In this episode
Known for her hugely captivating story, writer, social media influencer and self titled ’Scammer’ Caroline Calloway doesn’t shy away from being controversial.
Caroline started to build her online presence between 2013 and 2016, documenting her experience during her time at Cambridge university after dropping out of New York University. She rose to fame creating an Instagram following who were given ‘exclusive access’ into the life of Caroline Calloway and her adventures.
However, whilst she gained significant traction and a dedicated fan base which gave her followers a real insight into her life, she faced criticism for her often inconsistent accounts and stories. It was later revealed that alongside forging her place at Cambridge with fraudulent results, she had bought Instagram followers before building an actual audience online.
In 2019, Caroline promised a memoir “And We Were Like: A Memoir” as part of a $500,000 book deal on the back of her internet popularity but the book never transpired, landing her in $100,000 of debt to the publisher. It was later alleged in a damning article published in 2019 by her university friend Natalie Beach that she was the brains behind the famous Instagram, revealing the apparent truth behind the book deal and uncovering Caroline’s adderall addiction. Just two days after the article was published, Caroline was told that her father had been found dead from suicide.
Fast forwarding to present life, Caroline has now published her memoir “Scammer” giving a tell-all take into her life and answers some of the questions that are left from her controversies.
Positioning herself as the scammer, Caroline has used this to gain significant fame but how true is this? This episode gets behind the Instagram profile, looking into ‘who actually is Caroline Calloway?’ From following a similar path to me in attending an Oxbridge University and building a following at the same time to where our paths divided and how it went so horribly wrong. This episode cross examines her one-of-a-kind story as I try to work out the real story and whether she really is a scam artist at all.

Painful to watch Grace not being able to get a word in 😂
grace is the interviewER ?
I’m 12 minutes in and I cannot for the life of me figure out what she’s talking about? 😅
Grace looks bored when she’s listening.
I’m not sure what questions she answered… 👀
Her interview is giving anna delvey and she also seems 'off' energetically.
Seems like she’s still on adderall
It also seems a bit odd that she is a professional writer but can't seem to finish a whole thought or sentence? Something feels odd
Yes! I was going to say, since she lied about little things nothing she says after can be believable. Where did she get all this money to go around? Exhausting 😂 anna delvey vibes for sure
Agree, I'm not gonna try to armchair diagnose, but this girl has dark energy and I don't believe a word she says.
She is attempting to recover from a pretty serious amphetamine addiction. She’s fried.
I'm sure she's interesting and definitely gives writer-artiste erratic energy but was so hard to watch. In high society she's 'eccentric caroline' to normal people she's weird
I can not believe Grace gave he a platform to make excuses for her dishonesty, admitting your wrong deeds after you have been exposed does not make you suddenly innocent. she is still a pathological liar!!
Exactly. Anyone with a Bullsh*t meter or gut feelings can tell that this person is very off and insincere. I don't think she knows how to stop lying.
This girl is a mega narcissist 😅 i usually enjoy interviews by grace but this one definitely is a one way story
The look of disapproval on grace’s face 19 mins in 😂
22 mins in & I can’t take any more. Usually I enjoy Grace’s pods & thought this might be interesting but this is just noisy. Sorry Grace 😌
people usually confuse self-hatred and the constant bashing/shaming of oneself with honesty and self-reflection. But it could be a sign of personality disorders. Because true self-reflection requires being committed to change
So is this comment supposed to shame her for her self-hatred? Or to help people decipher the difference between being self reflective and being a “narcissist” I think is where you’re heading at. I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive, she is aware of her ill behavior..she just doesn’t care. Because what she’s doing is working for her, and though she is wrong she is right in the fact that the society she lives in, reward bad behavior. So why would she change? That’s her understanding. Not saying it’s right, but it’s her understanding and she is very clear in expressing that. I don’t understand your point with that comment.
She’s a mean girl - who eroticises their friends horrible SA. The scamming stuff is overblown but CC is really cruel and narcissistic. Who decides they aren’t going to pay their rent and instead parties and thinks they shouldn’t pay back the rent because they are so special. She’s a mean girl
I’m sure she was a mean girl she says as much and I would expect it from someone addicted to speed. I don’t know about an sa, it wasn’t mentioned in this pod. She said she’s paid and is still paying on what she owes in rent are you saying that’s not true?
@@happyhappyjoyjoy9542 glad she’s finally decided to pay the rent. So kind of her. If you read her book she talks about hearing her at the time best friend talk about SA as deeply erotic. CC likes to be a victim, speed isn’t an excuse for being a horrible person and the way she tries to excuse everything away by being an addict is incredibly offensive. I was horrible but it wasn’t my fault. I’m glad she’s recovered but I’ve yet to hear her take accountability for her arrogance and how she harmed people. And she’s sober now. No excuse for how she dismissed the pain of S.A. and made something this person had yet to fully reveal a vehicle for her to explore her own sexuality. There’s a respectful way to write that but CC decided to choose provocative just for the sake of being provocative. The way she emphasized the friends abuse did nothing for the narrative.
