So has her statement on her website x
Oh I know, just the YouTube video about the statement is now gone for me (there were some comments asking how she could have a sister when she claims to not know her bio family)

Her statement will probably stay up because there's no way of leaving comments

Could it be bio sister? But i dont think it is as shes talking like its a blood related family member they could be twins if it wasnt for the weight difference

Agree stuff doesnt add up though somthing massivly off there the statements made more questions tbh
The guy who replied on tiktok says she isn't adopted and doesn't have a sister, just a younger brother. Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, he could be anyone chatting tit for a laugh, but the cousin has liked his comment saying the records I found are 100% her. Apparently has photos and letters from when they were younger and says he's spoken to a journo about this. I'll do a bit more digging on Ancestry later for "Carrie".

I would also like to state that my research supports this in terms of siblings.

This is all a con. She has scrambled to explain. She’s forgotten who she’s told what too and has realised she’s digging herself deeper.
I’m pissed off. I tweeted for her and left supporting comments on her insta and signed her petition.
This doesn’t help disabled people or their rights, it just makes people question if someone is genuine or not.
She needs mental health help.

🤦‍♀️

That's what I found too. Only Carrie Williams in the area was born August 1983, mother's maiden name Probert, death registered in the same quarter 🙁 ETA No Carrie Cookes at all anywhere.

I agree 100%. People are saying that those who are now doubting her story are ableist and just looking for a reason to bring down a disabled person but for me it’s the complete opposite. I 100% believed her on all of it and I know that makes me seem naive but I did. I was outraged. I even had my own tiktok video read to go in my drafts because I have a very small tiktok following as a result of some popular videos I’ve made.

I believed her completely because people ARE sometimes tit to disabled people. I started this thread because I was so touched by her plight. I never looked for any reasons to not believe a disabled person or to be ableist.

I in no way want to harass or bully or encourage anyone else to do so, but I am pissed off and I want answers. I’ve been commenting and supporting her since day one when her first video on the matter popped up on my FYP. People are now suggesting that anyone asking questions is ableist and I’m just not about that.

I’m sure I won’t receive any of the answers I’d like to and that’s fine but I’m in this rabbit hole now along with everyone else and I feel like there’s been significant dishonesty from her, particularly with the statement today and the sister thing. I do have thoughts about the Huntington’s thing but out of respect I am trying not to speculate on it further.

I had a look into her activism. The Irish Independent reported on “The installation, titled ‘A.I Robots and Spoken Word’, will be incorporating the future of technology with spoken word in Irish, English and Sign Language and it will launched at 7pm on the night.”. This is the Listowel theatre group from Twitter.
1. On the 3rd of April the event is advertised as a poetry day Ireland event.
2. On the 13th of April the facebook group announces that “Carrie Jade Williams is creating the first fully accessible art installation in Ireland that incorporates assistive technology, artificial intelligence, sign language and spoken word”
3. On the 22nd of April the event is promoted again and says “ AI robots alongside humans will get the chance to explore their words and explore the power of communication while pushing the limits of technology”. The promotional flyer for this has a picture of a robot (important for later).
4. On the 27th of April the venue promotes the event again but this time as a poetry event. Carrie’s name is not included in those listed but it does end in ‘…. and of course THE ROBOTS’
5. April 28th the theatre company posts some images and videos. It portrays this as a poetry event ‘curated by Carrie Jade Williams’. The only robots are robot fish held up in a fish bowl while a haiku is being read. The chairs appear to be visually sensory however. No mention is made of braille.
A twitter account using the same robot picture from the earlier flyer called @speakingrobots with the byline “we are an art installation attempting to integrate accessible robots in the art world”. It doesn’t appear to show any robotics but has pictures matching the sensory lights similar to the facebook pictures. The account appears inactive shortly after this event.

Every claim I’ve heard about her sounds convincing and even survives a quick google but when you look a little closer it starts to fall apart.
I hope I am wrong though and there is a better explanation for all of this.

Just take comfort in the fact that YOU did a good thing. You had good intentions toward someone disabled, and did what you can to support her.
At least this saga has confirmed there are good people in the world who will help and speak up for disabled people

Hey I'm disabled/chronically ill and thought something was off when I saw the accessible doorbell video ages ago. Questioning this isn't ableist. People lying and bullshitting like this is what harms us. Please don't feel bad for initially supporting her, your intentions are appreciated ❤

I'm personally less interested in if she has Huntington's or not and will leave that to people who know more about it. I do get munchie vibes (possibly just exaggeration, idk) but it's everything else around it that's more interesting imo.

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!

Re Netflix she has claimed they're doing a documentary on her and she's sold a script to them in different interviews. She can't keep on top of her lies at all. For basically everything she has said there is a contradiction, by her! When you are scamming for a career and you can't even keep your own lies straight, maybe time to look for something elsem

Ancestry stuff

Sorry if this is a bit jumbled, had to work backwards.

- Samantha Jade Cookes, mother's maiden name Williams, birth registered in Gloucester December 1988, could mean November birthday to match her company records. A cousin and someone who apparently knew her growing up (will call him Tiktok John) say this is her, birthday November 1988.
- Samantha Cookes is in Gloucester until 2008, when she shows up in York University halls. The Samantha Cookes who pulled the surrogacy scam dropped out of York Uni in her first year, 2008. I do believe the part about her losing her baby as evidence must have been submitted in her court case. There is, unsurprisingly, no public record of her after 2008.
- Cousin says she's the one that went missing 2013 and ended up in Ireland.
- The only other Cookes with mother's maiden Williams in Gloucester is indeed a younger brother. I'll not name him for privacy reasons, he's nothing to do with this. No sisters. This is what her cousin and Tiktok John say.
- Tiktok John says her dad's name was Les and he died a few years ago. There is indeed a record for a Leslie Cookes in Gloucester, about the right age, died 2016. His middle name is the same as the possible little brother but it is a very common one. I found his brother's name and an obituary names all the people I came across on my Facebook travels.
- Leslie Cookes married a Williams in 1987. As above, had Samantha in 1988 and a younger brother.
- Leslie Cookes married a Smith in 1970. They had two sons and I've found them both via the cousin's Facebook. These would be the two older half brothers people are giving the cousin tit about in tiktok comments - she originally said Samantha only had a younger brother as the half brothers are older and never lived with her. Ancestry puts them as teenagers when Samantha was born so this seems legit to me.
- There is no Carrie Cookes at all. Anywhere. There were a few Carolines born in the 1800s.
- The only Carrie Williams in Gloucester had a different mother, was born August 1983 and death registered the same quarter.
- There's one Carrie Williams with mother's maiden name Williams born in Shropshire but she's too young and I can't link her to any of the rest of them. It's quite a common name in Wales and along the English side of the border.

It's 100% all the same person and hopefully her family can be left out of it now.
