The tan is a felony offense that she needs to be charged for as well

My daughter fought cancer. She didn't ask for a single cent. She fought stage 3 cancer with dignity. I am so proud of her. She won her fight despite being allergic to chemo drugs and dealing with the reactions. This girl is disgusting

Both my parents died of pancreatic cancer. Maddie, you have no idea what harm you do to people who truly suffer.

I fought late-stage cancer after being diagnosed while pregnant and spent 9 months in the hospital away from my children. This woman should go to jail.

This angers me beyond words. I've had cancer 4 times & just had a brain tumor removed. I still have all of my hair except where the staples are. For someone to do something like this, has NO IDEA what it's like to have cancer. I would NEVER want someone to get this disease. It's awful physically & mentally.

I’m the paraplegic man at 9:13 in the video. This was the only time I’ve met her but I did send her some messages of encouragement, prior to and after meeting her. The community had lifted me up after my injury and I was just trying to do the same for what appeared to be a dire situation. I’m still shocked by it all😢

How anyone fell for those clearly cut clumps of hair, the tube not inserted into her stomach, or the fact the bag was full and the tube was empty is beyond me. Those tubes are always primed so that no air enters the stomach.

Social media is the breeding ground for narcissists 😒

I’ve seen this story before, but I’m always somehow surprised that she’s only 19. Her pictures make her look closer to 29.

The fact that other cancer fighters will have been watching her vids and wondering why they couldn’t do the things she could and Comparing themselves and thinking they weren’t as strong as her or something is so sad, she’s vile

Narcissist and sociopath. Period.

My mom has cancer. The fact that someone faked it is repulsive. It's an evil disease that takes lives, not a TikTok trend.

This is sad… but don’t judge cancer patients who don’t lose their hair. Not all cancer treatments cause hair loss. Not all chemotherapy drugs have hair loss as a possible side effect.

She’s a horrible person. The hair in the picture was so obviously cut. How did anyone believe her? How could she? I hope she gets all the negative consequences she deserves.

People like her are the reason why some people wouldn’t be willing to help those who really have cancer anymore

To see her cry, say "thank you for the prayers", talk at events etc leaves me speechless.. it's next level crazy. And with her nearly 4.0 GPA she was probably so proud to outsmart everyone. She probably believed she'd never get caught.

This girl is 19?!?!? I would’ve legit thought she was late 30s/early 40s if I hadn’t been told. All that scamming ppl must’ve really taken a tole on her.

As someone who lives with invisible illness and struggles with money it makes me sick

I used to work for the American Cancer Society in fundraising and people like Maddie are surprisingly common. I was really shocked by some of the stories my colleagues told me about scammers who they had encountered.

I’m a cancer survivor and this makes me beyond angry!!!!!! If she does get cancer I’m sure she won’t get much sympathy, especially from me. 👿

What’s worst is she gave thousands of cancer patient false hope. Truly evil

I knew her story was bs the moment she said she ran a 6k after going through her most recent round of chemo. I couldnt even walk down the hall from my cancer ward, i cried in frustration and angry that i could stand for 5 minutes.

My father passed away from stage 4 pancreatic cancer and went through so much. He was too sick to even get a port in to go through chemo and only lasted one day in hospice...this story pisses me off to no end!!

This really pisses me off! 😮 My dad passed away in 2017, 59 years old. He had cancer in his entire body. He went through all the treatments that he possibly could ❤

My mom always said dont pretend to have an illness. God will give it to you fr!! Shes wild for this

My son died of cancer at the age of 19. She absolutely sickens me, and I hope she spends her full 10 years in prison. She deserves more. How she could do what she did is incredible to me. How can she live with herself? I'll never understand.

this is disgusting. the amount of times I rolled my eyes because she has absolutely no idea what its like to have cancer. I had brain cancer for 18 years and I have been free from it for 2 years now. I have had 2 brain surgeries now, and i will forever need checkups incase things get worse again, not to mention the side effects wont ever go away. "the physical part but also the mental part" and "you can look at someone and not know what's going on inside" annoyed me so much because that is exactly what I struggle with. my life is defined by sickness and she's out here clout chasing for money.... disgusting. difficult to watch.

She is the reason why today when I see people asking for money at a traffic light instead of giving them something I roll up my window.

This is disgusting, I nearly lost one of my family members to cancer. This makes me lose faith in humanity

Anybody who really has cancer wouldn’t go flaunting it around like this, taking pictures and stuff. I lost someone from two types of cancer and they never told anyone. We had to hear this from the doctor. I didn’t even get to say goodbye while they were still alive. For this joke she made, one day she may actually end up with this disease and she’s SOL

I would NEVER tempt fate like this.

I know someone who faked cancer too. How any one could do that is beyond me. Attention is a disease

There’s no way her close family didn’t know about this. This is disgusting & I hope she gets thrown in jail.

I lost a friend who I considered a little brother to cancer when he was 19 years old. He spent most of his life battling cancer. This girl is beyond disgusting and deserves the worst! I hope she spends her life in prison.

