As a 15 yr old girl, I know plenty of people that fake having autism, ADHD, and other illnesses for attention, this is a whole Other level of attention seeking. Such a shame
@@averypensa8027 Same. The “Signs you have anxiety, ADD, etc.” videos makes me cringe. It’s always super random or normal things and then everyone in the comments self diagnosing.
I have severe anxiety and take medicine for it, and I literally would not wish it on anyone. But now it’s a trend to have these types of things :/
ADHD by itself is not an attention getter anyone who talks about how it's ruining their lives are lying!
It’s sad….I wouldn’t wish OCD on my worst enemy
@@averypensa8027I don’t need a diagnosis to know I have AD hey look at the butterfly
@@last-chance_ i literally never told anyone that i thought i had adhd until i was struggling so severely i was breaking. i am now fully medicated but the daily shit i used to go through was so hard
I can not believe that someone would fake having cancer. Just why
Another case of begging for attention, I guess.
@@Ryder-the-Creatorif she wanted attention she could have started an only fans. To fake an illness especially this illness is beyond evil.
Just a very basic instinct of being the poor little girl whos desperate for help, all these people do it for attention
@@0000zz2honest I never thought humans could sink so low. Boy was I wrong
2023, not surprised tbh.
As a Maddie we do NOT claim her, that’s a whole other level of social media insanity
Y'all aren't like a clan? 🤔
@@dchawk81😂
😂💯
LOL You are funny. I will try not to judge Maddies in the future.
Its true us maddies are a clan :)@dchawk81
I am myself a 14 year old boy but my generation disgusts me. I was myself pretending to have mental illnesses for attention (like my classmates and my friends). A couple months ago I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It then occured to me how offensive it is for people to pretend like they have ilnesses. It is not a joke. There are people who actually suffer from really bad diseases.
It speaks to your maturity that you reflected on it in that way. I've had to deal with mental illness and some physical conditions my whole life and it is frustrating to see people fake it. Mainly because people take me less seriously when I'm in need of actual help.
DB1 must be hard to deal with but I know some successful, happy, and wonderful people who have made the necessities of managing DB1 a part of their life but not let the disease control their lives. So I hope that you can find that balance as well.
@@CourtneyIsGoblinSame!😢 It's frustrating when people fake illnesses because it makes those of us who DO have chronic mental, cognitive & physical disabilities less and less heard the more people who fake a diagnosis....
It definitely takes BALLS to admit your wrong doing, especially in the eyes of the public on a MASSIVE platform such as TH-cam! Props to ya kiddo & I wish you a long, happy, healthy journey in life, especially with your newfound diagnosis.
The eyes tell all
I've had T1D all my goddamn life. Nobody gives a fuck about T1D. "Diabetes" is always taken to mean type 2, were assumed to have caused our disease, and the cost of existence with T1 is FUCKIN UNAFFORDABLE. I want to commit the forever sleep 24/7 and no amount of therapy has changed that. Yeah, this disease is wretched.
This is disgusting. My mom WAS one of those people who suffered quietly. She suffered both thyroid and breast cancer at the same time. Luckily, god bless, the doctors found it early and she took medications and surgeries to get rid of it. She became recently cancer free last December. And she was working and didn’t tell me until November. I’m glad I am fortunate to have her here. 🙏🏻🥰
Edit: May God Bless this whole comment section
I'm so glad you still have your mom! She sounds like a strong and caring woman, and I hope that she never has to deal with cancer again.
@@shea9435 Thank you so much! Bless your family too 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m so happy she is okay ❤ bless you both
May God bless you both.
I'm thankful your mom still around lost my mother to blood cancer 3 years ago
She obviously Identifies as a cancer patient.
💀
Hahaha brilliant
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA BUSTED!! 🤯😹
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe she can actually learn about cancer treatment next.😪
As a 14 year old female, this makes me sick. Knowing that there are people in this world like this. Especially after losing my cousin to a brain cancer. What happened to my generation and world.
It is not just your generation dear this has been going on for centuries. Sadly she will have children, I hope they watch her for Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
dont put your age on the internet sis pleaseeeee
Just want to second that you shouldn’t say your age. There’s so many terrible people in the world. Stay safe
To all the cancer survivors, and to those who lost the war, I am so sorry. I have your backs and I support you all!
As a cancer survivor, this makes me so mad.... and yes, you are correct. It takes way more than just a blood test to get diagnosed. This is demeaning to those with cancer and their caregivers. I'm glad she got arrested.
My mother passed away from colon cancer and I almost did as well. This makes me so angry!!!!!!!!!!! I hope she rots in hell.
I’m a fellow survivor and this girl is infuriating. The way she casually mentions still having her hair and that people don’t see her as being sick because she looks fine thanks to makeup is sickening. Does she really think that makeup would conceal cancer treatment side effects? Plus, the side effects aren’t just appearance related. Chemo brain is a real thing, especially in my case because I had brain cancer.
@@KDiamond666 Sorry to hear about your mom. Thankful that you are here to share in the outrage of this girl. Hope you’re enjoying your new lease on life. I’m saying this as a fellow cancer survivor.
My little brother had cancer too but he was very young when the doctors' found it. I know that the treatment is painful to get rid of but I can't imagine how much it hurt him
@@penguinZ85 Ty so much and trust me I enjoy everyday with my little one 🥰 I’m glad you are here as well. Please take good care ❤️🫶🏽
As someone that was actually diagnosed with breast cancer at 26, lost all my hair, and had to loose a breast while also finishing the semester with a 3.9, this is beyond infuriating
Same. I was diagnosed at 28, just as I was getting ready to start nursing school, at the beginning of COVID.
Double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and nursing school during the “pandemic”. That’s was fun lol
lol are you sure you had cancer 😂😂😂😂 jkjkjk
Yall went beast mode and I'm so proud of you.
Now THAT is real girl power.
My dad died from cancer, people who are willing to fake this are mentally ill in the most significant ways.
