Narcissist do this. They destroy anyone they feel like. Never any loyalty. They can turn on anyone and do. This is why you don't want to be on their radar. They will accuse people of of things. There is no limit to their demonic tales. Evil little children inside an adult body.
Her faking cancer is made worse by the fact that she kept working and living alone while supposedly undergoing chemo. I hate the narrative that it’s somehow “brave” and “virtuous” to suffer in silence. All this does is make it harder for people who are actually sick and unable to “power through”!
I was thinking exactly the same throughout the entire video! How absolutely disrespectful and vile, to be a completely healthy person and elevate yourself over people that are genuinely suffering, making them look bad and weak compared to her. I know she was sick and needed psychiatric help, I'm sure she had her great deal of trauma because she clearly had issues going on, but I honestly can't excuse purposely hurting people by using the narrative that you CAN power through something like this.
I can’t agree with this comment more, for some reason us with chronic pain are not believed by the medical community and sometimes friends and family because you can’t see it. I’ve been living with chronic pain and chronic illnesses since 2007 and have been disbelieved by doctors and friends and it really broke my heart and made what I was going through harder. People would say things like so and so has what you have and they still work…well did so and so have a botched spin surgery and other chronic pain syndromes!? Sometimes I can’t get out or take a shower let alone go to work. Sorry this woman really upset me because of my own situation and for those I know who have cancer or anyone who has or had cancer or love someone that does.
So after not freezing her eggs because she didn't want children. She all of a sudden became pregnant while receiving chemo; and made the heart wrenching decision to abort a baby she acted like she never wanted to start with. This woman is something else.
As someone who may not be able to have children because of my cancer treatments (the standard dosage doesn’t cause infertility so my insurance wouldn’t cover egg freezing, but I was given twice the standard dose for a person my size) this really sits badly with me. Like I will never know if I can conceive until I do-or don’t.
I honestly feel terrible for Jennifer. She went through so much only to have her story stolen. Elizabeth is a TERRIBLE woman and deserves nothing from life.
I’m a hairstylist. I had a client who came in and told me she had cancer and her hair was falling out seemingly overnight. It was weird because the hair didn’t look broken. It looked like there were lines where a pair of clippers had maybe cut into the hair. I obviously said nothing about it to her, but did tell her we could cut it into a cute pixie if she’d rather save what she wanted since she seemed so upset. Her friend was with her and told me everyone at their church thought my client was lying. After I cut the pixie cut, she left with her friend. I later told my boss how the hair didn’t look broken, but cut. It wasn’t really my business though. 2 hours later she called me and said she just wanted to shave it anyways because it would all fall out. She came back and I shaved the remaining hair. A few weeks later her daughter came in. I asked how her mother was doing and she looks at me MORTIFIED and says “Did my mom tell you she has cancer!? She doesn’t!” Needless to say, I won’t call her out on it, but I’m always too booked to take her as a client anymore. My grandpa passed from cancer and my bosses mother-in-law lost all her hair from cancer and has battled it twice. It’s so beyond disrespectful to those who really are battling.
Not to excuse this lady but my friend's mom has dementia and tells people she has cancer and she's dying but it was her husband who died from cancer. Maybe something is off with that lady?
That’s crazy…I still can’t fathom why anyone would want to do that…is attention really worth the whole charade of cutting off your hair, medicines, bandages etc? Completely ignoring the fact that cancer is a dangerous disease that has killed millions
Hate that this is even a thing! My daughter was diagnosed with cancer last year and the trauma that comes with it is insane. I will never understand people lying about having such a destructive diagnosis.
It’s extra tragic because that does actually happen with hereditary cancers sometimes 😢 my stepmom was diagnosed with breast cancer after watching it kill her mother, and it adds an extra layer to the pain.
I personally know Jennifer and the hell Elizabeth put her through is unreal. Her ex had put her through so much and then she met someone seemingly amazing to just drag her again. Thank you for being so respectful and telling this story.
As someone living with a chronic illness, hearing her say that 11:23 you should live with an illness in quiet dignity and ‘power through’ and basically ‘yes you can do it all, I did’ makes me feel sick. I can’t imagine reading that before the truth came out, it would have upset me so much, making me think I need to try harder because she’s managing, when the only thing she was working so hard at, was lying. People who make up illness get more help and support than people with illness, because they play as the ‘perfect sufferer’ showing just enough for sympathy without making people uncomfortable.
The issue is also with society for praising this behaviour. I don't know how many times I've heard able-bodied people praise disabled people for "powering through" or "never complaining". When I got ill I put a lot of pressure on myself to be like that when it was truly impossible and just made things worse. I don't think people do it on purpose, but I do think it makes disability/illness easier for them to swallow/ignore if we are 'powering through' or 'never complaining' i.e. "acting normal"
Exactly, as someone that has 2 chronic illnesses lupus and RA . It’s sickening … because somedays “we “(ppl that are really struggling with illness)simply can’t power through our bodies won’t let us. I struggle with this because I don’t stop work,taking care of my family ,and house and eventually end up in bed for a couple of days suffering. So this is disgusting behavior.
@@joanieglenn0718 you make some great points. Even people with mental health issues can’t just “power through”. I can’t imagine going through that WITH an autoimmune disease or cancer. As if you don’t want to just get over it. Ugh this woman makes me so angry. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through.
I’m an ovarian cancer survivor, in remission since February. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer this past month. Cancer is hell, and lying about having it is just unfathomable to me and downright disgusting!!!
You’d think the brother could of sued her for slander or something, pretending he abused her then going to treatment for it? There’s got to be something there legally. Disgusting.
since everyone knows she's a serial liar now, people are generally unlikely to believe the claims against him since she's the only source. if he was to lose work due to the slander then maybe he would have a case?
I can’t believe I’m about to write this but…. She managed to do SO MUCH WORSE than “just” fake cancer. Poor Jennifer, the absolute betrayal she must feel
Exactly. Everything else I could disregard as Elizabeth is probably mentally ill. Maybe even if her lying condition is treatable she could try to make amends with some people she lied to. But what she did to Jennifer is straightforward mean and harmful and I can't comprehend how could she take advantage of her story when she knew what Jennifer had went through. Also, what she said about her brother is kind of unforgivable but what she did to Jennifer just blows my mind.
My experience of having cancer doesn’t feel like being “showered with love and attention.” A lot of people avoid you because the disease makes them uncomfortable. And the ones who do give you their attention… are the ones who love you the most, and you see their worry and distress. Not fun. What a weird way to get the focus on yourself.
Agreed. My family and friends are gutted that I am still fighting. They don't bring certain things up because they're afraid of hurting or triggering me. It makes things more difficult all around.
@@1poepoend50 sry I'm 5mo late. I somehow missed this ep. I hope & pray you are cancer free now- or ATLEAST that that's the 100% expected outcome & it won't be much longer that you have to keep fighting cancer. Im 57yo &, miraculously, I've not had, nor bn personally touched by cancer (yet). When I read your comment, one of my first thought was that I wondered if you've ever considered writing a book: One that covers everything you want it to- but also includes what TO & NOT to do in terms of how to best serve loved one's suffering & fighting cancer. 38yrs ago, I lost my 1st born child. Ever since then, I've thought I should write a book advising well-meaning loved one's on how to comfort & deal with a parent who's had to bury their own child bc there's no grief even remotely comparable. I'm a lil ashamed Ive not done so...even tho I still see the great need for such a book. Anyway, Idk if it's God, but I felt the sudden, overwhelming feeling that you would be an EXCELLENT author for such a book- if that's even something you've ever considered doing when your feeling back to your healthy self. NRN...again- I just felt compelled to share. Idky.
My partner had two close friends get married during that time. He was not invited to either wedding. The rest of his family were....but not him. I am still gutted for him just thinking about it.
@@Rose_Castleafter I got sick with a rare neurological condition, I started being uninvited to weddings and events. About 4 people have visited my house in the past (many) years. People treat you like a leper for sure. This woman deserves no peace 😠
This is INSANE, like as soon as I thought it couldn't get crazier it did. Reminds me of that lady who pretended to be in the 9/11 attacks and ran a large community group about it. I feel so awful for Jennifer from going from one horrible situation directly into that mess, and I hope she and her children are doing well.
@@jackies961you must not remember that 9/11 story then. Tania Head caused just as much distress, confusion, frustration and anger as this scumbag. It wasn’t a competition to begin with but in no world does that story not “hold a candle” to this one.
@@JME1186i mean She didn't take any $ for it and donated money to groups so like No I don't think it holds a candle to this. Especially because they could (and eventually did) verify that she was in Barcelona on 9/11🤦🏽♀️
This episode reminds me so much of my ex-roommate. They used pieces of my history to create a traumatic backstory for themselves... would openly talk about my personal trauma that they'd overhear from my telehealth therapy sessions, as if it happened to them. They'd magically get "diagnosed" with any diseases friends would have. Just the most awful and frustrating and disgusting type of human to be around.
not my roommate but a girl I knew in college did exactly this. All of what you've just said. It was terrifying and baffling and I think I'm still kinda traumatised from it, it really messed with my head. She switched her major to mine, so I couldn't escape her for years. I'm so sorry that you went through the same thing, it's scary to think how often it actually happens.
