As my dad always said... 'to be a good liar, you've got to remember the lies you've told!'

Sara can still do one lmao. "I won't apologise for believing disabled people" - uhhh disabled people were telling you she was lying in order to exploit us. Fuck right off and stop pretending you give a shit about us

She also did more than “believe a disabled person” she was still actively encouraging people to buy from her store - with the amount of followers she had that was really irresponsible. Also this court case that she said she had proof of happening at the end of Feb - she very quickly revealed there was no proof of that, just that there was a court case in Dublin involving a Samantha Williams (which has never been her name!)

The only court case I’ve managed to find actual evidence of is the one the article alluded to that happened shortly after CJW/Samantha arrived in Ireland to have the second child taken from her. (There is a public record of that online)

She chose to believe one “disabled” voice at the expense of all the other disabled voices. Really pisses me off. She doesn’t seem like a nice person.

Yeah, it definitely wasn't where I expected this to go and apologise for sharing those notes. Not that it's an excuse but it is something I now recognise was probably ADHD impulse control/dopamine chasing issues that I need work on, as well as being angry at all the ableism. I certainly wasn't gleeful about the lack of baby records on Ancestry, mainly interested in matching up details with the court case, but I suppose I'd prefer it if she hadn't actually lost a baby? Same as I don't want her to actually have HD if that makes sense. Awful thing to lie about but worse to have actually experienced.

I can understand why the notes were originally posted. The #BeKind crew had been attacking this woman for days for trying to figure out if she'd been scammed (remember, it's sensory stuff people are ordering for their disabled kids' Christmas presents) and demanding evidence. They got it, it just turned out to be horrifying. Newforestsara is still encouraging people to order from Carrantha.

She's definitely seriously ill, it's easy to see where it escalated now and I hope she gets the help she obviously needs too. This has got so much bigger than I expected so I'm gonna take a step back before I cross any more lines. She has done bad things but the people who've given her money have the info they need now. I'm really sorry if I upset anyone.

Don’t apologise, fellow ADHD-er here and I would have done exactly the same! It’s not a reflection of you at all, you were just sharing what someone else shared. You certainly didn’t upset me, I was more worried that it would lead to the thread being locked or something and then where would we come to snark?

Is blocked and reported good? As in, is it worth a months subscription just to have a listen?

I've only listened to free episodes before but quite like them, they're good at explaining stupid internet drama. I subscribed to listen to the Jack Monroe one as well.

Just finished listening to it. There's nothing we don't know but they've laid out the timeline well, gone into the Huntington's and assistive tech stuff and spoken to Natalie. Internet sleuths finding her birth records got a mention. They reached out to Carrie/Samantha for comment but she didn't respond. Unfortunately didn't seem to know about the shop grift, they were expecting her to have done a fundraiser but people have told them about it in the comments section. Ends inviting her and her evil sister onto the podcast

I have no idea whether this current story is true or not, or at least partially true and maybe embellished, but I have had a fair amount of interaction with Carrie Jade Williams, or Jade, or thisworldcanbeaccessible and from that and my experience of her within writing communities she does has form for pretty scammy behaviour...

 

[polarbearninja]

I found this post on FB from someone who went to one of Carrie's workshops (apologies if this was shared before).

I never thought interacting with strangers for two hours would be quite so... satisfying. I’ve been doing a few of @marianne_power_writer ‘s Writing for Sanity workshops, with (mostly) women from the UK, Europe and USA. We have nothing in common except what last year gifted us - new fears and uncertainties along with exacerbating previously existing anxieties. So we meet and we let Marianne’s gentle guidance heal us for some time. Last Sunday, the workshop was co-hosted by @carriejadewrites . How do I describe Carrie - a young woman who has turned her life around and is an immense source of joy and inspiration by just being herself - is an understatement. I wrote my first newsletter because I wanted to remember what she said in those two hours. What I learnt from her. And I wanted to remember how her words and animated face gave me strength and joy. I also wanted to share what I felt were essential life lessons from Carrie - some are basic truths that I needed reminding of, and others are perspectives I never considered.
This is an entirely personal takeaway from the workshop How to Love Your Life - and if I have misread or misinterpreted anything - that’s all on me. However, I hope you read this and feel just slightly more in love with life - in whatever way possible. I’m happy to send the PDF to whoever wants to read more.
Thank you @marianne_power_writer and @carriejadewrites

They share more about Carrie in the attached images.

Main points that Carrie claims in the images:

• She was diagnosed in 2019. Didn't she say she was diagnosed during the pandemic? (the OP may have just got this wrong).
• She was given 2 years to live (not 5)
• She's a chemical engineer
• She's lost 70% of her temporal lobe
• She's written a book and a screenplay.
• She's doing a masters in neuroscience
• She's getting married soon (this post is from feb 2021)
• She can't apply makeup anymore
• She writes 50 thank you notes a week

 

[polarbearninja]

I'm really not interested in all these other accounts coming up. I just want to see the article and hopefully more truth coming out of what Samantha has done.

This Olivia stuff and all these other profiles are making no sense and not focusing on Samantha herself and her scamming.

 

[thepantsqueen]

You know what, if it all proves to be this mysterious sibling that not even the sleuthiest of sleuths can seem to find, then I'll hold my hands up and accept it but I think we have the right to be critical and question things. I don't think attacking or threatening her is okay but asking questions is acceptable and i usually like New Forest Sara but she's being extremely naive. I think its best for people on both sides to sit back and stop blindly supporting very little evidence and see what plays out.

