Why they keep calling her beautiful I don’t really understand. Because she really isn’t. She’s cute, but not beautiful.
The first time I heard about fake cancer recipients getting rich using cancer was a Leanne Church aka Mobbs from Hill End, using a shaved head and getting money through Daffodil House in Bathurst NSW. She is still receiving after her jail sentence with National Parks still supplying her a free house to live in. Now it seems to be a real tread throughout Australia. Seems every bludger is using the fake cancer story. I wonder if NP is stepping up with free homes for the rest of them.
I wonder how Amanda behaved in prison after all this ordeal. Did she continue faking cancer and manipulating others thru that other perspective? Because like you said she was in jail because of wire transfers not because she was lying about cancer.
It’s called narcissism and it’s a dangerous and delusional personality. That’s the story in a nutshell, that’s why Amanda did what she did.
"The View" vibes here…cringe
Lame
Go after Tim Ballard snd O.U.R. He conned $40 million from trusting viewets, along with Angel Studios!
Nancy needs to chill a bit more, and let Charlie speak a bit more!
I don't get why the one commentator states, it wasn't about the money. It was very much about the money. I feel bad for people who went without groceries or new needed shoes or school supplies to give to this fraud. Too bad that we are making a mini celeb out her and her crimes!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂SCAMMER YOU ARE A JOKE AMANDA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Its so hard to believe the husband was fooled! Especially of he was in the hospital room with her; where doctors and nurses come and talk to the 'patient'. How has he never talked to the doctors himself about his wife's condition?! Too hard to believe.
#MadMacReturns is faking cancer for donations
Any sane person would not go after Nancy after the faker is arrested and sentenced.
She is disgusting! Since April last year, 3 of us in my family were diagnosed with cancer. I have Breast Cancer, Mom with Uterine Cancer and older brother with Colon Cancer. And this healthy individual faked having cancer??? this is not a joke! I haven’t even told some of my friends that I’m sick because I don’t want them to feel bad for me. I kept it a secret in my new job as I want to be treated fairly and be judged based on what I can bring to the table. She triggers me.
I wonder if Amanda is aware that if Corey was willing to conduct himself in that way WITH her, he will probably do the same TO her? 🤭
Only a women could get this much sympathy.🙄
How obnoxious is it when she constantly says…”right.?” I had to stop watches.
If she really acquires a disease, who would pity her then? Karma could be a real b____.
Didn't she get the idea from a friend who was talking about a man who had actual cancer, and the friend said that he got money and gifts for support for his cancer. That there was an ah ha moment when I heard that.
Hauntingly familiar … It's like your gut tells you something isn't right, and when one "person" is the ONLY credible source there's most likely something to hide ..
IMO the husband knew exactly what was going on and he was part of the fraud. He should have been investigated as well.
I don’t have cancer but I do have a life limiting genetic condition and I could never imagine scamming people out of their hard earned money by pretending to be sick with a life limiting or terminal illness.
Do a google of Belle Gibson. She's from Australia and she faked cancer and ripped people off for donations, she even created a wellness app and recipe book claiming she was healing herself with her eating plan.
How she scammed her 100k
How could you verify with the facilities and hospitals when they have a HIPPA policy.
What a sad story / reality …thank goodness Amanda is in prison! Thank you all for bringing this to light …I will pray for all that were victims of this horrible crime!
Wow. This truly is SO much more than a money grab. The psychological manipulation this woman has spun is incredibly sick and twisted. I feel so awful for the ex wife. Just wow. Thanks to you 3, especially Nancy for exposing this. Love TCD❤
