I have a cousin who is just like this. When I phoned her brother to ask if she really had a blood cancer and had only 6 months to live I apologised for checking it with him to verify it. He said "don't worry, this isn't the first time she's been dying". A complete liar.

She obviously needed a ton of attention as well. I don't know how much we in the public are entitled to know (nothing is my guess), but I'm interested in learning what her childhood was like. Shamanda might write a memoir, but 1) I don't want her to earn another cent off of her lies and 2) I wouldn't trust a word she said, so that would be useless to me.

I lost my husband to cancer 7 1/2 years ago, and quickly realized after he became sick that the American Cancer Society doesn't actually do much for cancer patients. They raise a lot of money for "research", but not much for actual cancer patients. Sadly, this is why I never participate in Relay for Life, though I would love to honor him and other loved ones who have been lost to cancer in such a way. I do love St. Jude's for that reason since they do so much for the families of children who are going through this terrible disease.

From what I remember, the American Cancer Society would help with a little gas money if you have to travel for doctor's appts, and maybe provide a few nights in a hotel. It's staggering how expensive cancer treatment costs, so it's very frustrating that the biggest, well-known, non-profit takes in so much money without providing much financial support to those who need the help.

What? Curing cancer would help actual patients an awful lot. Research-based treatments available in hospitals have saved, prolonged life, and increased comfort for millions and millions of human beings. St. Jude only exists to provide free research-based care BECAUSE of all the people who donated to the ACA to create the care St. Jude uses.

One of my childhood best friends, her mother faked her cancer too. I recently found that out it was fake. I wasn't surprised by some red flags in the past. Makes me sick. We were kids and distraught. She had us help her painfully shave her hair, sit out in the car while she was "getting chemo". I will never understand.

I have cancer and diagnosed 6 years ago. When people do this, it is absolutely disgusting and to just see the evil and low people will do. For those of us who have this our options are “refinance your house so you can live, or pay out of pocket” it’s sad.

And the idea that you can be the one behind raising money and self-advocating and posting is also so far-fetched. Cancer treatment is also about palliative care long before it might be JUST about palliative. Like, if a tumor is pushing on nerves, it can be incredibly painful. You might get nerve pain or muscle spasms and need medication for that. Those meds will make you so sleepy and affect your thinking. A lot of them cause dry mouth. How can you post vlogs/blogs plus manage your disease (Amanda seemed really on top of things) if you are in chemo plus these other drugs? Speaking from experience (I have benign tumors that "act like" cancer), sometimes I cannot speak for the pain, and other times the meds make my fingers sort of twitch (esp near bedtime) and I sort of forcefully spin my phone into the air, 😂! I also fall asleep. I still tutor a bit and it took me three hours to write my student's report and look for links for her and I did NOT complete the last. Instead, I fell asleep on my toothpaste (for unrelated reasons I am in a hospital bed right now) and woke up with a dead phone and toothpaste on my back and sheets. How can a hot mess like me post like this AND look pretty AND handle that travel? Gross that she got free trips to NYC from CALIFORNIA and went to see shows. Can you imagine going out to a crowded place and being in a theater with that pounding noise and bright lights after a treatment? I have received cell treatments and they really didn't make me feel any different, but it was exhausting just going to the hospital and getting the IV (I am a tough poke) and having to wait for two hours for the vitals checks bc it was a clinical trial originally allowed for me by compassionate care bc there is not cure for my tumors. It wasn't a big deal for me, BUT, Amanda was saying she had stage 4 lymphoma. I imagine that that would be very painful and exhausting? It sounds awful! But she is having a whirlwind of Make-a-Wish trips funded by kind-hearted fellow worshipers from her mega church. She is the worst 🤮.

The Scamanda podcast is such a great listen. So glad you are covering this!

