@stmsinthen maybe her community service should be on the back end? Like, the paperwork side, the insurance stuff, whatever is allowed (obviously wouldn't trust her with sensitive information of real patients, but just the super boring stuff). There are a lot of things other than the actual cancer going on when people are dealing with the diagnosis, and she should have to deal with the real shit a cancer patient would have to.
@richarddimple7734there ya go, you got it! Just a little tidbit for the hell of it-the psychopathy diagnostic checklist is still something the jury is out on, as of my research into that for a college paper last semester. Now, there *is* a more recent update to the DSM, so I could very well be outdated here, but psychopathy is generally less understood than sociopathy, if I understood those journal articles right.
@richarddimple7734 Is that true though? I've always been under the impression psychopaths are often meticulous and cunning - with some kind of goal, whether it be profit or spite or anything in between. Meanwhile, sociopaths (who also share similar empathy-lacking traits, more or less) are more impulsive and reactionary.
Her 100 hours of community service should be helping actual patients dealing with what she lied about. Make her sit for 100 hours while people telling her what it's like to ACTUALLY suffer from that illness.
@@Antonio-Sandoval if she fakes it better then she's going to jail. Win/win for me. Either she realizes what a awful person she was and sees the error of her ways, or continues to scam and goes to jail (that's obviously assuming the system not just letting criminals have a slap on the wrist, which is admittedly wishful thinking
@@JM-pg2lwthese kinds of people are never going to understand how they are an awful person. Their ego is so fucking huge it's crazy. She even tried to play the victim card at court, fake crying and all that shit. She knows people will simp over her or whatever. She is a narcissist and a psychopath. In their mind they can never be wrong. Just awful people all along.
What hurt the most was hearing that people actually suffering looked at her and wondered what they were doing wrong because she was running marathons and looking healthy while they felt horrible and didn’t have energy. That’s the worst part for me.
i saw a couple videos on her and it's so awful how she made REAL cancer paitents feel bad about themselves bc she was doing so well and having her life together.
Today's Fact: In 2013, a woman from Utah gave birth to her own grandchildren as a surrogate for her daughter, who could not carry a child due to cancer.
It’s so frustrating to see the courts say she won’t reoffend bc of her good grades. She didn’t rob a convenience store because she’s a hooligan or poor. SHE LIED ABOUT CANCER ONLINE AND STOLE THOUSANDS IN DONATIONS. And her wonderful resume didn’t stop her from doing that the FIRST time! The only thing that will stop her from reoffending is never giving her access to the internet again.
Yes exactly this. I fear her way more then I fear some thug on the street why? Because this chick already was in a super good spot in her life and still decided "nah, I need MORE, I DESERVE MORE". This is greed 100000000000000000000000000000%. Someone who already have everything they could ask for and still demand more are the type of people who have good jobs and earn super well but still try to scam money from people who have less then them. That is the definition of greed. Well educated people who try to take advantage of people who have less then them is IMO far worse then if a homeless man steals. But also being poor is IMO not a good excuse to steal either, unless they are literally starving.
they didnt SAY she wouldnt re-offend because of her good grades, the court would never word it like that, charlie is the one that said that, it is more likely the person is good if they have good academics, what's so hard to understand about that?
@@TRVPHAUSa good academic record does not say anything about someone’s personality. There have been a lot of incidents involving intelligent and educated criminals in the past.
@@_radioh3ad_ intelligence and good grades aren’t equivalent. There’s no defense for the girl, but generally good grades mean you’ve got a good work ethic and it is, in fact, less likely for someone to be a repeat offender when they have good grades.
She didn't even have the courtesy to fake a less severe type of cancer. Pancreatic cancer is very aggressive type of cancer and usually by the time you show symptoms it's too late. My father in law had battled for a little over a year but lost. It was so awful to watch him deteriorate as the days went on. Shame on this woman.
went to high school with this girl, real pissed to hear about it when the convictions came to light last winter. glad it’s getting the attention it deserves
Im just glad Charlie is covering this to show how fucked up it is and it keeps happening over and over bc there’s no real punishment. im gorilla da spinna, ora, rangatangin bangin
Another lie of hers is related to her non-existent hair loss. People were noticing that she wasn't losing her hair so she made a video addressing the issue. She said she was taking a biotin supplement to maintain her hair. The audacity.
It depends on the treatment regimen. Anthracyclines are well known for hair loss, but capecitabine by comparison won't do that to you. I'm saying this so people don't get the wrong idea and start accusing genuine cancer patients.
Being an actual cancer survivor, I heard about this story at the tail end of my treatment, and I was so disgusted by this. Who in their right mind would pretend to have a horrible affliction, much less a relatively common one like cancer, for any reason? I'm glad there were at least some repercussions, but they definitely should have been less lenient with her sentencing. It sucks to see how far some people will go for a little bit of attention and money, because I can almost guarantee she didn't do this to bring her family back together.
hope your recovery is going well, cancer can be brutal. Also nothing brings a family together quite like extreme stress and financial hardship. I believe her motivations 100%, nothing to see here...
@@madpie5147 I was lucky mine was able to be treated quickly. It was only two years of treatment, but it was truly agonizing, and it made the prospect of cancer harrowing to me. I can definitely agree that it brings a family together, and I hope you're right about her intentions. Recovery has been slow, but good nevertheless. Thank you!
@@EllaDragonflyI'm a stranger but am glad you made it. Not a stranger to cancer among loved ones. May it make no return, and may you only continue to flourish.
As someone who actually went through cancer treatment (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia), it is disgusting to see someone fake such a arduous and painful process as a way to gain clout and money. I hope they come around to actually giving this woman the consequences she deserves.
I can’t believe that she would fake cancer. To reunite her family?! She has everything she could’ve wanted, yet she fakes cancer!? I’m glad some people covered that she had faked it, if they didn’t, she would’ve kept on scamming people and gotten away with it.
I hate to say it but she’s not getting prosecuted because she is a female. In America they are indicted over 50% less and serve only 34% the time for the same crimes committed by men. There was a guy in my town that faked Tourette’s and autism to get free housing and food from a publicly funded shelter. He didn’t defraud anyone anywhere near $37k and he’s in the hole for 5 years. No previous criminal history. You can claim that “it’s the judge,” but you can’t deny the country-wide stats.
Holy shit this girl goes to my college and I’m actually in an online employment law class with her currently. Was also in an in person class with her before she started to fake cancer. She’s under probation now, but still enrolled in online class just fine. Also she definitely did this shit for attention. She’s one of those people that feels like the world revolves around only her. Shits crazy.
I’ve been working/learning in the law enforcement field for around 5 years now (not that it matters), and the only reason why I can think that the prosecuting attorney would request no jail time is because, unfortunately, studies have shown that putting low risk offenders into prison can actually increase their likelihood that they would reoffend, rather than if they utilized alternative sentencing.
My mom passed from cancer and my brother passed from leukemia. I genuinely don’t know how someone can be so evil and casual when there are real people out there struggling. I wish her the worst truly
As someone who’s mother went through over a year of chemo for breast cancer, I am disgusted by this. The fact she is not doing prison time is appalling.
my classmate has cancer. And she is only 14 yrs old. It's sad to see that some people are that terrible that they are ready to fake anything for money and attention.
I went to high school with her. She was a straight A student, a phenomenal person and was a great friend. All that going for her allowed her to get away with this disgusting lie and NONE of saw it coming. My mom, a medical professional, saw pictures and thought it was suspicious but never said anything because who would lie about such a terrible illness right?
@@raven-chan2071 Maddie Russo when to north Scott high school in Eldridge Iowa, then graduated and when to st Ambrose university as a business major and was pulled out of class at 9 in the morning. But nah I didn’t go to high school or junior high with her. Lmao goofy mf
Well, a lot of the cancer fakers get caught. It’s pretty hard to fake a full cancer and treatment course without errors, and many are dumb enough to think movies are documentaries, and include nonsense or Hollywood fantasies of cancer in their portrayal. Or some get greedy and start to say they have 2-3 different cancers at once, which isn’t “proof” as that is possible, but it’s very rare and a potential red flag. Even if they read up on cancers and mimic real patient experiences, it’s hard to get all the details correct. Can’t remember if it was her, but one faker tried to pass off a tube taped under her nose off as a feeding tube, and many nurses and docs spotted right away that it was clearly not a realistic nasogastric tube.
I lost both my parents to cancer. Not only coping with the loss but also watching the people I loved suffer before that was painful beyond anything you can imagine. Still is and always will be. I have no words for how disgusting this person is. This is pure evil. She deserves jail.
@@LTPottenger uh no? cancer is when cells are grown wrongly and it forms a tumor? literally everyone gets badly grown cells, maybe even small tumors but our bodies deal with them and theyre unnoticeable. but if the tumors survive and grow even more resilient, it turns into cancer. do research.
I had a patient who came into our hospital with "severe nausea" (had not seen her throw up at all) but the doctors gave her a tube feed anyway. (Her history shows that she's in and out of the hospital for the same thing). She was a "paraplegic" but was able to lift her legs up and stand up, but for some reason they gave her a diagnosis of paraplegia. Fast forward to a week into her hospital admission, another nurse found over a hundred vials of hydromorphone, valium, and compazine, etc all in a giant bag. We found out she was also a tiktok "star" and was asking all the nurses to follow her. A co-worker of mine looked into her account and saw that she was trying to get sympathy/attention for all of her "illnesses". Good news is that the doctors basically kicked her out, not sure if she got in trouble by the law for those drugs found on her. But everyone was positive that they did not leave drugs in her room so it was likely she was getting her friends to smuggle it in.
