The Chateau Diaries #259 PUDDLE- shallow like the Chatelaine & empty like her soul.

I've asked my tender half about this(he's a dental surgeon) and although he could easily spot cancer and other sicknesses looking inside a patient mouth, he said he would not know about TB throat because it is rare here (UK). (Edited : Although, he would see the constriction in the throat and refer the patient to the hospital)

I would wager your good man would know it wasn't cancer. And knowing it wasn't cancer, but instead, perhaps, a pretty evident bacterial infection of a year's untreated standing, wouldn't blab to the patient it was cancer. Gonorrhea, maybe.
Constriction goes straight to the hospital? Good to know, and missing from Stephanie's account of the alleged Cambridge cancer diagnosis.

 

[Lionessarising]

That is exactly what they are trying to do, hence the “ we had a diagnosis of cancer” along with Stephanie rattling on and on about people who have survived TB.

My stepdad died of TB back in the 60s. All I knew about it was he was Ill for a few weeks, went into hospital and died, then they came and fumugated the house. I don't remember me or mum having to be tested though

He's not allowed to make a Dx (diagnostic) about anything other than in his field, hence why he would refer to the hospital. PS Bacterial infections, thrush etc yes, he would know it right away.

Yes, from a dental clinic, seeing a constriction, excessive bleeding, thrush, white spots, cancer etc Send immediately to hospital.

Thank you for the info. If Percy was seeing an ENT specialist surely a background check with Percy would reveal he was from SA, a high incidence country of TB and TB can't be ruled out, along with cancer? Percy is the same as any new immigrant from a high incidence country, TB would be on the radar. I think the specialist has been put under the bus.

 

[shatcho shiek]

The whole cancer diagnosed is dodgy from both IJ and Sj as this is discussed here and broken down their lies become more and more apparent. The non responses to import question on her page and answers to others are really telling.


. I believe they covering there arses so many holes in timelines because the don't want to loose money. I am damn sure a doctor kin England after testing for TB in throat wouldn't say sure travel on airplane until results come in.

Either way the lack of accountability towards paying guests staff and Marie's clients the French govt and patreons is appalling.

And why does Brenda believe she’s the expert? Why does she think she has the ability to make these statements about Patreon, the Association, and taxes? Has Stephanie Jarvis fed this crap to Brenda so that she’d publish it (not Stephanie)? That way, Stephanie’s hands are “clean” if anyone challenges it? Stephanie can just say “Well, I didn’t say that…Brenda did!” Unbelievable.

I can answer that!
Straight from Brenda's Facebook page - someone asked her how she "knew" all this information in the comments of her long post explaining about Stephanie's finances (what I posted earlier). I swear, if it wasn't such a font of info from time to time, I would leave this Facebook group because of Brenda and her ignorant attitude.

The coy (read: deceptive) response from Brenda:

 

[FecilitéJ]

That sounds completely dismissive and arrogant. Are we sure her middle name isn't Karen (sorry to any nice Karen's on here).

Also, if anyone wants to further their TB specialist skills, CDC has this on testing.

Tuberculosis (TB) - Testing for TB Infection

There are two kinds of tests to detect TB bacteria in the body.

Dear Brenda, please remove your head from Fanny’s ass just long enough to pay attention.

Brenda is playing with words regarding the Association and non profit accounts. She’s saying that Stephanie would be taxed on anything outside the purview of money collected on Patreon for the Association. In other words, for example, money for restoration work would not be taxed (considered the Association), but money for improvements or other things would be taxed (non Association).

But on Patreon, Stephanie very specifically says that when you join at every level you “become a benefactor of the registered non-profit Chateau de Lalande Association, which is dedicated to restoring and renovating the chateau! Your support will be used to bring a beautiful 16th century French chateau back to life.” The Patreon is led to believe that all their money is going to the Association. In reality…per Brenda…that’s not true. According to Brenda, Stephanie could choose to use a portion of the money for the restoration (no taxes on that portion) and another portion for whatever she wants (taxed). For example, 10% of the money could be deemed Association (no tax) and 90% deemed non-Association (taxed) to be used for ANYTHING Stephanie wants…including improvements, travel, clothes, tat, alcohol. Dear Brenda is saying that‘s ok because that part would be taxed, and it’s Stephanie’s money to do as she pleases.

My issue is that it’s very deceiving on Stephanie’s Patreon membership level pages. What Brenda is saying may be true, but it’s NOT clear…it’s very misleading. For all anyone knows, Stephanie might be using nearly all the money for non restoration activities. No one has any idea because accounts aren’t shared. And Brenda defends this by basically saying it’s no one’s business. But if you are led to believe your money is being used for restoration, it IS your business.


Stephanie Jarvis…you are a nasty, disgusting, deceptive witch. And the president of your fan club, Brenda, isn’t doing you any favors.

