While showering, primping in the mirror before I leave (yes, I primp......at my age it's necessary!) I was thinking about this Stephanie stuff.

If, and I cautiously say IF since everything is conjecture until it's not!, she genuinely is up for some sort of review due to a violation on Patreon, I was thinking of the time frame of not only this post from Brenda about Patreon and how Stephanie's money is her money......and then recalled Stephanie did a recent vlog detailing the upcoming renovations (which were the same renovations she's noted for the past three years). Then I thought about the fact that even after ALL THIS MONEY from Patreon was garnered under the guise of renovation, she did a GoFundMe to raise money for that.

Did Stephanie know something was coming? Is this why she chose to recently vlog about what would happen renovation-wise moving forward?

Patreon can't be happy that she used them to grift a monthly amount for renovation of the chateau which never happened (despite the fact that they, too, got their share of the money) but then she went to GFM to get additional money TO RENOVATE....when that was the stated reason for Patreon, as so adeptly detailed by Brenda.

I think it's all of a piece. We'll know more, perhaps, or we won't. If she's thrown off Patreon, we'll definitely know the jig is up there, but there are numerous ways to continue the grift. Manor & Maker grift in a way that's not Patreon - I looked this morning and couldn't find a link to it - it's gone from both their Instagram page and their YouTube page. Also interesting......why is the link gone?

I found this but it's on their website.. not anywhere anyone would see it.. interesting. https://www.manorandmaker.com/membership
 
Well one thing is sure the precious princess will not be helping tonton and 2 tonnes move into their house. Not that she would have lifted a finger anyway but at the moment she won’t even pretend.
I sincerely hope there are repercussions for Fanny and all the other fuckers linked to her dishonesty but tbh Patreon for all their wordy promises really don’t give a tit as long as their cut keeps rolling in.
One can live in hope and if it is causing Fanny grief GOOD but I think she will sail through this like all the other car crashes in her life and carry on regardless.

I have one friend (?) who is like that too.
On and on she goes all about herself then she will ask about what am I doing this week - so I tell her - then she goes back to herself and at the end of that asks what I am doing this week!!
She does not listen and does not care ...... I just want to tell her to put the cheque in the mail as I am clearly her mental health psychologist and she calls every bloody week! :mad:

Hi, yes, there is! There's a weird error, which means I can't post tonight's video. I've contacted support and hopefully it will be resolved tomorrow 🫰

What was the “ weird” error Stephanie encountered when you find a post her patreon video? Love how she doesn’t state the error is that her page is under review and the Patreon trust and security team is reviewing her page. Always playing her smoke and mirrors defense.

Some people are energy vampires (whether from narcissism, anxiety, cluelessness, etc). They suck the life out of you during a phone call talking about themselves or complaining/ being negative nonstop, then when the call ends, they feel light as a feather and you feel as if you’ve been hit by a truck. If it is a persistent pattern and you cannot avoid them, you can try to set some boundaries to protect yoiur mental health, shorten the calls, etc. It can be difficult to do, especially with relatives, friends, etc. especially if you tend to be an empathic, kind person. Energy vampires suck rocks. They can be awful to deal with.

I too have had similar friends or relatives, who will call and spend hours talking about themselves, their problems, complaining, and just advancing a huge wall of negativity with their words or conversations, and then, 10 minutes before the call ends, they will ask briefly, so how are you doing, ignore what you said, and continue to complain.It is a frustrating situation.


When I see the number of my negative malignant narc mother show up on my phone, I can just feel a migraine begin. It is always a shitshow dealing with her in any forum. She is like a tsunami of negativity and dysfunction.

Just realised I'm only 60kms away from M&M. Probably away on honeymoon so not planning on popping by. Cycled Souillac to Sarlat and back yesterday. Lovely route along a disused railway route. Saddle sore by the end.

In Toulouse there were trees along our canal cycle route that had pale green dangling flower heads with the most intense scent. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the tree which is not here on the Dordogne. In this nut growing area I love the grid planting of the trees it draws the eye from every angle. The tree that I know more from this area and north is not yet flowering Silk Persian/pink mimosa. Not known in IRL.

