It looks like Karen is a medical social worker in Illinois.
I still feel there's something going on and Selmar is being taken for a ride. It's easy to fake a career online. She might genuinely be Tatty's sister, but I think it's a very odd tale about the operation in Turkey. If you have gallstones you would usually go into a UK hospital free on the NHS or privately. Turkey is popular for cosmetic surgery. I suspect she was having cosmetic work done. I wonder if Selmar has paid for her operation?

In these difficult pandemic times where so many are struggling and we are all being prevented from living and moving about we would wish to, this clown is making a mockery of hard working, responsible and decent folk for whom he deigns to offer an ‘escape’ through his vlogs, oh and laughably be a ‘role model’ to.
Welcome! This struck me. YES.

Millions of people have died all over the planet. Some children will now grow up without one or both parents. Many families already living in poverty lost their breadwinner. Meanwhile, Michael lives in privilege with wealthy family. 500+ people still think they should give money to Michael.

People are losing their homes and lives to floods, in many countries. Michael had responsibility to renovate his cottage to keep a roof over his head and keep him dry. But he misappropriated the money so generously gifted to him. He spent it on escorts, drugs, designer labels and luxury travel. 500+ people still think they should give money to Michael.

People are losing their homes, jobs and lives to fires, in many countries. Michael still has a home. He simply had to make a staircase to carry him from the ground floor to his bedroom. He gets Patreon money replenished EVERY MONTH. If he doesn't have money in July, he can wait until August. Right? Meanwhile, install a LADDER. The chateau certainly must have one. Why do 500+ people think Michael is worthy?

All he had to do was wait from July to August.

Andrew must not speak much English? What would he think of this begging? What's this choice of a "pathetick" boyfriend? Is this a good choice for Andrew? Oh but of course, the choice for Andrew is who can pay his bill.

I want to have hope for humanity. I want to believe 500+ people aren't checking YouTube & Instagram, and forget to check their Paypal, and don't realize they're still paying this scammer.

Money For Nothing and My Kicks For Free

Andrew! Wherefore art though Andrew?
To the château you must cum straight away
For I'm about to tell everyone that I'm gay
Even though they already know I'm that way inclined
I just want to get it off my chest and clear my mind
So that I can beg for some money for a set of stairs
Even though I've received thousands for renovation and repairs
That I have frittered away on expensive hotels, sex and drugs
And now I want more money from the gullible mugs
I can get my money for nothing and my kicks for free
It's easy if you're a liar with no sense of impropriety.

Well what is it with SJ and attracting these people who seem awkward and shy. At least the Australian guys were there to do work and did not seem to be in that category. The recent arrival of the latest Canadian and the other two makes me wonder at the initial draw. They seem to be attracted by some fantasy I wonder if these same people are also role game players such as dungeons and dragons. (Davy and play mobile) Wanting to live in a castle! They seem to be intelligent and well educated. I just don’t get it.
I am aware of awkward shy people who want to go to the chateau. You are correct that they are attracted to fantasy. Escape. Costumes. Disney. Renaissance Faire. Princess life. (NOT the British royalty - nooo, I think the British people here are mistaken about some Americans, it's not the real life royalty that's attractive, it's the Disney Frozen and Cinderella cosplay kind of princess that they're interested in. Maker 'n Manor knows this.)

They are intelligent and well-educated.

But, that thing about them that makes them drawn to fantasy and escape also makes them not want to see the bare-faced cold truth.

He is a role model ... a role model for scroungers ...

PS …. I’m not a homophobe ….. I love gay men but I can’t stand grifters of any sort.
I'm a scroungerphobe ...

I heard him tell her that he only had COLD water. Evidently he doesn't have a hot water heater yet.
I don't think he ever intends to actually live in the "cottage". He's come back to appease his cash cow, the Patreons, by pretending to continue work on it. The cottage will be permanently in a state of renovation. That's why the Pethericks don't touch it when he's away. It's vlog material, an actual project he can pretend to work on. When he gets the staircase money, he'll spend months looking for the "perfect staircase" instead of going to a local firm like anyone else, because he's artistic and has refined sensibilities. Every bit of the derelict heap will have to be done to his standards and be beautiful and artisan made and so "Beatrix Potter". He'll be in Madrid or Colombia or wherever the latest party scene is, as he needs to rest. Its all too much for him, poor lamb. The cottage is his only justification for begging. No rush to finish it then.

I think it’s more like they’re shy and awkward on camera and drawn in by free room and board and food in exchange for cleaning out old underwear and chasing sheep.