I am a cancer survivor I had lymphoblastic leukaemia for 4 years and this is horrible , this is a whole new level or disgust and shame . How does people like this exist? I’m also glad she got arrested
i hade brain tumor
I made it through 10:22 until I couldn't take any more. I am a 3x different cancer survivor and still struggling with complications from the last one. Cancer is not a joke and it makes me cry that someone would do such a thing. Simply shows the lack of morals in today's world
I hope you're fine. I don't know what else to say but I hope you'll get better
God bless you and I hope you recover.
After losing a loved one from pancreatic cancer, this is disgraceful
It's utterly disgusting. I too have lost close family and friends to cancer. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you! Same to you
I have lost family from pancreatic cancer too. My niece had leukemia but thanks to Children's hospital she kicked cancer's ass! This woman is absurd.
Sorry for your loss.
@ILLeyaDonyenik I lost my dad to metastatic melanoma in 2012. My nephew just lost his 4 yr old son to an at/rt brain tumor only 3.5 weeks after diagnosis, so devastating. Both my mom's siblings died from lung cancer before they were 60 yrs old. I've lost so many friends to various cancers, including pancreatic and bile duct cancers. It's such a terrible disease and it's disgusting that anyone would claim to have it when they don't. She'll be very sorry if she ever has cancer and no one believes her. I'm just young to assume that at only 19 yrs old she hasn't lost anyone really close to her to this relentless monster of a disease and doesn't realize how terrible it actually is. Definitely not excusing her behavior, just trying to think of an explanation.
@@ILLeyaDonyenik and I'm very sorry for your loss and VERY happy for your niece!!
As someone who actually survived breast cancer & watched my mom die from lung cancer, this is a slap in the face to those that really did fight & die from it. Also, as someone who is struggling & about to lose everything & become homeless, I would never turn to SM & beg for help
Thank you for beating it
I pray your situation will turn around for you in Jesus name. Keep holding on🙏🏻
alot of people dont have any dignity or moral compass, anyway sucks to hear that... my dad beat cancer not long ago, i hope you get back up on your feet
It’s disgusting.... also I dislike the word “fight” in this context.... it suggests in a weird way that there’s something you can do about it.... like you can lose if you don’t fight hard enough?
@@auriga2461 I understand it’s insensitive but it is how cancer develops, your immune system fights the cancer cells and if it can’t then cancer develops.
As someone who has lost two people to cancer, this is sick. I hate when people fake illness for money, for clout, for attention, for anything. It is so serious and effects so many peoples lives. It is not something to throw around casually for some money. I cannot believe anyone would even think of doing anthing this mentally deranged and scam and take advantage of so many generous people.
As the mother of a child who actually had stage 4 lymphoma..this is absolutely sick. I didnt start a gofundme or any of that. Barely told anyone because we didnt want pity. Only money we accepted was $1200 from a lovely couple who worked at his school and held a yearly fundraiser for anyone in need. Spent it on a ps4 for him to play during chemo and a few things to get the house ready for him to come home. People are so gross.
How is your child doing nowadays?
@@MadameRose-lw9go he is doing great. Thank you for asking! He goes for his yearly scan next month but so far they have all come back clean. Praise God.
I’m fighting cancer right now. This is so disgusting to know people could do this.
im right there with ya stay strong .
You are so strong! I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
God bless and heal you ❤ 🙏, stay strong Soldier, You are a true warrior and respected.
Stay strong you got this! 💪 ❤
Wish you the best ❤❤
The sad part is that if she ever does actually get diagnosed with cancer, no one will support her out of fear of being scammed again. Another case of the “Girl who cried Wolf”
Exactly! Karma just might grant her wish since she wanna be sick so badly! Smh
Funny story, I heard the story about the boy who cried wolf, I understood the meaning wrong. I thought the moral of the story was to come running every time someone cries wolf if they're important to you. Why? Well just imagine a kindergarten boy saying "the boy who cried wolf can't learn anything because he's dead, but the boy's family probably regrets not coming when he called and they probably were sad because the boy was dead."
The boy who cry Wolf!!! I bet if everyone read it as a child and took from it the morals of the story. Don't keep lying about the wolf or Cancer in this case, or when the wolf does come. No one will believe you, period.
She doesn't deserve help at this point. She has waived her right to any further compassion.. she better hope she stays healthy cause nobody will help her sorry ass after this 😑
I hope she does and it's not treatable. There's few people out there that are lower than scum like her.
My older sister died of lymphoma cancer at 15. She underwent 10 months of treatment which we were able to cover with the help of donations from a charity that her best friend created for her. Even though it wasn't able to stop the cancer, those kind people gave her a small chance of survival and meant everything for my family. It's been 9 years and I still feel so grateful to those people. My mother taught me to always give to people if you have the means to and I live by this.
It's absolutely disgusting that people like this exist and take advantage of the kindness of others. How many people will now be discouraged from donating to charities because of stories like these?
As a daughter whose mother is going through the same cancer, she won't make it, but I'm proud of her daily. She's genuinely fighting and isn't giving up. I can't believe this girl would lie about this kind of thing, I have seen this firsthand, and I am still seeing this first hand. My mom's been lucky that she's been able to keep her hair. She's wonderful.
As someone who had cancer and kicked its ass, this person just infuriates me! How someone can be so oblivious to what it is actually like to go through cancer just blows my mind. I'm sure her parents are proud of her
I also had cancer, twice, and it cost me my thyroid and my voice. Luckily I had insurance that paid my hospital bills but so many people who I met didn't. People like her are disgusting. All the people I met could have benefited from the charity she lied to get. She should have to pay it all back at high interest rates and be mandated to care for actual cancer patients, with supervision.
My dad had cancer too. Cost him two thirds of his esophagus and a third of his stomach. I know how you feel. Additionally, since we're a Christian family, it also infuriates me that she would dare invoke God's name in prayer to continue getting people to feed into her scam.
