Vonny Leclerc #3 Did ye aye?

[Ohnoshebettadont]

This is exactly it @Veronicaaa
It also upsets me that she takes the platform from the actual victim. From stalking to revenge porn to antisemitism, she has appropriated some of the worst things that happen to people and made money from it. That’s not fun.

It's also why comments like "kind of spoils your fun, doesn't it" are so ignorant. You think people are having *fun* here? Yeah there are jokey posts but they're to lighten what is often a very dark situation. It's really important for the people who she uses to prop up her facade, to have a space where they can talk about their experiences with her honestly - if anything was ever brought up to her on twitter, she'd block / patronise / insult, and manipulate everything so that she was always somehow the aggrieved party.

I wonder what her erstwhile Twitter and Instagram followers make of her disappearance from social media? Hopefully they Google her and find this site and the threads about her.

You can just search twitter for any of her names she's went by - barely anything since she vanished. Truly out of sight, out of mind on there. Pretty sad

 

[Clare Rayner]

Wonder how it went at the wedding ceremony, don't they have to use real names there (just as she had to on the GoFundMe thing she did for her mum)? Like, whoever married them going - do you, Siobhan Mitchell, take this man ... - only to then pronounce them Mr and Mrs Laing Leclerc. All the Laing family like

Looked up the marriage on Scotlands People - weirdly there are three entries with her many names

 

[waffle maker]

I am totally baffled by all the names. Could be a whole wiki. Makes it easy to avoid google detectives, huh.

That's so strange! The husband gets 3 brides for the price of of 1. Also, your battery percentage is giving me the fear

 

[BenignNarcissist]

Where does Easdon come from??

 

[Veronicaaa]

That's her mum's surname.

This also happened when my friend looked up her marriage on there - there was an entry with her mum’s maiden name and her husband’s mum’s maiden name too. No idea why as she just signed the register as normal but did provide those details when she registered the marriage prior to the wedding obvs.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Poor Vonny having to write all that out at the registratIon with just the one hand

 

[justhavingaswatch]

It must be driving her mad that she’s had to curtail her attention seeking behaviour on social media due to these threads. All the many lies she’s told coming home to roost.
I wonder if any of her new colleagues have discovered these threads yet?

I used to work in a wills dept in a bank and a married woman's maiden and married name(s) would be shown, probably something similar. So it'd be displayed as "Siobhan maiden name or husband #1 name or husband #2 name" on the front of will to take account of all the names they're been known by, if that makes sense.

If I remember correctly from Scots Law 1 hundreds of years ago at uni, Scots Law says that you can call yourself what you want as long as it's not for fraud. Your legal name remains the name by which your birth was registered unless changed through legal process. I went through all the palava of writing to all bodies to change my first name to the diminutive that I actually use.

A married name is just an alias. Hence women being named on legal documents as Jean Smith or Brown, and death notices often used to be headed by the married name but referring to the woman by her own name, eg Brown, Jean Smith, wife of John Brown. You'll see the separate surnames on tombstones too. The married name thing didn't become fashionable in Scotland until the 19th century and sadly some people seem to think that it's compulsory like the places (USA?) where you have to petition to get your own name back after divorce.

On topic, can you imagine Vonny's list of .... or .... or .... or.... ?!

I like the fact you had "death notice" and "beheaded' in the same sentence.

Just discovered this thread after searching for V as noticed she’d done her usual disappearing-after-being-called-out act. Became aware of her during her academic Vonny stage as I’m friends with one of the women targeted by the lecturer at Portsmouth. The women affected have nothing good to say about her. She used them for a story, to boost her own profile. They were encouraged to send their accounts to her over DM (a fair few were going through counselling at the time) and then never heard from her again, some didn’t even get a response. She collected traumatic stories, used it for a piece in the National which was nothing but a puff piece and then discarded them, causing huge distress. My friend despises her and hopes she never resurfaces.

I hope your friends are ok. I remember when this was her 'thing' on twitter. There was a lot of "time's up" and big talk heralding exposure of serial abusers in Academia, and not really a lot came from it. I think there was maybe an article in the national that vaguely alluded to something but nothing substantial? I don't even know if the guy in question faced any consequences as a result (I'd hope so, but I doubt it).

I'm maybe at odds with some people here- in all honesty I'd prefer that Vonny was just a totally harmless figure of fun, and that she didn't do any of the stuff like above, or the repeated cat breeding, or using her sister's mental health issues to slag her off or so on and so forth.

I wouldn't feel particularly guilty at having a giggle at her expense if the above was the case for a couple of reasons-
1) I'm not stalking, harassing, sending death threats, behaving in a malicious manner and nor would I ever plan to
2) I'm on a *gossip forum* which places all the discussion in a particular context- predominantly idle, unverified rumours and chatter. it would be a different story if I was to say, start a website www.vonnytruth.com for the explicit purpose of having a go at her and impact her livelihood.
3) Vonny has not been (to the best of my knowledge) diagnosed with mental health issues which would result in her peculiar behavior
4) Vonny is/was a public figure with public and notable social media following, which is naturally fodder for public discussion
5) the stories are just so wild and in contrast to the persona she projected that if this was some kind of multimedia art project/fiction/ARG/hoax I'd still get a kick out of it and ask for more.

does that make me a bad person? I don't know.

But anyway, it seems like Vonny isn't just posting about how she was "always into communist decoupage, and in fact has many stalinist jewlry boxes she made during her childhood so there" so the above is kinda moot.

 

[Eurgh]

Honestly I think if somebody has a verified Twitter or Instagram it’s fair game to comment on what they post. They have chosen it and want the clout that goes with being a ‘public figure’.

Tbh I would go for 5 - like it or not she is a genuine scottish cultural icon yes I KNOW the behaviours terrible but she is a symbol of the dire cultural predicament that scotland finds itself in currently. Any cursory glance at the bbcs the social page reveals thousands of lesser would be imitators.

No I'm not her Husband, but a very interesting accusation all the same!

Well this was the biggest pile of gash I've read today. So far. Always room to lower the bar I guess

 

[Hayanuma]

We've already got one 'Scottish cultural icon' who's also a complete psycho fantasist, we've got Janey Godley

ICON? a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

Yeah, nope.
