Tik Toker ARRESTED for FAKING CANCER... (I'm serious) 

I am a children’s oncology nurse and this gives me so much rage, if she witnessed just one day of what these poor children go through, she wouldn’t be wishing for cancer .

that tiktok of her story sounds like a highschool english presentation, talking about her traumatic cancer experience the same way she summaries the plot of catcher in the rye

This is infuriating because I lost my best friend to cancer at 17 and I saw how much it took out of her even when she tried to stay positive.

I worked with blood cancer patients for years, pancreatic cancer CANNOT SPREAD into ALL its a different morphology. It’s possible to have metastases and you can have concurrent SEPERATE cancers but what she described just cannot happen. The amount of people that I have seen keep fighting while they still get sicker and she uses this for attention is gross.

People like her are the reason people with invisible illness get told their lying and attention seeking, "if their faking you must be too"

Long time silent viewer here and while I don’t have something as serious as cancer, I did get diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 19. I’m only half way through your video but it’s infuriating hearing a story like this. Myself and so many others struggle with the set backs that chronic illnesses cause and someone wanting to fake that exhausting experience is a slap in the face to what we go through everyday

Faking cancer is so gross. The pain is excruciating and the attention isn’t worth it. Some motor functions have completely been messed with and it’s frustrating. People need to stop.

Oh God, I hate how she is listing all these things that she's allegedly "accomplished" while supposedly having to go through chemotherapy. It's like a big f*ck you to anyone that legitimately is going through chemotherapy especially because when going through chemo so many people struggle to just get out of bed., let alone getting a *alleged* 3.9 GPA. Oh and somehow keeping her long shiny hair due to a vitamin, can she get anymore idiotic. I hope she gets everything she truly deserves.

Notice how that brunette girl is almost like, SMILING or grinning as she retells her 100% true story about being diagnosed? The whole video just creeped me out…

This is sick. I actually have no words for how absolutely disgusting this is

this girl taking the victim complex to a whole new level lmao

Hearing her use the term “football-sized tumor” when referring to her fake cancer made me so upset and angry. I had a childhood friend that was diagnosed with cancer and I’ll never forget the first time I heard my mom tell me that my friend had a football-sized tumor in her stomach. She passed away in 2012 when we were 11, and I watched her fight for years. The fact that this woman FAKED something so serious and heartbreaking honestly makes me sick to my stomach.

She wasn’t even willing to shave her head to keep up with the lie lol biotin??? BIOTIN? Or at least say it’s a wig.

Oh she's sick alright. Just not PHYSICALLY sick.

**Please like so angelica sees this**. Girl please move your filming location because as a fellow londoner I can guess where you live by the houses. STAY SAFE :((((

My dad has cancer and it’s so scary. It used to piss me off when people lied about having a serious illness… now it REALLY pisses me off. Thanks for the video!

her tiktok sounds like a highschool drama monolouge that was graded maybe a b at best

In school when I was like 17, a friend in our group pretended to have a brain tumour/cancer and basically said she had a few months to live and told us not to tell anyone. Obviously we told our parents because we were all upset that our friend was going to die. Basically long story short she went on with the story for a good few months. Then after half term we saw her drinking at a party and we were obviously concerned because she told us she couldn’t due to the cancer. When we asked her about it she said “oh I had brain surgery during the week of half term and I’m cured now” with her full head of hair intact. Obviously we all cut ties with her and she still alive and well today, was crazy!

✨A L L E G E D L Y ✨👀

Lost my dad in Jan to brain cancer, glioblastoma, it slowly ate away at his mind until he passed. You don’t want this - and you don’t deserve the attention. These people disgust me. Edit- just wanted to say he survived 3 years against all odds, a crazy small percentage reaches that. I’m so proud of you dad.

“I am so much more than these awful diseases” … “I will continue to thrive” OMG she’s so crazy and horrible. I can’t imagine. I haven’t finished yet but like wtf does her family think?! Friends?! Classmates?! Like wtf.

As someone who had leukemia as a child this story really struck a nerve

My mom is going through chemo right now due to her lymphoma returning. It takes a truly awful and disturbed person to fake having cancer and fake going through treatment for it.

Her not losing her hair would have been the biggest red flag for me. I didn’t have cancer but was hospitalized with a bad infection and went septic. I had 9 surgeries total and spent 3 months in the hospital, this included 10 days intubation in the ICU. Exactly at the 3 month mark my hair started falling out by the handful. Nothing was going to stop it, and in total I lost about 3/4 of my hair. When you go through something that puts a lot of stress on your body, especially when you are taking certain medications like chemo or in my case the anesthesia drugs used for my surgeries. There is nothing you can do to stop the hair loss it just happens so right there that should have been a major red flag. I had to cut what hair was left from the small of my back to being 1 inch long because I looked like a chemo patient and even then it was so thin i had to wear caps until my hair started to grow back. 3 years later my hair is still no where as thick as it use to be.