How has this not been picked up by the sun / mail
Because he's not rich and famous, not a celebrity, not a politician, just a minor vlogger.
(However much he might think otherwise). Small time fraudsters don't hit the headlines.

Ok, I have to move on to Lalalande, I can’t talk about MPK anymore. I’ve already given that clown too much attention already, he’s mentally exhausting.

Take this all with a wink and a nod, because the ”pool party” scene was hilarious, not funny ha ha, more like ”My God it’s hilarious they even filmed this ridiculousness!”.

SJ and her synchronized swimming club rejects looked nuts floating in that kiddie pool! They put two giant inflatables in there so they could float in six inches of water? Even if Davy had shorts, where was he going sit? On Nati’s lap? There was no room for Canadian what’s her name. Just invest in a larger pool! Get one of those Intex pools, a three to four footer for the summer, they are not that expensive. Sometimes, I swear SJ is such a cheapskate! I’d have thrown those stupid floaties in the moat! They are enormous and Marie and Nati looked like absolute pool hogs taking up all of the room, the poor new girl probably wanted to get in, but was afraid to ask them to chuck the peacock to make room. And who brings brioche to a, what I’m calling, trailer park pool party? Because the one thing I want is bread bloat in a bathing suit. Maybe it’s worth it if it’s normal pool party food, hot dogs, hamburgers whatever. This whole ”I’m quirky in a kiddie pool” schtick is getting old. At some point, it’s no longer quirky to “glam up” in a matching bathing suit and sun hat to sit in an inflatable pool eating brioche, it falls more into “is she off her meds” territory. Before you come for me, I’m not anti-kiddie pool, we’ve been there: camping in 100 degree weather, small spaces, little kids, easy to clean, yadda yadda. With the amount of cash she brings in a month, she could buy everyone in the house their own pool paradise, complete with an inflatable bird of their choosing. Just get a larger pool ya lunatics!
The pool was from the gift grab, as were the inflatables, so she really is a cheapskate! SJ prefers to spend money on herself, her boudoir or let Snorts buy endless napkins, plates, cutlery or cutesy cartoon animal rubbish. She wouldn't fork out for a decent pool to keep her staff cool.

I am aware of a few people talking to Lalande right now. Maybe for next year. It's not anything free that draws them. It will be expensive for them to go. They're not looking to cook, clean. They want to do actual real restoration work on the building. They have knowledge and expertise, like Davy does. Maybe they're being lied to and they'll show up thinking they'll do restoration, but they'll be hauling sheets and cleaning toilets. They think they'll be friends with SJ because they have "so much in common" with her. Ha. They think she'll accept them. They'll have a party with her. I suspect they'll become her playthings. These people are awkward and shy off camera, on camera, all the time, it's just them. And she'll put their awkward personalities on camera and so they can be torn to bits here. I feel heartsick about it. It's the other side of the coin. I don't feel anything about what we say about Philip here but I don't know Philip in real life. If what I suspect will happen comes true, I'll be hearing about it in real life and it will be ugly.

Nobody outside out the chateausphere would have heard of any of these people, nor would they care. The only way to hold them accountable is a chateau themed gossip channel. I can’t recall who suggested it, but that would work. It worked for the beauty community when everyone was doing sponsored content and not disclosing it. It opens people’s eyes.

And now that he’s staying in the honeymoon suite at Begmania, why would he want to finish the cottage in any hurry? He can leave it to dereliction over time again as it was before… and chase the parties….

@Jikki2 there was a link you had posted which lead to Andrew's or Danny's escorting ads. I've looked for it but I can't find it. I can't believe Gwen called those that unsubscribed "homophobic s***s". I want to send a message to her with that link. Shameless woman. Viewers are only good when they make money for them.

Do people really believe MPK is/was emotionally involved with any of these men? I may be wrong, but my gut feeling is he parties with whichever trophy is available and the only reason he went home was to refill the piggy bank. The 'heartbreak' is just a role for the camera.

Going off the love fest in the comment section, his subs are buying it. I mean, a lot of his subs believed him and Steph were an item, they aren’t super bright over there

Plus..... I would be "pissed" if someone brought out a bloody camera when I was in a bathing costume !!! I thought Natti was mad at this too.

I give that pool about a week....... the mower will pop it when it goes past and a stone will fly up and then Boom ... no pool ! So sad.
I am actually worried about her mental health if she believed even for a second that SJ won't film it😜🙄😂
