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!
What makes me laugh with some of these TikTokers, is that they are saying certain accounts questioning Carrie/Samantha have caused others to bully her, send death threats etc, and that these accounts need to be held accountable for ‘spreading lies’. Yet they are doing exactly the same? Naming names and allowing people to bully etc. Why are they not being held accountable for their actions? Bullying, death threats etc are not ok. But if they really want to stop all of this horrible behaviour, they’d report the threating comments/posts, they’d stop talking about Carrie/Samantha, and they’d move on with content they’d usually create. They are the ones actually fueling the fire on TikTok!

Yep, I think so too.

Wish this had all come out earlier yesterday, I wouldn’t have bothered taking the time to do the write ups 😂

As I was writing I did think the name Jade didn’t suit her. I thought she looked more like a Victoria, and my brain groups Samantha and Victoria as being similar names, so there is that 🤷🏼‍♀️
Your write up was helpful - I’d only scrolled past the TikTok’s she had posted so it was good to see the actual story.

I have no legal knowledge but if the guests were suing her, wouldn’t the review and the subsequent replies have to be hidden by Air bnb until the case was resolved?

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?
I literally cannot get over her trying to explain away the news article and claim it’s not her by saying ‘I’m old and fat so can’t be me’… well yeah that picture was taken like 10 years ago? Gives you a fair amount of time to change!

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.
Yes she really reminds me of someone I used to know who was a compulsive liar. The purpose of most of her lies were just to make herself sound like a victim (she’d been abused/raped/bullied/raised in abject poverty), and everyone just believed her because why would you lie about things like that? However it was all of the other pointless, little lies she also told which tripped her up and got her exposed in the end, which is what I think has happened here with this lady. Her story is unravelling because she has told too many different lies at different times and has clearly forgotten what she has said.

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.
I agree that something like that happened as I also saw her videos at the time.

We've seen proof that she was an AirBnB host and she did get a bad review from someone. It looks to me like she's taken what actually happened and completely made up a story based on the kernel of truth for attention.

She mentions her disability in the response to the reviewer on AirBnB, and also claims that they were ableist towards her. As you said she seems like a difficult host, so I do believe she really did have an AirBnB guest that pissed her off but she's then created a huge fiction around it. I'm can't be sure it was for a money grab.

I can't be sure that she hasn't got Huntington's. I know people are saying she can read etc, but it could be that she's lying about how advanced it is but still has it. If she does or doesn't I think she's mentally unwell to be going this far with the lies.

I'm blown away by this. If it's true she's a very good actor.

She does look a LOT like that Samantha Cooke.

What I'm finding suspicious though, is the videos linking her to Samantha Cooke seem to now have been mostly deleted 🤔
I think there was a lot of pushback from people saying it was out of order to accuse her without super clear proof and it could put her at risk of unaliving herself. They deleted the videos because of the pressure and people people thought it was just a witch hunt.

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

So she's threatening legal action but saying she won't even be alive for the court hearing with the air bnb thing or money from counter suing.
But she'll be alive long enough to sue everyone for defamation?

Jesus. I’ve been following this lady since day one, the night she was locked in her kitchen and terrified. And now I find out I might have been conned? This is genuinely hurtful. I hope so much she hasn’t been lying. Disabled people are so often accused of being fraudsters and fakers. But this story has started to look more like a tangled web of lies… 😟
I've seen so many people say that people are just saying these things because she's disabled and they're never believed. When that isn't the case at all.
They don't believe her based on her past. Not the fact she's disabled

It’s possible that she was Samantha Cookes and did some batshit things 10 years ago. But it could also be true that she had issues with an Airbnb user and has huntingtons. It’s not all or nothing.
yes agree with this. It doesn’t mean this didn’t happen. I also read the article which said this Samantha was spared jail because she lost a baby to cot death and wasn’t in the right state of mind. People do things and people do change. I’m worried this is becoming a witch hunt already with little evidence. Very confusing

I’m pissed.
I bought into it, I was going to buy sensory equipment from her for my disabled daughter, i was literally seconds from buying and something in me thought nah I’ll wait for a bit, then all this came to light and im glad.

