Since Dana is also local was she privy to how the estrangement went down? She seems more involved with local happenings than Lalande.
Dana was introduced at the chateau through my friends who knew her before SJ. She has always been very eager to become one of SJ's acolytes and likes to see herself as her most trusted friend. She dropped my friends instantly and sided with SJ even though she knew very well what happened. She was even considering stepping in and take over the role left behind by my friends, but that didn't materialize for her.

Yes - and so beautiful.
She really is a class act. You can see the restrained way she acknowledges presents from the gift grab ... I feel she’s there because she feels she has to be out of support for Nic, but anyone with an ounce of sensitivity can decipher there is probably not much love lost between her and Stephanie. They are very different people. Marie has had a career, SJ has only ever ridden in the coat tails of others.

They wouldn't care.


They are not French, they just live there! ;)

They don't have a YT channel.
Indeed, no youtube. They have a website called domaine les pierres and instagram. All rather in the open and easy findable :cool:

@Clara Burnett What do your friends mean when they say "but my past involvement with everything related to the intrigues of this chateau, reaching far beyond the moral boundaries I so shamefully ignored" in their post? Sounds like the moral boundaries being breached go beyond the inbreeding of sheep.

Thank you, Clara. Many things didn't sit right with LOTLL versions of events. I had assumed it was due to her lack of business sense or work ethic

They certainly do. SJ's favorite movie is Dangerous Liaisons and she loves the drama and plotting, mingling in other people's relationships, no matter who gets hurt as long as it's not she.

Good for you. and very thoughtful, thanks !
Can I also say that I watched an interview with your friend and he is such a charming, handsome and warm fellow. He is from a little village I know well, and the people from that region are very close to my heart. He is also so humble. You know, in a way, his personality is so soft, he reminds me of Selmar. Although your friend has a better education and is a decade younger, he radiates empathy and sweetness, as Selmar does... and I somehow have this terrible feeling that a few years from now, Selmar will be writing his own blog entitled "My old pain".

So appalled to read the back story here. Your dear friends were treated so shabbily by SJ after looking after her fir three years. She showed them no loyalty or support at all. And how incredibly hurtful that Dana, who they introduced to Stephanie, threw them under the bus for the chance to be ‘in’ with such a shallow, immature self-centred piece of work (aka Stephanie Jarvis)

Thrilled you are here to put the record straight, to give some justice to your friends, to remove the smoke and mirrors and let all see what has really gone on there.

I wonder does she realise that she is disposable too? I think not... but I think she will find out; one day.

Interesting. I wonder how many of Lalandes new crew are reading about this for the first time today?

I agree about Selma. He bluffs his way through a lot of ‘repairs’. Last vlog when he was pointing out ‘thickness’ of the wonderful floor ‘tiles’ I immediately thought that’s just soil/sand/earth that has stuck hard on the underside. Few minutes into the vlog he then tells her that the ‘tiles’ are much thinner than he thought and he could level them out. A blind man could have seen that from first glance!!! It made me start to wonder about the other things he’s done. He’s good at tango dancing and drawing and chopping logs.

An Injury at Work could have serious consequences and if Selmar was my volunteer, lifting and relaying that floor would be one task I simply wouldn’t dream of asking him to do. Just saying.

Just saying 😳😳😳😆

Selmar is self employed - he invoices 🧾 LOTL for any or all works done ✅

It’s selmar who needs to make sure he has insurance - as he’s self employed

Swingers ? I take it that was before Oli was married? Looks like he’s one of her playthings too. Notice Kim & Mummy are there too 🤢

This photo was from a couple of years later. Oliver (and his intoxicated look) with his wife and kids. Potts couldn't even hold the camera still...

Thank you for that reminder. Indeed he is but truth be known, he’s merely a bit of an Odd Job Man. Irregardless of his self-employment status, she should be aware of his skills - or lack of.

it doesn’t take too much common sense to see that taking up that floor, Installing a damp course, laying the floor elsewhere, requires not only a fair bit of brawn but also some specialised knowledge which I doubt Selmar has.

His weakness is not only physical but also for Stephanie. Whether I am employing someone in my home or on a building contract at work, I am always aware of not just the safety aspect but the human aspect too. SJ has shown no regard for his welfare. And with respect, that has nothing to do with with his employment status or if he has insurance.

I hear a lot about gas-lighting nowadays. I’ve never really known how that differs from any other sort of con .... from what I’ve read of it, that almost suggests SJ is a gas-lighter. She certainly is successful at schmoozing and charming . In the extreme. Men seem utterly bewitched by her.

This is a ridiculous, superficial, indeed shallow question, but please, do tell, is she incredibly pretty in real life ?!?!?


Disappointed in her investment 👏👏😂😂😂
the gaslighting is something else but possibly she employs it as well

You can kind of sense that from her somewhat predatory look here. She’s in Venice with Michael in costume... playing her games...

Hey Stephanie, remember when you did a vlog on how you work hard to avoid conflict? And you were very proper and smug. I thought you were just referencing whatever happened with Tomaz, but clearly not.

Yikes! Is this her cultural appropriation party? 😬