As a 2 time cancer survivor (all before the age of 28)... this shit pisses me off. Going through it fucking sucks. There were tons of complications for me going through it as well. I could never wish on anyone. Then if your lucky to survive, you're stuck with the long term effects (in my case heart damage) and a huge medical bill. I struggled through paying those bills, hell I still am. But is a small price to pay to still be here. These people faking illness, conditions, etc definitely deserve a way harsher punishment when they use these false narratives to solicit money or free things. The slap on the wrist just means they will keep doing it.
As someone who had a brother who passed away from cancer and had him document his journey on tiktok, this makes me so angry. She is literally making a mockery of people like my brother. I miss him so much and people like her just use fake illness to garner support. They should lock her up and throw away the key.
I just saw my aunt that’s dying from cancer today. She ran marathons, ate well, just was generally a really lively person. Today I kept checking her pulse because she looked just like my grandma did when she took her last breath in front of my eyes. This is a horrible thing to lie about.
My spouse survived two different unrelated cancers in 5 years. It's dreadful going through the process, and honestly the last thing we thought about was getting public sympathy. We just focused on treatment plans and making sure we did everything to aid in the recovery process. It's really disheartening to learn about people doing this stuff, and lying about it. It's hard enough to go through without having to deal with people not believing us because of people like her.
Holy shit, two unrelated cancers? That's horrible, I'm so glad to hear they survived it. They're really kickass for dealing with that. I hope you're both doing well, take it easy for like _forever_ after all that.
@@0palOpal0pal thanks! we're doing fine, and so far they are still cancer free a year after finishing a year of immunotherapy. They had a bunch of genetic testing to try and figure out why it happened twice, but we're still none the wiser. Growing up in Libby Montana likely was a factor.
My childhood best friend, Hannah, died of cancer at age 20. She was a vibrant, beautiful, funny and caring person. And her loss is felt by everyone who knew her. This is an absolutely deplorable thing to do. Shame on her for faking something so serious and devastating.
Cancer was so deadly in 2000s that everyone on earth lost someone to it at some point and idiots like this faking everything for clout just boils my blood
@@TojiFushigoroWasTaken Just curious and not trying to be difficult here, but is there a particular reason you pointed at the 2000s specifically as being so deadly? I assume it was just as deadly as in the 70s, 80s, 90s, no?
@@TitaniumTurbine I think they more ment to point out how much more treatable some kinds of common cancers have become in the last 10 or so years with various more targeted forms of therapys
This makes me so angry because I went through cancer at 23 and now 3 years later, I am STILL struggling with the side effects and paying all the bills including my own and people like her are going to make people like me who actually need the money not do any fundraisers. Or if they do, I'm sure a lot of people are going to shy away from donating anymore to help.
She should get a year of community service helping out patients with cancer. Getting their groceries, cleaning, you know - so she can be around people who have the life altering disease she pretended to have.
This is really sad when you think about how the money that went towards her could have gone towards people who actually had cancer who potentially died and could be alive now. It feels like she robbed them of that opportunity as well as 40K
As a disabled person it makes me so angry when people use conditions like this. Not only are they taking away from people who actually have the disability, disorder, disease etc, but this also makes it harder for people like us to actually get help because people might not believe us unless we look like we’re struggling visibly or we provide documentation. She should be in jail. How the fuck did she get out of this?
Can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that Charlie always gives credit to the creators, and owners of all the sources, clips, and images he uses in his videos? Doing this is so simple, yet equally respectful.
There was a big case a couple of years ago here in Australia where some chick faked having cancer and then sold her lifestyle shit, as if eating a good diet or something "cured" her of cancer without chemo or radio therapy. She sold this lie to actual cancer patients and eventually got found out. It was sickening.
No restitution?! The worst part is that people who would have gladly donated to a Go Fund Me for anyone in true need are now going to pass thinking it's probably just another scam. Really despicable crime. She got off way too easy!
Maybe its just me but all "go fund me" & "kickstarters" sound like scam to me. Ive never donated to one because of that. Hell i dont even donate to charity orgs because i know without a shadow of a doubt the founder is taking a cut of the donations.
Glad to hear that you can commit crimes and get away with it if you had high grades in school! Im sure if she scammed 39k from the state or feds she wouldnt be getting off because of "high grades."
This girl is a local where I live. We were all shocked when we found out. I have a friend who ACTUALLY HAD cancer, and Madison would DM her pretty consistently asking her for advice about how to handle cancer. She is so disgusting.
The fact she is not the only one trying this makes this more disgusting. She's showing she couldnt care less about hurting people She's helping more people do it with every time she's seen online too.
I'll tell you right now, this chick will do something horrible again and wind up in jail. There's no chance that someone like this will go on probation for a lengthy time and not do something else.
Normally I would say that going a bit lighter on the punishment is a good thing, as long as she returns the money, then a slap on the wrist is enough, but the issue in this case is that she can't truly undo the effects of her crime, by faking cancer for donations she gives people reason to doubt any similar fund raisers. Her biggest crime is not against those she stole from, but against those she impersonated.
I swear Charlie is just a chill guy with a monotone voice, its a taste of fresh air hearing someone as calm as Charlie when i have to put up with my brother’s loud youtubers that he watches. I absolutely love it
It's important to put into context that the money she stole could have gone to real cancer patients, stealing money from people who are at their lowest, this is what makes her so insanely evil.
i have gotten hodgkins lymphoma at the age of 15, and I went through 6 months of chemo therapy, and tbh many of my friends wanted to start a go fund me but I didn't even care about it, all I wanted was just to get out of the hospital, get that stupid picc line out of my arm, and finally being able to do things I wasn't able to do, do things that I was thinking to do even before I had it. it sucks to hear that people can easily get things better by just lying. it makes me so mad
@@ChrisShafferOfficial i hate how my first reply here is a bot with absolutely no soul or purpose other than saying garbage all day while the creator cries himself to sleep at night praying mommy and daddy loved him
@@LazyAlex_So if we go by the Go Fund Me page for $37,000, then that equates to almost 4.25 years in prison. I'm ok with this. Better than what she actually received
Both my parents have dealt with cancer. My dad died from it recently. I’m 15 and I’ve known too many people who have suffered from it. It’s absolutely deplorable that some people have the gall to fake such a serious condition. Truly disgusting.
The Ray William Johnson cameo means a lot more when you realize that he helped kickstart Charlie's popularity, after featuring him in a video way back in the day.
When you lie about having cancer, you put yourself into the rare position of getting zero sympathy down the road should you legitimately get cancer. If it happens, you're gonna hear a lot of "you got what you wished for. Don't complain now." Also, her community service should be cleaning the bedpans of people with actual cancer so she truly understands what she was exploiting.
i don’t ever comment on videos, but i went through cancer at 14 years old (stage two hodgkin’s lymphoma) and to see someone do things like this is absolutely infuriating. taking pictures from ACTUAL cancer patients and pretending they’re her own for the sake of clout is insane. making money off of go-fund me’s, money that could’ve actually gone to help REAL cancer patients, and then just blatantly lying about it by saying ‘she did it to bring her family together’ is one of the stupidest things i’ve ever heard. even just faking a cancer diagnosis in general is simply just downplaying the actual experiences and stories from cancer patients, and to take that voice away from them for tiktok clout is genuinely so disheartening.
i live in the quad cities and it’s absolutely insane to me that i’ve leaned more about this situation from this video than from local news. this story isn’t being shared nearly as much as it should and many of the people in this area have already forgotten about this girl
I have a nephew who had testicular cancer at 3 months. When he was 7 he had leukemia. After lots of chemo he is cancer free right now at 15. Still has to go for regularly scheduled screenings. What a horrible disgusting individual
Bro, faking cancer to "get the family back together" is literally some Family Sitcom level planning. Like I can just imagine Louis Griffin from Family Guy doing this shit.
Oh man we've gone full circle. It all started for Charlie when RWJ showed his QWOP video on =3. Now, 10 years later, the role is reversed and Charlie is showing RWJ's video.
The reason why the government is so light on the punishment for this type of stuff is because the government doesn’t see stuff that happens online as that serious. They don’t see it as “real” crimes because it’s “just on the internet.” So “what harm could it possibly do?”
As someone who lost someone to that specific cancer, this is absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy because seeing how it affects someone is terrible because it's just watching them deteriorate in the worst way possible
The defense that her good grades and a good job will prevent her from reoffending has to be _the absolue dumbest_ argument. Did she not have those grades and that job while she was scheming and scamming in the first place? If she did, then if it didn't stop her from offending, it won't stop her from reoffending. If she didn't, then that means she chose to offend instead of putting in the effort in the first place. Neither option paints her in a good light.
@@velocitywot9573Yes and no. It is crazy unless you wake up to the fact that the system is not about enforcing the law it's about enforcing ideology. Why do you think every gun crime is never about the criminal and always about the gun? Because guns represent the one thing those who want to oppress the people truly fear. So if you can get the people to fear that which protects their liberty enough to say "take them away!" then there exists nothing to oppose you. So this person was not against the liberal/progressive ideology therefore no need to curtail her freedom.
I lost 2 Uncles to pancreatic cancer. One suffered for 8 years the Doctors told us monthly it was a miracle he was still alive. The other Uncle was diagnosed and passed away within 5 months. They died within months of each other the grief from it killed my Pap and Nan. For someone to lie about having cancer for money, clout or to bring their family back together is disgusting.
I work at a urology clinic in MI, one day I met this woman who was in her late thirties early forties who was battling bladder cancer and at the time I met her she was going to have her entire badder removed for good. When I tell you this woman broke down in tears when she realized that was her best option after doing chemo for many years it was almost like I could feel a tiny sliver of her exhaustion. It’s so hard to understand what having cancer is like and I meet people every day who are going through the worst of it. It really sucks that someone would do what she does.