My account has been suspended
  • Updated 3 years ago
Your campaign may be suspended if you fail to meet our community guidelines. While these are extreme cases, the Trust and Safety team will always reach out and work with you to make sure you have all the information necessary to have your campaign successfully unsuspended.

What can I do to have my campaign unsuspended:
If your campaign has been suspended, you will be alerted by a banner at the top of your page once you log in. From here, your first step is to make sure that you take the time to read our community guidelines. These guidelines are our one-stop for all things content and policy related. It’s here that you can learn about what content we allow (and don’t allow) creators to share and fund using Patreon.

The Trust and Safety team will always send you an email to discuss the next steps to reform your page. Make sure you check the inbox of the email address associated with your Patreon campaign. If you don’t check that email address frequently, please update it and reach out to us directly via [email protected].

While your campaign is under suspension, you retain the ability to manage your campaign, including create or delete posts, make changes to your benefits and message your patrons. This is so you are able to make the appropriate changes to bring your page back within our Community Guidelines.

In the interest of keeping Patreon a safe place for everyone, your campaign will remain under suspension while the Trust and Safety team works with you to bring your page back within guidelines in a timely manner. There is no defined deadline as we understand that this process might take some time. As long as we are communicating and know you are actively working on your page, we will happily keep working with you.

What happens to my pledges, my patrons and my funds?
As part of our strong commitment to fund the emerging creative class, we don’t delete any pledges. Your pledges will simply be paused for as long as it takes for you to work on your campaign. Additionally, you will not gain any new pledges while under suspension.

Please make sure you take the time to inform your Patrons about the state of your campaign. You can inform them directly on your Patreon campaign page via a new post, by direct message or through other channels where you communicate with your patrons (e.g. Discord).

The Trust and Safety team tries to provide timely access to creator payments, but you may on occasion experience delays in accessing your funds. We may also block or hold payments for violations of our policies or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information.

What happens if my campaign is under suspension during a payment cycle?
Our payment processing cycles happen at the beginning of each month and this is when we process pledges from patrons and send them to the creators. If your campaign is under suspension for a content violation during a payment cycle, your payments for the month will not be included for processing and will be lost. Your patrons will not be charged for their pledges during that cycle. Furthermore, payments lost while your campaign is under suspension will not be reprocessed after unsuspension. When payments are otherwise delayed or blocked we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about a payments block, please reach out to us.

Is there an appeal process?
If you believe that the Trust and Safety team made a mistake while reviewing your content, please respond back to the email which details the reasons behind their action and send us evidence supporting your claim.

So many questions? I wonder if Fanny will post this week’s patron video as today’s CD and add a comment to it about her suspended account? Will she ever mention her suspended account or just sweep it all under the rug? Did Fanny go south or stay in bed with her lawyer and accountant on speed dial? When will Mummy, Potty & Baghead appear for a council of war in the wine cellar?

I had some friends like that, had because well, I'm not good at being diplomate lol I tell it as it is. I have not heard from them after that. On the other hand, I do have friends that do value my frankness and honesty and when they want to have a real answer they will ask me. But I do not give advices or tell them what to do unless asked. As I do not think it is my place to do so. It's their lives and they live it the best way they know. I'm there if they need me which I think is the most important.
 
How could Brenda write such information about “Stephanie’s money” without it being cleared by Stephanie?

Hey Brenda
I was a patron for a short while. It was very clear to me what my money/contribution was going towards, as stated online and by Stephanie. bleeping renovations with a specific project list of priorities. Including €8000 for Pink Fortuny fabric and shutter dogs. And I was promised by Stephanie I was a member of association and would be shown accounts. She stated she used the Pethericks’ accountants for advice on establishing the foundation.
So I’m wondering (as I have in the past) what is your cut in this business? Did you replace Jump suit Jill or the widowed personal assistant who disappeared after the 100k subscriber party? Because Brenda once a tax trail is started it follows down every rabbit hole. You and every “contractor” from La La is at risk of an audit. Facebook also has rules against spreading and encouraging fraudulent schemes. What is your motivation to devote your time to supporting Stephanie’s lies and fraud? Lie down with dogs Brenda and you catch fleas - or a tax audit.