Teach your kids to not be so desperate for attention that’s why we have so many adults like this

I hope she gets a ton of jail time. I was diagnosed 10 days after I turned 21. I've done 38 rounds of chemo and a stem cell transplant. I've had 2 ports and 2 central lines and tons of surgeries. I lost a pregnancy due to chemotherapy and then lost my fertility entirely. 2 years ago I relapsed and was told I had 2 weeks to live. (Thankfully, I'm still around after taking the harshest chemotherapy available) I've lost many friends during my journey and this story makes my blood absolutely boil. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, the things it does to a person and their family is indescribable. Why would anyone think it okay to do that...

This women is the reason why many who actually are fighting cancer, don't get the resources they need. I hope all cancer patients have a speedy recovery and don't have this creature speaking for them.

I CANNOT believe someone would do something like this… how was she able to speak those words.. disgusting

My mother died of cancer. This is sickening and I nearly cried.

now imagine if she ACTUALLY got cancer but nobody supported or believed her

I am an 11 year cancer survivor!! Stage 4 colorectal cancer!! I had 10 months of chemo and radiation!! I am beyond grateful to God for bringing me through! It’s hard everyday and I never asked for a penny! I just wanted to live!! As of 2024 I am still receiving bills from my treatment!! I am so disgusted with this woman I can’t finish this video!! Peace and love!!❤❤❤

How could she do this. My brother died from cancer. Lock her up. And throw away the key.

my bestfriend lost her battle to leukemia and this story angers me so much. she shared every horrible detail of her journey like maddie claimed to. she shared that she had gone thru menopause at 16 due to chemo, she shared every up and every down to show people what really happened but people like maddie get the attention and help that real cancer patients do not get. Addison Conely had cancer. SHE fought. Maddie never fought.

Social media is not just exposing people's twisted ways, it's actually worsening them. Leaving FB and Twitter was the best decision that I ever made for myself.

People like her make it harder for those who actually have cancer and need help.

I lost an incredible beautiful friend to pancreatic cancer last year. She was a a sister to me. Her husband and two wonderful children are still in shock as our many of us. Love you Lisa! 🙏😢💔

To me, what's terrible is that not only did she soil the legacy of the invisible illness community and actual ill people who may find themselves not believed due to her actions, but she also reinforced the idea that chronically/terminally ill/disabled people can perform a semblance of "normal life" if they try hard enough, if they put their head up and grind, if they stay positive, if they just do better. It's a terrible statement and one that has been told to us for ages to force us to be quiet and stop asking for accommodations or other help. It also aligns with the beliefs of some people that if we try hard enough and believe in ourselves/etc, the illness would leave our body, we'll get better etc, you know, the manifestation type of narrative.

As an actual cancer survivor of two different types of cancer at the same time. Also both stage 4. Both cancers and the cemo wrecked me. I lost all my hair and even worse my finger nails came off. I was so tired and in pain I couldn't even walk but this girl could do so much and have alot of energy with similar cancers as mine. I was literally inches of death. The cancers I had was lymphoma and leukemia and I had a tumor in my lymphoid the size of baseball on my neck. I was literally only 13 at the time. I saw and felt so many horrible things. I lost so many friends in the hospital when I was getting my treatments. I still have survivors guilt. I saw kids literally dying in front of my eyes and this girl was pretending to have cancer for clout and money. I'm so disgusted and shocked. :Edited for spelling and grammar

When I was doing chemo I could only get out of bed to throw up in the bathroom and back. Or to the infusion center for hydration. I never got on the internet for money. People like this woman spit in the face of the friends I made and lost while going through what she’s pretending to go through. This is disgusting.

My sister fought cancer for years..This vile scammer needs locking up for a long time.

As a former cancer patient,this is disgusting.She is greedy and that's what it comes down too.God please help her mentally 🙏

As a person who works in healthcare, I do not understand how she got so far and why her “port site” and “feeding tube” weren’t called into question immediately. The tubing was terrible and the tape over the “port” was nothing close to the real thing. For a regular person who isn’t in healthcare I understand not knowing these things but there were professionals who donated and had her speaking to others who didn’t call anything into question?

disgusting, to think that she gave actual cancer patients false hope.

As someone who had brain cancer at 17 and 18 years old, I don't even have the words to say how deeply this saddens me.

Absolutely vile. I lost 2!!!!! Uncle's and my grandpa to cancer. Ughh she absolutely makes me livid 🤬

It seems like we are hearing about these types of stories more and more every year. I truly believe this is a result of social media and the desire for attention and clout. It’s really scary what social media is doing to us as a society.

Deceptive actions like those alleged in this story are deeply troubling and remind us of the importance of authenticity and empathy in our online interactions. It's disheartening to think that trust can be manipulated for personal gain, especially when people's genuine care and support are exploited. Let's use this as a reminder to approach online stories and fundraising campaigns with caution and to continue fostering a culture of genuine compassion and support for those in need.

I was just recently (june 9th) diagnosed with Leukemia at a fairly young age and its a struggle to get any assistance. This person though, took advantage of good hearted individuals. Hopefully she gets what she deserves and the people who did help her aren't kicking themselves too hard for trying to help.

Did she not have friends or family to call her out ? Like did no one know? How did she get away for so long?

