That’s unfortunate, umkay, but it’s really your own fault. Just post your quadriplegic certificate and let us review it, and we can put these unfortunate rumors to rest. Er… of course, it needs to be the long-form certificate. If you won’t do that, people will wonder. ---

> [@Girl\_Next\_Door](#): > > Hmmm. I’m starting to waver on this. I think I may have been duped. Yeah, that would be the right conclusion. Me too! Many of us! Amazing how many people “knew” all along but didn’t voice their suspicions. I fully admit I gushed over her and was so amazed by her story I told my husband about her. Ah, well. It was a fascinating learning experience about quadriplegia as well as psychology and Munchausen’s by proxy (server). Read the pit thread… ---

Dear **umkay** , you know I have defended you in pretty much all of the ongoing threads, but this looks pretty bad. I still very much wish you are real, it’s just a little hard to believe over the evidence that is now a bit more than circumstantial. Do stick around and post and stuff if you are, but it looks like the cynics may have been right… ---

Hey **umkay** I got another question. Are you Chloe Jennings-White? ---

Its a joke in case she is reading this. Chloe Jennings-White is a lady that just had a show on National Geo called Taboo, that wishes to be paralyzed but is not. Lives a life in a wheelchair but does not need to. And has even sought out doctors to sever her spinal cord. ---
