Might be a silly question.. But what are the lobby groups people keep talking about?
It's all over Twitter xYeah that person has no proof from the theatre and how would the theatre even know for sure either?
Lobby groups are groups set up to push government/local authorities/companies etc. to change their policies.Might be a silly question.. But what are the lobby groups people keep talking about?
They tweeted this too, I wonder whether it’s crossed wires or if someone went rogueIt's all over Twitter x
This is weird and completely unprofessional too. I’m not sure this is real. This whole thing is so weirdIt's all over Twitter x
Lobby grouos are things like the ones who have managed to pay people to stand outside uk hospitals to protest abortions. Sadly lobby groups in America managed to get powerful enough to make abortions illegal. It sounded insane but to me lobby groups being powerful enough to ban access to safe abortion in America sounds insane too yet where we are!Might be a silly question.. But what are the lobby groups people keep talking about?
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.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 bull. 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 didn't even realise that was a thing!Lobby grouos are things like the ones who have managed to pay people to stand outside uk hospitals to protest abortions.

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

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 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.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![]()
Is anyone able to watch the bbc video of Samantha Cookes to see if the voice/ features are the same of Jade?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.
You are a wonderful humanWell I've spent the day digging as I'm a surrogate
no you get a 404 error when you click it. It’s so old the video is probably not hosted on the site anymoreIs anyone able to watch the bbc video of Samantha Cookes to see if the voice/ features are the same of Jade?
BBC - Video Nation - TAKING MY MIND OFF IT by Samantha Cookes
Samantha Cookes has a hospital appointment in an hour but really doesn't want to go.: Video Nation short by Samantha Cookes : 14 Nov 2005 : Gloucestershirewww.bbc.co.uk
She could still be the person from the surragate scam, if she were 23 in 2011 for example birthday in October November December time then in 2013 she could well be 24 if it were early 2013 before her birthdayI think that people are correct that this woman went by Samantha Cookes in 2013 and is the same woman who went missing then. That photo definitely looks like her and it does mention Ireland.
What I'm not sure about is the surrogate scam. I can't tell if the photo is of her and the article says she was 23 in 2011, but then the Shrewsbury article says she was 24 in 2013. One of the journalists could just be wrong about the age, but I just think it's possible that there is another Samantha Cookes who committed the fraud.
She also could have a legitimate reason for wanting to change her name when she moved to Ireland that isn't related to scams (running from an abusive home etc).
I saw her videos about her AirBnB guests at the time she was posting them (a couple months back). I did think some of what she was saying was off at the time but I didn't think much of it beyond that. Her videos have popped up on my TikTok FYP a lot ever since, discussing the AirBnB thing but also just general videos about disability and her business. Most of the videos didn't have very high views at the time I saw them.
I don't think it's all been a "scam" in the typical way we see scams. She has been making videos a lot for months and not asked for money (other than her online shop but I doubt that got much sales). I do think she has probably lied about the AirBnB thing for attention. I don't want to assume she's also lying about having Huntingtons. She may have Huntingtons and made up this lie about AirBnB because of the depression that comes with a terminal diagnoses. Or, if she doesn't have Huntingtons I think she may have a mental disorder that's contributing to her behaviour.
I don't personally think someone trying to scam people would be stupid enough to lie about an AirBnB lawsuit that doesn't exist when they know AirBnB can just show the proof. I also don't think a scammer would play this much of a long game before asking for any money. I think she is probably mentally unwell and thrived on the attention of it all. I could be totally wrong, but either way the whole thing is very sad.
I just saw it. lol “I can neither confirm nor deny that she is the person in question I can confirm that the surrogacy story is true” okay you just confirmed it thenHer cousin Natalie Cookes has posted a video on TikTok. I looked her up on Facebook and she looks very like Carrie/Samantha. You can click through her profile and see the extended Cookes family all still living in Gloucester. The resemblance is uncanny. Very uncommon surname.