I had cancer and I made a separate comment as well if your able to find it but I’m so proud of you for staying strong at heart and that I agree with you this person just disgusted me so deeply
So happy you beat it! I pray in Jesus name it will never come back. 🙏🏻
Lost my mom in 2009 to cancer. The last couple months I witnessed things I wish I could forget but will haunt me forever. I'm so happy to hear that you and the others here were able to beat it ! It tears families apart and causes irreparable emotional damage to many. I wish you a life of good health and happiness. Stay strong 💪
Imagine how all the people who donated to her feel. 💀
Hopefully they'll start using that head of theirs 🧠 instead of the head down stairs 😅
They're not watching enough Jimmy Darts to distinguish who to donate their money to. :)
@@wily.h4947but the downstairs head is to powerful to ignore...
Imagine how real cancer patients feels.
@@24framedavinci39 probably either dead or more worried about surviving cancer than some random woman pretending to have cancer
I lost a good friend to cancer last year . It was a few days until his 12th birthday. He had it for three years and was the bravest,strongest, and most cheerful person I knew. Watching people pretend about having illnesses that are fatal is horrible.
He had cancer at 12 years old or do you mean it was his 12th year after being diagnosed?
as someone who’s mother passed away from stage 4 pancreatic cancer and fought so hard for 6 months just to live, this is such a horrible thing to mimic. she truly doenst understand the toll that this aggressive cancer takes on someone and their loved ones. absolutely shameful
If I donated I would be pissed. I remember seeing that video about the girl exposing her. Many people have had cancer in my mom's side and seeing someone faking is offensive to real people dealing with cancer.
offensive, insulting behavior lacking any empathy or compassion
And it will prevent real cancer patients from getting donations cause people will be sceptical if it's real... and she picked pancreatic cancer which hardly anyone survives...
I think they're refunding the money? Or working on it. It was in one of the new articles I seem to remember.
@@christalf8610 oh ok thanks for the info
Honestly if she didn’t push it so far, and stopped around 10,000, then deleted her Tik tok and gofund me/disappeared off the internet, she would’ve gotten away with it. But she kept pushing it for more and more money and exposing herself, lol
I have Stage 4 Colon Cancer. And it's VERY insulting how this little kid is lying about how she has nausea and pain. If she really knew how that was, she wouldn't be talking like that about it!
hope you can recover🙏
So sorry to hear that you have this horrible cancer, it's so hard seeing stories like that, especially when your struggle is real, my Mum has only just found out last week that she has pancreatic cancer, stage 4 two, has only 3 months apparently, she's hopeful that she'll see her next birthday, but trouble is, it was in January. Just got to help her through it I guess. But take care and I hope you don't suffer too much even though I know that's a big ask, sending you a big hug ❤
Wishing you the best!
Best wishes for a thorough recovery ❤️
I’m praying for you
Thank you for talking about this. My dad passed away in only a matter of 6 weeks after being diagnosed from this awful disease. Pancreatic cancer is so fast and painful it’s typical diagnosed too late. I miss him more than anything. 😔
This infuriates me so damn much. Back in 2015 when I was first diagnosed with having T3 Esophageal cancer.
I was already in hospital after vomiting blood which lead me requiring 4 blood transfusions and I had a camera (Endoscopy) down my oesophagus and that’s how my cancer was found. I was already an inpatient thankfully and I seen my oncologist the very next day.
As a result of all of my chemoradiation (this is a combination of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy but both given at the same time).
I needed surgical intervention which is the the main thing that saved my life. I also lost my cheeks as at one point it kept spreading but in the end, thankfully due to all of the amazing work by my oncologist and his team in the end the main thing I lost were all of my teeth and some removal of my gums were necessary.
So it truly sickens me and infuriates me when someone plays such a card that affects MILLIONS of people in every single country on the planet.
It is an illness that does not discriminate. It doesn’t care if your black or white, fat or thin, tall or short, working or not working, old or young….
To have someone so callously playing on peoples emotions…. You’ll notice not all but I’d say more do this than not (from my own experiences)… you’ll find that most of us, wether we get told it’s stage 1, 2, 3 or 4 we take it in, we digest it in a way that only we can and then you get scared…
Let me clarify this please… I’m referring to myself and at least over 100 people to my knowledge…
So did I, did we get scared? Yes your damn right we did. Ironically though, not one of us was actually scared about the diagnosis not 1. However, every single one of us were scared to death or telling loved ones and families. We were scared they’d ask something that they didn’t want to hear. We were (all 100+ of people I’ve asked) were all petrified again, not because we had cancer, but instead scared at the thought that people would look at us differently. Treat us differently.
So for this individual (I don’t want to say lady or female as I don’t want to get sued if it turns out to be a man or she claims to be a man), to behave in this manner… regardless of the money she stole, they should just make it absolutely illegal to lie about such things.
I became incredibly good friends with people that I met through my time having treatment and sadly I lost 17 people, that I would describe as “good friends” from who I met at treatment.
So to know that 17 of my friends died, (ignoring the fact that I met them during treatment and regardless how long I’d known them) people like this individual are for me, absolute scum of the earth.
Nothing I can say, that will define the actual amount of hatred I have for people like this.
There’s certain things that just shouldn’t be done.
Finally: For me, I put this “Cancer Valor” in the same category as people lying about stolen valour.
Ok admittedly, we do not die for our country but I’m telling you this, we sure have to be just as bloody brave as those fighting for our countries.
Apologies for the long message. To those who read it, thank you. To those that didn’t, you have a great day all the same.
Lastly, for those who are curious… I’ve been in remission now for for over 1 year.
Take care of yourselves and try remember… no matter how hard yesterday was, no matter how difficult it’s been to just make it through today…. Just try and remember one thing…. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Nothing had happened yet. Thus giving you the chance to create your own path, your own history and please above all else please remember… if you have no family that you’re able to contact just like myself, there is ALWAYS someone you can speak too online somewhere.