My daughters monster in law pulled a similar stunt she started claiming to her children and friends that she had been diagnosed with bladder cancer and went as far as calling her grown children together to plan out her funeral even going so far as to discuss with them exactly what she what wanted to be buried in as as they are crying and struggling to come to terms with the fact that not only was their Mother going to die but she was going to die in her early 50’s and all this was drug out for weeks and then she calls them together again then she starts laughing and told them it was all a joke. I was just like who does that??? My own Mother had died from Breast cancer and I think anyone who lies jokes or swindles others in any manner much less faking cancer should really have to suffer and die of the same fate. Cancer is a horrific diagnosis to receive and it is no joke and to scam people by using something like that might cause a person not to want to donate the next time to someone who really needs it…

I have studied narcissism extensively. I was married to a sociopathic narcissist and was determined to figure out why they say and do the things they do. Psychiatrists admit that it's almost impossible to treat these narcissists. Because they will tell you what you want to hear, thus you can't work with them. They are that good at fooling people. They fully take advantage of genuinely honest people. I believe narcissists absolutely believe their own lies. I am convinced they have a mental illness. I've come to that conclusion with my research and many doctors conclude too, that sociopathic narcissism is incurable. Amanda will go right back to what she knows how to do.

It was incredibly Oscar worthy. She was seeking attention and a bizarre type of sympathy. Sadly, she died of a rare cancer a few years later. Big funeral attendance - she was known to be a great friend and person. Smh. She fooled them all.

I found it hard to accept that people were so unsupportive of Alita. In her shoes I would be very bitter for the way I was treated and the time I lost with my daughter due to that hideous liar. I’d have wanted to knock Amanda out every time she used the term ‘bonus daughter’. I can’t believe Amanda’s supporters were so naive for so long. Fair enough at first, but there were so many red flags the longer it went on. For a start, how could anyone supposedly going through so many treatments remain looking so fresh and healthy? The continuing revenue raising alone over several years would have made me suspicious. I know that I would have voiced my doubts and most likely created enemies, whereas so many people in this story said nothing, even when they were suspicious. Church people must be very easy to dupe, that’s all I can say, especially the people in this story who still believe her despite her being found guilty and even admitting her guilt. Don’t they ask themselves if she was terminally ill, how is she still alive? Thank goodness Nancy smelt a rat and tenaciously pursued the truth. There were lots of times when I was listening to this podcast that I was reminded of Meghan Markle. Her constant lying, her ‘charming’ but ruthless pursuit of what she wanted and her nastiness to anyone who wasn’t useful to her were all the traits of a narcissist. Anyway, this is a fascinating story that serves as a warning to be on your guard for con artists.

Dont you think this story a ctually legitimizes people who really do have cancer? Its just that the immediate response may be delayed until people vet and verify the stories people tell. That is both safe and reasonable.

I nursed my mother through the last two years of her ten-year illness with Breast Cancer. I was 23 when she died but, by the end, I knew about all the drugs, all the treatments, all the procedures, doctor’s names, hospital procedures, etc. When you are the primary caregiver to a seriously ill person, it becomes your whole life. So, I’m not surprised that Amanda could appear to be a cancer patient when she was not.

As someone who has a terminal chronic illness (not cancer) and spends months in the hospital away from my husband and son, we have never received any kind of financial or otherwise support. Not that it hasn't been offered, but we never felt 100% okay with accepting funds/gifts., talk about a slap in the face to see someone perfectly healthy be so greedy, so dishonest and so, so selfish! What an absolutely terrible thing to do - and it just hurts further patients or families who may actually NEED (and qualify) for this kind of support.

We were celebrating the impending birth of our fourth grandson one minute, and sitting in front of a doctor telling us he had cancer the next.

