Not only that but it backs up some of the things the other review from the "suing" people. She is extremely strict about quiet time, in particular, showers which they mentioned in their review. I have say her "They were 3 hours late to check in", made me chuckle. Check in has no set time, airbnb host or hotel. Just be there after x.

It seems from the other reviews is, if the guest does absolutely anything she doesn't like she shows them somewhere to stay which obviously is expensive as it is last minute and basically forces them to behave how she wants them to.

I have been following this from the start and been quite suspicious about it. She seems to have gotten more wild with the things she is saying as she has gotten more attention. I'm also not so sure I believe she has huntingdon's. A lot about her diagnosis process didn't make sense, for example, she said it runs in the family but she was misdiagnosed for a long time. If it runs in the family, they would test for it.
Regarding Huntingtons. You can only get tested as an adult after giving full consent and counselling snd if your mum or dad have it
It doesn’t usually present symptoms until the late 30’s

Do you think the amount she paid in compensation (£1890)View attachment 1636374 to the surrogate couple is linked to her website name (1820 things) in anyway?!
It says on her website

"I have operated various projects through my “1820 things” space- based on the concept that the average person with early onset Alzheimer’s Disease forget 5 words per day- or 1820 per year."

If the sure was 1890 things then maybe it's related but it's just a coincidence I'd say that they're similar

Anyone listening to The Real Carrie Jade podcast? This is so much better than the Sue Perkins one. Lots of really interesting and sinister stuff.

It would’ve been good for closure, who knows we may still get it??? I think options are

1. Done a runner
2. Arrested bailed pending further enquiries
3. Been sectioned ( I mean this as a kindness)

Lots of social media publicity around her now so if she tries it again it’ll be very difficult for her.

Right I found it! If anyone is interested apparently the person who has posted it has seen the whole video where she says her name is Lucy Hart, she was working as an au pair for the people taking the video. She nominates her mum Jane Hart and friend Hannah and Nathaniel. But they cut off the bit up to Jane Hart because there are children that rightly shouldn’t be plastered over the internet. Although grainy, you can tell it’s her. However without the first part it’s hard to really know 100% if she says her name is Lucy Hart but with everything coming out it seems very likely to be true.
This is incredibly sinister if she’s really been caring for children under a completely false identity 😳

Airbnb are well aware of this case. They have a dedicated Comms teams and complaints team, the case is probably closed and the Comms team strategic view is to say nothing, it was a private matter and nothing to add. She knows this and has run with the story herself

Your noticed in her last chunk of updates she only mentioned the lobby group taking her to court and not Airbnb.

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.
You don't need to apologise.
Everyone has different opinions on everything and that's okay.
You're entitled to post whatever you want and all it was was someone else's video you shared. You didn't upload them to tiktok.
You just posted them on here for discussion.
You've done nothing wrong

This is a tangent I know as we are filling in all sorts of gaps with speculation, but I know a bit about children in care from work and there’s some lobbying to increase the age for young people to track their parents - 18 is not the right age as biologically brains are just not fully formed until early 20s. For many it’s a really disruptive experience if it doesn’t go how they hoped.

Krissie shouldn’t have posted those notes. That was a shit thing to do and if I was her daughter (who was mentioned in the notes) then I’d be furious too. Krissie said her motivations were to just get her money back and prevent others from buying anything. She could have done that without sharing those notes. She just got carried away with her new followers and engagement.

If Olivia is indeed Sam’s daughter, she needs to get on with her life and not waste another single second thinking about what her mum did. I feel awful that this has all be dredged up again for her.

To compare a child to their abusive/criminal parent because they are still healing from that part of their life is not ok.

Just my two cents on the housing as I lived in a county a little further north. Where I was, house prices to buy/rent are higher than normal because of the mica crisis (worth a Google and signing your support if you want a genuine cause to get behind as it's awful). Also, since the end of spring people with spare rooms/empty properties are being offered large sums of money to house Ukrainian refugees. This, and the increase of extortionate airb&bs has made it very difficult to find housing.

If she had the means to buy somewhere that's relatively built up and in a tourist location, it would be costly. But raises the question how - did she use her real name? Or have forged documents? Ireland became quite strict with mortgages following the last recession but loosened a little with Covid but they aren't very receptive to applicants without a steady income or good income projections (I'd bother as a self employed person and had to submit all sorts of "evidence").

If she was leasing, they wouldn't allow airb&b or else turn a blind eye if the rent is being paid.

Social housing is hard to come by. It's based on needs so they wouldn't put a single person in a three bed family home when a family may need it, for example. If she was housed due to illness, they may look to have her in a bungalow (as it's easier to move around in) with a routine nurse/case worker visiting or if her health is declining look to house her in a home or community where she can receive around the clock care. I have friends in social housing and the routine property checks (so she can be allocated funds for new furniture or have maintenance work done) are frequent enough so it could be hard to "hide" the fact it's an airb&b?