No matter what happens before tomorrow, please remember… 2 things…
1) there is always someone to talk too & your life does matter.
2) if you have a prostate you’re a male regardless what your left ear tells your right ear and nothing in between.
Stay safe and look after yourselves.
This angers me! My aunt died from pancreatic cancer back in 2012. It was watching her almost for 3 years fight for her life and lose. The last six months were the worst. This is disrespectful to everyone that actually have cancer, and to those who have passed away from cancer. I’m glad that karma caught up to her and she’s paying for it.
I want to know if anybody was calling bullshit in her comments 🤔
My mom died from Pancreatic Cancer in 2018. 26 months.
@MaHaw I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure this video disgusts you. Hugs.
It’s just disgusting how people could pretend to have something so serious. My grandma died this year after 6 months of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I am also so grateful that, as you said, karma came for her.
As a caregiver to my mom who has beat cancer THREE TIMES, this makes my blood boil.
She sounds like an incredibly tough woman.. so sorry you guys battle with cancer ❤ I say you guys because I know it’s got to be hard on you aswell.. wishing you both all the best
I lost my younger brother to cancer in January and This absolutely infuriates me so much! Watching this reminds me of how much he suffered and for her to do this really PMO.
As someone who has family that had cancer and survived it this makes me sick. I was so scared I was going to lose them but I did and seeing someone fake it for money is sickening
As someone who lost their mom to pancreatic cancer.. I’m at a loss for words
I’m so sorry for your loss. My friend lost her mother to the same and it was horrible. 😔
I lost my nana to pancreatic cancer. I can’t believe anyone would do this!
as someone who has a feeding tube, i’m baffled that she didn’t even TRY to make it look real
As someone who used to have a feeding tube, you make a great point.
I have a feeding tube due to gastroperisis this is so awful. She just bought a feed bag and stuck the end up her noise WTF. It takes two seconds to look up that there is the tube and then the feed bag. Her bag has no formula ether and if a person has a clear tube (pretty rare as far as I know) you see the feed in it. This is ridiculous and insulting to all tubes out there. I realized too that there is no pump. I have gotten that bag before and you need an Infinity pump to use the bag because it does no move any feed without the pump.
I also have gastroparesis and a catheter. I looove how fake that looks as well on her 😂
@@JackieOwl94 she's to dumb to really think that far and go into that much work it would cost her the hair and looks that she cares so much about it's sad that there are people out there like this
I had a sister who was diagnosed with cancer at 2 years old, it was very tough thinking she could die within seconds. Seeing as this 19 year old “had” cancer is such a shame and very disgusting. It’s terrible how our society is today and it’s just gross to think there is more stuff worse than this.
I lost my aunt to cancer in 2019…the fact that she can so easily take advantage of people by faking such a dreadful and fatal disease is not only disturbing, but pathetic.
My mom had radiation treatment for brain cancer. It didn't give her a tan, it literally blistered her skin. It was horrific. Rest in peace momma.
Oh I’m so sorry that happened to you, may your mother rest in peace with Jesus 🕊️
oh God 😭💔 I cannot imagine that level of pain... I am so so sorry may her soul rest in peace ❤️🩹
Rip 🙏 stay strong 💪
As a mother who lost her child to cancer, I want to give her the tongue lashing that she didn't get from her parents. I KNOW the months that it took to find her a doctor, and even more months to see the doctor, and then I watch my daughter slowly die. You do NOT have cancer.
I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure your daughter was a sweet person.
May she rest in peace.
This is just sad that people are doing this. Society has reached a new low.
Mama hope you are well and may your daughter rest is peace. I’m a father, and could not imagine the pain of slowly watching my daughter die and can’t do anything about it.. my heart goes out to you
This is disgusting. I had to watch my father in law suffer and ultimately lose the battle against pancreatic cancer. There are rarely any survivors of pancreatic cancer. My uncle also just died a week ago to cancer that he only found out about 2 weeks prior and had progressed to 4 different places in his body. She deserves what she gets and worse.
In January, 3 weeks after his 17th birthday, we lost my nephew to cancer. He fought valiantly for almost 3 years. Watching this made me so angry I think I stopped breathing for a few minutes. Cancer is the most horrible thing that can happen to a person and their family. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I wouldn’t even wish it on this girl. I hope she suffers for her crimes and comes out the other side a less horrible person.
My dad unfortunately lost his battle to cancer in 2016... his fight took everything out of him. its definitely heartbreaking to see people lie about it and pretending to go through the struggles that people with actual cancer have to go through.
I'm sorry for your loss 🕊️
Sorry for your loss. I'm going through something very similar right now and can't imagine how hard that was at that age. 😔
I am a cancer survivor - I had six weeks of radiation after a radical hysterectomy - this makes me so mad. I had a radiation burn from it around my mid-section and it was so hard to sit down comfortably. Luckily, my cancer was only stage 1 and surgery and radiation for treatment. I am 7.5 years cancer-free and so thankful for my oncologist, radiologist and everyone else involved with my treatment and follow-up appointments. My heart goes out to everyone who has been diagnosed with any form of cancer.
Cheers to overcoming. My paternal grandmother passed away from cancer before I was born, and losing her is a wound my dad never really recovered from. Your family is fortunate to still have you around. I hope you're blessed with more years of health and wellness 🙏🏾💯
@@austinjrb thank you. I lost my paternal grandmother to cancer as well before I was born. I am named after her and my maternal grandmother and both great-grandmother’s. We recently found out she died of ovarian cancer and I had cervical cancer. I feel very lucky that it was caught early and I was able to receive surgery and treatment. It infuriates me when someone pretends to have cancer - too many people have lost loved ones to it and it isn’t something that it easy to deal with. My dad does talk about his mom more now than when I was younger.
This makes my blood boil because I have known multiple people with cancer including my dad currently and that is absolutely awful. She tricked people into giving her money that she didn't need while they could have given it to people with cancer who actually needed it. She needs some serious mental help.
