Trainwreck Raven Sparks / Diana Bradley - Globe-trotting gothic grandma, married a child, abandoned her kid, serial pet-murderer

[MirnaMinkoff]

Shhhhhhhhhhh. I neglected to mention that one months ago due to the reason I didn't want them to know about it if that wasn't their grift already.

Don’t worry Raven would have known all about the gibs in Michigan years ago. Her entire job the last three years has been to abuse Medicaid trying to build a medical record to apply for SS over and over until the govt gives her $850 a month and HUD. She might have have been asked to leave the garage or declared she was homeless to get bumped up the line for various aid /housing programs

Her leaving NZ for Josh is still one of the funniest things. She could have been a very comfortable welfare leech in NZ, but it lacked Wal-Mart priced plastic and a man to validate her. When Josh eventually bails she will go “visit” Dorian and then latch on and dig in. I’m assuming she still has some sort of PR status after marrying two kiwis. NZ gives a much better standard of living to their lazy work shy residents than the USA.

Mmm I'll have to check which way Michigan leans. Ffs. I have zero illustrations or interests. But it's not as easy as people think it is. Maybe in the 90's you could skate on in with some fauxbrymyalgia. But I know someone who lost an orange sized chunk of brain and it took 6 years. 6 fucking years. They got a 200$ stipend in the meantime that they had to pay back. Fucking brain damage.

Silly bitch was mad about the pizzas being small. But she had a free house and food! For her child bride and her incest teen and whatever other prey she had sucked in.

It takes time, esp if you have nothing really wrong but “muh mentals” but that’s why she’s building a big medical file. Legitimate people can have a tough time navigating the system, but it’s a fucking generational tradition and scam in white trash America. Getting a nut check is a time honored rite of passage in poor parts of America and they all exchange tips and advice on what works, esp when it comes to what doctors to use, what symptoms to claim, etc...

It’s sort of similar to how traffickers had more success getting asylum claims for people they smuggled to the USA than legit asylum seekers. The traffickers know the system and what needs to be said to get the green light. For fifteen years Chinese smugglers sold the “persecuted Christian” script to paying customers and it worked like a charm.

Raven and Josh are still in Michigan, still living where they have been living.

The job situation has been hard for Josh.

Raven is in school but she didn't say what for, it hasn't been going well, they have been putting her in the wrong classes.

Other than reviews Raven isn't really interested in making videos anymore, she's not interested in drama. She says she hardly gets views anymore so it's not worth her time and effort to make videos.

Raven still enjoys thrifting and dumpster diving, she collects Squishmallows. She has lost weight and is down to 160lbs. She showed off her body outside because her living space was apparently too cluttered from all the thrifting and Josh leaving towels and clothes everywhere.





She also uploaded a new channel trailer, but it was mostly the same thing, other than her defending her right to be a 48 year old goth.

What a hideous, awful dress. It wouldn’t be at all flattering on a 115 lb body, but it’s far worse on a 160 lbs. body.

Raven must have be accustomed to being morbidly obese to think this is a banging bod she needs to show off in a $10 Party City polyester biker chick dress and wig.

The problem isn’t her weight, it’s just all so fucking tacky and cheap. She’s spends hours every week thrifting. It would be extremely easy to not look like a geriatric lot lizard. I get some teenagers dressing like this, because they are exploring styles, rebeling and usually have awful taste. But there’s really no excuse for a grown ass woman to dress like this unless she’s charging $40 for blowjobs at Sturgis.

I haven’t kept up much with Raven but did she elaborate why the job situation was “hard” for Josh? From what I remember he’s a healthy man in his late 20’s / early 30’s so there should be nothing stopping him taking up some manual labour job or something like that.

Work is "hard" for Josh because the only thing he can do is construction (seasonal in Michigan) or minimum wage retail - and he needs to piss clean for those jobs.

Raven can't work anywhere front facing due to her self inflicted appearance; maybe as a tattoo shop receptionist (which she has failed at before because she's a flaky, dumb, drama queen.) She's too fat and psycho to hold down a warehouse job, and she probably can't piss clean either.

 

[Toasty]

There's also the lack of any desire to work. Diana probably gets nervous about Josh having any type of job around other people as it will allow him to socialize with people other than herself.

She didn't say, she just said the job situation had been hard for Josh and he probably wouldn't want to talk about it. As far as I can remember the job situation has been hard for Josh as long as they have been there. Josh probably can't hold down a job, which is why I thought it was strange that Raven decided to go to school if they're struggling financially, then again she has never made the best choices. I don't think her friend is ever getting their garage back.

 

[Barbarella]

. I don't think her friend is ever getting their garage back.

By the brief glimpse we got when she knocked her camera over, that friend is going to have a major job if Raven ever does leave. She’s living in a hoard with no bathroom, and still dumpster dives and thrifts for tat to keep filling it up. She’ll have to get the excavator out to clean up the mountains of filthy stuffed animals, squishmallows, plastic bats, spiders and piles of mildewed clothing.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. I hope Dorian has a plan for the day Mother Monster wants to go back to New Zealand. He will have to create a containment zone somehow.

Josh received the tragic dual diagnosis of laziness on top of stupidity.

Keeping a job has proven hard, if not insurmountable, for Josh his entire adult life. This will never change.

All the same Raven thinks she’s scored by landing a guy like Josh, which says a lot. I think her only requirement for a man is he thinks her goth style is badass, tells her she’s hot and …that’s about it I think. She doesn’t seem to have any minimum standards on hygiene, employment, intelligence, age, ambition….oh oh porn. Absolutely no porn. Raven might not care if her husband ever works or bathes or is sober, but he better never ever look at another women’s boobs and vagne.

