Zoey Arielle

[triskelos]

I searched for a gossip thread on her some time ago, but didn't find anything. I was thrilled to find this one now.
I used to watch everything Zoey was posting in her Rome days, because I also live in Italy, I'm also a foreigner here, and I could relate to her minimalism videos because I lived out of a suitcase for years. I was also watching manifestation videos at some point, as I was at the time quite desperate for certain opportunities in life and thought that, as I already worked hard on making them happen, thinking positively on top of that can't hurt (I, of course, deconstructed all of that privileged BS since then, but also got the opportunities I wanted)). so, it was fun to watch her for some time, but the first red flag for me was that cryptic training in Londond and then ayahuasca (I'm really scared of drugs and even though I don't see anything wrong in the concept now, that time it re-e-eally rubbed me the wrong way). Then her coaching career, which is basically preying on people who are desperate for a change in their lives (like I was before and, more importantly, how Zoye herself was). But then it was just one travesty after another - that stupid podcast with Lauren when they literally once said "you should not be afraid to take a leap of faith, because if you are listening to us now, you definitely were never homeless" (bitch, what?!), an "acting career", "starseed awakening" and all that woo woo stuff, and "we are such big friends with Aaron Doughty" (who went batshit crazy some time before, but honestly - when a guy like him starts growing out his hair to look like Jesus, it's game over, next time we will see him in a Netflix/Prime new cult documentary). By the time she decided to sell everything and move to Bali, I was not even hate watching her. But I check in from time to time to make sure I was right - desperation and altright/red pill/Qanon and other trash deep fried her brain. It's a pity, though - if Zoey from her Rome days was still making vlogs about eating gelato somewhere, I might have even watched her now.

In preparation of Zoey’s return to Italy and inevitable lapse back into her Italian alter-ego “Vita”, let’s have a look back at some of her finest displays of linguistic prowess:

---
Apart from how cringe her Italian was, the stories with Anastasiya are just plain annoying. Anastasiya herself was always LOUD AF so imagine these two screeching at each other from the street. I am pretty sure they got noise complaints from their neighbors.

Another week, another... fast. O_O
It seems she fasts more than she eats! AND it seems like she's developing a version of orthorexia.. being so obsessed with clean food/cleanses and purity. Yikes.

If my friend turned into a conspiracy antivax whacko I would drop them. I don’t care if we were “grande futuro” girls together.

Yeah, I'm not sure wtf Sofie is doing. I would hope just humoring and caring for an obviously unwell friend. But I REALLY hope we don't see her take a weird turn after Zoey's visit. The manifesting woo woo privileged BS is stupid enough.

GIRL S T O P

 

[Qwerty333]

She’s completely bonkers and needs to step away from social media.

 

[hgfyu]

Zoey posted a vlog today where she declares she’s “officially” living in Texas now, but is she doing it legally? Canadians need a visa to live in the U.S. more than 6 months within the period of a year… does she just plan to leave at the 6 month mark for half a year??

She’s probably getting around it by traveling to different countries for the other six months out of the year. She plans on going to Europe this summer, then she’s already spent time in Costa Rica and she usually spends a month or two in Canada.

I’m waiting for her to claim she has one of those special people/Einstein visas and that’s why she’s able to stay here.

 

[hgfyu]

She sounds so shady talking about tax havens

I haven't really followed her so closely, what's with the running away from Canada thing? I get we all might not like the country we come from but she sounds in need of serious therapy.

Seriously. Why would she admit to doing this in an Instagram story lol. I can’t believe I used to like her.
---

Apart from not wanting to pay taxes, which I’ve never heard her talk about before (and I don’t think living in Western Europe is the solution for that anyway?), I am pretty sure she just doesn’t want to live in Canada anymore because she is an antivax lunatic. Her big push to go to Bali was because of feeling “cooped up” from the pandemic - yeah, join the freaking club. The whole world was feeling it.
Plus living in Canada isn’t exotic or brag worthy
---


lmao, you’re right. She said she could cross off some of her vision board goals that she’d already achieved, and she didn’t explain what the beach guy was for.
I would argue she could check off the “thinspo” one but I think she’s developed body dysmorphia to some degree
---
T minus 11 days to her re-entering her pretentious italiana era. How much do we want to bet she will still pronounce things wrong like “on-day-amo” (andiamo) and “troppo grande/difficile/etc.”… oh and who could forget, “morto” instead of “molto”?

The latter she adopted as a way to seem more “Roman” (since Romans sometimes replace the L sound for an R).

Now she’s going to Sicily so she’s going to say “amunì” and “trùoppu bedda” while still not being able to formulate a complete sentence senza Google translate.
Too bad her study visa in Italy was such a waste of money, maybe if she had taken it seriously it could have led to something

Her life trajectory the past few years has been so odd.

The website she showed is called Nomad Capitalist and listed places like Andorra, Monaco and Malta. Like she’s some multi-millionaire trying to find a tax haven because evil Canada wants to take all of her money.

She’s surely going to be releasing a new course soon about how to escape to the country of your dreams (and how to dodge taxes while you’re at it.)

There’s no way she isn’t bitter that she didn’t find *the one* like her friends in Italy and France did.

 

[Denise0211]

Omg, her voice/shrieking is like nails down a chalkboard. I had really forgotten how bad her Italian efforts were. That said, it's still a time when I considered her somewhat "normal", and at most, just kind of dumb and superficial. Look at her now!

 

[moronglace]

Definitely bitter that the Italian government didn’t gift her with residency just because she loved Italy so much.
I think in her last year there Italy was really starting to wear her down. Reality burst her bubble.
Interested to see how her Sicilian adventure unfolds.

