If we needed more evidence that the Bank of Grandma has ceased operations, this is as good as any. Chantal became increasingly agitated after Grandma went into the hospital, and just before she was released into her mom's care. I suspected at the time that a responsible adult (probably her mom) caught on to just how much Chantal was leeching off the old lady, and shut it down.
I don't know how much she was raking off Grandma, but losing that, on top of her declining YouTube views, meant she had to scramble to find some other means of support. I don't recall her ever mentioning Only Fans until after it became clear Grandma isn't going back home, and things aren't going back to the way they were.
I wonder if her mom has kept sweet so as not to stir up drama in the family, given that her own old, sick mom has clearly favored Chantal. Plus, she probably feels a certain amount of guilt at Chantal ending up as she has.
But deaths tend to bring tamped-down anger and conflict boiling to the surface, so it'll be interesting to see what happens once Grandma passes. Her mom was clearly at her wits' end, and most definitely not proud of her useless behemoth of a daughter, during that early-morning livestream at her uncle's house.
That's what happens when you spend at least a decade wearing clothes with too-small waistbands.
I think it's going to happen a lot sooner than that, assuming she's even still alive to see it happen. I see her channel holding on for another two, maybe three, years before YouTube pulls the plug on her. If she's lucky, she'll be dead before then.
With as many serious health conditions as she has, I think she'll be one of those who dies quickly--she'll have some sort of crisis she can't recover from, and be gone within a month, despite all interventions.
It could be something quick--slipping into a diabetic coma and dying before James thinks to check in on her, or maybe an aneurysm, or a massive heart attack. But I would not be shocked if it turned out to be colon cancer, left undiagnosed until too late; the GI symptoms she keeps describing are consistent with that.
It just occurred to me, while looking at this image, that she's using the standing ringlight her stepdad bought her so she could do better try-on videos (somebody else mentioned this fact yesterday, or maybe the day before).
I wonder what Stepdaddy would make of the use she's actually put it to, LOL.