As a cancer survivor this is disgusting 😡 cancer is absolutely NOT something to joke about and it impacts peoples lives including mine dramatically.
My little sister was diagnosed with cancer a while ago, and by watching her go through it I had learned a lot of stuff. This girl is insane for thinking its okay to fake cancer just for 💩 and giggles.
As someone that actually was diagnosed with cancer at 23 on my mother's birthday this really really makes me so angry that someone can fake having cancer!!! I am now 4 years cancer free and still can't talk that calmly about my experience! It is literally the most traumatic part of my life! I cry at least once a week because of it!
I hope you’re doing well aside from this. ❤
@@BenthewildchildE750 I am thank you! Some days are still hard but I try to look at the positive in my life.
As someone who literally buried a family member yesterday over cancer. I gave her her first foot massage on her death bed.
( I’m an LMT)
I could literally feel in her feet how sick she was. And knew that would be the last I’d see or hold her alive.
This, makes my blood boil
My grandmother passed away because of pancreatic cancer and hearing that someone faked having that cancer is terrible. Just hearing this girl fake this hurt so much. She never will realize what’s it’s like to have cancer or probably see one of their family members die from a cancer.
That’s wild the fact people are so desperate for attention they fake anything. Imagine being SO desperate for a bit of online attention you fake a a deadly disease. This is so horrible.
She's not the first. Belle Gibson was a good example of wild lying and trying to hit all of the sympathy buttons. And then you get to the hate crime hoaxes. You always wonder if these people are sociopaths or just responding to incentives.
@@victorcates9330wait what's a race hoax?
@@Stitcheroo2 I think that was an editing error. I meant to refer to fake hate crimes specifically on racial grounds. I don't know what precise wording I managed to botch (doh).
@@victorcates9330you didn't botch anything.
Another sad thing is that people will just throw money at anyone with a made up sob story. Please people, don't be naive.
I am proud of everyone involved in her arrest.
Her lying about having cancer and about needing to freeze her eggs honestly makes me so mad. I was diagnosed with ALL (the blood cancer she said she had) and when I was 2 and I’ve undergone numerous doses of chemo and radiation that have pretty well screwed up my chances of having kids. I’m only 20 and already a bunch of my friends have kids and its terrifying knowing you have a ticking clock on whether or not you’ll have 1 let alone two kids.
I've had multiple family members that have had cancer and i know they would be extremely upset if they saw this woman. I myself am also extremely upset at this woman. Faking an illness people have DIED from, unbelievable.
As someone who's parent died from an aggressive cancer, we lost our home because we wouldn't pay for the treatments and the mortgage and no "cancer society" would help.... I believe she deserves everything that's coming her way. If one of those things ends up being her face accidentally falling into someone's closed fist, I'm not gonna complain.
I'm so sorry for your loss
First of all, I am so very sorry for your loss. It must be triggering to see a POS use genuine pain and suffering for personal financial gain. However, something else about your comment strikes me, and this is where I am going to part ways with many American conservatives. Nobody should face losing their home because they cannot pay for life-saving medical treatment. The American healthcare "system" desperately needs reform. I don't understand the ideological zealotry attached to the most bureaucratic, inefficient, and exorbitant system in the Western world. I live in Britain, where we have single-payer healthcare. It has its problems, for sure. But at least nobody has to face losing their home because they cannot afford cancer treatment. Sorry for the rant, but this is horrific. The stress caused by paying for medication would be enough to ruin anyone's health, not to mention the obvious financial damage.
Oh no, how awful what you and your family had to go through and are dealing with. My deepest sympathies for your loss. My mother in law passed away in January 2022 due to stage 4 stomach cancer. She started feeling bad at the end of November. Was sick all of December. At first we were told she had tyfus..but she was getting worst and her eyes started to turn yellow. Then in January she tested positive for covid along with her daughters. Well, on Friday they and we were all told she had an aggressive form of stomach cancer. We were all in shock. We went to get a second opinion but because, she was positive for covid, couldn't be in that hospital. Which made no sense. Well the Dr. said he would make a house call due to the gravity and case and talk about treatments etc. She passed away the next morning on Tuesday. It was so fast.
This person should be imprisoned for a long time. As someone who has family members with cancer, it’s horrible and no one should ever have to go through it. Shame on her
Someone I knew well did the same thing and all she got was a year of probation and a $9,901 fee. Disgusting.
@@michellelrobison That’s disgusting. It tells us, that our legal system and judiciary are corrupt, and needs to be worked on.
as a person whose friend died of cancer recently at a young age. this is infuriating seeing people fake this awful terminal - illness for clout or attention or money or anything else. and then they don’t even feel bad enough to stop doing this and making a mockery of people with cancer or other illnesses or family and friends who have suffered and are suffering losses of loved ones. ❤
As someone who lost my only sibling and watched her go through HELL for 13 years from cancer, I am livid right now. This person took away 37,000$ from people with cancer who really need it. Someone could have used that money for treatment. People with cancer are exploited enough already. I’m so disgusted by this. She has no idea how truly awful her actions are. I hope that her judge puts her ass in her place.
As someone who lost her mother to cancer two years ago (she was 54, I was 22 years old) I can only say, that people who lie about illnesses like this deserve to be punished. It's hurtful, disrespectful and just a punch in the face for everyone who had to fight cancer or witnessed a loved fighting it.
So sorry for your loss
Join me in the Lonely Daughters Club. I also lost my mom, to ovarian cancer. Most traumatic experience of my life. I was so close to my mom, as I'm guessing you were too. I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@angg645 Thank you
@@ksquallfangirl Thank you, I'm sorry for your loss as well. That's a club no one wants to join and yes it was fairly traumatic
I lost my biological mother to terminal Cancer years ago, met her in West Palm Beach, met my Step-Siblings, 2 days later when I left to head back home to SWFL, i got a call saying she passed. This makes me mad to the Nth degree.