Is she claiming Samantha is her sister? I was sort of on the fence before but this has sealed the deal for me that she’s lying if she is saying samantha is her sister!

had no reason not to believe it, so just took it at face value
Same 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve heard of stranger things happening and disabled people being bullied isn’t unusual.

Yeah, the whole thing is batshit.

She lives in a beautiful town that is hard to get to - crappy public transport, and most tourists will go there on a driving tour of the Iveragh peninsula, with its mountains and cliffs and old roads that you cannot speed on, and places where you want to stop and take in the amazing views, and sometimes really bad weather, so you can't guarantee a strict arrival time.

She is batshit. She is a scammer. The whole town knows it. (I'm in the next county over) I am just staggered that people will take such an outrageous story at face value.
Yeah, I can believe that - I was once driving round the burren in the west of Ireland and mist descended and we were unable to see even a metre in front of us. Scary.

So she is well known to be a scammer?

That’s sad, I hoped there was some truth to it because making something up to that level seemed so odd and sad. I started this thread to support her (naive, I know.) because it seemed so awful, I had no idea how quickly it was going to take a turn.

Re-uploading this as it wasn’t in order and also needed to blank some people’s identity!


Looks like this whole Carrantha debacle is being investigated by a journalist with a background in forensic mental health.

It will be interesting to see if she can provide anything that hasn’t been found out already. I think it’s a very dodgy subject to report on because while there are some clear bits of evidence that point to everything about her being questionable, nobody is going to want to publicly call her out on not being disabled for fear of backlash and ableist commentary. Even if she does interview a neurologist about the claims, there could be significant backlash.
She says not all discussions have been going on publicly which makes me question if she knows more than we do? She’s also got expertise in forensic mental health so I imagine anything she writes will be carefully written and articulated well. She’ll only get backlash from the Carrantha tiktok fans! I’m looking forward to reading it and hearing the truth!!!

Greatbutton - I know you’ve said you don’t want to be educated on the disease, but I’d like to inform you that it’s actually spelled ‘Huntington's’.

Gosh this is shocking, very well put together. There’s quite a few things that I was always confused about but now make a lot more sense. I haven’t read the whole thing but I’m at the part where I child now needs therapy after CJW acted as her therapist. Absolutely sickening.

Just finished reading, god it’s like a horror movie. The fact EVERY woman interviewed for this has expressed fear of her and that she’s somewhere probably under a new identity and starting all over again is terrifying. I assumed it was just scams and just felt frustration at the fact she was still out there, now it’s just straight on terrifying.

I think what the new forest Sara crew are forgetting is that a lot of those who have potentially lost money are either disabled or carers. This woman was promising not just a couple of sensory bits, she was promising to deck out entire rooms with this equipment. Some of them have spent a lot of money because they saw it as a really good deal and were able to support another disabled person in the process. Of course they can “just contact their banks” but they will still be out of pocket in the short term and incredibly stressed about it. Some people aren’t able to just go “oh it’s just a couple of hundred quid” because they are living on disability allowance.

And just maybe she’ll still come through and that would be amazing, but regardless of whether or not she is disabled, the people she is causing upset to is OTHER DISABLED PEOPLE ffs.

What really makes me laugh is tik tok-ers making videos on either side of this that say things like ‘I know that she is being genuine/lying’ and you immediately think OOOOooooih someone who ‘knows’ something!!! But it isn’t.. it’s just someone who’s SO SURE that they are right because they have watched a video and googled something 😂

Having spoken to Bangor Wreaths privately I can say with 99.9% certainty that she is not responsible for the Olivia/Geordie accounts. Still no idea who is though or what the whole situation is there 🤷🏼‍♀️
You’re going to end up getting exposed if you do shit like this and trust me, it won’t be worth it. Stop taking it off tattle.

I used to love newforestsara but the way shes done videos against maz and primalempress just being so dam rude theres no need to do rude video responses if you dont agree with them fine but god she just came off as a right cow in them videos
I can’t fucking stand that woman, it’s so obvious she thinks she’s far more intelligent than everyone else, and this just makes me dislike her even more lmao.
Also she actually believes the whole ‘lobby group’ nonsense as well. What fucking lobby group? Who even are the couple who supposedly kicked off about the airbnb in the first place? It all makes zero sense whatsoever and to question it is not hateful or defamatory.