i remember hearing about this, i heard about her sick brother first, only reason she got away with it for so long was cus the type of cancer she was faking is so hard to detect
A few years ago there was a city employee here who told all her coworkers she had cancer. They raised money for her, donated PTO to her so she could go to her doctor appointments, there would be news articles documenting her struggle and ways you could help her. This went on for a couple years before she was exposed, she had taken thousands of dollars of PTO from her coworkers, spent the donations on vacations and big ticket items for herself and her family. I don't know how people get to a point where they think this is ok or how they live with themselves after they get caught.
I like how in her apology in court she's pretends yo cry with no tears at all!!!!! So sick of woman in court knowing all they have to do is shed a few tears and they get away with half of what a man gets.
When people can get away with crimes for nonsense like "good grades" makes me think they're somehow important or connected, because most people have the book thrown at them for stuff like that when charges have already been made.
Who wants to bet that her attorney drudged up that story about "getting her family back together" and told her to sell that BS in court as her only "excuse"
It's so disgusting because not only did she lie but the lie can have devastating effects like someone who actually has cancer and tries to get help from social media but they're not gonna believe him or her or they
Thanks for your enthusiasm and clarity. I pride myself on knowing a lot of quirky sayings and regional idiomatic expressions, but had never heard “what a load of dirty barnacles” until today. I subscribe and abide.
Law student here: the reason these sentences are usually so "light" is for two main reasons: (1) the crime is non-violent and (2) it's usually a first-time offense (like for Madison, here). There's also the question of recidivism, and the Court likely determined she was unlikely to reoffend Also, I use "light" in quotations because parole is actually a lot tougher than most people think it is. For one, there's no credit for "good behavior," so 3 years of probation means *3 years of probation*, and not 1 day less. 2nd, if she gets so much as a DUI or public intox (common offenses for college students), she goes straight to prison for 10 years, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
This is diabolical. My 9 year old nephew just got back from a follow up to see if he's still clear of Hodgkins after battling stage IV. It left an emotional crater in my family when he got diagnosed. I don't care if she was telling the truth about getting her family back together or not, that shit is traumatizing for a family to go through. That compulsive gambler clearly had *poker*-atic cancer though!
YEAH he did lol,, and what a sleaze ball,, but he probably got his ass took by some cheaters who WEREN'T dumb enough to having to raise their stake lying on the internet... Probably stock brokers and hedge fund managers...
He's a healthy, growing boy now. 😀 I don't think he'll ever be the same mentally or emotionally though. Being that young and knowing there's a chance you can die, and seeing everyone around you so distraught... yeah. He used to be a super hyperactive kid, now he's really subdued. But his hair is growing back, he's going to school.
As a rule, If someone puts in time and effort to dress up, put makeup on and look "good" to make a video about something supposedly serious then I immediately dont trust them. The way it's so intentional makes it feel like a manipulation tactic. This is almost always the case with bad/fake apologies, terrible responses and i guess total scams. Like if you were genuine you'd just look and be your regular self and let your message speak for itself.
Its remminds me to that time Orson Wells faked being sorry about the whole wars of worlds thing, the guy pourposly didn't have any sleep to look tired and had tons of cigarrets to sound raspy. Thats how a good actor make himself look desperate and hopeless
It was insane when people were like, how are you and chemo and have a full head of hair, she was just like "vitamins 🥰🥰" Anyone who has experienced chemo or has watched a loved one undergo chemo should call bullshit on that immediately
when my mum was going through chemo she maintained a whole head of hair. She did loser her eyelashes, and a small amount of her eyebrows, but still had all her hair. Not defending this absolute psychopath, but you can go through your rounds of treatment with a lot of hair still, it's not a universal side effect. The biggest red flag with this woman is that she just looks... fine. People going through chemo, hair or otherwise, look absolutely awful for what it does to their bodies.
@@MusicWithMatt13 Exactly, all pharmaceuticals affect people differently. The interaction between a drug and a person’s body can be as unique as a fingerprint. There’s common symptoms and rare symptoms with everything, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to get all/some/none of those.