@@happyhappyjoyjoy9542being addicted to speed doesn’t make you a mean girl.
she is a mean girl who happens to also be addicted to speed.
‘My talent for Instagram’ ma’am you bought likes, you bought followers, and you bought captions.
Pretty sure she explained that she was able to grow her Instagram 300,000 followers naturally through the 40,000 artificial followers. That’s talent.
@@Sara-dw6fu no she bought 100k more and then bought like for all her post and paid people to do undisclosed ads
Grace trying to keep up with what Caroline is saying 😵💫
I saw her on one other pod, in that one she would take an occasional long pause and she talked plenty but it’s next level in this one
Why is Caroline talking like that?! Like she can’t feel her tongue or something lol. It’s so weird.
cocaine
Also how do you get into Cambridge as a USA student - surely it takes a lot of money (also getting into the “eton” of the usa). Who paid? I don’t think this young woman has much to say to me. I won’t be reading the memoir….
im sure she got student loans to help pay for it, they are very easy to get especially in the states.
I also thought about the NY apartment, was it hers ? Was it rented ? Renting 2 spaces at the time it’s like crazy money !!!! I’m doubting a bit about the family money ….
@@at2425__wealthy parents
Grace: "lets bring it back to your fathers suicide..."
Caroline: brings it back to talking about Natalie...👀
Saying "My ex-BF who I hired to write those captions for the Bots" with a smile and a nice voice, so passive-aggressive!! and then proceeding to blame her for her addiction!! just wow
I didn’t hear where she blamed her for her addiction, just the opposite she said something like even though she got her first pill from her she does not blame her for her addiction
@@happyhappyjoyjoy9542in her book
This unravelled really fast.
I remember seeing her name on your IG story a few weeks ago! you always find great characters for your podcast
She really likes the word “literally”…
Love the investigative work for this video. Carolines way of talking is so 'all over the place'. Interesting to listen to.
That's right! Grace did a really good job interviewing Caroline.
I agree! The investigative work in this video is commendable, and Caroline's conversational style adds an interesting dimension to the content. It makes the video engaging and enjoyable to watch. 🕵♀🗣👍
Agree 100%
The investigative approach in this video is fantastic, and I appreciate the effort you put into it. Caroline's conversational style is wonderfully unique - her thoughts seem to go in all directions, making it quite intriguing to listen to!
Your investigative approach to this video is spot on! Caroline's conversational style is delightfully all-encompassing. It's captivating to tune in. Here's a fun one - if Caroline could interview any historical figure with her distinctive "all over the place" style, who would it be? Your content keeps us hooked!
Regardless of where you are in life, be there 100%.
So what i gather from this is...she does coke now? Lol
Yep my thoughts too
Lol this was chaotic
So much is cut out….
I really enjoyed this podcast. I enjoy scatterbrained people. They are always the most fun. I can only imagine having to edit this video. It must of taken days 😂. I would love to see some of the outtakes.
She loves talking about herself, not my favorite interview…
She's a very dark energy, totally self absorbed and loves to lie. Gives me really bad vibes, even though she looks harmless.
Did y’all intentionally match your shirts lol ❤
Shocking people make great interviews. Grace did a really good job interviewing Caroline, you have a real talent for this Grace! I really appreciated this episode as we've all heard so much about her, it's incredibly interesting to hear it all from the source. It's giving, "Let's not excuse what she's done but let's be reminded that all people are human".
Vacuous
Never heard this story until now but I’m not British
Is Brokkoli Head ok ???
What next?! A high class escort?
Crazy…..can’t listen to all of this….
Haha
Criiiinge
Caroline
such a beauty , fun, human, and honest, gal. Its hard for the public to not hate. Great interview Grace!
honest? lol
I dont really think she did anything wrong lol. Fake followers and likes are not that deep. Natalie was the ugly friend who was bitter about being the ugly friend and felt like she got left behind. I'd even go as far as saying Natalie was obsessed with Caroline. And then to attempt to exploit her in the days after her father's death? Foul. Clearly I'm in the minority with my opinion judging by the rest of these comments lol but after listening to this I'm totally team Caroline. Natalie sounds like a narcissist.
you know when i first read this comment i was like wtf are you talking about but after watching i tend to agree with you!
i just think it’s so refreshing how genuinely honest she is
This has to be fake right???
Caroline has admitted before that Natalie gave her a heads up about the article before her father’s death. Idk how you can watch someone admitting to being turned on by a friend’s SA as anything but crazy.
- she faked grades to get into cambridge
- she took money from a publisher for a book she knew she was my going to write and screwed another person over who needed money and a job
- she took pre order money for a book and then postponed it for years, while spending other people’s money
- she constantly belittles others and people in her book like her professor have called her out for lying
- she proudly considers herself a racist
- she scammed people out of money for her classes
ya..she did nothing wy