I bet she felt EXACTLY how I did when I was told "You have Cancer". I wonder if she sat in her vehicle and cried after being told "You've got a long road ahead of you, but we're here to help get you through it". Could she remember the drive home from the Doctors Office even though it was only a 15 minute drive because she was so stunned, I can't. By the looks of it, she didn't make a hair appointment to get her long hair cut off because she was told she would need chemo and radiation and chances were she was going to lose it all, yeah I did that to. I bet she had a great time having weekly blood work and biopsies on a weekly basis. I wonder how many Doctors appointments she had in one week every week for the next 4 months before she could have any sort of treatment done. 8 years after the fact, I see she is wearing normal clothes....something else I still can't do some days. The bad days, I have to stay in my pajama's because I can't stand anything tight fitting against my skin......bless her pathetic cold little heart. I got through it all, but my dad was given 9 weeks to live when they found his Cancer, he lived 8.5 weeks.....Golly, she's lucky!🙄
I'm so sorry :c I don't understand how can she be so ville :((
I have a father who has beat skin cancer; a mother who is currently undergoing tests; and, multiple friends and extended family members who have died from various forms of cancer.
This is sickening.
As someone who actually lost a loved one to cancer, this makes my blood boil
My mother had pancreatic cancer, it is one of the most difficult cancer to diagnose because of the location of the organ. Doctors won’t check that area unless you’re specifically ask for it during a check up. And it won’t show anything unless you did a MRI. The fact that she just said she “happened to find out” is full of shut. Usually people don’t even find the tumor until it’s way too late. Also if she was so fortunate enough to diagnose it at stage 2 (my mother did, she found it at the end of stage 1, close to 2). She would have been in great pain constantly and severe migraine/headaches. She wouldn’t be able to film.
Edit: also I noticed her treatment plan. No, you don’t start chemo at stage 2 or below. Cause the tumor is still relatively small at that stage, you remove it first then start chemo. This brain-dead girl.
Second edit: yes my mother is fine, thanks for everyone’s wishes! She was fortunate enough to spot it early and had it completely removed. Doctors checked around the area and found no signs of spread and said even the lymph nodes were squeaky clean. Now she just needs to maintain a healthy diet and avoid certain food then she should be fine.
3rd edit:
Since this comment is getting some attentions, I’d like to bring some attentions to the symptoms that my mother had and share them on here, so if anyone or their family are experiencing the same things, they could discover as early as possible.
The first noticeable sign would be abnormal pain around or in your stomach. If after taken medication the pain still hasn’t subsided. It is possible that your pancreas is inflaming. Probably due to something you ate. Then if after seeming doctors still didn’t help, and you start to feel back pain, at the same time feeling a sharp pain in your head or migraine. Call your doctor immediately and ask for an authorization to do a MRI scan. CT scan and x-rays don’t see Pancreas clearly and don’t show tumors that hidden.
Best case scenario you have inflammation and have to wait it out because no medication work on pancreas, worst case? Well, cancer. Then you gonna have to have the whole or part of the organ remove cleanly asap.
You are 100% correct on how difficult it is to spot. By the time we found the cancer it was too late for my dad. He passed 2 months after the diagnosis.
Pancreatic cancer is so awful, best wishes to you and your mom ❤
I work with a gastrointestinal oncologist, and I thought the exact same thing!! She's full of shit and it's obvious.
I hope your mother was one of the lucky few who caught it early and survived ❤
You make good points but I do know someone with stage 2 cancer who had chemo before surgery
Hers had spread to a lymph node so they wanted to stop the spread before operating.
Yes, to all the points you made!!! You are lucky! We didn't find my mom's pancreatic cancer until too late. She was diagnosed Jan 2016 and passed in April 2016. Pancreatic cancer is the worst, and this girl is sick.
I watched a relative pass away from cancer. This is disgusting. I hope this girl gets what she deserves.
it’s people like her that makes dealing with cancer seem like a breeze. my whole family has dealt with cancer, including my mom (even though it wasn’t while i was alive) and the fact that she can just lie about the fact that she had “cancer” is horrendous. makes me sick.
As someone who has had a really close family member die from cancer this makes me sick to my stomach.
Also reminds me when I was at college a girl faked having cancer. She took it so far she shaved her head and all of her rooomates shaved their head to support her.
Absolutely disgusting and horrific to fake such a terrible disease.
My best friend’s sister was diagnosed with Stage 2 or 3 breast cancer about a year ago. Since then, on top of receiving chemo, she had a near death experience where she became septic. The hospital delayed emergency treatment due to COVID policies (smh 🙄) and she was in the hospital for 6 weeks. When she was discharged, she sat on a bench outside the hospital and cried as she didn’t think she would ever see her husband or sons, let alone walk outside, again. And she’s STILL not done with her treatment.
This girl is pure trash.
Prayers for your friends Sister 🙏🏽
My father lost his battle with liver cancer 28 years ago. I watched the strongest man I've ever known become a hollow shadow of his former self. Human garbage such as this one enrages me.
I'm so sorry for you. I lost my sister to liver cancer. She withered away. Shrinking every day. Weaker every day. Until she was an empty shell. All I hope is that she has found peace.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😓❤️
My mother went the same way. I take some comfort knowing she didn't have to live in what this world has become. I hate myself for saying that, and hate them for making me feel it.
Not a human
@@m.g.3679 I hope that by that comment you meant a person robbed of their humanity by a cruel and insidious disease. Please clarify, and if you meant anything else, prepare to fight me for disrespecting my sister.
My dad is a cancer survivor, my grandma, cousin, and aunt all lost their battles to cancer it’s horrible and heart breaking, seeing the person you love slowly die while still holding on to hope they will win the fight and also feeling guilty for focusing on your feelings while the person to care about is fighting this horrible sickness. This girl needs a slap across the face and needs to be sent to jail.
My best friend has leukemia in remission, and lost his mom at 16 to breast cancer that spread to the brain. So this is very upsetting to me someone would claim to have this life changing disease. There are no words to express my anger.