It’s so frustrating to see the courts say she won’t reoffend bc of her good grades. She didn’t rob a convenience store because she’s a hooligan or poor. SHE LIED ABOUT CANCER ONLINE AND STOLE THOUSANDS IN DONATIONS. And her wonderful resume didn’t stop her from doing that the FIRST time! The only thing that will stop her from reoffending is never giving her access to the internet again.
Yes exactly this. I fear her way more then I fear some thug on the street why? Because this chick already was in a super good spot in her life and still decided "nah, I need MORE, I DESERVE MORE". This is greed 100000000000000000000000000000%. Someone who already have everything they could ask for and still demand more are the type of people who have good jobs and earn super well but still try to scam money from people who have less then them. That is the definition of greed. Well educated people who try to take advantage of people who have less then them is IMO far worse then if a homeless man steals. But also being poor is IMO not a good excuse to steal either, unless they are literally starving.
they didnt SAY she wouldnt re-offend because of her good grades, the court would never word it like that, charlie is the one that said that, it is more likely the person is good if they have good academics, what's so hard to understand about that?
@@TRVPHAUSa good academic record does not say anything about someone’s personality. There have been a lot of incidents involving intelligent and educated criminals in the past.
@@_radioh3ad_ intelligence and good grades aren’t equivalent. There’s no defense for the girl, but generally good grades mean you’ve got a good work ethic and it is, in fact, less likely for someone to be a repeat offender when they have good grades.
@@claytonjacocks7233 Agreed, good grades are a correlation, not a rule.
She didn't even have the courtesy to fake a less severe type of cancer. Pancreatic cancer is very aggressive type of cancer and usually by the time you show symptoms it's too late. My father in law had battled for a little over a year but lost. It was so awful to watch him deteriorate as the days went on. Shame on this woman.
Idk if I'd call that "courtesy".