 

[I'm not Putin]

Some creators have shocked me especially when they advocate for disabillity rights

and trying to say oh it doesnt matter if shes scammed people with the sensory equipment as its a protected purchase wont name names but thats digusting to say

some people have purchased the equipment for christkas gifts for their children if its a scam they have every right to be hurt !!!! Just because its a protected purchase it doesnt mean its ok we wont know if they will recieve the equipment yet as by the sounds of it you have to have a zoom call beforehand yet some have had their call and recieved nothing

 

[Squittel]

Is anyone else really confused?
I mean, more than they were?

Can someone tell us what the live was and who hosted it? Is there a recording we can watch?

So the live I was talking about was between two creators who bought off CJW’s website and were supporters of her. Even when the Samantha Cookes thing came out, they were still supportive and emailed her to find out what was going on and got no response so they started to dig a bit more and between them have managed to uncover a timeline of CJW’s various identities. They have been in contact with some relatives and have managed to confirm various things, but the common theme is that none of CJW’s current behaviour has come as a shock to anyone and she has form for this.

In the live they spoke about a few things such as her behaviour when she was an au pair, how she’s been found out in the past etc. one of the creators is the one who got hold of “the notes” (which are now deleted) which were quite dark.

They also have been targeted by the new forest Sara crew for starting a “witch hunt” which they haven’t and have been told by the new forest Sara crew that they shouldn’t be that bothered by it Al because it takes 5 minutes to get a refund from their banks (which it hasn’t) both are out of pocket by hundreds of pounds and want answers and their money back particularly as both are parents of children with special needs and the products promised by Carrie were going to be Christmas presents for their children. Carrie preyed upon them knowing all of this… but the “be kind” crew are saying it’s fine because they will get their money back.

I think they are also bothered by the fact that the shop is still online and you can still buy from it, meaning their is still a chance other people in the same situation could still lose money.

In the live (as in watching and commenting) was also CJWs ex employer, an old school friend, her cousin and an ex neighbour. All of whom were commenting and backing up what was being said.

Edit: as she doesn’t mind being identified, the live was by bangorwreathco - she has done a few videos explaining on the subject which are on her profile.

 

[meowcake]

This woman is a fraud, 100%. That woman is her.

 

[I'm not Putin]

In one of the articles she’s written it says;

“I can't read. My brain, attacked by the terminal neurological illness Huntington's Disease, has basically eaten its way through itself. As my brain has decayed, I have been left unable to recognize letters or read. This wouldn't be that unusual apart from the fact I only took up writing when I was diagnosed. So how does someone unable to read, hold a pen, or physically type decide they can write?”

This confuses me because the list of therapies I wrote down that the guests are asking her for, she was literally reading out…

I always thought somthing was a bit fishy but never wanted to question it for the fear of being jumped on i 100% think she was gearing up to set up a go fund me

 

[thepantsqueen]

Oh my goodness, please just stop,

that person is actually trying to help you

 

[WhatABore]

The guy who replied on tiktok says she isn't adopted and doesn't have a sister, just a younger brother. Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, he could be anyone chatting shit for a laugh, but the cousin has liked his comment saying the records I found are 100% her. Apparently has photos and letters from when they were younger and says he's spoken to a journo about this. I'll do a bit more digging on Ancestry later for "Carrie".

I found Samantha Jade Cookes on ansestery. Mothers maiden name, Williams.
But can't find a Carrie

 

[polarbearninja]

Reflecting on watching her very first tiktoks, I never doubted her by the way but I was confused about how the guests reacted to the accessible doorbell. Carrie showed a photo and i remember thinking it looked fairly normal, ie you wouldn't even know it was a special doorbell. And i thought accessible doorbells affected the inside more, ie the lights would flash for a deaf person etc. Adding this with the actual review on airbnb by Charlotte... I go between thinking that it:
A) happened the way she said, the guest was rude about disability
B) it's completely false
C) with Carrie's mental health, that she went from 0 to 100 about a fairly innocent comment about the doorbell, fabricated (but genuinely believed) she was a threat to these people and they were a threat to her. The guest review seemed kind of bewildered that Carrie had reacted the way she did.

I feel that some people with Munchausens genuinely believe they are sick and others are fully aware they are faking...

I was watching her videos at the time too and I remember she was filming in her kitchen while the guests were in her house. I remember wondering why she would film in her kitchen when they'd probably hear what she was saying about them and wouldn't that make things worse.

 

[butterfliesandhurricanes]

She also confirms that Carrie/Samantha is not adopted and her parents don’t have huntingtons. Also that she cut her family out her life years ago including her brothers.

but it’s just words on a random profile. I could do that lol. I think it’s suss that suddenly this random cousin has come out the woodwork. Im not saying this scam thing isn’t true I just think anyone can create a profile and pretend to be a family member

 

[femmegirly]

As much as it pains me to admit, that is a really well written, concise article. Lots of new information. Still can’t believe she has 3 kids!!

I wonder who the elusive, anonymous cousin is?

No mention of tattle, yet Reddit is newsworthy? Interesting that none of the tiktokers are mentioned. Them getting scammed is merely a footnote.

Re: husband
That ‘Olivia’ TikTok account posted a recording of her giving a talk at the St John’s theatre, and she keeps repeating ‘I will never post my husband on social media’ because she’s protecting his next wife. On her Instagram in 2021 she made reference to ‘wanting to find a farmer to marry’ implying she was single, so if she is married or has a partner. She must have met him/got married very recently.

Re job:
She’s not a software engineer. Her apps don’t exist. The tech that she talked about either already exists elsewhere or doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet. If she had invented something new, there would be patent information (either granted or pending) online. It’s 2022, if she worked in tech, there would be SOME mention of her work online.

She also mentioned in the essay that she will “never be able to get married”

 

[LunaAzul]

Might put a statement out stating I'm the prime minister.
Couldn't be further from the truth but by tiktok logic, it must be true if I make a statement about it.

I will believe you 100%. Anyone who doesn’t believe you is a hater and a troll. Shame on them!!