I wonder what bucket o' money Brenda is paid from?
Taxable or non-taxable?
Association or non-Association?
Maybe Stephanie's personal fund?

 

[KyBourbon]

Stephanie, in pure narcissistic fashion, gets others to do her dirty work. In this case. Brenda fields all the pesky, nasty accounting and money questions. Don’t want the princess to be diverted from travel, shopping, and drinking. witch.

Just to add the TB blood test takes 24 to 48 hours to run in a lab. So is it feasible that he would have seen a Dr, got the test and returned to be admitted the next day. I suppose it could be.

Although some states in the USA are saying up to 7 days. Maybe because it's more prevalent is SA they can run it faster

Why would he go to a specialist, get just to the brink of having all the tests done, and then quit and go home? Just because it would be inconvenient to have cancer in England? Or because it would be impossible to get home if the tests proved to be TB? It could be as simple as that. He might only have had a warning it could be TB because a specialist would find it in testing. I think he didn’t want to get stuck there.

It’s called “willful blindness“, or ‘ignorance’. Featuring Dumb Brenda: the mouthpiece.

This latest with Percy and her ‘reveal all vlog’ is the worst one yet.

Fanny, because of her ego and stupidity, will eventually be the one to blow up her own scam.

They all need to get off the internet and shut their traps.

 

[Patriciarella]

Has anyone checked Ruby for tb? Percy’s disease can pass to animals.

I just went over to the Brenda's Facebook page to see if there were any Patron pictures and saw a rather large post from Brenda where she says she's explaining and answering questions she's received. According to her, she had to field a lot of messages about these topics. I love how she explains that she is NOT Lalande mastermind. Coulda fooled me, Brenda!

I'm just going to copy and paste what she wrote here, instead doing my usual screen shots, as it's long - I did do one screenshot so you can see it's legitimate.

Make of it what you will, but it's just more covering of Stephanie and her lies with regard to Patreon. Of course, she doesn't mention how Stephanie herself said she would provide accountability with regard to Patreon expenditures! I did find it interesting that at the end, she outlines what and in what order she would do the work required at the chateau and, for once, I agree with her.

Good afternoon everyone.
There have been some posts over the last few days which have raised some questions, & created a lot of messages for me!
For those who are confused let me try to explain, but first I must say I am not a Lalande mastermind.
I will speak generally, for specific questions, if you are a Patron send a message via Patreon, if you are a follower here send an email to Natalia.

1. Patreon is NOT a charity.
2. Patreon is a platform where creators can upload their work, in Stephanie's case a video based on her life & living at Lalande.
3. People can subscribe, there is a charge for the subscription which has various tiers, to her channel & receive video content each week. There is a choice of tiers, some come with more than the video content.
4. Stephanie receives the subscription revenue from Patreon, less their commission.
5. The money Stephanie receives from Patreon, is hers, it is her income/proceeds from her business, that business is the production of a weekly video made available to her subscribers.
6. No Stephanie legally does not have to provide ANY information on her finances relating to Patreon or any other income source to Patrons.
7. Stephanie, like every other tax payer will have to provide an income & expenditure detail to revenue.
8. A non-profit organisation was set up for Chateau de Lalande & the estate. This covers the restoration & maintenance. As a NP organisation they will benefit from attractive rates relating to revenue charges on eligible expenditure. It does NOT mean Stephanie will not being tax, it means certain aspects of her interests will have lower rates.
9. The B& B is exempt from the non profit, and will be accounted for as a stand alone business requiring full accounts to be presented, showing income & expenditure. Natalia, Maria & the housekeeping staff will come under this umbrella.
10. I would assume that the non profit accounts will include capital expenditure, that is, any works done to the building & estate, to ensure its survival.
11. However, it would not include improvements which would increase the value of the asset, such as internal renovations. It would not include running costs incurred in the day to day management of the business, the B&B.
12. The same rule of thumb as above would apply to Stephanie's You Tube Channel, this will also be dealt with as an independent business & have no preferential rates applied.
13. There will also be consideration for personal use within the accounts.
14. The You Tube channel will provide a salary for Philip & will be Stephanie's main source of personal income.
15. How she spends that income is a matter for herself.
16. Stephanie, made a personal decision to use her income from Patreon to carry out restoration & refurbishments to Lalande. Not all projects will fall under the umbrella of non-profit, & will be subject to full rates within the taxing system.
17. So when remarks are made that patrons are paying for Stephanie to own a chateau, that is a twisted concept. If I worked for tesco or walmart, I would receive a monthly salary, just as Stephanie does from Patreon. If I use that income to pay my mortgage buy a new car & go on an exotic holiday...would you say tesco or walmart paid for it? No, my job with them enabled me to do those things. Just as Stephanie's Patreon account, her video creation & her popularity have enabled Stephanie to improve Lalande.
18. Does Stephanie have to tell us how she spends her money, no absolutely not. It is her personal income, if she files tax returns & some elements of those are available to the public you can view away at them. But Stephanie does not legally, have to provide her Patrons or followers with forensic details of any elements of her accounts. I am sure anything that is available to the public will be on the relevant government site. That said, Stephanie may choose to say what she has spent or is going to spend etc...that is her choice, not an obligation.
19. If Stephanie was a Billionaire, & still had her Patreon account, with 4000 subscribers who she continued to create a weekly video for, she would be doing nothing wrong, she is not taking money for nothing.
20. Amaury, Nick, maintenance staff, garden staff would fall under the non-profit remit & may carry preferential employers rates...I am unsure.
21. Employment taxation rates are high in France, mainly in relation to health I believe. It is therefore easier in some instances to employ registered self employed/business to carry out work as there will be less red tape & long term commitment.
22. For me personally, I would tackle the main building 1st, roof, windows, heating, dry lining etc. A room at a time until every room was finished. Then I would do the terrace, followed by the chapel & my very last priority would be the lake. I could live without a jaunt on a boat....but not with a cold home. But, everyone is different, we all have our own ideas & thoughts about how we would do something....& we all think our idea is better.....but is it really....probably not.

