To be honest having gone back and read all the reviews on her Airbnb and her responses posted earlier in the thread and she doesn't actually seem like a very nice person at all

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.
I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but just wanted to respond to the Huntindons part.

My Sister in Law has Huntindons in her family. Her Dad is in end of life care.
However, doctors will not test for it or even suggest testing for it. In her case at least. You have to ask to be tested yourself and have to have counselling and a lot of support beforehand.
My Sister in Law had several things that could be linked to Huntindons, but they have never suggested being tested.
Her and her sister decided themselves to be tested and went through 6 months of counselling before they even did the test and then when receiving result, had to have the mental health team in with them.
It isn't as straight forward as doctors just sending you got a test if you have symptoms.

So my FYP has thrown up some random vids tonight, apparently her names Samantha Cookes? She reported herself missing, defrauded a couple out of surrogacy money! Google looks like it is her????

I was wondering if this was a person with no health conditions at all and did this; would the TikTok community be as cautious??

I do think she should be treated as any other person who is running a scam (monetary or not) and the truth should come out.

The research here is outstanding, this is why TL exists as a collective you find the truth!

I believe she's done a runner now, off somewhere remote where people won't know her. Wouldn't be surprised if she popped up somewhere like Shetland or Inverness 😂

When I read some of her stories / articles it just felt fictional? I don't know writer terms so I can't describe it better than that 😂 but it makes me think she would rather stay in the UK somewhere in a remote lovely area to create this little fictional world again

The Alzheimers people have removed her from their app article by changing the title and taking her out of it. You would think they would be looking further into it and not just quietly removing her?

I really hope this article comes out! I'm so ready for it!
the 1820 website needs taken down as well!

not a good idea to spread misinformation even as comical hyperbole. She never said identical twin sister.

It is possible that both her and her sister were adopted. Sibling sets get adopted frequently. It is possible that the other sister is the one people are showing articles of - the pictures don’t look identical to “Jade” - as she says she’s heavier than the lady in the pictures.
I just think that statement hasn’t done her any favours at all. It needs to be much clearer. The fact that it’s ambiguous leads me to believe she hasn’t in fact taken advice from a legal team like she says.
I’m personally reluctant to take any major stance on this as I don’t want to be any part of what could be deemed as a witch hunt of a terminally ill/disabled woman. I just wish the facts were clearer!

I got a horrible comment back on tiktok when I replied to a comment about Samantha showing up on Ansestery and no Carrie.

"Maybe you should consider if your life is valuable enough to be on this planet if you're questioning what a disabled person has said, because I'd say it's not"

It's okay for them to be horrible to everyone else but doubting a possible fraudster is wrong just because she's disabled 🙃
So if I say the same thing as a disabled person...? They just gonna eugenics me? What a bunch of twats. Able bodied people acting like this on our behalf helps nobody.

Anyway, someone on reddit said they can't find any trace of her baby so I went to check as I'd just assumed what was said in court was correct. No record of this baby. I checked under maiden names Cookes and Williams and nothing. Did she register it under another fake name? You can't have those records hidden, can you?

PS has anyone actually seen these death threats? Cause I haven't and this shit is straight out of the JM Grifting Handbook.

I came across her in her early days she had a very low level of followers 2k i think and I added a polite message and tagged all mainstream media. She instantly deleted my post.

I think what‘s happened, she got a bad review and to rant and get some followers to promote her shop she made up this elaborate story that then went crazy, she loved the attention and its gone mental in her TikTok’s and attention since. She’s clever she did a whole video mentioning the Airbnb founders name on it knowing he doesn’t have or engage in social media except a twitter account that is business managed.

As for her disability I can’t comment as I have no understanding but she mentioned she is terminally ill in every single video, that is not normal.

Airbnb and the mainstream media are not commenting for a reason, they don’t want to get involve, they know she is lying. I bet This Morning reached out for a tv interview and she turned them down.

Only time will tell if this journalist has anything worthy to write. I have a feeling the truth is going to come out and it’ll be bigger than Tattle and Reddit.
Ironically it might actually end up as Netflix material!

I’m happy they are checking on her, but my god that woman who made that video is such a div.

