having the scales from their eyes taken off. This is not a win for SSB. This is a sticking plaster over a major wound. Dear Stephanie Jarvis. We see you. We are not fooled. 1/10 for effort. Must try harder.

The whole thing is madness, I tell you, madness! First Trump is acquitted, now this! I thought the meek were supposed to inherit the earth. I cannot add anything more to this conversation other than to say that there are a whole lot of people out there who have bought into this sleight of hand without reservation. She is magical alright, like a game of three card monty.

No fault in taking advice and learn from your mistakes. That's why she will be successful...

Gwen and Billy aren't even married. Why would she allow his entire family to move in and take over. Unless she's being controlled. If they break up she has to evict his entire family. The level commitment that should be required to move his entire family in just isn't there from him.

Absolutely there is no fault in taking advice & learning from mistakes. Only she hasn't done. That is the whole point. She takes no-ones advice and doesn't think she has made any mistakes. It's all to shut up the naysayers. She's getting rumbled a bit on her grifting & she's trying to cover her tracks. I think a lot more agent work needs to be done to steer people onto here.

Though she was not alone:Nick and M. Potts were there, too. So all of them panicked? Even reasonable Nick? Probably along with Marie? And it was OK for the water police to immediately drain the lake without caring for the fish? I don't know..🐟🐠😔
The water police demanded them to bring the lake up to code, nobody wanted to invest the money, so they drained the lake.

📼 Fast Forward with Frances 📼

Chateau Gossip
  • Apologies for not bringing up anything discussed before Stephanie's new vlog aired, but the new vlog has taken up much more of the airwaves here because it seemed to address (some here may say attempted to address) every single thing we talk about on this thread!?
  • Stephanie uploaded a vlog titled "How Youtube Saved My Chateau" which highlighted the financial journey Stephanie took to own the chateau, the extensive early renovations that were never filmed, how she struggled when her father died/mother left/Nic left, ETTCDIY and finally how youtube and patreon are each funding the physical and operational work at the chateau.
Takeaways:
  • She mentioned during her 'dark' time, she lived on the property with caretakers in the what I think is now Nic and Marie's apartment. She seemed to emphasize how hard that time was for her, how she wasn't in a good place, she was struggling etc. I wonder if she is alluding to the fact that maybe she regrets her behavior back then? And perhaps she regrets the way things ended with the caretakers mentioned, who we know to be the original tall Dutch men?
  • She mentioned the Elusive Nic was against Cadeaux at the Chateau before it became a charity channel.
  • She enlightened us with the fact that Angelina and Phil of Chateau Life had their youtube channel first which ... ouch that must hurt them. Judge her all you want but it's obvious Stephanie is skilled at presenting/hosting/interviewing/whatever because she has been extremely successful. and for Michael's channel to literally explode on the platform ... oh gosh. I had always thought Stephanie was the first and everyone copied her because it worked! Guess not 😬
  • Personal opinion here - I kind of love that Stephanie paid for the bulk of the renovations and is now the one raking in the $$ over Nic and Michael. ✌Girl Power ✌
  • You can clearly see the connection she is making to the concept of taking other people's money to preserve an old building. Some tattlers feel she glossed over the whole "having to pay people a decent wage to work in fancy buildings brought down the industry", alluding more towards taxes being the issue.
    • I see both ends of the debate here. Opening up these estates to help preserve them does make sense, but is the reality of the lives of the people who *worked* at these estates, ran them etc. being erased so we can all fantasize about the glamour of the land owners?
    • Here is where there is a bit of confusion for me personally - many estates that have families live in them and run them as businesses, retreats, weddings, events, b&bs etc, but the idea of staying at a chateau to spend time with the people who live there? Does that mean the staff have "eat with the guests" as part of their job description? Will they not be allowed to leave if guests are there? Will Stephanie have to plan her post covid travel escapades around the stays of her patrons so she can eat dinner with them? That is very confusing to me ... also scary! In America so many youtubers are stalked and harassed by fans. I hope the safety of her staff and herself are considered before they move forward with this...
  • Confirmed Dan + Selmar are paid by patreon, Nati and Philip are paid by youtube revenue
  • She made a point to let viewers know she offered Marie a paying job to cook at the chateau over the summer, but does not mention if she has/has not been paying Marie for the whole time Marie has been at the chateau in the pandemic.
  • Stephanie was given inheritance from her parents house, which helped her pay for the early renovations on the chateau. The sale of two apartments (hers + Nics) were what gave them the $ to pay for the chateau itself.
  • Michael Potts only bought into the chateau in 2019
    • this surprised me! I had always thought he had been involved a bit longer
  • Chapel restoration, terrace work, THE LAKE - all in the process of happening, some builders are already scheduled and will arrive in March
  • The facade seems to be in the pipeline as well, but nothing scheduled or planned yet
  • Mentioned that all exterior walls do have insulation BUT they did not (or do not?) have all the windows double glazed, so the geo thermal heat is not as effective.
  • The chateau has a great roof, chapel roof on the other hand was a mess and was the very first renovation they made at the request of the previous owners.
  • Gravel is pink because it was recommended to them to choose a gravel that matched the original stonework
  • She links to youtube channels and instagram accounts of other chateau owners to hopefully spread some love.
    • Personal opinion - I think she addressed the criticism the right way. Now some may think she is still not being honest, grifting whatever etc etc. BUT from a "trying to run a business" perspective. She did not point fingers. She did not complain. She did not disparage anyone. She came across as honest and sincere (whether you think she is, thats to each of our own opinions), she didn't intentionally send any of her followers here!! Whether she meant to or not, she answered legitimate questions that have been raised here that her fans may have read when Michael and Ryan sent them over here. Some here may still have questions, but I bet her patrons are pretty satisfied.
Please quote and add what I missed! XO

Well this latest little video did nothing to elevate my opinion of the aging wanna be princess, in fact it had the opposite effect. I just hope more people open their eyes and continue to apply much needed pressure. Oh does anyone know if she is requiring or has required NDA's? I don't remember if thats been asked before so apologies in advance if it has.