Brenda attempting to rewrite history….not so fast Brenda!

1. Fanny promised on multiple occasions to be transparent with the accounts….after dozens of delays and more promises and assurances, she never mentioned it again. She did say, at one point, that the accountant needed to hide some info on individual salaries, as Fanny felt it wouldn't be right to share that info publicly. Then, nothing ever again!

2. Fanny changed the terms on Patreon without notifying patrons. Patrons were named members of the association. Not sure what wording she now uses, as im no longer a patron.

3. it‘s absolutely correct that Fanny can spend her income as she chooses, however, this does not mean she cannot be criticised for her personal spending habits, when she continually asks for help to save the chateau. She is a public figure by her own choosing.

4. Fanny, friends and her most loyal fanatics censor, delete, ban and block any and all legitimate questions and concerns, using fake aliases and proxies like Brenda and Gooder, among others to control the narrative, and in some cases, lie, in her favour. If shes doing nothing wrong, then why the need for an arsenal of brand defenders?

5. Lalande is just another large old rural property in France, not protected, and has very little to offer in terms of significant history, architecture or features (staircase, paneling, painted frescos, grand ballrooms or original historical features, other than the defences) which brings us to the biggest lie…Patrons are saving what exactly? Why? And for whom?

As far as I‘m concerned any registered business (she likely draws an income from a corporation) pulling in millions of dollars, as is Fanny, let alone one that is entirely based on sharing her life with viewers, is open to legitimate public scrutiny. A registered not-for-profit has additional disclosure rules.

I get that many people fell in love with the romance of it all, and Fanny’s charm, but snake oil is still snake oil. Trust in influencers is actually at an all-time low, rightly so because they do wield power for personal gain. Other than Tattle, who else is holding Fanny to account?

Thank you…absolutely correct.

In addition to #1…

She did say, at one point, that the accountant needed to hide some info on individual salaries, as Fanny felt it wouldn't be right to share that info publicly. Then, nothing ever again!

At some point I recall Fanny asked her Patreons what content they wanted to see…what’s important. Several responses came back specifically saying that the accounts weren’t important to them (fancy that?). I suspect these answers were “planted” by Fanny’s minions. So, Fanny pivoted away from the accounts “at the request of her Patreons.” Makes me want to puke.

It sounded dictated to me.
---
Why would Fanny say that TB in the throat isn‘t as contagious as other locations? She was either misinformed, heard incorrectly or is boldly lying to protect her interests. From the CDC

TB disease in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious. People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day….

If youre a patron, I hope you get an informed opinion on whether or not its safe to travel to lalande, unless all residents there can show vaccination or negative status. After everything we've gone through with civid, imagine getting TB from Lalande because Fanny said it was ok.

 

[FecilitéJ]

Thank you…absolutely correct.

Fools and their money are soon parted. Never a truer saying. She should be transparent and 100% accountable regardless of what they say.

Does she really believe it's like how worldwide red cross and other relief agency's ngos rum a hefty administration fee and then the remaining goes to actual clients.!

Firstly the administration fee cannot be justified in F4F Case at all she's running from her part time residence that is a existenting B&B. What percentage of time is used Management of said funds at the chateau and what percentage is used for running B&B And I don't mean Nutti. The lack of accountability once again and flying monkeys! Needs a proper aduit.

My mother in law was also diagnosed with TB in the 60s when my husband was a toddler and my sister in law was a new born.
My husband went to live with his grandparents and his sister was put into care for babies while their mother convalesced for a over a year in a sanatorium.