I watch your videos too much because I say allegedly every time I'm spilling tea with my friends 😂 it's a main part of my vocabulary at this point 😂

people who fake diseases piss me off lol, I got really sick a few years ago and this person I know got really obsessed with me and started telling their family that they had all of the same problems as me, and when I found out, they tried to do a call out post about me on Facebook. thankfully no one was really swayed by it but I was (still am!) very sick and dealing with that stress was a LOT lmao.

I got my cancer diagnosis in may of 2020, and I must say it's insane to sit and listen to someone who (allegedly) never have had treatment, describe a pain that feels so personal to me. Luckily, I am now cancer free, but this video had me fuming. I hope she never experiences cancer for real, but knowing that up to 50% of the population will, she is doomed to come across it sometime in her life. The way she is proud of her GPA despite having cancer also rubs me the wrong way as I had to quit my studies and haven't had the energy to pick them back up, even if it's been almost 3 years since my point of diagnosis. Disgusting. Edit: Okay, I'm sorry but taking biotin to keep your hair when the whole point of chemotherapy is to destroy your cells? It baffles me that anybody managed to believe her. Sorry for waffling, but I'm fuming.

I have no medical training or education but I was immediately skeptical when she mentioned pancreatic cancer. That's famously one of the most deadly and aggressive forms of cancer, and my heart goes out to anyone who actually has it

This girl, I can’t. What could she possibly get out of this?!?! Like whyyyyy?!?! I don’t get it. I have my own health issues and my meds cost A LOT, but the last thing I want people to know is that I’m sick. So gross. I hope she gets what she deserves. I feel those that looked up to her and her health journey.

It's crazy because i've been watching you for forever and this girl goes to my college. I can't believe this story got so big and so many people know about it. It's so unfortunate because i've heard that she was honestly such a nice girl which is why it was such a shock to find out she's been faking it the whole time

Such an emotional speech she gave... really every word. Why is she looking to the side every so often? Must be the lightening. And why other people going through cancer just haven't used biotin as to not loose their hair?? Mind-blowing honestly and the audacity of that girl. Disgusting.

If she actually has type 1 diabetes, our community does not claim her 🫠 this is baffling

I have lost 2 loved ones very suddenly to pancreatic cancer since 2020, so the fact that she weaponised that cancer for her personal agenda hurts all the more. There are very real issues in cancer research and awareness both in more general terms, but also within the cancer whereby certain cancers receive far more attention and funding than others despite having far higher survival rates, but now it feels like that message is tainted and that makes me sad. It truly is a horrible, quick and violent disease and my thoughts are with anyone who is actually dealing with it currently.

She certainly doesn’t look sick. Didn’t anyone in her family realize what she was doing? I’m glad they caught her and hopefully she will get some jail time. This will give her time to think about her decisions.😢

I will never underestimate people's ability to be terrible, which is why I spend most of my time with my animals 👍🤠

Really? That many rounds of chimo and she still has that luscious hair? Nah I have a friend that had cancer and after 3 rounds he started to lose chunks of hair and thats when he saved it. And the fact that she kept looking at her scripted speech 🙄

While I don’t have cancer, I have several invisible chronic illnesses and it’s infuriating to see people do this. I have to fight with my uni’s ADA in order to get accommodations and people like Maddie are making it much harder to actually get the help that we need. Thank you for making this video!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted by something an influencer has done. What a horrendous individual. I have no words

Honestly even just the way she talked about it was red flag city, I've never heard someone actually going through cancer talk about themselves that way, "I'm so strong, I'm so great with all these internships, my GPA" etc etc

The title asdfghjkl. I looked at the title and was like are you serious. I can’t believe people would actually lie about those kinda things. My dad died because of cancer, and let me tell you it was not fun at all. :/

Despite having lost “only” a distant family member to cancer, it’s still really painful to know the pain that member had to go through for years. I couldn’t imagine what that family member would’ve thought if she were alive and came across some disrespectful girl lying about having the very thing destroying her life and stealing her from her kids and husband. This isn’t just infuriating it’s wrong on so many levels.

God people need to grow up from the teenage need to feel special STAT, this is infuriating and so tiresome. Social media has done so much damage to humanity's collective psyche it is exhausting.