Feminism is stupidity

As a cancer survivor myself it infuriates me to think that someone would lie about having this insidious disease! I was diagnosed with stage 2 Renal Carcinoma in the beginning of the pandemic. After being told multiple times that the tumor was not growing and was still in the early stages they sent me home and booked a CT scan for 3 months ... it had grown double it's original size. I was sent home again with the same crap story and come back in 2 months this time. It had grown again. He started to say come back and I stopped him and asked for a new surgeon because I was in a lot of discomfort when I peed or bent over, plus I had lost 65 pounds in those 5 months. I remember the surgeon saying how great I looked since losing weight. I said I have fuc*ing cancer and I want to see someone who actually gives a shit if I live or die. He said there are no other surgeons and not one bed due to covid patients taking them all. He told me if I did not calm down he would call the police and have me removed from the hospital. I said fine! I'll be calling the local news as well to let them know my situation. I finally got a new surgeon who did a biopsy, MRI and another CT scan. I was in surgery 2 days later getting my right kidney removed. He said if I had not advocated for myself I would not be here. So how any person could lie about cancer and all the stress and anxiety and fear that comes with it baffles my mind. I don't wish this disease upon anyone ... but I truly hope this woman gets what she deserves!

As someone with stage 4 NSCLC with Mets to my brain at 54,, a 23 year old non verbal son with autism and these stories drive me crazy. I sure could use help but people like this screw things up for people like me. Just like the pill addicts messed up pain medicine treatments for people like me. This is why we can't have nice things.

We as a family are always on edge. Now sister recently went through Colon cancer! A nasty disease! Then people have the nerve to fake it. Not cool!

I worked with a girl who scammed our town and her college that she had cancer. Shaved her head, the whole bit. And supposedly her parents had no clue it was fake.

As a breast cancer survivor I find Amanda abhorrent. It's a horrible disease that has long lasting effects, I have to live with only 1 breast but at least I'm alive.

I didn't go on any funding site.

I’m so glad to finally vent a story very similar to this. We were living in Maine in the early 90’s. We were in our 30 s and we had some friends in Brunswick, Maine that were in their earlyish 60s. They belonged to a church group and they knew this gal that was our age that they knew for a few years. I can’t remember her name even though she was such a violator. Anyway, my friend Alyce gets me involved with this friend of hers because she’s a “real introvert” and more your age and she has cancer……had the whole chemo port and everything. Long story short, she had been embezzling for the Maine forest service where she worked, conned all the nice church folks out of money and lots of my time and effort…….the forest service didn’t prosecute her for some unknown reason because it was like $200,000 plus from them and that was because she high tailed it to Alaska. I asked my friend Alyce “arent you pissed that we were conned like that?” And she said “well, she probably needs our sympathy and prayers now more than ever”. I was young and dumb enough to buy her answer but NOW that I’m older it was a lot for Alyce to involve ME because it was a lot of time on my part when I didn’t really have time and money at that age PLUS….my friend Alyce was a multi millionaire that could afford being out a few hundred bucks. I’ve always actually always been more disappointed in my friend Alyce who roped me in.

My own brother went to prison for several years because he scammed people into believing he had testicular cancer. I never fell for his ruse, but he held a huge fund raising galla and people gave him ~$300,000 for treatment. I wanted the name of his doctor and he would never tell me. This was circa 2016.

It was a really hard time for about 6 months or so. Coincidentally, my mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer a month before me. We actually sat in chemo chairs next to each other one time. Some of my friends had some meals made for my family but I received NO other help. I had small children and my husband stepped up in a big way. I lost over 6 months income and it was a struggle that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy but it helped to build character in me. I am completely cured (so is my mom) but I still have the scar on my chest from my port to remind me.

Great work and show Megan. Nailed it.

I just found out today I have lung and colon cancer. Still very early in treatment. Lost my husband in September. But I’m a survivor. That’s why this caught my eye. Tough road ahead but I’ll fight it with all I have

Excellent show, thank you!

🎉Thank you Megyn for bringing us Truth!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩

Thanks for sharing:)

Wow, a lady did this in our area too!

Excellent, Megyn. You have a beautiful voice that is easy on the ears. This interview with Charlie was fascinating. Thank you for no interruptions and for allowing your guest (s) time to speak.

Very good show and interview. You're the best Megyn. Keep it going

I did once have chemical burns when once at a duty station with no idea what I may have come into contact with and I was later told by others that I made it up because thanks to immediate care on base I was put on light duty and it virtually disappeared after three days excepting some discoloration that lasted longer. So when I returned to home station I was ridiculed and chastised because of no communication for a while and told by family members that I was a liar and trying to get sympathy when in fact I was quite relieved and happy that medical personnel were immediately available at the relatively small duty station and it did not require trying to travel or be transported. But these things are not thought about by the bulk of the public anyway.