This is absolutely freaking ludicrous! Vile even. I’m sorry to the people who actually do have cancer and are going through so much. I hope this young lady gets some serious help

there are genuine people out there who are struggling with life-threatening illnesses... and then you have clowns like this on TikTok 🤡

Just despicable human being. I’m disgusted

19? She looks almost 30

That TAN is criminal

When my mom was diagnosed, I researched everything in the world that could possibly save her life. If I had seen this girl thriving I would have studied exactly what she does to survive. I would have listened to her every word and bought the biotin and used her as an example. This is more dangerous than she every probably considered. I lost my mom to the cancer and it broke my world. I hope that this girl gets her mental health sorted out and can realize the impact of her actions and change her life.

As a sick person with bad illness this makes me so mad.

My dad died from cancer in the brain, this chick makes me sick to my stomach. These people make me sick, literally sick, and so mad. Karma, that’s what I keep telling myself. People get back what they put out in the world. My anger, ugh! I don’t have anymore words! So mad

This is why people have trust issues and people who are really suffering don’t get the support they need.

Lost my mom to cancer , fought for 8 long months.. she’s up there shaking her head at you right now Maddie.

The worst part of this whole ordeal is that people that actually needed help and support that were actually sick didn’t get it. And now people will more likely not donate in fear of this.

My gosh , i feel so sorry for the people who are going really through this 💔

I lost my dad when I was 15 years old to pancreatic cancer... I don't even have words... Just disgusting

What a vile, disgusting human being. I wonder how far she would've taken it, had she not been caught 🤔

I don't have words,there's people battling with cancer who are fighting for their lives shame on you Mattie

I’m 28 and I have muscular dystrophy, this whole thing just infuriates me because there’s a ton of people who are out here sick.

For someone to pretend they know and experience the absolute suffering that cancer and terminal illnesses cause patients and their loved ones makes me physically sick. I have a father with terminal stage four kidney cancer and a mother with Alzheimers who has trouble remembering who I am most days. I am 29 and an only child. This girl deserves everything she’s got coming to her. Hopefully one day she will get a small taste of what real despair actually feels like.

Just important to note that not all people lose their hair during chemo/radiation. People like this make those living with an invisible illness struggle even more.

She's despicable. I've watched loved ones suffer and pass away from cancer. For her to do that is disgusting.

As someone that lost a kidney from cancer people like this make my blood boil. What a monstrous human.

I lost my 7.5 year old daughter to cancer in 2000 and this story really makes me angry, like real angry as their really was no online help back then and we really needed it and here you are abusing it. God is watching you Maddie.

You can see her whole life flash before her eyes in that mugshot 😭😭😭

Such actions not only exploit people's generosity and compassion but also undermine the trust that charitable initiatives rely upon. Shame on her

As a current cancer patient that had done several rounds of chemo having surgery and getting put back on chemo this really boils my blood she just mocked the entire cancer community and as a father of 3 doing everything and anything to meet my financial responsibility is very difficult because me and my wife have split up and now that we are not together it’s even more difficult and she has no idea the impact that has on someone mentally it’s very very frustrating the nausea is no joke when it comes to chemo even with medication you can not function normally regardless of what ever miracle pill your taking

i literally just lost my dad to cancer, and to see this is truly infuriating

Ive seen quite a lot of people fighting cancer and not one of them looked as healthy as she did. Unbelievable

This is horrible. How can she do that when so many people are fighting cancer daily.

What a monster this makes me sick to my stomach. Anyone who helped play apart in this sick and twisted scheme needs to be thrown in jail as well.

Needs to loose everything and go to jail and be banned from the internet

What’s so frustrating that this money and effort could have went to someone who really needs it and deserves it

I’ve lost an aunt due to cancer fairly recently, she kept her hair until she had to buzz cut it as it was getting in the way of her treatment. It’s absolutely disgusting that someone would do this

This is so horrible ! Shame on her ! For all those that truly suffer from cancer I am so sorry she did this!

This just sickens me! My mother had pancreatic cancer and passed away when she was 46, I was 21 and watched as it ravaged her body and took her life. I do wonder how she did all this without her family and friends busting her out!

Of course she also faked a pregnancy. What a manipulative individual.

I know someone who faked cancer… her mother was just as shocked as the rest of us. The one who faked cancer never took money or anything but she said she did it because “she felt loved”… the whole situation was heart breaking.

Wow. My younger brother had ALL (Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia) at 17. Just about to graduate highschool. He ended up getting septic shock while he was going through chemo and ended up having to have his hands and legs amputated. All four limbs. This makes me mad.

19? Omg, maybe not cancer but she made herself looking 15 years older by going to the solarium that often 😂

the real sad part is, that she wouldn't even have been able to raise this much money if she wasn't pretty.

My best friend had cancer. She drank green tea everyday all day. This warrior never lost a hair on her head but lost all leg hair and underarm hair! RIP Cathy!

I live with multiple sclerosis. Have had and have many a symptoms over 17 years. Never asked for or received anything from anyone, I fight my own battles .

This is sickening I lost my dad to Stage 4 Lung Cancer. after a four month diagnosis. I hope she gets the maximum at least 20-30 years.