This whole thing is so horrible, what really gets me is first of all her saying all the things she's going to achieve, when people who actually have terminal illnesses may not. Secondly, pretending biotin(?!?) of all things is going to stop people losing their hair?? Losing your hair due to treatment is already hard enough without someone giving you hope a little supplement is going to help. I'm not in the medical field but the only thing I've ever seen work to prevent hair loss during chemo is wearing a type of ice/cold cap on your head... At least lie properly if you're going to lie...

That first TikTok though is soooo true. Mental health for people with chronic illnesses/diseases is so hard and just looking at someone won’t tell you how healthy they are. She would have fooled me!

She’s from my hometown!!! I have type 1 diabetes and ACTUALLY got diagnosed with cancer last year. Her gfm was shared around by our mutuals and I’m so glad I didn’t fall victim to it. It breaks my heart that she faked real issues that some of us actually suffer from. This feels like such a slap in the face.

“Obviously when I’m older I want to be a mom someday” I hope for the sake of those undeveloped fetuses she NEVER brings any humans into this world.

I try not to see people as all good or all bad and believe most people deserve the opportunity for redemption… I can’t with this one. I think this one’s beyond repair.

Oh absolutely NOT. I have a laundry list of diagnoses, ehlers-danlos syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, adhd, autism, I need a spinal fusion. I take a handful of medications for breakfast, I deal with chronic pain every day. Don't. Fucking. Lie. About. Being.Sick. My mother, too, has had two kidney transplants, breast cancer, lost her peripheral vision. Lemme tell you, the call is a shock for SURE. But the call isn't the worst day with cancer. Cancer treatment is r o u g h and whether you loose your hair how people 'typically expect' or not, it absolutely changes the colour texture and length your hair will go to. Cancer treatment takes e v e r y t h i n g you have just to wake up each day. The treatment is essentially throwing poison at you and hoping the cancer dies before you do. Additionally, cancer /can and does/ metastitise or 'spread' but it does not spread to the 'blood' as she's phrased it. According to health line more than half of patience with primary pancreatic cancer has it spread to their lymphnodes causing non-hodgkins lympthoma called diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia is incredibly aggressive with a 5 year survival rate for All as a little over half, with adults dramatically less statistically likely to survive at 30-40%, while children an average of 90% . ALL is classified into two main types, Lymphocytes which are used in fighting viral infections, and neutrophils which help fight bacteria protect from parasites and prevent the spread of tissue damage and breakdown. The cause of this type of lukaemia is a DNA malfunction, it can be caused post-natal by over-exposure to radiation, however it's estimated that the level of radiation required to cause it would need to be arbout the amount released during the Nclear reactor accident at Chernobyl. The National pancreatic Cancer foundation put out a PSA saying Russo was never in contact, never spoke at any events, nothing. I am so freaking angry about this. So angry. I have conditions that people have never heard of, constantly tell me I'm faking or lying, that I don't need the treatment I need (that i'm going to have to pay for because the NHS just wont do it for any of us with EDS as a comobridity) and this woman is just....lying. Fuck. Sake.

the way you can see her reading the script too

mate you have me so angry so early in the morning lol

Seriously though, how long did she think that through for??

Anyone who would fake an illness for attention or clout is disgusting. So many people live with real chronic illness everyday and they fight to be normal they dont go around advertising their illnesses.

my father had stage 4 cancer (he’s in remission and has been for almost five years now) whenever i hear about people faking cancer it makes me feel physically sick and so angry. my dad was so embarrassed to lose his hair. it’s grown back now, but he actually saw this woman on the tiktok i think (before it came out that she was lying) and was so confused as to what he was doing wrong when he was going through chemotherapy because he was balding, he was thin and frail, he was weak and tired all the time. he still struggles to look at pictures from when he was in treatment. i’m so proud of my dad for getting through it. i almost wish i could punch this woman in the face, but i know that wouldn’t be of any help.

As someone w chronic illness who follows a few chronically I’ll creators, the major red flag in her content is centering how much YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT HER to be sick GASP! All the other creators I follow with real chronic illnesses show what their normal is. Not try to prove that even though they LOOK normal they’re NOT.

It seems she didn't do her homework. She claimed to be getting egg retrieval AFTER chemo, this is incorrect. 🤦🏽‍♀️

5:43 her video is so creepy. It’s like she’s filming a speech for an online speech class. Also, as someone with 2 autoimmune diseases, I’ve never heard someone tell their “story” like this… peppering in all these crappy “lessons”

I just wanted to say that this is my comfort channel and I am sure that a lot of other people think the same way

I’m sorry but that first tik tok had me DYING to know the full story

I've lost both of my parents to cancer...I've lived with them during the illness and during last minutes.. and i have no words for this. It's just awful. Thank you Angelica, for your calm reporting :) Love from slovenia.