Because states pay for welfare cases to go to school, sometimes they have to go to keep receive benefits. Ask Misty Henry, owner of five or six useless certificates the state of Indians funded her to get. The hope is the certificates lead to actual jobs, but usually just more “training programs” so they can stay on welfare.

Raven just wants the govt to stfu and give her SSI. I think it’s her entire goal and will ensure Josh stays by her side.

It’s just amazing that she’s trying to subsist in a Michigan garage with the ultimate goal of surviving off welfare because she left NZ and it’s insanely cushy social safety net and free healthcare. Not that Raven thinks anything through, but Josh moving to NZ to marry Raven and live the leech life would have been the smart move. There’s no welfare apt in NZ that could be as bad as a garage in Michigan.

Raven snagging a retarded Kiwi goth pervert into marrying her years ago was her golden ticket and she blew it. (Also kiwi’s are ridiculously nice, naive and trusting people, basically ideal dupes for a BPD Raven. A country full of perfect victims for an emotions vampire like Raven to feast upon, plus free healthcare, guaranteed housing and cash dole, and she left it.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. I hope Dorian has a plan for the day Mother Monster wants to go back to New Zealand. He will have to create a containment zone somehow.

Raven will definitely try to return to NZ if she smells the opportunity. I have no idea what her status would be, but hopefully if she just got residency via marriage she can’t import Josh. But if Josh takes leaves Raven will doing her level best for a plane ticket to NZ to see her dear son and then never leave.

I honestly can't believe that she was ever dumb enough to come back to the US knowing that she was completely workshy. The terminally unemployed can at least survive in NZ. Can you even imagine any where in the US where 3 adults on welfare, non disabled, but unemployed, somehow have a home and food money? One working who happens to be 19 and "married" to the unemployed 40 year old woman drawing benefits and likewise supporting her 16 year old son who is also drawing benefits.
Run back to socialism Didi. Nobody likes you.

I dunno, looking at the grifting thread on here some may well believe the grass is greener and they can and do grift their way through life.

Hey guys, sorry to necro the thread but I am currently rewriting the OP because her story has concluded for awhile, and it's one of the craziest stories of the Kiwi Farms to this this day, but I desperately need help with several archived videos.

I need the videos surrounding Ally

1. Raven showing off Ally and that she is going to adopt her
2. The fallout of kicking Ally out

She also has a backlog of videos on surrounding context with her timeline, I only found videos with Josh, her baby rats, and some videos with Logan.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Since this thread got bumped I checked in on Raven’s YT. Latest update was a month ago she got an “early birthday present” which was another face tattoo. A spider in a web on one side of her face. White web extends to mid cheek. Good to see Raven’s priorities haven’t changed.

I did realize something about her neck tattoos. She got them as a way to hide a double chin and jowls, like permanent Chantal chin spanx. The tattoos create a dramatic black contour line for her chin.

LOL I know a guy that did this, at first he just did the goth painting the neck strategically thing, then he tattooed all his chins except the top one, said he did it because this has been his style for so long.
It works for the most part in filtered pictures, but in person it’s hard not to stare at and impossible to take seriously.
“I’m still a goth pretty boy and have a Chad jawline, not a doughy man in his 40’s with a desk job body”.

Makes perfect sense Raven would be of that mindset too.

 

[Barbarella]

I just checked to, and she had a video posted in April of her opening an anniversary gift. It was a cat backpack. Even though she still only uses vertical mode on her camera, you can tell she’s living in a hoard.

 

[Shay Van Buren]

I believe her videos were frequently reposted at lolcow farms. There might be some in the thread archives. I'll check the archives when I can if someone doesn't get to it before I do.

I already tried, all the Download Mirrors are on outdated software, and archve.org does have a few, but they're mainly about Josh.

 

[Dirty Bird]

There has been a Raven update, she posted a video on her YouTube channel. I haven't been able to watch the whole thing yet or do any archiving as I'm on a work break. I am hoping someone is able to archive it. But it's basically about how she's got beef with one of the roommates in the Michigan home. It sheds a lot of light on her living situation and roommates as well.

She is still residing in the garage of the person who took her in.

She says the person that took her and Josh in is a man she has known for 15 to 20 years. The man is in a relationship with an older physically disabled woman, 65 or 66.

This older disabled woman has taken issue with Raven. Raven mentions how she and Josh do favors for the couple since they let them stay there. Raven also mentions how her and Josh take turns to do dishes. They also take turns to do dishes in their place downstairs (the garage), but she mentioned how it had been Josh's turn for a while, and there have been moldy dishes sitting there for a year. She got upset when she saw Josh upstairs doing what she thought was the dishes for the disabled woman. In my opinion it does make kind of sense that Josh would be doing favors for the people (even though he is lacking in his own livingspace) since they're letting then stay with them.

I don't know how old the male friend is, but I'm wondering if he is the same age as the disabled girlfriend. I wish I could do a proper recap on this, but I have to go back to work soon. It's basically some goth drama, assuming the disabled roommate is also goth.

The moldy dishes thing caught my attention, she said that if she tries to go do the dishes Josh intervenes and tells her not to do it because it's his turn, but he just then goes and plays video games. But it got out of hand that it's been a year it seems.

It sounds like the roommate is probably like how she is, but I'm curious the roommates side of the story.

I'm surprised Raven is still on speaking terms with Josh or hasn't given him some kind of ultimatum like she did with his family, because apparently he and the disabled roommate get along pretty well.