 

[moronglace]

Girl what is this thinspiration nonsense on your vision board get some help plz
---

Yikes. Does anyone know where she’s moving to exactly?

She is moving to Peru soon and a few more places in central/South America I imagine. Then she just posted she’s going to be in Italy from June to August.
Looking forward to her being back in her cringey Italiano era 🤌🤌🤌

 

[moronglace]

Ok, that was funny!

I hadn't checked out Zoey since you mentioned this thread, but she still looks very very thin.

And I agree about her robo-speak lol!

I just saw she uploaded a blog about moving to Mexico and I was shocked at how she was sucking in so hard at the beginning of the video.

Normal relaxed torso while setting up her space.

Super sucked in while sitting down in front of the camera. And it’s intentional too, she could have just cut to her face but she specifically framed the shot to show her abdomen.
I’d joke and say someone get Danae Mercer on the case but it’s apparent that Zoey has developed some unhealthy body image issues.

 

[Denise0211]

I'm stuck on "loose myself." Lol. It's a pet peeves.

But yes, I saw this and rolled my eyes as well.

 

[moronglace]

I can’t wait to hear Zoey speak even more bad Italian and act like it’s improved so much compared to five years ago.

I mean, see above. She is already doing it. And I compare the way she speaks to a friend of mine who has been attending a language school in Torino for 9 months. Unlike Zoey, it sounds like natural speech from a person who is actively thinking in that language and forming sentences. Not just regurgitating a Google translation.

I searched for a gossip thread on her some time ago, but didn't find anything. I was thrilled to find this one now.
I used to watch everything Zoey was posting in her Rome days, because I also live in Italy, I'm also a foreigner here, and I could relate to her minimalism videos because I lived out of a suitcase for years.

Then her coaching career, which is basically preying on people who are desperate for a change in their lives (like I was before and, more importantly, how Zoye herself was). But then it was just one travesty after another - that stupid podcast with Lauren when they literally once said "you should not be afraid to take a leap of faith, because if you are listening to us now, you definitely were never homeless" (bitch, what?!), an "acting career", "starseed awakening" and all that woo woo stuff, and "we are such big friends with Aaron Doughty" (who went batshit crazy some time before, but honestly - when a guy like him starts growing out his hair to look like Jesus, it's game over, next time we will see him in a Netflix/Prime new cult documentary). By the time she decided to sell everything and move to Bali, I was not even hate watching her.

Welcome! I had the exact same feeling when I found this thread, because of course her videos are heavily monitored for negative comments and you will get shadow banned for using certain words. I’m glad that I had a place to share my concerns about how she was consuming too much conspiracy and Q-anon related content, and I’m glad that others have seen it too. Now a good chunk of that content has been deleted, but we remember what she has done.
Even though I still found her a little annoying back in her early Rome days (in a ditzy way, not like a “you’re immensely privileged and ignorant” way) her videos were kind of entertaining in some unexplainable sense - maybe when I see them I am reminded of the time when I was also obsessed with Italy, it gives me nostalgia for the passion I had for learning the language and the excitement I felt when I was about to visit Italy (and visit my partner who was waiting for me there). So watching her old videos has that sentimental value for me, and I can say I miss when the most annoying thing about Zoey was when she continued to say “andiamo” wrong - not when she was peddling antisemitism disguised as conspiracy.

 

[hgfyu]

I always thought that she was bitter about having to leave Italy four years ago and her recent stories make me think that was true.

 

[hgfyu]

Totally! Now that I rewatch it, it's a lot of rambling but here are the highlights:

1. She hasn't posted on her main channel for a lot of reasons...
   1. She was burnt out in Bali, needed to heal
   2. She likes to separate her vlogs from "sitting down talking videos"
   3. She's had to deal with internet stalkers, there was an incident in Bali that especially scared her, she's not sure if she's going to make a video on it or not.
2. Not sure what she wants to post on her main channel... some people don't like certain topics she talks about, but says she's just going to go ahead and post whatever she wants (ok...)
3. Plugs her Digital Nomad Academy coaching course
4. Feels like there is another Italy chapter in her future, thinks she will settle in Florence eventually
5. In England she was doing advanced Kambo practitioner training, in order to: "support people who have cancer or different type of physical
   illnesses or ailments... or taking them off of antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication"
6. She's living her life for her now

What a coincidence she wants to settle down in an Italian city where her only friend in Italy around her own age lives.
I’m not even going to comment on the kambo thing because whattt. I remember her talking about some psychedelic mushrooms curing cancer and other serious ailments a while ago and that’s just so shitty to me.
I’m guessing this “stalker” was a creepy guy who wanted to date her and followed her around and not someone from the Internet, because she’s barely relevant these days.

 

[hgfyu]

Looks like Zoey is dating fellow “content creator” Dan Rodo whose channel is called “The Danocracy”. Hope he isn’t an Aaron Doughty type conspiracy theorist

I looked at his yt and he has over 1 million subscribers but only gets around 3k views on average Zoey’s always given me clout chasers vibes, she probably was interested almost immediately

 

[Denise0211]

She liked this post lol

I’m pretty sure this is exclusively for retired people and well-off real estate investors.

It's definitely for retired people, or wealthy people with a passive income. She will never be approved since you cannot work/earn directly with it. She'll need to show social security, dividends, rental income and/or investments with constant return. They don't take savings into consideration. She's better off just going for Italy's golden (investment) visa if she's got the money lying around.

ETA: All passive income is taxed by Italy as well, so she won't be thrilled with that.

 

[Denise0211]

Ugh. Again I haven't had any notifications for this thread!

Overall I expected worse content from Zoey, but agree she doesn't seem to havevaxreal plan or be in the moment. Also, slow claps for her disordered eating content.