@@Just_A_Guy_Here. wouldn’t know, she was 3 classes below me. she did flaunt her antics to her friends though that’s about all I know
Another lie of hers is related to her non-existent hair loss. People were noticing that she wasn't losing her hair so she made a video addressing the issue. She said she was taking a biotin supplement to maintain her hair. The audacity.
Jesus, like
did she think no one else fighting cancer thought of that?
It depends on the treatment regimen. Anthracyclines are well known for hair loss, but capecitabine by comparison won't do that to you. I'm saying this so people don't get the wrong idea and start accusing genuine cancer patients.
@@Relatablename yup, my mom didn't lose hair on her chemo
And then she trimmed the ends and posted a photo of it in the sink saying it came out of her head and people were like...girl wtf
@@DeedlyDood Thats the thing to, even if its a treatment know for causeing that, some people just, dont.
Being an actual cancer survivor, I heard about this story at the tail end of my treatment, and I was so disgusted by this. Who in their right mind would pretend to have a horrible affliction, much less a relatively common one like cancer, for any reason? I'm glad there were at least some repercussions, but they definitely should have been less lenient with her sentencing. It sucks to see how far some people will go for a little bit of attention and money, because I can almost guarantee she didn't do this to bring her family back together.

@@madpie5147 I was lucky mine was able to be treated quickly. It was only two years of treatment, but it was truly agonizing, and it made the prospect of cancer harrowing to me.

