This was from The Petherick's snow day vlog.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 of commitment that should be required to move his entire family in just isn't there from him.
What I meant: the husky killed the peacock. They are known that sometimes genetics take over.No, it was the peacock...I watched the video.
The Putrid Salon... just brilliant!!!Well done NorrisCS, the screen shot really brings it home!
Shall we say, then, that “The Petit Salon”
from now on may also be known as The Putrid Salon?
i.e. Pig's ear of Unadulterated Tripe, Rubbish & Dinginess?
A little reminder for those who missed it...View attachment 436393
Stephanie has her own truths.... aka lies...My son was born in the States and I didn't have to register him with the British Embassy and then when we moved back to the UK I just applied for his passport, no problems whatsoever.
Also, if Stephanie says she passed her French GCSE at 12, I think that's probably one of her fibs, as she went to a box-standard secondary school (evidently) where they would not have put a 12 year old in for her GCSEs. I can't imagine many parents putting their 12 year old in for their GCSE as a private candidate, and I'm speaking as a parent of homeschooled kids, who had control over when they sat their GCSEs.
Also, when Michael Potts bought it, the chateau was valued, and it was the same price that Nic and Stef paid for it, 15 years earlier. Despite the £300,000 renovations.Fast Forward with Frances
Chateau Gossip
Takeaways:
- 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.
Please quote and add what I missed! XO
- 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.
Me, myself and I need fillersWhat do you mean?
She never said...maybe Marie will let us know once she is back in UK and needs to increase her patreon: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.
Vomit inducing footage... and that Hyena Guffaw... I'd say some ball slapping action went on there among that bunch of swingers...On another note - has this Philly production ever been on here, sorry if it has but I haven't seen it before..
I wish someone would put permanent fillers in her obnoxious gob... stop her spouting shite and guffawing like a Hyena on helium...Me, myself and I need fillers. LOTL has botox between her eyebrows (the most common place) and fillers in her cheeks, tip of chin and crown (=sides of her forehead to bring volume.)
I should start a Patreon accountModern high way robbers - taking it to the bank ...its a private home
it's not a listed building ...
only if we get to come over and eat dinner with you whenever we want!I should start a Patreon account
....my parents' townhouse that was built by a very prominent New Yorker in 1877 needs a new security system (with the crime rate rising in the city my family needs better protection). My 'mummy' also wants to replace the countertops in the kitchen (pink marble is so 1990s, white is the new pink). The gym in the basement needs new glass doors (the old French doors made of wood and glass are a bit outdated). The sidewalk in front of the house needs to be pressure-washed. The back garden also needs to be redone (we need to get it ready for spring so my mom can celebrate her 48th birthday in the garden---she wants a waterfall).
Become my patron and help restore this amazing piece of historical property on the Upper East Side.
Just call in advance to warn our cook of any food allergies.only if we get to come over and eat dinner with you whenever we want!
that’s exactly the people she should keep away. Katy bates...First, Phillip's deep breathing throughout the whole filming annoyed me. You have ONE job, young man. One job! At one stage he sounded as if he was snoring.
Second, so correct me if I'm wrong, but Stefanie is opening up bookings for patreons and fans of her vlog only? From Thursday to Monday? Plus two dinners with the gang? Oh my god, that's going to be hilarious as the likes of Loki and Brenda decent on LaLande!!
When size does matter
Well I fell out the other end of that holeYou might be onto somethingBG &co have combed the threads carefully and are now summarizing everything pretty neatly for all the fans to see. Funny, there's nothing about LOTL, even 95% of tattle is about her? Could this be a missile aimed at Trotter Towers? And she's using us as her weapon?She’s not to be underestimated.
There's no interaction in his vlog, maybe half of his subscribers are bought? Generated bots? Maybe this is why his cottage renovation has slowed down, he needs to pay monthly for subs to keep up the appearances?
