I’m pretty sure that I called that Julia Wendell was a grifter trying to make as much money as possible as soon as she came out saying that she thought she was Madeleine McCann, and lo and behold less than a week after DNA tests proved that she wasn’t, she’s announced that she’s started a fundraiser to help her ‘get back on her feet’.

Julia made the announcement on an Instagram account bearing her name, saying the following:

I am being met with vicious untrue statements and outright lies pertaining to my character.

I need to get back on my feet, I need to be able to get myself to a place where I can return to the work force and thrive in the career I choose. In order to do that I need support around me such as lawyers and professionals.

Most importantly, I really want to be happy and safe and work through all I was subjected to in youth and young adulthood.

Alongside this, I while in the States felt I had a reality shift in what I am most passionate about in life. I want to help people, and possibly go back to school. Getting me back on my feet will be the beginning of this.

But many people wrote me and they said that creating this would be very helpful for me and hopefully I can start working towards getting me on my feet where I can then make certain decisions for myself.

I may choose to retain some legal advice, which of course is costly. Every little helps, and will be so genuinely appreciated.

Support and help I have received over the last few days have been overwhelming and beautiful and I am so extremely grateful for each person who has reached out.

OK so she might need therapy – that makes sense because I think it’s fairly well documented that she’s claiming she was sexually abused as a child – but I don’t really get why she expects people to pay for her to get a lawyer? What does she need a lawyer for? Because people are going to try and sue her for making up that she was  Madeleine McCann? Kinda paradoxical right as nobody would even know who she was if she hadn’t done that in the first place!?

Completely weird flex from her and I think at this point she’s kinda proved that she can’t be trusted. There’s also the small matter of this weird psychic Dr Fia Johansson who’s been hanging out with her the last few weeks and exploiting her. Wonder what her cut in all this is?

Thankfully it seems like hardly anyone is fooling for this crxp, as at the time of writing the fundraiser had only mad about £200. Hopefully it stays that way.