@@Zimzum93 My heart goes out to you. I also have EDS and trauma related disabilities. The people who make disability decisions are the most fickle and uncompassionate people on the planet. I hope you get the support you deserve! And I hope the people who did these horrible things disappear into obscurity.
my gfs friends partner did this to my gf. they took really specific things from my gfs past, changed the setting and claimed it as their own. really crazy
yes i knew someone in high school who would claim to have the craziest mental health disorders and illnesses and not so surprisingly was friends/dating the other person who faked physical diseases and disabilities. (we knew they were faking because people who went over to their house would talk to their parents and mention it and the parents had no idea what they were talking about)
I’m praying 🙏 for you to have comfort and peace during this difficult time. If God’s will is to heal you, I pray for this too. You’re doing great 👍🏽 ❤ God bless you in Jesus Christ Name 🙏
As someone who is no longer into true crime as much because I started to find it too depressing and anxiety inducing, I enjoy hearing about stories like this
My cousin would tell awesome tales in elementary school like she had a twin and the real girl everyone knew was in France. Yeah she stole parent trap basically only there was only her and she was fooling kids. Or that she had an older brother that she never met because he was adopted and was Kirk Cameron 😭🤣😂
She probably felt like she didn't get enough attention from her knee surgery, so she conjured up something that would undoubtedly get her the kind of sympathy and attention she was looking for.
The kitty views in this video are unreal 🥰❤️ I really appreciate you sharing your pets in these. It seriously makes it so much easier to hear these crazy stories
This story is insane! My dad passed away from cancer in May of 2022. He fought until he couldn’t anymore it was very sad to see. Her lying about cancer is like a slap in the face to him and everyone else who is fighting the terrible disease.
In my opinion, one who is actually living with a stage 4 very rare cancer that has been drug through hell and back this is a crime. Look at how many lives she affected. Look at her wife who was in treatment for abuse to deal with mental abuse. I believe in karma and hers is gonna be bad. 😢
My sweet Mom is currently fighting stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. This straight up pisses me off! Shame on her, and karma will not be nice to her. Just, wow! SMH
I couldn’t have said it better myself. My sweet three year old was diagnosed with a wilms tumor (kidney cancer) it’s been 4 months of hell. It’s not fair. I’m praying for your mother!
I was in a group therapy and one of the girls (a grown ass adult as you put it) told us all she had cervical cancer. She'd miss sessions as she was getting 'treatment' and it columinated in her having to get a hysterectomy (or so we were told). My husband and I allowed her to stay with us for several weeks as her family lived in another state. Years later I was scrolling through Facebook only to find photos of her pregnant and then with her baby and talking about how amazing it was to grow a human. What hurts all the more is that my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 8 years. It still shocks me that she just lied and manipulated us so easily. She'd even run from the therapy room to throw up. So messed up.
I loss both of my parents to cancer just this year... there are no words. I can't imagine someone actually lying about having it. What a despicable individual
People like her demean and disparage those of us who actually feel ill from treatment, sick with actual symptoms, and need other people because we DON'T want to "power through" and do it alone. It's ridiculous, actually, because cancer and its treatments are no joke. You need love and support and compassion. I overcame cervical cancer via hysterectomy and was subsequently diagnosed with leukemia about 6 years ago. Friends and family know but otherwise I don't mention it as it is painful to think someone might think I'm lying. How messed up is that? How very cruel to pretend you have any clue what real cancer sufferers go through just because you want attention. It's simply revolting. Such behavior really should be treated criminally, especially because these stories are all too common these days.
i hope jennifer, elisabeth’s parents and everyone else involved are doing better today. what a shockingly terrible thing to do to so many people and for what????
It's one of "those things" that money can't buy, in a world where money rules everything! It's even more evident when things like this take place. It was all worth more than the value of money that she received from it all. Crazy world we live in.
i feel so bad for Jennifer, that she would end up in the clutches of yet another awful person right after she'd escaped her marriage, some people just cant catch a break it seems
As someone who lives with a critical illness and works full-time, people like this disgust and unfortunately fascinate me. I have SO much internalized ableism which I've been trying to grapple with and then I come across stories like this. She's milking her made-up diagnosis and I'm just learning how to ask for accommodations at work. Yikes.
I hear what you're saying. It took me YEARS to come to terms with my disability/illnesses. I still feel like I have to hide it if at all possible, as well. (Although I'm getting better about it.) It's so shocking to see people on the opposite end of the spectrum!! 😟 They use others' empathy as a weapon... it's so insidious.
@lastsaint7778Internalized ablelism is when you take in society's ablelist attitudes and you turn them inwards. So like, the case for me was "trying not to be a bother" for those around me. Or constantly feeling guilty about being sick because "I'm not that sick" since my symptoms were not visible to those around. I have multiple sclerosis, and most of my symptoms are related to fatigue and chronic pain. I thought that since I'm not "visibly physically disabled" that I had no right to be as upset or feel as sick as I did. It's complicated, lol.
I feel like stories like this just make me more paranoid about being seen as "faking it" when i have to back out of things or miss work for pain/health issues....like its just a struggle to take one of the two personal days i get a year for this even if it makes me feel worse overall and then you learn about someone exploiting illness this way and worry about being lumped in with them. Hell, I even start questioning myself if I "really" need it! Its the worst.
The worst part about people who fake it is that they always make themselves seem better than actual patients. They act like they are so strong and do things other people can’t do (like living alone and continuing to work). Absolutely abhorrent behavior.
I’m 27, I lost my mother to metastatic breast cancer that spread to her bones, and liver a couple weeks ago. This absolutely disgusts me. It take immense strength to fight cancer. This woman is absolutely pathetic and a disgrace. There’s a special place in hell for people like this.
@@omgitsmonikuh I’m so sorry that must have been so hard 💔 there’s nothing a daughter wants more than her mom through pregnancy and birth. Stay strong mama 💪🏼❤️
My favourite thing about this story is that she claimed to need a “double kidney transplant” but could apparently only manage to get one… when they do kidney transplants not only do they only ever do one kidney, but they also leave the failing kidneys there so if she really had a kidney transplant she’d actually have 3 kidneys! 😂
I actually had an experience like this with a colleague who I became friends with. I was always a bit suspect of her, she started saying things that were implausible but not IMPOSSIBLE but her stories got wilder and wilder. Eventually she had a "leaving party" because she was apparently travelling overseas for medical care (part of her story included a rare illness of course) and I ended up talking to her cousin there who basically said one thing that confirmed it was all an elaborate fantasy. I think there are a LOT of these people out there.
On a slightly similar vein I used to be friends with a woman who was so annoyed by all the attention her husband received from family when he had an operation, that she pretended for a day that she might have an ectopic pregnancy. (I think she had seen someone else go through this and had filed the details away in her mind to be used at a later date.) It was shocking to hear her calmly describe how she waited for her period to arrive then called herself an ambulance, saying they had been trying for a baby and she thought she might be pregnant.. It didn't take long for the hospital to kick her out, but it was long enough that she got the spot light on herself. Some people.
I believe myself to be a very strong woman. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I didn’t want to burden my parents, yet them being beside me during treatment made a lot of difference. the narrative that she is a strong woman that is going to work through treatment doesn’t necessarily make her a martyr even if she did in reality have cancer. It is shocking to me that people around her did not know. The side effect of chemotherapy and the weakness experienced with it makes it impossible for any person to go through it completely alone. You need at least somebody to drive you to and from, the hospital after Each treatment. I was able to work through radiation, but only part time with limited capacity. I return to work not because I had to, but because it gave me a sense of self. It also assured my children that I was feeling better. I’ve been cancer free for over 15 years yet. This story triggered a lot of emotions in me. I couldn’t stay silent.
It's so unfair to people who are barely making it through the day due to illness or whatever reason. I have always hated the phrase that someone has it worse because I feel like there's no way to judge something you've never been through yourself. Yet here she is powering through something impossible and spreading the message that anything is possible if you want it bad enough which just isn't the case. At least it hasn't been in my own experience dealing with a chronic disease.
Can’t believe that Jennifer’s therapist took Elizabeth on as a client, too! It is unethical for a therapist to take on a client that is a family member or friend of a client they already have. It’s highly frowned upon.
I have chronic health issues stemming from a degenerative genetic condition, and had attempted to start a YT channel in order to create a community of support for similar issues. I was immediately accused of faking, and have never had the courage to try again. COVID only made the sense of social isolation worse, and people like elizabeth make it so much harder to try again either socializing or creating community.
Please consider giving it another go. You could do an episode that explains why you’re not faking it and add that link to such shortsighted comments. I wish you well.
Honestly it is surprising how little Elisabeth was suspected of faking it, considering how actually sick people are constantly told they’re faking it. I guess it’s easier to shrug it off when you really are lying? I dunno.
OMG! I commented about this situation months ago and then was encouraged to send a request form. I have no idea if Kendall actually saw it but I’m so excited to hear her talk about this case, it’s bonkers.
This hits especially close to home because my mom actually had chondrosarcoma when she was in her 30’s. I remember her surgery and physical therapy, how she balanced being an amazing mom and her treatments. Now she’s kicking ass in her career and still an amazing mom.