Is no one going to talk about how she was spilling her brothers medical business. I cant stand people who do that. Even if its your own kid, people need to stop sharing private details of others just so they have something to talk about. Sorry this is a rant lol.

This is heart breaking. I have lost SEVERAL family members to cancer and several friends have had cancer and I'm so angry she lied about all this.

this happened recently in my hometown - a girl faked cancer and had a ton of donations sent to her edit: i did research and it turns out this is the same girl from my hometown

Get your blood work done! It's not your answers to all but it does cover a lot. I do mine every two years or when necessary.

I'm not even kidding she needs to go to jail. Dead serious. People who lie about having CANCERRR??? JAIL.

She looks like she’s reading off a script (the side eye glances)

I’ve lost quite a few family members to cancer and my niece has a tumor in her brain. For her to lie about something that rocks families to their core is disgusting and infuriating. This triggered me more than I thought it would, but thank you for shining your light on her and folks like her.

I was diagnosed at 17 with Fibromyalgia and recently found at I am high risk for Breast, Thyroid, and Colon Cancer after having surgery to remove a thankfully benign tumor in my femur. Seeing this girl lying about having cancer and trying to get sympathy and peoples money hurts my heart. Personally I never wanted sympathy for an illness I have, I hate being pitied. I am a fighter and no matter how much pain I’m in, I rather work my hardest to show strength when I am still struggling. One of my proudest moments was being able to do a weekend hiking event at my university only 2 months after surgery in the snow and struggling to walk. That being said. This girl lying for “clout” is essentially making it hard for people to believe people like me who have invisible illnesses.

My wife’s best friend in high school faked having cancer for almost a year and duped everyone. Not even her parents knew. I dated a guy in high school that was diagnosed with leukemia right after we started dating and watched and experienced how horrific it can be to people and their families and I have NO idea why people would JOKE about something so emotionally and physically painful.

The one and only thing this horrible girl got right is getting your check ups. My moms breast cancer was found during a routine mammogram basically in the earliest stages but she still had to go through nearly 3 months of radiation, the cost and mental/psychical toll it took on her was pretty devastating and her form/stage of cancer was technically “invisible, she’s doing much better now but can be considered in remission until after shes off her meds without the cancer returning. People who fake these illnesses are the reason my mom was barely able to get time off of work to go to her radiation treatments, seriously I hope she’s in jail for as long as possible. This lie has real impacts to people who actually hav cancer

I lost a childhood friend of mine to cancer a month after she turned twenty. She was fighting for years, but was informed that it had spread-stomach to head to chest. I can’t wrap my head around lying about having an illness to begin with, let alone something as serious as cancer. Vile. I will never be able to forget how absolutely broken her parents were at her funeral. Her mother especially, losing all her strength-howling on the floor-having to be held up when lighting a candle… and later turned around and stood with her back facing the coffin getting lowered into the ground, silently crying. It’s heartbreaking. Then there’s this… it’s unfathomable that anyone can lie about it with a smile plastered on their face revealing zero guilt. Despicable.

Lol 50 rounds of radiation 😂 CMON!

Can you talk about the Brent Rivera thing ?

Wtf is going on with """"""influencers"""""" these days... who fakes cancer 😂😂 imma start asking for full health surveys before following people

If chemo patients could prevent hair loss with two supplements, I’m sure every single one of them would? 🙄

I usually am just a lurker but I recently got diagnosed with a rare genetic disease Alpha-1, as well as CFS from complications of having my liver start malfunctioning. I am 22 years old and was extremely active, never drank or smoke and ate healthy. My body no longer feels like my own and I am legally considered disabled. The clip in the beginning is so hard to watch because it's so accurate to how it feels to be sick when you don't obviously appear it, or have to fight through each day. I also am trying to finish out my college semester with a 3.8... it's just too similar to how I'm feeling and the fact that it is all fake is just so saddening. I don't know how to interact with people my own age because it's so hard to find others who understand or relate, so hearing from someone who seems to get it, but be lying about it, man that hits home to a dark place :( My heart goes out to all my fellow autoimmune folk, especially those who are dealing with it so young. ❤

I will never understand how these people can tell such career ending lies all while showing their faces. Madness

my mom died last year, on my may, pancreatic cancer.. she.. the cancer sucked the life out of her.. she'd cry in pain.. lost weight, tons of weight.. couldn't walk, sit up.. it's awful, and i miss her so bad.. will forever miss her! she's my mom.. you don't lie about having fucking cancer, what's wrong with you..