Also, if she's in receipt of financial aid, this will be routinely assessed where she has to declare income and her bank accounts are monitored. Personally, I experienced a period of unemployment and received job seekers allowance for a few months while looking for work about 8 years ago. I would have home visits to check I wasn't subletting the empty room in my (privately rented) home. My case worker also had printed documents from my (then public) social media accounts like Instagram and LinkedIn, quizzing me on my activities and if any income was received (like helping out at a friend's birthday party). Im sure if this person was running an Airbnb while claiming income support she would be caught. Cash in hand can be hidden handy enough but PayPal receipts and bank transfers? Not so much!

I just thought the perspective could be helpful but mods please remove if needed.
that’s super invasive, is that the standard for Ireland? I’ve not heard of that happening as standard in the uk unless youve been investigated and suspected of lying

Oh I remember that now. Was there a follow up? I think it’s odd that the mum asked her to email her. If she knew for sure that there was no long lost child, she wouldn’t have entertained her
Re the email apparently the woman who gave Krissie the notebook also gave her an email address that Sam left behind. Krissie emailed it and low and behold it was sams mum and sams mum emailed a total stranger about her daughters private business

I reckon 'Olivia' is just another of Sam's made up personalities.
This is the only other option if Olivia isn’t who she says, no one else would go to all that trouble of using a name that is a real name of a child born 18years ago and finding images/vids of a very similar looking Sam.
But it’s also possible that Olivia is telling the truth.
Sam gets pregnant ( who knows the circumstances) mum forced her to give the baby up, sams mum registeres the baby using her maiden name) and it’s being a dirty secret for 18years. Now sams mum is hardly going to spill to a stranger on tt after all this time.

We don’t know anything but let’s not be naive and think shit like this doesn’t go on in families.

The whole 2 people who were scammed is a non story, the real story starts with a teenage Sam

Holy shit

no wonder it took so long, that's really good!

Of course she was a tenant running an illegal Airbnb business and not paying her rent.

At the risk of 'outing' myself here... I have a 30 year background in SEN education, both in adult disability provision, Acquired Brain Injury, and in Speech, Language & Communication provision. I have experience of Munchausens and Munchausens by Proxy.

I got caught up following Carrantha initially because, as a disability advocate, I was horrified at her reported experiences through Airbnb. I was fully prepared to fight on her behalf.

Very quickly I had an uncomfortable feeling - claims of the rapid deterioration of the brain concurrent with spectacular learning of new difficult skills (braille) didn't add up. Reports of losing the ability to read, but clearly reading quickly and fluently from notes didn't add up. And then came claims of having personally, rapidly and successfully developed AAC software that the SLT community either uses already, or would kill for...

I had a real inner battle- I'm a fierce supporter of the disability community and to feel doubt rising was horrible. But moreso, I am sickened that anyone might use a false mask of disability for clout.

As I thought about it more and examined what the motive might be, it seemed there was little to no financial scam involved - I understand there may be issues now around orders being filled but honestly that's probably a by-product of all this distraction.

It all seems to revolve around a deep need for attention and validation, and likely stems from the tragic loss of her baby to SIDS. I can only imagine the ways in which my heart and mind would shatter in that situation and truly, my heart hurts for her 😞

She seems desperately trapped now, creating the sister statement, but it's made things worse and the tiktok witch hunt is in full flow.

So... yeh. Who knows how this is going to pan out. But deep down, I kind of want to give her a hug. Weird.
The bit in bold really sticks out to me too. I'm considering applying for an SLT masters in a couple of years so you can probably guess what my undergrad degree was and have seen what brain cancer did to an experienced software developer. Don't believe she did that for a second.

Excuse me? As far as I am concerned this whole thing is a mystery, Olivia included. Therefore anyone who in my mind is even a possible “suspect” I want crossed off my mental list. I shared that because I assumed everyone else might want to know as this whole thing is very bizarre and every little helps, you know? Your attitude stinks.
I’m not being rude to you, I’m telling you facts. If you wanna play amateur detective and get involved with these things, go ahead. But don’t bring it to tattle, it’s against the rules and it gets threads shut down.

Just a note to anyone posting here: please do not post the notes that have been posted to tiktok.

I’m not attempting to mod, I am just saving the mods a job!

Changing the subject now, do we reckon that our journalist/investigator friend will come through and the long awaited article will happen?

The amount of people on TikTok that believe this is astounding!

Someone’s said to (who I think we’re referring to as) TikTok John that he doesn’t know Samantha Cookes as he didn’t know about the half brothers. I have half siblings many of my friends don’t know about. My Dad left their Mum for my Mum and they don’t talk to any of us. It’s completely plausible he didn’t know about the half brothers, but knew her.

I find it so odd that these Olivia person has managed to find an account of someone who looks like a younger version of Carrantha! I’m starting to think Olivia is CJW, and we’ve all been fooled by another made up person/story.

Is it owned by Cjw tho and she rents it out?
I think someone checked this a while ago and it’s not owned by CJW!!!