I'm glad your mom fought the fight and you still have in your life idk what I would if I lost my mom and I'm glad she's doing so great now I hope you two have many more wonderful years together
I am so happy to hear that your mother’s story with battling cancer has a happy ending! 💗 What an incredibly strong and courageous mother you have and I am so happy to hear that she is living her best life and that have the gift of her still being here to be apart of your life. 💞 I wish your family, mother, and you all the best.
Thank you for sharing this. I do not have cancer but I have a serious illness and I am always so scared I will devolve into a bad mother. It makes me so glad to hear a story of a mother who was able to balance both and even thrive in her own ways. I hope I am good enough to give my daughter a life like your mom did. I'm inspired 💖
I knew a woman who did this! She made up having lupus, and then they 'found cancer'. Her husband would pick her up and drop her off but wasn't allowed to go into appointments. Almost all of her fb posts were about how confounded her Dr's were at her ability to keep living through rare and advanced diseases. 'Might not make it to Thanksgiving' and then a month later 'this could be my last Christmas'. Eventually, the truth came out when someone confronted her about where the $ from her charity/walkathon was going, and she took her own life. Very, very sad.
Very important story to share!!! I think all the people calling her vile and evil forget that these people could be (and almost always are) suffering with severe, tumultuous mental illness. She was very very sick, and that's part of the DUAL tragedy of cases like this, where a victim is also a victimiser.
Catherine in the show still has the cancer too. The show is still going and the character still has symptoms. Surprised they haven’t “cured” her of it or something to retcon the issue.
@@karamelfan her cancer is back as per the last time they talked about it . I remember Catherine telling Richard that it is growing again and back ! I sure hope she survives Richard has lost every women he loves !!!
Wow. I feel so bad for Elizabeth's family and I am so glad that Jennifer survived an abusive marriage and got herself out of a toxic situation with Elizabeth. Just finished the Scamanda podcast. She was even worse than Elizabeth. The damage these people do to true victims is awful.
I think it’s particularly gross that she almost glamorized/normalized work over health. Yes do what you love but working herself to “death” should not be something people admired ro the point of writing a piece about it in Elle and Grey’s hiring her…if that’s what it takes to be a “valued employee” I don’t want it! 😅
same, i don't get these people. idk if its an american thing to admire this kind of stuff but i certainly wouldnt admire someone going through something so debilitating while refusing ALL help and working FULL TIME. i would think theyre being dumb (or that theyre faking).
@@hattarapilviIt’s definitely an American thing. Workaholism is praised and if you’re not breaking your back like everyone else, you’ll often be resented for it even though none of us should have to be especially for corporations that’ll replace you in a minute. It’s a confusing and stressful culture to grow up in yet no one understands why people don’t wanna work or participate in society anymore, the older generations just accepted it
@@hp6964 It’s definitely not an American thing. I have friends from Japan, South Korea and sundial who gave similar stories. It’s more common than you think.
Her statement at the end about how lying was her coping mechanism really annoys me. What she did was abuse people, and I know hurt people hurt people, but that's a different level of accountability than someone who self-harms. It didn't sound - to me - like she was taking that accountability.
Stories like these always strike me as a odd. Being someone who suffered with a disabling illness while working full-time, I have to say that I rarely was shown as much sympathy as this woman seemed to get. I don't think my experience was unique, either. I think its a natural human resonse to be skeptical of anyone claiming special treatment in the workplace, but it felt draining to always be questioned about it. I just don't understand why anyone would ever want to go through the experience of pretending to be a burden.
I completely understand this. A few years ago in my support group there was someone who kept lying and prying and trying to get details on Sjögrens, like trying to take the stories from people who shared and thought she was just trying to get diagnosed and struggling…as it turns out, she was completely lying and just spinning the details we all shared to pretend she had this disease and it was so disturbing to me that someone wanted to pretend to feel and suffer the way we do every day. I was so shook afterward, I stopped being active in the group and felt kind of violated tbh.
It's extremely comforting to hear your stories from your childhood. Thanks for sharing, it's important to be able to hold ourselves accountable and reflect on things like that. I know for a fact I developed a British accent out of no where in 2nd grade, and it magically disappeared weeks later haha.
my grandpa passed from sarcoma in 2021... that exact type. so cool of her to take that as a personality trait. sooo quirky. /s he couldn't walk, eat properly or breathe properly. it happened really quickly, we found out a month after he was hospitalized, after his autopsy, actually.
I'm disabled and there are some crazy people in the support groups who love to talk big about how they're able to be mobile and go work because they are just so strong. I'm bedbound but used to be mobile with the same condition. It's such a harmful narrative and invalidates others to say that it is about personality. I am still fighting to work and to survive but my personality has nothing to do with my mobility. I feel like some people like the attention but they also love the comparison that they are better than other disabled people who are so "weak" that they stay in bed.
I have multiple chronic disabilities, I had major brain surgery two years ago and I still work full time because I have no other option, but is not peaches and cream. I don’t believe to anybody that says they work the same way after being chronically disabled. I’ve had to fight for accommodations, because is not that easy to get them even when is the law. The trauma that comes from the constant fight and also the fear of not being able to fulfill some task and that being used against you as an undue hardship. Having to work through the bad days, nobody is happy and giggly running to the bathroom to vomit or working with a migraine or other pain, etc. I feel these people that brag about not having any effects in their career, or even more claim is because they are strong, are making a disservice to the disabled community, because they create unrealistic expectations. I understand each disability is different, but I find it so hard to believe and I try to not allow it to make me feel bad about myself and how much my illness impacts my life, but is hard.
@@lhr8833 yeah, I still work and it's super hard. I've had to change the way I work. But still, I recognize that some people literally cannot work based on symptoms. A few of my friends have ME/CFS so bad that they're just clinging on to life in bed. I recognize that my career path and my current abilities still give me a window even though it's tough. I have no other option but to work too. I also make sure I only surround myself with empathetic people. Especially people who if they are mobile now were once bedbound. Because they know how quickly some external factor can take us down and know that it has nothing to do with a can-do attitude
Someone in the comments here said they are a hairdresser and someone came in saying they had cancer and that the hair was falling out. She didn't find that the hair looked broken, it looked like it was cut. Eventually, the client asked for the hair to be shaved off as it was going to fall out anyway. Some time later, the daughter came in and she enquired about the mom's health. The daughter was mortified - said that it wasn't true that the mom had cancer. 🤦♂ So I dunno if the people in the support groups are vetted i.e. they really have what they claim to have. But maybe you should keep in the back of your mind that they are a lot of fakers out there. I remember back in school, my version of study was to cram a few days before. But I never pulled any all-nighters. Everyone else always seemed to boast that they stayed up until 2am and all sorts of crazy hours studying. I felt bad that I didn't do any of those things (but did well on exams anyway). I wonder now, how many of those feats of achievement were actually true? 🤔🤣
@@markusgorelli5278I definitely finished in a specialized high school and engineering school doing all nighters, but I wasn’t proud about it, was just a product of my chronic procrastination. A decade later was diagnosed ADHD and made sense. If you had the discipline and brain function to study on time and not having to lose your nights, you should be the happy one about not needing that. People bragging about that are the same that in the work are always bragging of all the over-time they do, for me that just means they are bad managing their tasks or their manager is bad distributing work load.
@@Hallmark44 The litigation to get all that back would be too head-achey. It would be easier to cut their losses. But I wonder if she won't be quietly blacklisted from the industry. 🤷♂
Thanks for the trigger warning Kendall! I’ve lost a couple of loved ones to cancer so I couldn’t move forward watching. I knew this story would anger me if I moved forward. Absolutely despicable that anyone would fake this horrible disease.
Many have lost loved ones to cancer. It is angering yes, but triggering ? Does America actually need “trigger” warnings ? Have they all turned into a bunch of saps?
@@waveafterwave0723Watching someone die from a horrible disease can definitely cause trauma and become triggering. And no America isn't a bunch of babies, we just care about mental health. I'm from Poland and I know so many depressed people there that get no help from doctors and get told to toughen up.
@@waveafterwave0723girl, it’s not that deep. It’s a good thing to give people warnings about something that could be upsetting to them. Not everyone in America is a “baby,” some of us just have empathy for those different than ourselves.
@@waveafterwave0723Jesus Christ imagine calling someone a "sap" for not being able to listen to a faked cancer story? Have some sympathy my god, probably lost a close person to cancer and i can see it bringing up lots of heartbreak? Wow
@@waveafterwave0723 OH GROW UP. Are you the person saying that it's triggering to her? Don't try and put others valid feelings down just because you think the whole world revolves around you. It doesn't.
Love that you covered this. I couldn’t believe it when I first heard about it. That someone could be so evil. And the interview she gave after it all came out is a WILD read. She doesn’t sound remorseful, she sounds like she’s doing a whole “woe is me” song and dance, talking about how she lost everything and why is it such a big deal and making headlines lmao
It’s wild to hear about all the things that she lied about in her actual life that coincide with Grey’s Anatomy. There were so many times watching this that I said aloud “well that was an episode.” “That’s literally Izzy.” It has me wanting to go and look up what episode she wrote for 🙃
Well Izzie was last seen in season 6 (I don’t count season 16) which aired in 2010, and Elisabeth worked on this show from 2014, but there is a character of Catherine Fox and Elisabeth wrote the episodes with a cancer diagnosis for this character
There is a "special" place in hell for these people who fake illness (this person, Scamanda, etc) and take advantage of others' sympathies. The worst part of the offense is that they make people skeptical of those who are truly suffering from illness like cancer. SHAME!!
