Summary

In 2018, an Australian woman decided to begin faking a late-stage ovarian cancer diagnosis to get attention. She went as far as shaving her head and losing weight to really sell the whole thing. Worst of all, she got her partner to put all of his savings into her “treatments” and accepted money from her giving community for a GoFundMe.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kenna Ray.

0:11.6

Thank you so much for joining me today.

0:13.4

And if you're new to the show, then welcome.

0:15.8

I am so happy to have you here.

0:17.2

I've got to say, doing my normal intro is getting harder and harder. I have really,

0:23.4

uh, barely any long space left. Check out this bump, you guys. Oh! Yeah, so I'm massive. And my baby

0:34.4

is massive. Uh, he is in the 95th percentile, 99th percent for head. Love that for me.

0:42.5

But anyway, guys, before we get into today's case, I wanted to let you know that this might be my last recording here for a while.

0:52.0

Although I started recording episodes to go up while I am on maternity leave last February.

1:00.5

So if all goes according to plan, there shouldn't be a week where I don't upload all I'm gone,

1:06.7

which is pretty cool. I don't know for sure if this will be my last episode. It's very possible by

1:11.8

the time this goes up, I'll already have had my baby or I will just be miserably waiting. So if

Instagram and TikTok, which is both Kendall Ray on YT, if you want to check in with me.

1:31.3

But I don't know. I might be here still next week. I don't want to just sit around and be

1:39.0

a heads up that all of a sudden next time you see me, I could look a lot different, and it might be a pre-recorded episode.

1:47.5

I wanted to thank all of you guys for the wonderfully supportive comments throughout this pregnancy.

1:52.5

It has meant the world to me. I don't, you know, take it lightly.

1:56.6

It's not lost on me, I guess I should say, how lucky I am to have all of these people across the world

2:04.8

that care about my well-being and have sent me supportive, kind messages throughout this pregnancy.

2:11.2

It really means a lot. I know that's something the majority of people don't have, so I feel very, very grateful.