I’ve been working/learning in the law enforcement field for around 5 years now (not that it matters), and the only reason why I can think that the prosecuting attorney would request no jail time is because, unfortunately, studies have shown that putting low risk offenders into prison can actually increase their likelihood that they would reoffend, rather than if they utilized alternative sentencing.

Haha sure she was, naw she is a scumbag. Always was.
It’s rare for a content creator to get arrested for committing crimes nowadays, I’m glad she was caught
Well, a lot of the cancer fakers get caught. It’s pretty hard to fake a full cancer and treatment course without errors, and many are dumb enough to think movies are documentaries, and include nonsense or Hollywood fantasies of cancer in their portrayal. Or some get greedy and start to say they have 2-3 different cancers at once, which isn’t “proof” as that is possible, but it’s very rare and a potential red flag.
Even if they read up on cancers and mimic real patient experiences, it’s hard to get all the details correct. Can’t remember if it was her, but one faker tried to pass off a tube taped under her nose off as a feeding tube, and many nurses and docs spotted right away that it was clearly not a realistic nasogastric tube.
I lost both my parents to cancer. Not only coping with the loss but also watching the people I loved suffer before that was painful beyond anything you can imagine. Still is and always will be. I have no words for how disgusting this person is. This is pure evil. She deserves jail.
@@LTPottenger uh no? cancer is when cells are grown wrongly and it forms a tumor? literally everyone gets badly grown cells, maybe even small tumors but our bodies deal with them and theyre unnoticeable. but if the tumors survive and grow even more resilient, it turns into cancer. do research.

Yeah. My great aunt died to breast cancer, so I know how it feels like to lose someone to cancer. And yes, Madison should be in prison.
I'm so sorry. I lost my dad to cancer and it's devastating. This woman is disgusting.
I had a patient who came into our hospital with "severe nausea" (had not seen her throw up at all) but the doctors gave her a tube feed anyway. (Her history shows that she's in and out of the hospital for the same thing). She was a "paraplegic" but was able to lift her legs up and stand up, but for some reason they gave her a diagnosis of paraplegia. Fast forward to a week into her hospital admission, another nurse found over a hundred vials of hydromorphone, valium, and compazine, etc all in a giant bag. We found out she was also a tiktok "star" and was asking all the nurses to follow her. A co-worker of mine looked into her account and saw that she was trying to get sympathy/attention for all of her "illnesses". Good news is that the doctors basically kicked her out, not sure if she got in trouble by the law for those drugs found on her. But everyone was positive that they did not leave drugs in her room so it was likely she was getting her friends to smuggle it in.
Sounds like a clout-based version of Munchausen Syndrome.