The story line with Jo's coming to be really killed me cause it followed so closely to mine. My mom didn't technically give me up for adoption, but I did have an adoptive family and I'd go back and forth between their house and my moms. I was really depressed for months after watching this episode.
I’ve been taking a break from true crime for the past couple of years and I have missed you and your videos. I’m so glad I get to catch this one. I’m sure a lot of us would be happy if you did stories like this every now and again!
This was a nice break from the heavier true crime stories which are necessary and important but can take a toll mentally. Great story telling as always and I hope we can get some more videos like this in the future.
At least then she would have suffered legal consequences!!! She got off Scott free! I mean other than tarnishing her reputation and ending her marriage nothing bad happened to her and it's super frustrating.
I love true crime, but I definitely need breaks from it sometimes. Stories like these are so frustrating but very interesting. I would love to see more content like this
I lost my dad to cancer in January this year. I have been saving this video for when I felt emotionally ready to be furious with someone for faking it.
People always seem so shocked to hear stories like this but I've lived this kind of thing. A former friend has been lying about having heart cancer for over a decade, AND lied about a dead brother in order to guilt a round trip plane ticket out of an ex. It was wild.
I like to hear more stories like these vs true crime. The true crime stories can get really dark and although this story had twists and turns, no one was killed; making these my favorite types of videos to watch
@@springy9959 yes! I find true crime hard to watch at times because it’s already so much negativity going on in the world. Stories like this are a nice break
I lost my father and grandfather when I was 10 years old for cancer, yes they died 3 months apart from each other. This ruined my family and I am still dealing with the trauma of loss and seeing them slowly fading. This case just makes me furious.
I was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma when I turned 18. Thankfully, it was caught at stage 1, and I only had to have a scapulectomy (removal of my shoulder blade) to treat it. It sucked, and my left arm is still not great in terms of strength or function. I am celebrating my 10 year cancer free anniversary on Nov 5th. I had a feeling she was going to claim she had chondrosarcoma when you mentioned "rare bone cancer." People can really suck.
I can only imagine how much more painful it is for you to hear that Elizabeth was faking your illness. She takes away from people are actually struggling with illness.
Kendall, I’m studying for my first law school midterm right now and I am BEYOND overwhelmed 😣 Your videos always help me take a breather and relax between study sessions. Thank you for all the effort you put into your content, your channel really is a safe space for us ♥️♥️😚
My sister loved Grey's Anatomy and she lost her battle with cancer (stage 4 sarcoma, yep) at 32 years old. So yeah, I'm especially angry with this story. 😤 😡 Oh, I also live in Pittsburgh.
It always winds me up and pisses me off when people fake having cancer. My mum died from brain cancer and suffered three terrible years with it. The fact that people fake having cancer is disgusting.
I have zero compassion for people like Elisabeth that fake a serious disease like cancer. My Grandma fought breast cancer for over twenty years and the treatments she endured were extremely debilitating at times. Scams like this also divert attention and potentially lifesaving financial resources away from those that genuinely need them. Thank you Kendall for bringing this case to our attention.
You should voice audiobooks! I loved the way you read those bits of her article. But this case is so frustrating. My boyfriend is a cancer survivor and I’ve seen the toll it’s taken on him and the struggles he still has 7 years later and the idea that he just wasn’t “tough enough” or “independent enough” to be able to work and do chemo at the same time is just a terrible narrative
I know its insensitive to write on true crime videos about other things but wow you look so good, ive had two babies myself in the last few years and after holly you still glowing and looking amazing.... so now ill actually start the video so now i will concentrate on the story xxx
It is actually quite common, not to fake cancer but "romanticize" it in a way. Those who dont have it usually make a lot of noise about worrying about having it and those who have it keep a lot to themselves.
I expected the Izzy cancer story line to be the one that "reflected" or was "inspired by" Elizabeth when i started this epoosode. This was much more convoluted.
This is my first video of yours and I liked it. I get why people like True crime stories, but sometimes I can't handle that, and you are an excellent story teller and I enjoyed hearing about this woman being called out. As a new viewer, I hope you make a few more like this in the future if you want! I'll be here to listen.
People like Elizabeth make me sick the fact that she can fake something as serious as cancer is crazy she clearly not only did this to launch her career but obviously for attention as well
My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer when I was just 12. Within a year, she was gone. I watched her wither away into nothing, and despite the trauma, I consider myself lucky to be there for her final breaths. These people need to be prosecuted under the full extent of the law. There are people in prison for having a joint when these heartless motherfuckers usually walk free. I'm sick of it. Impersonating an ill person should be a CRIME.
My mum passed from cancer in May. And although she was incredibly strong willed and a fighter, I can’t honestly say she just ‘powered through chemo and got back to life after’. It doesn’t work like that. Well at least not for my mum. It took away a lot of her and she wasn’t ever the same after the first treatments.
LOL when the greys anatomy behind the scene is juicier than the actual show. Poor Jennifer moving fromone abusive partner to another hope she’s fine now❤️
Today 10 years ago, My beloved granny passed away from Colon Cancer. I have to say it’s pretty ironic I’m seeing this particular story today. Thanks for making my day better Kendall.❤❤
I love that you have made it a point to keep a space for your kitty in the background! Such a beautiful and sweet cat! Another amazing story, thanks for all you do! ❤
her BROTHER OFFERED to help her when he thought she had cancer... AND SHE TURNS AROUND AND FAKES THAT HE ABUSED HER???? LITERALLY WHAT????
And then kills him off in her sick little story!
It's mental iwness innit
Yeah that part was so awful! Can you imagine your own sibling falsely accusing you of abuse?
Especially after he watched his mother go through cancer, that was an ever bigger wtf to me, how can you do that to your family
Narcissist do this. They destroy anyone they feel like. Never any loyalty. They can turn on anyone and do. This is why you don't want to be on their radar. They will accuse people of of things. There is no limit to their demonic tales. Evil little children inside an adult body.
Her faking cancer is made worse by the fact that she kept working and living alone while supposedly undergoing chemo. I hate the narrative that it’s somehow “brave” and “virtuous” to suffer in silence. All this does is make it harder for people who are actually sick and unable to “power through”!
I was thinking exactly the same throughout the entire video! How absolutely disrespectful and vile, to be a completely healthy person and elevate yourself over people that are genuinely suffering, making them look bad and weak compared to her.
I know she was sick and needed psychiatric help, I'm sure she had her great deal of trauma because she clearly had issues going on, but I honestly can't excuse purposely hurting people by using the narrative that you CAN power through something like this.
100 percent THIS.
Take comfort in the fact that she'll die alone as well
Exactly!!!
I can’t agree with this comment more, for some reason us with chronic pain are not believed by the medical community and sometimes friends and family because you can’t see it. I’ve been living with chronic pain and chronic illnesses since 2007 and have been disbelieved by doctors and friends and it really broke my heart and made what I was going through harder. People would say things like so and so has what you have and they still work…well did so and so have a botched spin surgery and other chronic pain syndromes!? Sometimes I can’t get out or take a shower let alone go to work. Sorry this woman really upset me because of my own situation and for those I know who have cancer or anyone who has or had cancer or love someone that does.
Can you imagine being her surgeon and happening upon this article saying she’s got these tumors and not being able to say anything because of HIPPA
That's an angle I didn't think of. Wow that would be horrible
That’s one of the first things I thought of 😢
I always think of this 😂 they must be like WTF
wow what a good point!!! would this circumstance warrant an exception?
Hipaa
I actually miss Kendall doing stories like this. I like the true crime, but her storytelling is my fave
I like these too because sometimes it’s nice to have a break.

Yeah, same! I actually found her through her scammers and liars series. I love them!
i agree i got so bored w the politically correct true crime
So after not freezing her eggs because she didn't want children. She all of a sudden became pregnant while receiving chemo; and made the heart wrenching decision to abort a baby she acted like she never wanted to start with. This woman is something else.
As someone who may not be able to have children because of my cancer treatments (the standard dosage doesn’t cause infertility so my insurance wouldn’t cover egg freezing, but I was given twice the standard dose for a person my size) this really sits badly with me. Like I will never know if I can conceive until I do-or don’t.
how did she even get pregnant tho? like where in the story would that fit?
@@maddiedoesntkno I'm so sorry, I really hope you'll be able to have children when you'll want them 🫂🍀 Sending love
I honestly feel terrible for Jennifer. She went through so much only to have her story stolen. Elizabeth is a TERRIBLE woman and deserves nothing from life.
Right! I hope Jennifer has a quiet life and much love from her kids. Also, she should probably not date for a while.
I'm stealing this insult. "You deserve nothing from life!"
