I felt the same regarding the crowdfunding! I also thought it was a stupidly long response considering how she's not the victim here, her poor clients are that just want the raw, uneditted photos of their weddings. I thought it oddly dramatic of a statement when 'I am autistic, facing a mental health breakdown and I know I've wronged people and I want to fix it' would suffice. Looks as though a lot of people have offered help with editting, accessing photos etc too and she's just not responding well.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

Did you watch the second part? She's included outtakes at the end including a whacky clip of her glasses being wonky and a clip of her crying and repeatedly saying 'this isn't about me'. When asked why she included that in the comments she's said 'my videos are for me too'.
Like someone above said, she had an hour to make those self absorbed tiktoks why not spend an hour uploading people's raw photos to Dropbox etc. Also she's 'lost access' to emails etc. Email is free? Anyway. Rant over
It was even her "assuming I'm not the most hated photographer/disabled person on the internet"
Why did it need to be added in?
Couldve just stuck to hated person...
It all seems too much.
I saw her come up quite a few times before and she never used to speak the way she does now. So always thought there was something dodgy about her.
And now this has come about.
I always feel like someone is guilty when they throw in a lot about suicide ect.
Always feels like they're trying to get a free escape/throw some guilt

So many people have offered to edit the photos for free.
She said in a live that she has access to the photos

I found some old videos of her doing FB lives back in 2019/2020 promoting her photography business back then and she comes across like a whole different person. Plenty of eye contact with the camera, no stimming, seemed confident, spoke quickly, laughed a lot. I know ‘masking’ is a thing (I have ASD myself) but this was completely different to anything she has posted on TikTok so far, and it was only a few years ago. Complete juxtaposition to the girl rocking back and forth and speaking at snails pace she does now.
I personally don’t buy that she has ASD at all, I know people can experience it differently but too much doesn’t add up with her. She comes across very performative and even some comments she makes in response to people look blatantly forced and taken wrong purposefully. I find her ‘portrayal’ of ASD insulting, as do many others with autism.
Also interesting to note she’s not from the UK originally (she moved here when she was 20, she’s originally from Sweden) and she was married in 2016 but is no longer with the guy, so would assume she’s now divorced.
about the photos: she was ghosting people who had their weddings in July 2021 whilst continuing to shoot weddings up until August 2022 so her excuse about her health suddenly declining being why she didn’t deliver the photos is complete crap. She also has a post on her FB from 2018 about how important photographers insurance is. I’m wondering why if she had this she didn’t ever use to it compensate and/or battle the clients in court? Depending on the type of cover she had she may well have been covered.

I completely agree that she seems to be a portrayal of ASD.
It was my first thought when I saw her videos.
It doesn't surprise me others with ASD would find it insulting.
A couple of her clients said that she was nothing like she is now when she was a photographer and you wouldn't know she was autistic in the slightest, not even a hint.
As you said, masking is a thing, but if she is the way she is now, would she be able to mask that completely and come across completely neurotypical?
Exactly, the five star reviews she does have from that time all speak of how personable and funny she was and how easily she fit in with the large wedding parties she would shoot. Prior to being a wedding photographer she was a child/family photographer and a part time nanny, so she spent a lot of time with young children. I couldn’t imagine a worse job for someone with ASD than one working with and being responsible for kids.I completely agree that she seems to be a portrayal of ASD.

she fact she calls anyone who questions or doubts her ‘ableist’ is disgusting, trying to weaponise her supposed conditions by silencing people (often those who actually do have the conditions she’s claiming to have) is gross.
Started a thread for autistic.etc here: https://tattle.life/threads/autistic-etc.43113/
No clue how to start a new thread for Carrie Jade / Samantha Cookes though.

Update, her most recent alter ego is Sadie Harris. More victims. Sounds like she’s been au pairing again. Still in Ireland. Has been found out and has moved on again. Garda not interested.
I finished reading this thread a few days ago with no prior knowledge of the situation that started all of it off and towards the end I just sat open mouthed for alot of it.
To find out she has the audacity to have a new alter ego and start up again is just... I don't even know!! She's brazen, I'll give her that but I guess she'll carry on until she actually gets caught and punished.

There's a podcast out about her too!!
Is the one by Sue and the Journalist (I think?) Haven't managed to listen yet but I'm "excited" (not sure that's the right word) for when I do!
Yeah that's the one! It's good if you haven't been following the journey since day 1

How do you know this? Imagine being that brave to do it again. Is she not anxious as hell waiting to be caught again?
Another article. This time about where she was staying in Kenmare.

The Carrie Jade Does Not Exist podcast with Sue Perkins just did an episode with this update.
New podcast, it’s very good. Uses her voice in it from old interviews, very interesting. This was the podcast done with the victims knowledge.
Anyone listening to The Real Carrie Jade podcast? This is so much better than the Sue Perkins one. Lots of really interesting and sinister stuff.