As a 2 time cancer survivor (all before the age of 28)... this shit pisses me off. Going through it fucking sucks. There were tons of complications for me going through it as well. I could never wish on anyone. Then if your lucky to survive, you're stuck with the long term effects (in my case heart damage) and a huge medical bill. I struggled through paying those bills, hell I still am. But is a small price to pay to still be here. These people faking illness, conditions, etc definitely deserve a way harsher punishment when they use these false narratives to solicit money or free things. The slap on the wrist just means they will keep doing it.

My spouse survived two different unrelated cancers in 5 years. It's dreadful going through the process, and honestly the last thing we thought about was getting public sympathy. We just focused on treatment plans and making sure we did everything to aid in the recovery process. It's really disheartening to learn about people doing this stuff, and lying about it. It's hard enough to go through without having to deal with people not believing us because of people like her.

As a disabled person it makes me so angry when people use conditions like this. Not only are they taking away from people who actually have the disability, disorder, disease etc, but this also makes it harder for people like us to actually get help because people might not believe us unless we look like we’re struggling visibly or we provide documentation.

When you lie about having cancer, you put yourself into the rare position of getting zero sympathy down the road should you legitimately get cancer. If it happens, you're gonna hear a lot of "you got what you wished for. Don't complain now." Also, her community service should be cleaning the bedpans of people with actual cancer so she truly understands what she was exploiting.
i don’t ever comment on videos, but i went through cancer at 14 years old (stage two hodgkin’s lymphoma) and to see someone do things like this is absolutely infuriating.
taking pictures from ACTUAL cancer patients and pretending they’re her own for the sake of clout is insane. making money off of go-fund me’s, money that could’ve actually gone to help REAL cancer patients, and then just blatantly lying about it by saying ‘she did it to bring her family together’ is one of the stupidest things i’ve ever heard.
even just faking a cancer diagnosis in general is simply just downplaying the actual experiences and stories from cancer patients, and to take that voice away from them for tiktok clout is genuinely so disheartening.

Now, 10 years later, the role is reversed and Charlie is showing RWJ's video.
A family member of mine has cancer, its disgusting that someone would want to fake this
The reason why the government is so light on the punishment for this type of stuff is because the government doesn’t see stuff that happens online as that serious. They don’t see it as “real” crimes because it’s “just on the internet.” So “what harm could it possibly do?”
I am sure she won't do this again... until she is caught...
As someone who lost someone to that specific cancer, this is absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy because seeing how it affects someone is terrible because it's just watching them deteriorate in the worst way possible
The defense that her good grades and a good job will prevent her from reoffending has to be _the absolue dumbest_ argument. Did she not have those grades and that job while she was scheming and scamming in the first place? If she did, then if it didn't stop her from offending, it won't stop her from reoffending. If she didn't, then that means she chose to offend instead of putting in the effort in the first place. Neither option paints her in a good light.
Exactly. That defense is always such a cop-out excuse. Like, doesn't matter who the offender is - the crime should be punished
its crazy that that didnt come from her attorney but from the prosecutor. LOL
Her grades and employment had zero to do with her sentence or lack thereof. That was pure bs.
@@velocitywot9573Yes and no. It is crazy unless you wake up to the fact that the system is not about enforcing the law it's about enforcing ideology. Why do you think every gun crime is never about the criminal and always about the gun? Because guns represent the one thing those who want to oppress the people truly fear. So if you can get the people to fear that which protects their liberty enough to say "take them away!" then there exists nothing to oppose you. So this person was not against the liberal/progressive ideology therefore no need to curtail her freedom.
8:27 she had fake cancer my dude. She's suffered enough.....
I lost 2 Uncles to pancreatic cancer. One suffered for 8 years the Doctors told us monthly it was a miracle he was still alive. The other Uncle was diagnosed and passed away within 5 months. They died within months of each other the grief from it killed my Pap and Nan. For someone to lie about having cancer for money, clout or to bring their family back together is disgusting.
I work at a urology clinic in MI, one day I met this woman who was in her late thirties early forties who was battling bladder cancer and at the time I met her she was going to have her entire badder removed for good. When I tell you this woman broke down in tears when she realized that was her best option after doing chemo for many years it was almost like I could feel a tiny sliver of her exhaustion. It’s so hard to understand what having cancer is like and I meet people every day who are going through the worst of it. It really sucks that someone would do what she does.
Jesus. So that means she's gonna have to use a catheter for the rest of her life?
No she’ll have to use a bag that catches the urine instead of a catheter because there’s nothing to connect to cath to
This is wild. I work at the local news station featured in this video that covered this story as it came out. It was insane to see how deep the rabbit hole went as we investigated.
Source? edit: the source is his asshole

I actually went to highschool with the girl (I didn’t know her personally) a lot of people in the Eldridge area were shocked
@@BBQFarts when we first ran it we knew it would be a local talker, but it's really crazy how big it's become and how many RUclipsrs have picked up on it!
@@owenhoke4923 anyone else but Charlie and RWJ have picked up on it?
i remember hearing about this, i heard about her sick brother first, only reason she got away with it for so long was cus the type of cancer she was faking is so hard to detect

