For this week's Memory Monday, we remember the drama surrounding the money that was intended to be donated to children's hospice, Julia's House.
In May 2018, Creeps and Lazy did a vlog where they did dares, set by their twitter followers, all day and wore their pyjamas all day. They did this so that people would donate to their Go Fund Me that they set up to raise money for Julia's House. People questioned at the time why they couldn't have just donated the money themselves as they were at the height of their fame and were averaging about 180,000 views a day (with many vlogs getting way more views than that). The dares video got 190,000 views. People did kindly donate and they raised just over £1000.00.
Unfortunately, by the time they finally tried to donate this money to Julia's House, it was July 2018 and Jess and the other girls had come forward about Creepy. Julia's House did the right thing and, in light of what had been revealed about Creepy, felt that it wasn't right to accept the money. It wouldn't have been good for a children's hospice to accept a donation from someone who been caught grooming teenage girls.
In September of that year, someone (I think it was a tattler) questioned if Julia's House had ever received the Ifam's kind donations. The charity was emailed and they replied that they never accepted the money because of what had come out about Creepy. Because of this email being posted online, Creepy needed to answer why the Ifam still hadn't had their money refunded. It turned out that their had been a problem with the Go Fund Me and the refund process. Apparently, Creepy and Lazy hadn't realised that the money hadn't been refunded because they were in Australia at the time that the money was supposed to be refunded (August). When Creepy contacted Go Fund Me again, the money was refunded quickly back to the Ifam.
The thing that was memorable, however, was how quick both Creepy and Lazy were to turn themselves into victims in the whole scenario. They said that they couldn't donate to Julia's House because of "circumstances outside of their control" (they were leading the Ifam to believe that the reason that the money couldn't be donated was because of the Go Fund Me refund issue NOT because Julia's House refused the donation). They also said that Julia's House and other companies didn't want be associated with them because they were inundated with abuse if they did so. This was also stretching the truth in this case as the charity had clearly said that they didn't take the money because of Creepy's actions. They were basically blaming haters, rather than Creepy, for Julia's House not accepting the money.
These two will always make themselves out be the victim in every situation and will never, ever take accountability for any mistakes that they make.