I had a brain tumor that was cancerous. The thought that someone would lie about having such a thing as cancer is just vile
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if people faked history-
Oh wait.
💀

Rivisionist history is a plague.

Yes, as a cancer survivor, when going through treatments, my first priorities was making sure I looked my absolute best at all times, posting constantly on social media, and keeping my tan. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I am 15 years old, and I am proud to say I am a survivor of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia which i was diagnosed with at two years old. This girl infuriates me with all the misinformation she spreads and fake diagnosis'. It takes away from the true people who deserve support and recognition for how hard they fought after their real, and life changing diagnosis'.
As someone living with a chronic illness and that’s in and out of the hospital, it’s baffling to me that someone would lie about having a disease and/or disability for money. It’s sickening.
It’s god awful that some people would go to such extreme measures for attention. Especially when they “bragg” about having some sort of medical issue just for some sort of gain; whether tangible or not-it’s inhumane.
My heart goes out to you. I know words may not seem to be much without action (such as some people abusing other’s kindness) but I pray for everyone on this earth to have a chance to truly appreciate life. One day you’ll be out of that hospital, and your mind will be at peace. I want you and others to get the chance to experience life at its core without having all of these issues and stressors that are out of your/our control. I pray that you get better. Everyone deserves peace of mind💙 Please take care!
@@razz_tazz thank you, I hope others aspire to be a fraction as kind and compassionate as you; I think the world would be a little bit better if that was the case. Have a good day/night. This comment made me happy today, thanks.
@@somemydayy You’re very welcome! :)
I knew this guy in college who told a couple girls he had cancer to get laid. In fairness, it worked very well
@@razz_tazzit was probably more about the money than the attention.
I rarely ever comment on TH-cam videos but this really pissed me off! As someone who lost his wife to renal cancer and am myself a 3 time cancer survivor (adenocarcinoma), people who do this deserve not to just be put in prison, but buried under it.
Shoved into earths core for a painful death
I wish you well ❤❤❤
As someone who's family members has suffered through cancer, my grandfather took his life due to the pain and my aunt finally his remission after 9 years of battle, this is infuriating that people in my generation think it's okay to make a mockery of people who suffer. My aunt had to loose her hair recently after more chemo and it's just like AHHHHHH WHYYY
My mom is both a hospice RN and has personally fought cancer in her own body throughout most of my life. I grew up helping her with her treatments and equipment, including things such as ports and feeding tubes. I'm not in the medical field myself, but I know what the real deal is when it comes to these kind of treatments... The point is that I remember seeing the original TikTok videos of this girl. My friends who showed me (and unfortunately donated) didn't believe me when I called bullshit. I think I'll give them a call today... 🤣
You can’t save people from themselves.
My dad currently has 4th stage pancreatic cancer that is spreading. It is disgusting. You don't feel pancreatic cancer until it starts killing you. My dad didn't know or didn't feel anything until he had a stroke. Our society keeps hitting more lows.....
True. I didn't feel my breast cancer until it ate my left hip and pelvis. Seriously, I went to a clinic thinking I had a muscle issue or something, and that side was basically gone.
@@amandastjohn4735 I hope ur feeling better now. I really don't understand how ppl are this low.
I have many loved ones who have suffered from cancer and unfortunately passed including my grandpa who was more recent. This is disgusting and im grateful to hear you advocating the falsehood of her "symptoms" and her giving people the idea that its not that bad. My grandfather looked absolutely horrible right before he died and she sits here being all guys just take a pill and you look great. Smh
As a 7 year cancer survivor with cancer and going through radiation treatment and chemo, the doctors had to almost kill me to kill my cancer. And not knowing if you're going to live through the treatment this is so sad!!!
Having watched women in the chemo chair fighting to keep their hair using the frozen caps her saying just taking a pill kept her hair is disgusting. Having lost all 3 of my siblings to cancer I usually don't follow cancer cases, just can't
I’m sorry for your loss..
My Mom died 4 years ago from Pancreatic Cancer, so for this girl to fake having Pancreatic Cancer is a huge slap to the face of the people who actually had/ has cancer and their families. Lock her up!
as a cancer patient it's so obvious that she's faking it and it makes me sick knowing that people like this exist
As someone who just lost her dad to cancer, and was there during his process of radiation and chemo, this is extremely infuriating. I think her sentence should be to work in a cancer center and see what these people go through, their battle and that of their love ones. People like her make it really hard to be a Christian.
This is just sick. I work at the hospital seeing many patients suffer from cancer. I'll never forget crying seeing a father begged for his cancer to be cured with tears in his eyes while his 2 little kids were also crying...I snuck somewhere to just cry myself 😢
As a doc myself, one of the most challenging parts of my job was breaking this bad news and explaining to people their prognosis,(despite the brief training in breaking bad news at med school). I just do not get why some one would turn it into a joke for clicks and likes
I hate when people fake things! I’m disabled I can’t imagine why people want to be like me! It’s not fun to be disabled. It’s not fun for your life to center around a disorder that has upended your life- before it began. WHY? Why do you want be sick so bad?! It’s not fun!
Edit: thank you for standing up for people with disabilities, I may not have cancer but it helps us when people speak out.
Second edit: I have anxiety, depression, hypermobile ehlers danlos, rheumatoid arthritis and autism. I take DMARDS (small chemo shots) thankfully, through using folic acid I haven’t lost my hair like a few of my friends on methotrexate but I do get nausea, it’s not to the extent of cancer but it’s still horrible and can sometimes last 2 days to the next dose (a week) you can tell I take it, my skin is more pale than before and I lose a lot of weight. Autoimmune diseases suck, this said it’s given me a huge amount of respect for cancer patients. I’ll prolly be taking it for life or until it stops working but it’s only a shot not a bag. I hate people who fake this shit. Why?!
Im disabeled as well. I do not understand why people want to be disabled
She just wanted money from people that saw her story.