@@mirjinou7999 shouldnt your parents buy you a professional camera so you have a slightly higher chance of getting 50k followers? XD
Bro, seeing RayWilliamJohnson was like seeing a dead relative again wtf.
A few years ago there was a city employee here who told all her coworkers she had cancer. They raised money for her, donated PTO to her so she could go to her doctor appointments, there would be news articles documenting her struggle and ways you could help her. This went on for a couple years before she was exposed, she had taken thousands of dollars of PTO from her coworkers, spent the donations on vacations and big ticket items for herself and her family. I don't know how people get to a point where they think this is ok or how they live with themselves after they get caught.
Taking resources meant for cancer patients away from actual cancer patients is so much more malicious than "theft" describes.
People like her ruin it for people that actually need help. She should have got some time
I like how in her apology in court she's pretends yo cry with no tears at all!!!!! So sick of woman in court knowing all they have to do is shed a few tears and they get away with half of what a man gets.
didn't do it for fame or money? yet she milked it for money and clout. she deserves real prison time.
When people can get away with crimes for nonsense like "good grades" makes me think they're somehow important or connected, because most people have the book thrown at them for stuff like that when charges have already been made.

There’s NO Goatman???
My entire life has been a lie…
Who wants to bet that her attorney drudged up that story about "getting her family back together" and told her to sell that BS in court as her only "excuse"
Charlie seems to be feeling better that's good

@@Soma_109 oh yeah I remember now

It's so disgusting because not only did she lie but the lie can have devastating effects like someone who actually has cancer and tries to get help from social media but they're not gonna believe him or her or they

Thanks for your enthusiasm and clarity. I pride myself on knowing a lot of quirky sayings and regional idiomatic expressions, but had never heard “what a load of dirty barnacles” until today. I subscribe and abide.
Law student here: the reason these sentences are usually so "light" is for two main reasons: (1) the crime is non-violent and (2) it's usually a first-time offense (like for Madison, here). There's also the question of recidivism, and the Court likely determined she was unlikely to reoffend
Also, I use "light" in quotations because parole is actually a lot tougher than most people think it is. For one, there's no credit for "good behavior," so 3 years of probation means *3 years of probation*, and not 1 day less. 2nd, if she gets so much as a DUI or public intox (common offenses for college students), she goes straight to prison for 10 years, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
This is diabolical. My 9 year old nephew just got back from a follow up to see if he's still clear of Hodgkins after battling stage IV. It left an emotional crater in my family when he got diagnosed. I don't care if she was telling the truth about getting her family back together or not, that shit is traumatizing for a family to go through.
That compulsive gambler clearly had *poker*-atic cancer though!
YEAH he did lol,, and what a sleaze ball,, but he probably got his ass took by some cheaters who WEREN'T dumb enough to having to raise their stake lying on the internet... Probably stock brokers and hedge fund managers...
Poor boy 😢 I hope he's okay! Childhood cancer is just so horrible 😢
He's a healthy, growing boy now. 😀 I don't think he'll ever be the same mentally or emotionally though. Being that young and knowing there's a chance you can die, and seeing everyone around you so distraught... yeah. He used to be a super hyperactive kid, now he's really subdued. But his hair is growing back, he's going to school.
As a rule, If someone puts in time and effort to dress up, put makeup on and look "good" to make a video about something supposedly serious then I immediately dont trust them. The way it's so intentional makes it feel like a manipulation tactic.
This is almost always the case with bad/fake apologies, terrible responses and i guess total scams. Like if you were genuine you'd just look and be your regular self and let your message speak for itself.
Its remminds me to that time Orson Wells faked being sorry about the whole wars of worlds thing, the guy pourposly didn't have any sleep to look tired and had tons of cigarrets to sound raspy. Thats how a good actor make himself look desperate and hopeless
Imagine waking up one day and being like "ima tell evryone I have cancer" like wtf is going thru peoples heads
It was insane when people were like, how are you and chemo and have a full head of hair, she was just like "vitamins 🥰🥰" Anyone who has experienced chemo or has watched a loved one undergo chemo should call bullshit on that immediately
when my mum was going through chemo she maintained a whole head of hair. She did loser her eyelashes, and a small amount of her eyebrows, but still had all her hair.
Not defending this absolute psychopath, but you can go through your rounds of treatment with a lot of hair still, it's not a universal side effect. The biggest red flag with this woman is that she just looks... fine. People going through chemo, hair or otherwise, look absolutely awful for what it does to their bodies.
@@MusicWithMatt13 Exactly, all pharmaceuticals affect people differently. The interaction between a drug and a person’s body can be as unique as a fingerprint. There’s common symptoms and rare symptoms with everything, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to get all/some/none of those.
“She also made a goFundMe” there we go that’s why
Bro 3:10 the Eldridge police department caught me off guard like what do the chase after Cathulu or something ahahah
"911 what's your emergency ?"
"There's a fking 5th dimensional god on property!"
my mom had cancer a few years back and this just pisses me off