I’m a hairstylist. I had a client who came in and told me she had cancer and her hair was falling out seemingly overnight. It was weird because the hair didn’t look broken. It looked like there were lines where a pair of clippers had maybe cut into the hair. I obviously said nothing about it to her, but did tell her we could cut it into a cute pixie if she’d rather save what she wanted since she seemed so upset. Her friend was with her and told me everyone at their church thought my client was lying. After I cut the pixie cut, she left with her friend. I later told my boss how the hair didn’t look broken, but cut. It wasn’t really my business though. 2 hours later she called me and said she just wanted to shave it anyways because it would all fall out. She came back and I shaved the remaining hair. A few weeks later her daughter came in. I asked how her mother was doing and she looks at me MORTIFIED and says “Did my mom tell you she has cancer!? She doesn’t!”
Needless to say, I won’t call her out on it, but I’m always too booked to take her as a client anymore. My grandpa passed from cancer and my bosses mother-in-law lost all her hair from cancer and has battled it twice. It’s so beyond disrespectful to those who really are battling.
Not to excuse this lady but my friend's mom has dementia and tells people she has cancer and she's dying but it was her husband who died from cancer. Maybe something is off with that lady?
That’s crazy…I still can’t fathom why anyone would want to do that…is attention really worth the whole charade of cutting off your hair, medicines, bandages etc? Completely ignoring the fact that cancer is a dangerous disease that has killed millions
girl was this amanda riley 😭😭😭 google her name
@lexviolet LMAO not Scamanda 😂
Hate that this is even a thing! My daughter was diagnosed with cancer last year and the trauma that comes with it is insane. I will never understand people lying about having such a destructive diagnosis.
Oh god, after hearing about the mom, I can’t imagine how she must have felt finding out her daughter faked something she actually went through
THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO BE CANCELLED & PUT IN GITMO
It’s extra tragic because that does actually happen with hereditary cancers sometimes 😢 my stepmom was diagnosed with breast cancer after watching it kill her mother, and it adds an extra layer to the pain.

I personally know Jennifer and the hell Elizabeth put her through is unreal. Her ex had put her through so much and then she met someone seemingly amazing to just drag her again. Thank you for being so respectful and telling this story.
Do you know if she's doing okay now? I feel so sad for her, what she's gone through is just awful
Jennifer is incredibly brave. To go from one abusive partner to another and having the courage to confront and expose her is amazing.
This girl wrote and acted out her own fanfiction fr 💀
Right? What a nutcase
AHAHAHHA literally
As someone living with a chronic illness, hearing her say that 11:23 you should live with an illness in quiet dignity and ‘power through’ and basically ‘yes you can do it all, I did’ makes me feel sick. I can’t imagine reading that before the truth came out, it would have upset me so much, making me think I need to try harder because she’s managing, when the only thing she was working so hard at, was lying. People who make up illness get more help and support than people with illness, because they play as the ‘perfect sufferer’ showing just enough for sympathy without making people uncomfortable.
this is just what I was thinking, so damaging to people actually struggling with illness. :(
The issue is also with society for praising this behaviour. I don't know how many times I've heard able-bodied people praise disabled people for "powering through" or "never complaining". When I got ill I put a lot of pressure on myself to be like that when it was truly impossible and just made things worse.
I don't think people do it on purpose, but I do think it makes disability/illness easier for them to swallow/ignore if we are 'powering through' or 'never complaining' i.e. "acting normal"
Exactly, as someone that has 2 chronic illnesses lupus and RA . It’s sickening … because somedays “we “(ppl that are really struggling with illness)simply can’t power through our bodies won’t let us. I struggle with this because I don’t stop work,taking care of my family ,and house and eventually end up in bed for a couple of days suffering. So this is disgusting behavior.
@@joanieglenn0718 you make some great points. Even people with mental health issues can’t just “power through”. I can’t imagine going through that WITH an autoimmune disease or cancer. As if you don’t want to just get over it. Ugh this woman makes me so angry. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through.
YES!! It’s SICK!!! More than us 😅
I’m an ovarian cancer survivor, in remission since February. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer this past month. Cancer is hell, and lying about having it is just unfathomable to me and downright disgusting!!!
From a random internet person: I wish you and your family only good things. ❤
@@hly1226 thank you❤️❤️
congrats on remission and good luck to your momma!! wishing the best for both of you ❤️
I just feel compelled to apologise on the behalf of all decent people who genuinely care. I cannot begin to imagine the hurt this has caused.
Sheesh boring show
You’d think the brother could of sued her for slander or something, pretending he abused her then going to treatment for it? There’s got to be something there legally. Disgusting.
Sounds like she has some histrionic personality traits 😱
If she used her employment benefits fraudulently, that's, well, fraud.
since everyone knows she's a serial liar now, people are generally unlikely to believe the claims against him since she's the only source. if he was to lose work due to the slander then maybe he would have a case?
He probably wants the least amount of drama to do with her!
Slander maybe??
I can’t believe I’m about to write this but…. She managed to do SO MUCH WORSE than “just” fake cancer. Poor Jennifer, the absolute betrayal she must feel
Especially after everything she had already been through prior to meeting Elizabeth 💔
Yep, quite the strength she had to persevere, that's for sure. I can't imagine how hard it wld be to trust ppl after all that. Her poor kids!
Exactly. Everything else I could disregard as Elizabeth is probably mentally ill. Maybe even if her lying condition is treatable she could try to make amends with some people she lied to. But what she did to Jennifer is straightforward mean and harmful and I can't comprehend how could she take advantage of her story when she knew what Jennifer had went through. Also, what she said about her brother is kind of unforgivable but what she did to Jennifer just blows my mind.
Think of her brother. O.M.G.
And the mom too! Imagine your child lying about having to go through something you actually did
My experience of having cancer doesn’t feel like being “showered with love and attention.” A lot of people avoid you because the disease makes them uncomfortable. And the ones who do give you their attention… are the ones who love you the most, and you see their worry and distress. Not fun. What a weird way to get the focus on yourself.
Agreed. My family and friends are gutted that I am still fighting. They don't bring certain things up because they're afraid of hurting or triggering me. It makes things more difficult all around.
@@1poepoend50 sry I'm 5mo late. I somehow missed this ep. I hope & pray you are cancer free now- or ATLEAST that that's the 100% expected outcome & it won't be much longer that you have to keep fighting cancer.
Im 57yo &, miraculously, I've not had, nor bn personally touched by cancer (yet).
When I read your comment, one of my first thought was that I wondered if you've ever considered writing a book: One that covers everything you want it to- but also includes what TO & NOT to do in terms of how to best serve loved one's suffering & fighting cancer.
38yrs ago, I lost my 1st born child. Ever since then, I've thought I should write a book advising well-meaning loved one's on how to comfort & deal with a parent who's had to bury their own child bc there's no grief even remotely comparable. I'm a lil ashamed Ive not done so...even tho I still see the great need for such a book.
Anyway, Idk if it's God, but I felt the sudden, overwhelming feeling that you would be an EXCELLENT author for such a book- if that's even something you've ever considered doing when your feeling back to your healthy self.
NRN...again- I just felt compelled to share. Idky.
My partner had two close friends get married during that time. He was not invited to either wedding. The rest of his family were....but not him. I am still gutted for him just thinking about it.
@@Rose_Castleafter I got sick with a rare neurological condition, I started being uninvited to weddings and events. About 4 people have visited my house in the past (many) years. People treat you like a leper for sure. This woman deserves no peace 😠

This is INSANE, like as soon as I thought it couldn't get crazier it did. Reminds me of that lady who pretended to be in the 9/11 attacks and ran a large community group about it. I feel so awful for Jennifer from going from one horrible situation directly into that mess, and I hope she and her children are doing well.
That 911 story , as bad as it was, does not hold a candle to this bs.
@@jackies961you must not remember that 9/11 story then. Tania Head caused just as much distress, confusion, frustration and anger as this scumbag. It wasn’t a competition to begin with but in no world does that story not “hold a candle” to this one.

This episode reminds me so much of my ex-roommate. They used pieces of my history to create a traumatic backstory for themselves... would openly talk about my personal trauma that they'd overhear from my telehealth therapy sessions, as if it happened to them. They'd magically get "diagnosed" with any diseases friends would have. Just the most awful and frustrating and disgusting type of human to be around.
My ex stole my life story and got diagnosed with PTSD sand got a disability pension. I have PTSD and EDS and I can’t get the disability pension
not my roommate but a girl I knew in college did exactly this. All of what you've just said. It was terrifying and baffling and I think I'm still kinda traumatised from it, it really messed with my head. She switched her major to mine, so I couldn't escape her for years. I'm so sorry that you went through the same thing, it's scary to think how often it actually happens.
@@Zimzum93 My heart goes out to you. I also have EDS and trauma related disabilities. The people who make disability decisions are the most fickle and uncompassionate people on the planet. I hope you get the support you deserve! And I hope the people who did these horrible things disappear into obscurity.
my gfs friends partner did this to my gf. they took really specific things from my gfs past, changed the setting and claimed it as their own. really crazy
yes i knew someone in high school who would claim to have the craziest mental health disorders and illnesses and not so surprisingly was friends/dating the other person who faked physical diseases and disabilities. (we knew they were faking because people who went over to their house would talk to their parents and mention it and the parents had no idea what they were talking about)

I know! That just killed me. 😆 Build a bear glasses, way too small for your face?! Bahaha you're adorable.
