Anyway all this talk of class and these different perspectives from tattlers of different countries and cultures made me think some of you would enjoy this vlog. It's called an American Aristocrat and it's basically about an American who is married to an Earl and their stately home. I haven't watched it yet but it sounds promising so here's the blurb and a link:-

I am an American who married into the British aristocracy, The Earl of Sandwich. Born and raised in suburban Illinois, I'm an All-American girl through and through. But moving to this side of the pond, was more different than I ever could have dreamed of - even though we speak the same English language (sort of!). Through my videos, I hope to learn more about maintaining the upkeep of our 500 year old home, Mapperton House - the Nation's Finest Manor House - while still keeping my American traditions alive and sprinkling a bit of wellbeing too.

I watched a couple of episodes a few months ago. It made me sad for some reason. The gardens are beautiful though.

Oh dear oh dear, I have a horrible feeling that our dear SSB may be about to get mixed up with either a Very Unsuitable Person, or a Perfect Partner, depending on how you feel about her.

I need the help of my fellow tattle sleuths to either confirm or disprove my findings. This is what I have found, all in the public records on the internet.

1. From her FB page: Jillian Scott - lives in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.

2. From comments she has made on youtube: she is/was an accountant.

3. From linked.in for someone called Jillian Scott

Do you think I have joined the dots correctly or have I been led astray. Can anyone help me as I do not want to cause problems for anyone (even if Jill Scott annoys the heck out of me!), but if I am right then I think Stephanie should know.

Yep there are certain terms that can be used to deduce someone's class in Britain. For instance saying settee instead of sofa or toilet instead of loo, or serviette instead of napkin or dessert instead of pudding. It is indeed a veritable minefield!

She was on Real Housewives of London. They gave her a bumpy ride.

I take my eye off Tattle for a day and we're nearly already on a new thread 😂 - The joys of Brenda's own goal!

Speaking of which, and apologies, if I've missed that this has been said but.. anyone notice Brenda's no longer a highest tier patreon again?! In fact, not even on any of the credits-level tiers. Coincidentally coincides with an extension to the FB group name...

Just my 2 cents on Narcissistic Personality Disorder... Dr. Ramani is excellent but to completely understand this particular personality disorder, I prefer Sam Vaknin. He is a diagnosed Narcissistic Psychopath but his insights are astute and very valuable. NPD develops in the early years of life and always as a result of neglect or abuse of some kind. We may never know what happened to Stephanie, I have a feeling maternal emotional neglect may have caused an emotional trauma, or there may have been other trauma, which could be the reason that Nic Larkin and Michael Potts are so protective of her. Nevertheless, people with NPD usually suck the life out of people around them and they are always parasitic by nature. Any vulnerability you will see will be a window to earlier trauma but it does not mean that SSB cannot damage those who take pity on her. She simply does not know how else to be. Who she is has evolved out of finding a way to exist in her world. It was a coping mechanism, and I imagine Isabelle is at the core of it all. Now, having the world as a stage, will bring her great success but also great scrutiny. Narcissists are very fragile, especially when their mask slips... sometimes leading to defragmentation. Fame is very dangerous for someone like SSB, what nourishes her, can also destroy her.

Or coincidence? Perhaps Brenda is feeling the January crunch 😂

It is natural to be empathetic, except if you are someone who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder like her.


There is nothing genuine about her. For crickey's sake, she literally gets filmed or films herself & then edits what she puts out so is completely aware of an image that she is creating.


Oh not recently I hope..


I have a plan. It is a cunning plan. We send a letter to Selmar with a map of how to get to Tim & Margreeth's place. You are right they are just the sort of lovely people who he would get on with.
That’s them. Tim and Margreeth... they are his people. Do it... a letter to Selmar!
