This reminds me of that movie character, Keyser Sose (Kevin Spacey) in The Usual Suspects - not that Chantal's viewing spectrum would be in that league, I imagine - but for a long time I've had the notion that she does exactly what that character did and be an ever-talking conduit of lies and confusion, taking in data through the eyes and verbally dumping it out of her mouth in a torrent of words almost continually. I suppose on the premise that something's gotta stick to the wall of her rebellious followers somehow?. However, even they don't seem to be buying her more ludicrous bullshitting these days.
Poorly expressed, I know, but she bombastically blasts the
Universe internet with verbal diarrhea all the while carefully watching what is accepted and what is not. She's not that skillful at it though, even though she's probably been doing this since early childhood, and often gets caught out because... video, duh. but it doesn't stop her doing it. Pathological maybe? I don't really care but for some odd reason she thinks she's clever, fooling us all.
I am inclined to believe that certain (sordid) parts of her story is true regarding The Egyptian Cokehead - got his Landed, everybody, no worries! Yeah for 11 years now so why isn't he going after Citizenship, since he's eligible after 3 years of Permanent Residency. That time period may have changed so apologies if it has, but (PL - sorry) I know someone who got told off for waiting 13 years.
I believe she hooked up with a Tinder degenerate and survived the night, decided to turn it into the sparkling Faerie Tale we've heard thus far, and thumb her nose at Nicholas for successfully evading her hammy clutches. He too, I believe is real; the look of utter dejection when he sloughed her off was genuine. And glorious in a just-desserts sort of way. I really enjoyed that moment.
I can't explain the TV business and it baffles me unless it is true also. Which makes it doubly stupid for her to have actually gone back. And I agree with
@thejackal about the coke. I think she did blow on the second visit to the dude's place as well. All the signs, etc. but didn't want to get flack for it.
As for KarateJoe, bottom-feeder that he is, I can't believe she treated such a loyal follower in such a manner. What a cunt.