Going on about people being vigilantes (which I have seen no indication of) and saying that people are saying “awful things” (honestly, I haven’t seen these awful things - I’ve only seen speculation and disappointment) and that we should stop saying anything, while contributing to it herself and now doing some performative welfare check which she quite easily could have done without the wishy washy video. She’s just another one doing it all for clout.

I can’t see how people can’t tell that this is the same person? This is how she’d looks 10 years later and with weight gain. Look at the mouth, nose & eyebrows.

‘Samantha cookes’ did the surrogate scam in 2011
She then went missing in 2013
The pink image is ‘Samantha Cookes’ in 2005, looks like she entered a short film competition about .

tbh I feel like her real name is Samantha Cookes and she has used aliases afterwards. No one would want anything to do with her otherwise, cause you’d google her name and the scams would come up.

Just posting one of the articles she’s written incase they become relevant! Apparently previous medical professionals including a psychiatrist have misdiagnosed her as having stress, anxiety, depression before getting her diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease.

How was that published? They do not test for Huntington’s like that. It’s not a routine test. If there’s any possibility of Huntington’s, you are referred for genetic counselling. They don’t just take you into a room and go “You’ve got Parkinson’s, ALS and Alzheimer’s all at once!” 🙈

And let’s just say it did happen that way, that is next level negligence by the neurology department which no one would just walk away from.

Omg I was all up for giving her the benefit of the doubt with my post this morning and I’ve been out and just read the statement and I’m dead.

✨identical twin sister✨

NOTHING MAKES SENSE.

I don’t think you are trying to excuse her actions as mental illness but can we just be clear that this is more than mental illness or mental health problems. This woman is calculated in her search for victims, ensures they are vulnerable and in most cases befriends them and hits them at their lowest.

These are the actions of somebody who is knowingly causing harm. Undoubtedly there’s some trauma and mental health issues in there but there is absolutely more to her actions than that. I don’t know whether there’s a personality disorder in there, it seems possible but to repeatedly hurt people over the course of 10+ years in the way she has requires more than mental health issues and personality disorders, in my opinion anyway.

I’m not targeting you directly but lots of people on tiktok are going down the “she needs mental health help” route, which she clearly does, but it won’t heal her from being a shitty person at her core.

Just a wee update for anyone interested, I’ve heard there’s another article coming possibly this weekend in an Irish newspaper. Should be interesting if it happens!

I actually don’t think she was in it for the money. I think it’s possible it was more attention based. I don’t want to speculate too much more about whether she actually has Huntington’s (I have a bit already and I don’t feel good about it) but she talks a lot in her articles about having a good pension and having cash to leave to her godchildren. She also seems to own her own house and is able to give away the money she made from Airbnb (allegedly according to some woman I have never met in Tiktok so…) so I feel like she is somehow quite well off. Yes it’s possible she is playing the long game but most of these people who have chronic illnesses (whether confirmed or not) seem to mostly get off on the attention they get. I think this is an attention thing. (Although of course if this all turned out to be true then she rightfully deserves attention regardless of her past)

Correct me if I’m wrong but does anyone find her statement contradictive?

She wasn’t aware of the full history of her sister’s mental health difficulties, but in the next breath is saying that she’s had a long history of mental health difficulties and hasn’t had any legal trouble in a decade. Surely if she knew of her legal woes, she’d know of her mental difficulties no?
Yeah that makes no sense lol. And still no proof that she isn't Samantha. Looking forward to the police/solicitor letter turning up anyway, wonder if they'll beat Jack Monroe's Essex Police Celeb Squad to it.

I don’t think anyone will ever know the full story to be honest. It seems to me that this person, whatever her name, has some deep rooted mental health problem like Munchausens, Scitzophenia, or any other thing I can’t spell. No, I am not diagnosing her, but I’m seeing multiple personalities that are/have lived very strange scenarios out and that although there may be truth in certain aspects of what she is portraying, it seems to me that she really believes she is being honest, when I’m fact she’s just creating her own narrative that puts her in the spotlight as a victim.

I hope I have not offended anyone by saying that. I realise I have not explained myself too well. But anyone ever had a friend or partner who’s a pathological liar? They aren’t consciously making stuff up, it just becomes part of their persona over time. I hope someone steps in and helps because she has put herself as risk and is in too remote/specific a place to protect herself.