@@Carolyn_Cannon ya I take DMARDs (a chemo shot) which gives me a high respect for cancer patients because it gives me a taste. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone and it makes my heart hurt that people would fake it.
@@lorissabingham6739 ya I would never use my RA, HEDS, autism, or any of it to get money, I do everything I can to look somewhat “normal”. I have to wear knee braces when I go out bc I can be unstable walking and there’s times where I don’t want the attention or even to be seen by people so I risk it and don’t wear them to which my parents will often scold me as I come back with a sprain or pain from not. That’s how bad I don’t want this. I don’t want any of it. I’m not complaining when I say it, just explaining. I have such high respect for cancer patients as I take DMARDs for my RA (chemo in a shot form) it’s not like bags and bags but I take it weekly and get some of the chemo nausea from it. I got lucky that it was only that and not the skin sores and hair loss that methotrexate can cause. The nausea though is terrible, the only thing that helps is kombucha and it only lessens it. It’s a nausea that won’t go away, it feels like a severe food poisoning but your body won’t get sick so it sits there. I sometimes have to force myself to eat the day after as I’ll be too nauseated to eat but if I don’t eat with my meds I’ll get even more sick. Sometimes the nausea lasts for the weekend (I take the shot Friday night) other times it lasts a week. I fucking hate it. Add in what RA and EDS does to my body. Medicine only slows what is happening, it’ll never alleviate everything. One of my fingers I can barely bend, I need spine surgery because my disc is gone, my pelvis and ribs are always misaligned. I mean… I just don’t get it. I don’t wish this in anyone. The pain the 15 meds I take, the restrictions, the looks… I don’t understand.
I do want to say that despite this all I do try to be as happy as I can be. I go to school through a vocational program provided to DDS clients and they’re about to hire me on, I am getting surgery to fix my spine in hopes it’ll give me less pain and a little more ability to be a bit more free, I can understand most things people have gone thru to an extent (I have PTSD) and it gives me an open mind to help people using my experiences to understand people and support them. I want to see people happy around me and make them smile as sometimes that’s the best way to help people and to make yourself better to.
*I want to use my pain to better others lives not to better my own*
Even though I don't want to be considered disabled, I am. I got in a car accident back in 2003 and resulted with a TBI, burns, loss of left ear and missing digits on my right hand. Having a disability is definitely not pleasant.
As someone who's now in remission after so many obstacles this makes me sick. People are just getting worse these days.
This is really hurtful that someone would do such a thing. My Grandma died from cancer and my other Grandma is going to die of stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer before the end of the year.
I've been fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Luekemia for 4 years. She should have to sit and listen to people like me tell her what it's really like as part of her punishment. I'm also super suspicious of people who would want to share all this stuff online. I couldn't even imagine trying to profit off my suffering.
So disgusting, faking an illness that kills people each and every day and she can’t even begin to know what that actually feels like but wants to fake like she does 😤
I have Type 1 Diabetes and it is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Not only with the shots every time I eat, pricking my fingers to test for blood every hour, waking up at 12,3 and 6 in the morning to make sure I’m not crashing in the middle of the night, dry skin, large amounts of thirst, wetting the bed due to my body trying to get rid of sugar in my blood, the promise of seizures if I’m too low, and on top of that the social aspects of it such as people thinking I can’t eat sugar or asking why I’m not fat, I hate this woman for even mentioning the reason I hated myself.
as a 20 yr old, i remember being in middle and high school thinking about how much i didn't feel content or calm ever but seeing everyone talk to the same couple of counselors made me doubt myself (like wow is it everyone?), seeing more and more articles about adults probably people i could've graduated with, lie and lie and lie even now? is mind boggling, I know now about my proper diagnosis and am just so glad I did not let myself get told what i could it could not have by my peers, it was a confusing time seriously. Thanks for your content Brett :) !
When she claimed to have Pancreatic Cancer I immediately felt sick to my stomach, I lost my father to pancreatic cancer, and the pain that he went through was hard for me to witness and him to endure. Death was a blessing for him. After he was diagnosed with he lasted 2 months before he went to his eternal rest. All cancers are horrible and to try to make money of of it is just disgusting. Luckily, my Faith Community was their for my family and in the end we paid for nothing due to the our pouring of our Faith Community. The church was packed with some people having to stand. I miss him everyday. He passed at home surrounded by loved ones, with his daughter and wife (my mom) at his side.
Omggggg knowing people who have passed from pancreatic cancer (including FAMILY!) this is disgusting, smh 🤦🏼♀️
I just lost my Grandma Naomi to pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago. It was so horrible. We went to see her (she lived a state over from me & my immediate family) and she was joking around, talking, laughing, and I specifically remember her saying “Jesus I never thought I’d live to see my own funeral” as everyone in our family sat in her house, lmao she was the best. But we went to see her legit 6 days later, and she was in bed, not talking, and basically seemed like a person in a coma & she passed about 10 hours after that. So to see this bullshit here makes me sick.
my friend's mom just died of cancer, and it is absolutely heartbreaking. someone faking it for personal gain is extremely inconsiderate of other people who have gone through this themselves
This is outrageous! I watched my father my father die from pancreatic cancer. I also worked with cancer patients. My mother in law just finished her last chemo treatment today and rang the bell. She lost hair just like everyone else I have seen go through this horrible disease.
After losing my grandpa my only grandpa to pancreatic cancer and losing a friend to it, I have no words. Pancreatic cancer is NOTHING to joke about since most people die to it after only a few months. I have no words
This makes me so mad!! I lost both my parents to cancer! It is terrible watching the people you love wither away from a horrific disease!!!! It was awful and heartbreaking!!
As someone who lost her dad after 6 years of watching his life brutally being taken from him by pancreatic cancer, what she did is utterly, extremely and overwhelmingly offensive and hurtful to every person and family member with or that has a family member that has/had it
as someone whos mom had cancer and knows how hard it can be this is disgusting.