Angelika, you seem more 'bronzey' or ' summer kissed' today?!? I dont know why but its got me excited about my get-away plans this summer AND i get a drama video? Its a win win for me darling 💗🙌

When my husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year they made us pay for everything up front even if we didn’t owe because our max out of pocket was $7500. We spent 10-12K(they sent the overcharged money back after 8 months)in one month because they threatened to not do testing if we didn’t pay what they thought we would owe. My family helped us out but there were people crying in the oncologist’s office about how they were going bankrupt. I find it extra disgusting that she conned people out of money and now they might not be willing to help someone that actually has cancer. March 15th we get to see if my husband is still in remission and due to some symptoms we are really scared this year will be a repeat of last year. My husband was diagnosed at 44 which is rare for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and we had our kids pretty young so we will have our youngest going to Georgia tech this year. Our eldest is doing online college because of her immune system issues.

Menstruating folks keep up on your paps and/or significant changes in hormones, cycles, and physical changes. Body charts of your moles are the one free preventive measure to give you a little peace of mind.

It looks like she’s reading off notes in her video. Every few seconds she looks off to the side. A script for a lie…not surprising at all.

She could have just said "oh, it's a wig" but no, she had to make herself seem special and above other "sick" people. Disgusting and abhorrent behavior.

I know she's lying but i will say this, not all chemo medications have the same side effects. Some of the meds are more likely to cause hair loss than others, some are more likely to cause sickness, etc. That being said, im presuming pancreatic cancer treatment would be particularly aggressive and would cause a lot of the more classic side effects??? It's a mental situation either way...

absolutely fucking insane. no matter what type of chemo treatments you go through, you WILL lose your hair (my grandmother had lymph node and ovarian cancer). the fact that this woman wants to have cancer for clout is disgusting. hope she rots in hell

Let me tell you, its actually disgusting to see someone like her wishing for cancer, despite the disease being very dangerous and have killed way too many people already. My grandpa died because of lung cancer when I was only 2 months old, meaning that he never got to meet my little brother.

"Obviously I want to have kids" how is that Obviously? Bc she's a woman? Man she loves her stereotypes

former nurse over here, 50 rounds of radiation? plus all that chemo and not a hint of a side effect. oral chemo is very low dosage and she's claiming tons of treatment. im out of the game 10 years and id be extremly suspicious of her

They should have given her a punishment of 5 years to volunteer to assist with real cancer patients. This is so sad. Why???

Thankyou for calling this out!! Can’t watch it because i had cancer 2 years ago and deal with those repercussions daily so it just makes me mad and sad. Commenting for engagement though ❤

Her using “etcetera” in her monologue about potentially dying soon should’ve been a red flag

Lying about cancer isn’t cute! My step grandfather died of bone cancer and my mamaw beat breast cancer.. but for Maddie to fake this really ticks me off! The nerve of her!😖😖😖

Life IS NOT a college admissions essay. Lol, why lie about this?

Her monotone, emotionless reading of the script that she is clearly glancing over at constantly, is so infuriating.

The brunette girl is literally reading everything 😭 if you are going to lie like that at least learn what you are going to say so you don't have to read it

Wow. I have multiple invisible illness’ and struggle every freaking day. Have for years and years, especially with the mental health repercussions of these illness’. My mum was also recently diagnosed with breast cancer - goes for her double mastectomy very soon.. People like this are foul. Why you would wish any kind of illness on yourself or anyone else is beyond me.. and to lie about it 🤮 if only she knew what it was like to really struggle. Gross!!!

My braincells have depleted and so has my small, so very small, hope in humanity...Like, wtf?! edit: Also, ahahahaha, my grandma died of pancreatic cancer when I was 7. Also family and family friends have either had cancer and gone through remission (thank the gods above) or died (she was like my second mom really) so this is bringing back some repressed memories and feelings. Man, my blood is boiling now

Know that we know shes lying her whole soliloquy sounds like a campaign speech

The way she had her whole story typed up and kept looking at it too. Most scripted sounding shit ever

How did people not know something was wrong with her story? At around 3:50 that she got the call from her oncologist tell her that she had stage 2 cancer. Why would you already have an oncologist if you didn't already know you have cancer? That health check would be done by a PCP and only after confirming that she actually had cancer, then she would get the referral to an oncologist, not the other way around. Her story wasn't even solid from the very beginning.

the biotin lie is so stupid it made me laugh like just wear a wig or pretend like you are, like if you are going to lie about something like this at least stick to the bit