That part made me laugh too lol

My cousin would tell awesome tales in elementary school like she had a twin and the real girl everyone knew was in France. Yeah she stole parent trap basically only there was only her and she was fooling kids. Or that she had an older brother that she never met because he was adopted and was Kirk Cameron 😭🤣😂
My cousin and I made up a rumour that our uncle worked for NASA and was going to the moon and we told everyone in our school 😅
I can’t believe she faked cancer after her own mother had it 🫤
Probably where she got the idea , after seeing how mom was handled
She probably felt like she didn't get enough attention from her knee surgery, so she conjured up something that would undoubtedly get her the kind of sympathy and attention she was looking for.
The only way to describe this woman is as a sociopath, because only a sociopath could behave this way
Maybe that's the reason. It all start with childhood and family
I feel so bad for Jennifer, going through so much and then getting conned again. :(
I hope she's doing better now.

This story is insane! My dad passed away from cancer in May of 2022. He fought until he couldn’t anymore it was very sad to see. Her lying about cancer is like a slap in the face to him and everyone else who is fighting the terrible disease.
I fully support you covering stories like this! Like you used to. You need a break from all the true crime sometimes and so do we! It's a win/win.
In my opinion, one who is actually living with a stage 4 very rare cancer that has been drug through hell and back this is a crime. Look at how many lives she affected. Look at her wife who was in treatment for abuse to deal with mental abuse. I believe in karma and hers is gonna be bad. 😢

imagine how awful her mom feels
I was in a group therapy and one of the girls (a grown ass adult as you put it) told us all she had cervical cancer. She'd miss sessions as she was getting 'treatment' and it columinated in her having to get a hysterectomy (or so we were told). My husband and I allowed her to stay with us for several weeks as her family lived in another state.
Years later I was scrolling through Facebook only to find photos of her pregnant and then with her baby and talking about how amazing it was to grow a human.
What hurts all the more is that my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 8 years.
It still shocks me that she just lied and manipulated us so easily. She'd even run from the therapy room to throw up.
So messed up.
Sorry for your pain, I tried for 7 years and then finely had one child so don't give up hope. I know the pain.
Does anyone else think Kendall is looking EXTRA beautiful lately??! Looking so good girl, and I love when you do stories like this too!

I'm sorry for your loss 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🤍🕊️
People like her demean and disparage those of us who actually feel ill from treatment, sick with actual symptoms, and need other people because we DON'T want to "power through" and do it alone. It's ridiculous, actually, because cancer and its treatments are no joke. You need love and support and compassion. I overcame cervical cancer via hysterectomy and was subsequently diagnosed with leukemia about 6 years ago. Friends and family know but otherwise I don't mention it as it is painful to think someone might think I'm lying. How messed up is that? How very cruel to pretend you have any clue what real cancer sufferers go through just because you want attention. It's simply revolting. Such behavior really should be treated criminally, especially because these stories are all too common these days.
i hope jennifer, elisabeth’s parents and everyone else involved are doing better today. what a shockingly terrible thing to do to so many people and for what????
Sympathy, attention and her career (like Kendall said)
It's one of "those things" that money can't buy, in a world where money rules everything! It's even more evident when things like this take place. It was all worth more than the value of money that she received from it all. Crazy world we live in.
hi guys the and for what is mostly a rhetorical question lol i understand why she did it
i feel so bad for Jennifer, that she would end up in the clutches of yet another awful person right after she'd escaped her marriage, some people just cant catch a break it seems
Abusers also are good at preying on people who have already been abused and are in a low mental state.
As someone who lives with a critical illness and works full-time, people like this disgust and unfortunately fascinate me. I have SO much internalized ableism which I've been trying to grapple with and then I come across stories like this. She's milking her made-up diagnosis and I'm just learning how to ask for accommodations at work. Yikes.
internalized ableism? that doesn't make sense
I hear what you're saying. It took me YEARS to come to terms with my disability/illnesses. I still feel like I have to hide it if at all possible, as well. (Although I'm getting better about it.)
It's so shocking to see people on the opposite end of the spectrum!! 😟
They use others' empathy as a weapon... it's so insidious.
@lastsaint7778Internalized ablelism is when you take in society's ablelist attitudes and you turn them inwards. So like, the case for me was "trying not to be a bother" for those around me. Or constantly feeling guilty about being sick because "I'm not that sick" since my symptoms were not visible to those around. I have multiple sclerosis, and most of my symptoms are related to fatigue and chronic pain. I thought that since I'm not "visibly physically disabled" that I had no right to be as upset or feel as sick as I did.
It's complicated, lol.
@@lastsaint7778it’s real I definitely had this when I was kid and I got sick. It’s like you feel ashamed of being sick and needing help.
I feel like stories like this just make me more paranoid about being seen as "faking it" when i have to back out of things or miss work for pain/health issues....like its just a struggle to take one of the two personal days i get a year for this even if it makes me feel worse overall and then you learn about someone exploiting illness this way and worry about being lumped in with them. Hell, I even start questioning myself if I "really" need it! Its the worst.
The worst part about people who fake it is that they always make themselves seem better than actual patients. They act like they are so strong and do things other people can’t do (like living alone and continuing to work). Absolutely abhorrent behavior.
They can take the sympathy but escape the ableism...
I’m 27, I lost my mother to metastatic breast cancer that spread to her bones, and liver a couple weeks ago. This absolutely disgusts me. It take immense strength to fight cancer. This woman is absolutely pathetic and a disgrace. There’s a special place in hell for people like this.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry Taylor ❤
I’m sorry for your loss 🤍 I lost my mom to ovarian cancer last year a month before I gave birth to my first and her first grandchild
Sending love and peace through your loss❤❤❤
@@omgitsmonikuh I’m so sorry that must have been so hard 💔 there’s nothing a daughter wants more than her mom through pregnancy and birth. Stay strong mama 💪🏼❤️
My favourite thing about this story is that she claimed to need a “double kidney transplant” but could apparently only manage to get one… when they do kidney transplants not only do they only ever do one kidney, but they also leave the failing kidneys there so if she really had a kidney transplant she’d actually have 3 kidneys! 😂
I didn't know that it makes sense.
“I’m sorry I’m allergic to bullshit” …that sums it up. 🤣🤣🤣
I actually had an experience like this with a colleague who I became friends with. I was always a bit suspect of her, she started saying things that were implausible but not IMPOSSIBLE but her stories got wilder and wilder. Eventually she had a "leaving party" because she was apparently travelling overseas for medical care (part of her story included a rare illness of course) and I ended up talking to her cousin there who basically said one thing that confirmed it was all an elaborate fantasy. I think there are a LOT of these people out there.
Wow. What was the thing she told you that made you realize? What ended up happening?
I have a coworker like this and she joked about being in the Boston b*mbing. It’s disgusting
On a slightly similar vein I used to be friends with a woman who was so annoyed by all the attention her husband received from family when he had an operation, that she pretended for a day that she might have an ectopic pregnancy.
(I think she had seen someone else go through this and had filed the details away in her mind to be used at a later date.)
It was shocking to hear her calmly describe how she waited for her period to arrive then called herself an ambulance, saying they had been trying for a baby and she thought she might be pregnant..
It didn't take long for the hospital to kick her out, but it was long enough that she got the spot light on herself.
Some people.
by people you mean women
I believe myself to be a very strong woman. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I didn’t want to burden my parents, yet them being beside me during treatment made a lot of difference. the narrative that she is a strong woman that is going to work through treatment doesn’t necessarily make her a martyr even if she did in reality have cancer. It is shocking to me that people around her did not know. The side effect of chemotherapy and the weakness experienced with it makes it impossible for any person to go through it completely alone. You need at least somebody to drive you to and from, the hospital after Each treatment. I was able to work through radiation, but only part time with limited capacity. I return to work not because I had to, but because it gave me a sense of self. It also assured my children that I was feeling better. I’ve been cancer free for over 15 years yet. This story triggered a lot of emotions in me. I couldn’t stay silent.
It's so unfair to people who are barely making it through the day due to illness or whatever reason. I have always hated the phrase that someone has it worse because I feel like there's no way to judge something you've never been through yourself. Yet here she is powering through something impossible and spreading the message that anything is possible if you want it bad enough which just isn't the case. At least it hasn't been in my own experience dealing with a chronic disease.
ditto x 100
Can’t believe that Jennifer’s therapist took Elizabeth on as a client, too! It is unethical for a therapist to take on a client that is a family member or friend of a client they already have. It’s highly frowned upon.
I have chronic health issues stemming from a degenerative genetic condition, and had attempted to start a YT channel in order to create a community of support for similar issues. I was immediately accused of faking, and have never had the courage to try again. COVID only made the sense of social isolation worse, and people like elizabeth make it so much harder to try again either socializing or creating community.
Please consider giving it another go. You could do an episode that explains why you’re not faking it and add that link to such shortsighted comments.
I wish you well.
Honestly it is surprising how little Elisabeth was suspected of faking it, considering how actually sick people are constantly told they’re faking it. I guess it’s easier to shrug it off when you really are lying? I dunno.
