Well - egg on my face after yesterday's post in here.

I was genuinely so upset for this lady and I'm SO glad this thread exists as I haven't seen any of the scammer stuff on Tiktok. Just hope she doesn't end up running a GoFundMe for legal bills etc and having kindhearted people giving up their money to her!

I’ve just seen the most demented video in support of her that’s recently been uploaded in TikTok. They are saying she CAN’T be lying because Netflix have bought her story and are doing a documentary on her and that it’s on Google so it can’t be wrong not mentioning the fact that the only person whose mouth that’s come out of is Carrie/Sam. I despair.

Maybe I’m naive but I can’t believe you’d call out a huge company like Airbnb (they were tagged a lot on twitter, and she said they watched her TikToks) if it was all fake? You’d be wary of them calling you out.

Surely Airbnb would be able to prove or disprove it if necessary
Airbnb have the sense not to comment until the case has been investigated, unlike people who would believe a mad claim on a TikTok video with absolutely no supporting evidence.

Bangor Wreath Co’s behaviour is making me feel very uncomfortable. I think she needs to remember that Olivia could also be a potential victim of Samantha’s. Possibly a far greater one than her or Krissie.

Also how odd to have all these videos on her business TikTok account. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her post about her wreaths! 🤣

I might really regret posting this is if it all comes out as true but...

Her videos kept appearing on my fyp since day 1, I think I only watched half of the first vid and immediately thought it was over the top with the crying etc and sounded like bullshit. I've scrolled past every single one since cause I just didn't believe this would happen over a doorbell. Feeling very pleased with my gut feeling today!

Again, this will be a dirty delete if it's true but I really don't think it is!
I felt kind of the same, I started seeing her on my fyp from the start of the whole “doorbell debacle” and then I kept seeing update posts where she never seemed to add any additional information. She never actually explained what the issue with the doorbell was just that they had allegedly complained about it but nothing specific. Then the story seemed to start pulling in a lot of views and every video I saw from her seemed to be more embellished than the last until it all seemed a bit ridiculous, I blocked her at this point as I was sick of hearing about.

Not that I have any evidence to support it but my impression is that she enjoyed the attention the videos brought so she kept talking about it and adding in extra details until now where it’s all got out of hand. It seems like based on the reviews about the check in times etc. that she’s may be a bit of a difficult host and they didn’t get along and she’s decided to say it’s because she’s disabled (I’m saying this as a disabled person myself). I’ve always felt that there’s a side to this story that we haven’t heard and she hasn’t been very forthcoming with any actual details/evidence of what the guests were complaining about in relation to her disability.

It raises so many questions! And it pokes even more holes in her poorly written statement!!

She said she had a bereavement, a shock, depression, PTSD, which is what they thought attributed to her memory and movement difficulties. This all sounds extremely similar to her ‘sister’s’ mental health who went through psychiatric problems when losing a child to cot death. If we go back to her statement and it’s constant useage of the word defamation, it’s hard not to ‘defame’ someone when they’ve gone through exactly the same issues as each other. They look identical, are the same age, and moved to Ireland at the same time?! I don’t think anyone - in her words - are going to face the ‘full force of the law’ for supposidly defaming her after this when she herself has written of mental health problems prior to diagnosis.


I will have to find the article but she was misquoted has Carrie Jade Wilkins twice within this article I believe. Nothing under that name at all? Also seen her first and middle name hyphenated in articles too?
Nope.
Nothing the would match her for Cameron Jade Williams
Carrie Jade Williams
Carrie Jade Cookes
Cameron Jade Cookes
Carrie Williams
Carrie Cookes
Cameron Williams
Cameron Cookes
Carrie Wilkins
Carrie Jade Wilkins
Cameron Jade Wilkins..
Ect ect
You get my drift.
Nothing.

Samantha Jade Cookes though, yes. Birth year 1988.. Mothers maiden name, Williams

I hope it’s all lies. Not so I can be proven right, but so there is one less woman with a terminal illness. She may be unwell in other ways, but huntingtons is such a terrible illness that I really fucking HOPE she’s lying. Nobody deserves that, regardless of their past.

All these hollier than thou, virtue signalling ‘believer’ tiktokers who actually WANT her to be telling the truth and WANT her to be terminally ill so they can prove all of us evil tattlers wrong really need to take a long hard look at themselves.
Yes! I also don’t want to believe there is a lobby group that’s cruel enough to sue a terminally ill woman because abled people can’t cope with being around them. People seem to have forgotten that element which is where I started to have doubts. I have never heard of such a court case or history of court cases like that - we have equalities law for a reason!

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 assumed the baby thing was true because it was part of her defence for the surrogacy scam, so surely she would have had to submit documentation for evidence? Maybe someone more clued up on law than I am might know. I would imagine if your primary defence is that you’d recently suffered a bereavement you’d have to submit evidence to prove that?