When are you going to do a Sound of Freedom interview?

So many people have lost loved ones to cancer, or have survived cancer that their hearts are very open to helping other cancer patients. Even if there is a legitimate diagnosis, when these patients find out Friends, neighbors, and church members are more than willing to help With money, babysitting, and chores there is a “certain type of person” that will take advantage of that. Not that it’s wrong to accept help but often times they accept help when it is not legitimate.

I listened to this, and it is amazing.

I worked with a nurse 40 years ago that was contaminating her urine specimens with fecal material. Eventually ending up with a catheter in which she introduced feces into her bladder through catheter, Was hospitalized with an IV. We found her in bathroom disconnecting her IV and letting herself bleed out through tubing so her bloodcount would be low. This was just prior to her going to surgery for exploratory gyn surgery. I've always wondered what became of her.

This happened at my work several years ago. One of the nurses claimed she had cancer. Some of the nurses were having yard sales for her etc. One time I guess one of the nurses gave her some kind injection while at work. She didn't know what it was. I'm sure this happens more than we know.

I join here every night (10pm my time) to watch this - Ireland we love you and we love America

It’s so sad that these people take advantage of vulnerable people looking for comfort. Just like Tiffany Thinks who sells merch and had stage 4 cancer, had surgery, is now cancer free, and goes on vacations with NO job -with people’s money! We need to expose these people. Living her best life while true cancer patients are struggling.

You are amazing!

I have family members who have had cancer. My grandma survived ovarian cancer, and my step-grandmother survived breast cancer. My grandpa was in remission for bladder cancer but it has come back. He chose not to have surgery, because, if I know him, he’d be miserable with having to pee in a bag. Right now, he’s living his life and not worried. People like Amanda piss me off.

I love the way you call it like it is

OMG, what kind of person would do this? I have mental health issues that I deal with on a daily basis. She gives people like us a truly sick person a bad name.

Well done Megyn and Charlie 👏🏼👏🏼

I loved the podcast! Can’t wait for what comes next!

I listened to the podcast, I was hooked.

Great show Meg!

The podcast is riveting. Consumed an 8-hour road-trip today. Amanda is one figuratively sick individual.

Ananda could easily have posed as a research journalist under a fictitious name to interview people with cancr , support groups abd survivors. She made it her Job to know . I believe thats how she did it . Had she done it in her name people would have come out when she became publc. Being a blogger is basically anonymous

My husband passed away from brain cancer in 2006. My sister has had bladder cancer for several years and has had to have her bladder removed…she is now cancer free Praise God! Had a sweet family friend pass away this year of breast cancer. What Amanda did is horrible. I pray she repents and does not do this again.

"defrauding by deceit" should be a thing.

Great show megyn can't wait for tomorrow

Oh my word how very discusting it is so hard to wrap my head around the why? Love always Kelli

There is a real character crisis in America. Where do these people come from? How much of it is driven by gross consumerism, entitlement, and a plague of narcissism brought on by influencers and a culture of stars for role models.

Actually if she spoke about her fraud on the phone they could get her for wire fraud that way as well it’s not just computer and if they mailed her checks or cash they would get her on mail fraud.

When you said that we're not to the point of demanding a doctor's note for our employer to take off for a treatment, well that is EXACTLY what many employers demand because of people scamming the system. I've seen people abuse FMLA so bad that others later had trouble getting approval. Where I worked before, if you worked any day other than your scheduled day, it was OT regardless of the # of hours you worked, and Sunday was double time. One employee worked 4 day 10 hours a day schedule, got FMLA and never worked a single day they were scheduled for but worked the other 3 days. They got 50 hours pay for 30 hours work and only worked 3 days a week. After that 6 month period ran out it was next to impossible for anyone else to get approved.