Yes! I was going to point this out. People like her can make it hard for genuine cancer survivors and others, because people can think you're faking.
I feel awful for Jennifer and her kids. I hope they all find happiness and peace.
OMG! I commented about this situation months ago and then was encouraged to send a request form. I have no idea if Kendall actually saw it but I’m so excited to hear her talk about this case, it’s bonkers.
This hits especially close to home because my mom actually had chondrosarcoma when she was in her 30’s. I remember her surgery and physical therapy, how she balanced being an amazing mom and her treatments. Now she’s kicking ass in her career and still an amazing mom.
I'm glad your mom fought the fight and you still have in your life idk what I would if I lost my mom and I'm glad she's doing so great now I hope you two have many more wonderful years together
I am so happy to hear that your mother’s story with battling cancer has a happy ending! 💗 What an incredibly strong and courageous mother you have and I am so happy to hear that she is living her best life and that have the gift of her still being here to be apart of your life. 💞 I wish your family, mother, and you all the best.
Thank you for sharing this. I do not have cancer but I have a serious illness and I am always so scared I will devolve into a bad mother. It makes me so glad to hear a story of a mother who was able to balance both and even thrive in her own ways. I hope I am good enough to give my daughter a life like your mom did. I'm inspired 💖
so glad to know she’s doing well, wishing you and your whole family all the best :)
I knew a woman who did this! She made up having lupus, and then they 'found cancer'. Her husband would pick her up and drop her off but wasn't allowed to go into appointments. Almost all of her fb posts were about how confounded her Dr's were at her ability to keep living through rare and advanced diseases. 'Might not make it to Thanksgiving' and then a month later 'this could be my last Christmas'. Eventually, the truth came out when someone confronted her about where the $ from her charity/walkathon was going, and she took her own life. Very, very sad.
Very important story to share!!! I think all the people calling her vile and evil forget that these people could be (and almost always are) suffering with severe, tumultuous mental illness. She was very very sick, and that's part of the DUAL tragedy of cases like this, where a victim is also a victimiser.
@@crissy4445No
We probably all have a person like this in our lives.
Catherine in the show still has the cancer too. The show is still going and the character still has symptoms. Surprised they haven’t “cured” her of it or something to retcon the issue.
I hope they do
@@karamelfan her cancer is back as per the last time they talked about it . I remember Catherine telling Richard that it is growing again and back !
I sure hope she survives Richard has lost every women he loves !!!
Her articles about herself are self aggrandising. They're all about how smart and strong and brave she is and how impressed people are by her.
Wow. I feel so bad for Elizabeth's family and I am so glad that Jennifer survived an abusive marriage and got herself out of a toxic situation with Elizabeth. Just finished the Scamanda podcast. She was even worse than Elizabeth. The damage these people do to true victims is awful.
I think it’s particularly gross that she almost glamorized/normalized work over health. Yes do what you love but working herself to “death” should not be something people admired ro the point of writing a piece about it in Elle and Grey’s hiring her…if that’s what it takes to be a “valued employee” I don’t want it! 😅
same, i don't get these people. idk if its an american thing to admire this kind of stuff but i certainly wouldnt admire someone going through something so debilitating while refusing ALL help and working FULL TIME. i would think theyre being dumb (or that theyre faking).
@@hattarapilviIt’s definitely an American thing. Workaholism is praised and if you’re not breaking your back like everyone else, you’ll often be resented for it even though none of us should have to be especially for corporations that’ll replace you in a minute. It’s a confusing and stressful culture to grow up in yet no one understands why people don’t wanna work or participate in society anymore, the older generations just accepted it
@@hp6964 It’s definitely not an American thing. I have friends from Japan, South Korea and sundial who gave similar stories. It’s more common than you think.
Her statement at the end about how lying was her coping mechanism really annoys me. What she did was abuse people, and I know hurt people hurt people, but that's a different level of accountability than someone who self-harms. It didn't sound - to me - like she was taking that accountability.
Stories like these always strike me as a odd. Being someone who suffered with a disabling illness while working full-time, I have to say that I rarely was shown as much sympathy as this woman seemed to get. I don't think my experience was unique, either. I think its a natural human resonse to be skeptical of anyone claiming special treatment in the workplace, but it felt draining to always be questioned about it. I just don't understand why anyone would ever want to go through the experience of pretending to be a burden.
Accurate
Ps, you are not a burden. And neither is anyone else who is sick. The illness may be burdensome to those involved, but you are NOT your illness💙
I completely understand this. A few years ago in my support group there was someone who kept lying and prying and trying to get details on Sjögrens, like trying to take the stories from people who shared and thought she was just trying to get diagnosed and struggling…as it turns out, she was completely lying and just spinning the details we all shared to pretend she had this disease and it was so disturbing to me that someone wanted to pretend to feel and suffer the way we do every day. I was so shook afterward, I stopped being active in the group and felt kind of violated tbh.
yeah, it's very weird how fakers seem to get a lot of help and actual disabled people get treated like shit.
I didn’t know there was a world where people could miss work and not provide Dr notes.
It's extremely comforting to hear your stories from your childhood. Thanks for sharing, it's important to be able to hold ourselves accountable and reflect on things like that.
I know for a fact I developed a British accent out of no where in 2nd grade, and it magically disappeared weeks later haha.
my grandpa passed from sarcoma in 2021... that exact type. so cool of her to take that as a personality trait. sooo quirky. /s he couldn't walk, eat properly or breathe properly. it happened really quickly, we found out a month after he was hospitalized, after his autopsy, actually.
I'm disabled and there are some crazy people in the support groups who love to talk big about how they're able to be mobile and go work because they are just so strong. I'm bedbound but used to be mobile with the same condition. It's such a harmful narrative and invalidates others to say that it is about personality. I am still fighting to work and to survive but my personality has nothing to do with my mobility. I feel like some people like the attention but they also love the comparison that they are better than other disabled people who are so "weak" that they stay in bed.
I have multiple chronic disabilities, I had major brain surgery two years ago and I still work full time because I have no other option, but is not peaches and cream. I don’t believe to anybody that says they work the same way after being chronically disabled. I’ve had to fight for accommodations, because is not that easy to get them even when is the law. The trauma that comes from the constant fight and also the fear of not being able to fulfill some task and that being used against you as an undue hardship. Having to work through the bad days, nobody is happy and giggly running to the bathroom to vomit or working with a migraine or other pain, etc. I feel these people that brag about not having any effects in their career, or even more claim is because they are strong, are making a disservice to the disabled community, because they create unrealistic expectations. I understand each disability is different, but I find it so hard to believe and I try to not allow it to make me feel bad about myself and how much my illness impacts my life, but is hard.
@@lhr8833 yeah, I still work and it's super hard. I've had to change the way I work. But still, I recognize that some people literally cannot work based on symptoms. A few of my friends have ME/CFS so bad that they're just clinging on to life in bed. I recognize that my career path and my current abilities still give me a window even though it's tough. I have no other option but to work too. I also make sure I only surround myself with empathetic people. Especially people who if they are mobile now were once bedbound. Because they know how quickly some external factor can take us down and know that it has nothing to do with a can-do attitude
Someone in the comments here said they are a hairdresser and someone came in saying they had cancer and that the hair was falling out. She didn't find that the hair looked broken, it looked like it was cut. Eventually, the client asked for the hair to be shaved off as it was going to fall out anyway. Some time later, the daughter came in and she enquired about the mom's health. The daughter was mortified - said that it wasn't true that the mom had cancer. 🤦♂
So I dunno if the people in the support groups are vetted i.e. they really have what they claim to have. But maybe you should keep in the back of your mind that they are a lot of fakers out there.
I remember back in school, my version of study was to cram a few days before. But I never pulled any all-nighters. Everyone else always seemed to boast that they stayed up until 2am and all sorts of crazy hours studying. I felt bad that I didn't do any of those things (but did well on exams anyway). I wonder now, how many of those feats of achievement were actually true? 🤔🤣
@@markusgorelli5278I definitely finished in a specialized high school and engineering school doing all nighters, but I wasn’t proud about it, was just a product of my chronic procrastination. A decade later was diagnosed ADHD and made sense. If you had the discipline and brain function to study on time and not having to lose your nights, you should be the happy one about not needing that. People bragging about that are the same that in the work are always bragging of all the over-time they do, for me that just means they are bad managing their tasks or their manager is bad distributing work load.
Is this not an emotional abuse law suit for her co workers ? Seems like a lawyer would take this to civil litigation
Surely all the accommodations and extra time they gave her would count for something, right?
Hmm
A big show like that probably doesn't want any bad press
@@Hallmark44 The litigation to get all that back would be too head-achey. It would be easier to cut their losses. But I wonder if she won't be quietly blacklisted from the industry. 🤷♂
The money they’d make from shondaland in a settlement I could see an attny taking it on contingency
I am so sad for Jennifer. She had so much trauma from her first marriage before this mess. I hope she found a wonderful partner
Thanks for the trigger warning Kendall! I’ve lost a couple of loved ones to cancer so I couldn’t move forward watching. I knew this story would anger me if I moved forward. Absolutely despicable that anyone would fake this horrible disease.