Can’t wait to see the reactions of all the people who were insisting she wasn’t a scammer at all and everyone was just bullying a poor disabled woman 😂😂. Newforestsara where you at?! 😂

She did a reply video to someone who commented about Huntingtons being genetic and said the gene came from her dad who she never knew 🤷🏼‍♀️. All very strange-did she mention lobbying groups to cover herself in case she was exposed or is she telling the truth ?? NewForestSara on TikTok said she’s done her due diligence and can’t find anything that proves she’s the ladies in the articles. I’m staying on the fence for now lol, hopefully I don’t get splinters 😬

I've been following this for the past few days. Its interesting that those against Carantha and those supporting her have made the whole situation worse.

Viewing some of the Tiktokers, a lot of them seem to think they have a responsibility to be involved, when in actual fact they should really have stayed out of the situation. You have some people actively telling others to buy her stuff and others waving their pitchforks out. Its amazing how dramatic some of the videos are.

I get why some people just want to find out the truth, but they are really messing around with someones mental health.

NewforestSara said that the "lobby group" behind the airbnb guests was the same lobby group that supported the bakers v gay couple. Saying things like that without any proof just causes more harm.

As for Samantha Cookes herself, I just feel she needs support. Its hard to know what the actual truth is, what triggered this chain of events that has meant she has ended up in the middle of this fiasco. But she really does need the help of professionals.

I like the two of them, I hope they get their money back and get peace from this! It's definitely a rabbit hole of a story ! On top of the stress of getting money back the emotional investment (carrie's story, the zoom calls and promises made etc) it must be horrible.

I also hope carrie / Sam gets the help she needs
I like them too! I’m not going to post the screen grabs, I just like to compile stuff because I love a timeline. So I’m sorry to all those on the live who think I’m trying to kick up a stink! Also they think I’m a man, not some bored 30 something woman who is really interested in what they have to say. Finally I am amused at people having to say “Squittel” out loud. I wanted to call myself “squirrel” originally but I misspelled it and stuck with it.

I just think it’s all too convenient that she’s deleted both her TikTok and YouTube channel as these allegations have emerged. Surely if you are at the centre of these kinds of accusations you would want to stand your ground and clear your name? Instead it seems she has just disappeared like Samantha Cookes did in 2013. She’ll probably pop up again in a few years under a new alias. I see a lot of people on TikTok throwing around ableist accusations at anyone who dares say anything against her and saying we are part of the lobby group (lol). It’s got nothing to do with being ableist, even if she weren’t disabled people would want answers to the very concerning information that has come to light. People will believe anything on the internet these days and if you dare speak out, you’re branded a bigot 🙄

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 🙃
That is so awful! 😔

It blows my mind how horrible they are to those who are genuinely questioning this situation. Look at this, honestly Sara’s replies are so aggressive. How can she say she’s being kind?! She’s being snarky and dismissive.

My suspicions were raised yesterday when she was talking about her shop and how they were concerned about Christmas delivery, so they were hiring a man and van to personally deliver everything by doing a tour of the country. That, to me, was a really strange, and impractical, thing to do.

I don't know whether she's the same lady that went missing or scammed the couple for surrogacy, but something hasn't sat right for a long time with this case and the TikToks have gotten more bizarre. The petition is strangely worded - "show the judge that disabled people aren't scary" For someone that is a writer and speaks well, that's a weird petition name.

What’s with all these tiktokers acting as if her statement is 100% proof she isn’t lying?!

its literally just a few lines written in a word document….anyone could say it was their sister, there’s literally no proof!
There’s a real lack of critical thinking on that app. Everything is taken at face value.

Hello, I've been digging around on Ancestry. There's a Samantha Jade Cookes (mother's maiden name Williams) registered in Gloucester in December 1988 which could well mean a November birthday. She then shows up on the electoral roll at York Uni halls in 2008, where she apparently drops out part way through her first year when she gets pregnant. I can't find any record of her after 2008.

Hope that ties things together a bit. She's definitely the surrogate one and the missing one doesn't line up with any other Samantha Cookes I can find. In fact I can't find one in Shropshire at all.

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
I'm curious how she manages to do all these things if she's so far into Huntingtons that she only has 2 years, even 5 left.
And also early alzheimers on top of it?

Especially to be doing a masters in neuroscience... Yet apparently can't remember when she was diagnosed and can never remember stuff that happened the day before?

The ‘scam’ element may not have outwardly been for financial gain due to her not having a go fund me, but her website (which was created in July this year conveniently when she started her tiktok) has sold lots of sensory items to tiktokers. I’ve seen a few on my fyp who claim to have sent her hundreds of pounds for items they haven’t received. THAT is the scam.
I’ve got a feeling that it wasn’t really about money at all. I think she clearly is mentally not ok, and clearly is a fantasist who gets off on the attention and sympathy.