Many have lost loved ones to cancer. It is angering yes, but triggering ?
Does America actually need “trigger” warnings ? Have they all turned into a bunch of saps?
@@waveafterwave0723Watching someone die from a horrible disease can definitely cause trauma and become triggering. And no America isn't a bunch of babies, we just care about mental health. I'm from Poland and I know so many depressed people there that get no help from doctors and get told to toughen up.
@@waveafterwave0723girl, it’s not that deep. It’s a good thing to give people warnings about something that could be upsetting to them. Not everyone in America is a “baby,” some of us just have empathy for those different than ourselves.
@@waveafterwave0723Jesus Christ imagine calling someone a "sap" for not being able to listen to a faked cancer story? Have some sympathy my god, probably lost a close person to cancer and i can see it bringing up lots of heartbreak? Wow
@@waveafterwave0723 OH GROW UP. Are you the person saying that it's triggering to her? Don't try and put others valid feelings down just because you think the whole world revolves around you. It doesn't.
Love story time. Yes Im a huge true crime follower but you definitely should mix in these types of stories
Love that you covered this. I couldn’t believe it when I first heard about it. That someone could be so evil. And the interview she gave after it all came out is a WILD read. She doesn’t sound remorseful, she sounds like she’s doing a whole “woe is me” song and dance, talking about how she lost everything and why is it such a big deal and making headlines lmao
It’s wild to hear about all the things that she lied about in her actual life that coincide with Grey’s Anatomy. There were so many times watching this that I said aloud “well that was an episode.” “That’s literally Izzy.” It has me wanting to go and look up what episode she wrote for 🙃
Well Izzie was last seen in season 6 (I don’t count season 16) which aired in 2010, and Elisabeth worked on this show from 2014, but there is a character of Catherine Fox and Elisabeth wrote the episodes with a cancer diagnosis for this character
I’m curious too 👀 I bet it would be some episodes I was left thinking the same thing afterwards lol.
@@seohheyou don’t think maybe the person hired to write for Grey’s Anatomy would have seen the entire show including earlier episodes?
There is a "special" place in hell for these people who fake illness (this person, Scamanda, etc) and take advantage of others' sympathies. The worst part of the offense is that they make people skeptical of those who are truly suffering from illness like cancer. SHAME!!
The story line with Jo's coming to be really killed me cause it followed so closely to mine. My mom didn't technically give me up for adoption, but I did have an adoptive family and I'd go back and forth between their house and my moms. I was really depressed for months after watching this episode.
I’ve been taking a break from true crime for the past couple of years and I have missed you and your videos. I’m so glad I get to catch this one. I’m sure a lot of us would be happy if you did stories like this every now and again!
This was a nice break from the heavier true crime stories which are necessary and important but can take a toll mentally. Great story telling as always and I hope we can get some more videos like this in the future.
Professional compulsive liars are always so interesting to me. How do you keep this up?! This is so weirddddd
I’m a cancer survivor. It’s really a terrible thing she did. I’m just glad she didn’t take donations and such. That would have made it so much worse.
At least then she would have suffered legal consequences!!! She got off Scott free! I mean other than tarnishing her reputation and ending her marriage nothing bad happened to her and it's super frustrating.
I love true crime, but I definitely need breaks from it sometimes. Stories like these are so frustrating but very interesting. I would love to see more content like this
this is so insane, she actually brought her brother into it in such a nasty way. stories like this really make it seem impossible to trust new people
I lost my dad to cancer in January this year. I have been saving this video for when I felt emotionally ready to be furious with someone for faking it.
People always seem so shocked to hear stories like this but I've lived this kind of thing. A former friend has been lying about having heart cancer for over a decade, AND lied about a dead brother in order to guilt a round trip plane ticket out of an ex. It was wild.
I like to hear more stories like these vs true crime. The true crime stories can get really dark and although this story had twists and turns, no one was killed; making these my favorite types of videos to watch
Totally agree! I find them more interesting and slightly less heavy
@@springy9959 yes! I find true crime hard to watch at times because it’s already so much negativity going on in the world. Stories like this are a nice break
I lost my father and grandfather when I was 10 years old for cancer, yes they died 3 months apart from each other. This ruined my family and I am still dealing with the trauma of loss and seeing them slowly fading. This case just makes me furious.
The fact that my sister is a full grown 44 year old adult doing this right now🤦🏽♀️ I had to stop contact with her bc it’s so draining
Just out of curiosity, how are you sure that she is lying?
Oh my.
Maybe you should suggest a therapist to her before it blows up
I was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma when I turned 18. Thankfully, it was caught at stage 1, and I only had to have a scapulectomy (removal of my shoulder blade) to treat it. It sucked, and my left arm is still not great in terms of strength or function. I am celebrating my 10 year cancer free anniversary on Nov 5th.
I had a feeling she was going to claim she had chondrosarcoma when you mentioned "rare bone cancer." People can really suck.
From one 18 year old Chondrosarcoma diagnosis to another, I'm so sorry you had to go through it but I'm SO PROUD of you 🤗
I can only imagine how much more painful it is for you to hear that Elizabeth was faking your illness. She takes away from people are actually struggling with illness.
Happy 10th anniversary! Glad you're still here
Kendall, I’m studying for my first law school midterm right now and I am BEYOND overwhelmed 😣 Your videos always help me take a breather and relax between study sessions. Thank you for all the effort you put into your content, your channel really is a safe space for us ♥️♥️😚
You got this!!! Best of luck 💙💙💙
GOODLUCK!!! 🥳
I'm 8.5 months pregnant and I'm just now starting to want a break from true crime. I never thought I'd need a break. Thank for the story!
My sister loved Grey's Anatomy and she lost her battle with cancer (stage 4 sarcoma, yep) at 32 years old. So yeah, I'm especially angry with this story. 😤 😡 Oh, I also live in Pittsburgh.
It always winds me up and pisses me off when people fake having cancer. My mum died from brain cancer and suffered three terrible years with it. The fact that people fake having cancer is disgusting.
I am so sorry for your loss 😕
Sorry for your loss. ❤🙏🏻
I have zero compassion for people like Elisabeth that fake a serious disease like cancer. My Grandma fought breast cancer for over twenty years and the treatments she endured were extremely debilitating at times. Scams like this also divert attention and potentially lifesaving financial resources away from those that genuinely need them. Thank you Kendall for bringing this case to our attention.
You should voice audiobooks! I loved the way you read those bits of her article. But this case is so frustrating. My boyfriend is a cancer survivor and I’ve seen the toll it’s taken on him and the struggles he still has 7 years later and the idea that he just wasn’t “tough enough” or “independent enough” to be able to work and do chemo at the same time is just a terrible narrative
I know its insensitive to write on true crime videos about other things but wow you look so good, ive had two babies myself in the last few years and after holly you still glowing and looking amazing.... so now ill actually start the video so now i will concentrate on the story xxx
Kendall looks GLOWING AND STUNNING
It is actually quite common, not to fake cancer but "romanticize" it in a way. Those who dont have it usually make a lot of noise about worrying about having it and those who have it keep a lot to themselves.
I’ve heard of people faking having cancer just to end up to actually have cancer later on smh
Karma
I expected the Izzy cancer story line to be the one that "reflected" or was "inspired by" Elizabeth when i started this epoosode. This was much more convoluted.
Did none of her employers ask for a doctor’s note?!
This is my first video of yours and I liked it. I get why people like True crime stories, but sometimes I can't handle that, and you are an excellent story teller and I enjoyed hearing about this woman being called out. As a new viewer, I hope you make a few more like this in the future if you want! I'll be here to listen.
People like Elizabeth make me sick the fact that she can fake something as serious as cancer is crazy she clearly not only did this to launch her career but obviously for attention as well
My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer when I was just 12. Within a year, she was gone. I watched her wither away into nothing, and despite the trauma, I consider myself lucky to be there for her final breaths.
These people need to be prosecuted under the full extent of the law. There are people in prison for having a joint when these heartless motherfuckers usually walk free. I'm sick of it. Impersonating an ill person should be a CRIME.
My mum passed from cancer in May. And although she was incredibly strong willed and a fighter, I can’t honestly say she just ‘powered through chemo and got back to life after’. It doesn’t work like that. Well at least not for my mum. It took away a lot of her and she wasn’t ever the same after the first treatments.
LOL when the greys anatomy behind the scene is juicier than the actual show.
Poor Jennifer moving fromone abusive partner to another hope she’s fine now❤️
As someone who has had their entire life turned upside down by a compulsive liar I’m glad stories like this are being brought to light.
Jesus christ as an SA survivor this fucking grinds my gears, she couldn't have just one sympathetic back story she wanted THEM ALL.
I enjoyed this story and am baffled that nobody caught on sooner. Faking an illness is a slap in the face to those legit going through it.
Today 10 years ago, My beloved granny passed away from Colon Cancer. I have to say it’s pretty ironic I’m seeing this particular story today. Thanks for making my day better Kendall.❤❤
I love that you have made it a point to keep a space for your kitty in the background! Such a beautiful and sweet cat! Another amazing story, thanks for all you do! ❤
There needs to be consequences for people who do this. Brother should be able to sue for defamation.
