The mum-of-four influencer whose baby daughter has been taken into care after she was accused of faking the tot’s brain tumour had previously been accused of lying about her own kidney disease.
Police this week said they had seized the Queensland mummy blogger’s child after concerns were raised for the baby girl after the mother’s GoFundMe appeal raised $62,000.
Now new details have emerged of the mother using pics allegedly stolen from another Instagram account to pretend she was being treated for kidney failure.
Deleted video footage has also resurfaced of her addressing a Queensland church to claim her cure was a miracle, and telling worshippers: ‘God healed me.’
The mother has now been branded a ‘monster’ by her own husband after he allegedly discovered she had been drugging their daughter as part of the hoax.
The alarm was raised after nursing staff saw her posts on social media making claims about the child’s treatment which didn’t match the reality.
Police have since put the child in care while investigations continue and GoFundMe has locked the appeal funds to prevent the mother from accessing it while the probe is underway.
It’s since been revealed she was accused in 2019 of using alarming pictures of long-needled syringes taken from the social media account of a seriously-ill US woman.
She also used details from the woman’s post to pretend she was undergoing similar treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease and detailed her illness to the churchgoers.
The mummy blogger – who can’t be identified for legal reasons – said that after working seven days a week her body started to ‘break down’ without her even knowing.
‘I took myself to the doctors and was instantly rushed in an ambulance to hospital,’ she read from notes while on stage at the church.
‘I was soon diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.’
She claims she was told that until a match was found for a new kidney, she would have to do dialysis three times a week to keep her alive.
‘I didn’t know how I could cram in fifteen to twenty hours of dialysis on top of my already busy work schedule, but I managed to squeeze it in,’ she claimed.
Needing to ‘lean on god,’ she began attending the church and claimed that ‘something amazing happened’ after the congregation prayed for her.
‘The next day I went straight to the doctors to get tested and was tested again at hospital the next night and my kidney function had raised from seven per cent to 33 per cent,’ she said.
‘To this day it’s slowly getting better and better each time and I strongly believe that through the healing power of God I will not need to get a kidney transplant.’
But the miracle recovery was questioned by former supporters who called her out for allegedly using stolen photos of hospital treatments from other patients to pass them off as her own.
Posting to her popular Instagram page, which is currently deactivated, the woman shared the frightening photo of a dialysis needle.
‘I wish I could say that this needle was for a horse but unfortunately its for me,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘Not just one of these needles but two of them (one for blood in, one for blood out) three times a week for approximately five hours at a time.’
But Daily Mail can reveal that the image of the blood-stained needle was taken from the Instagram account of a Californian woman named Nicole.
The woman had posted the same photo in 2018, with a caption reading: ‘This is my Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Yep! This needle isn’t for a horse, it’s for me! I get not one but two of them three times a week.’
Earlier this week, the Queensland mother’s estranged husband reacted to the uproar and police investigation with a savage online blast at his wife.
‘For what it’s worth, I had no idea about what [the mother] was doing to [the child],’ the devastated father said in a social media post on Monday.
‘I pushed for those surgeries because in my heart I felt it would help.
‘I didn’t realise [our daughter] was being drugged the entire time causing her symptoms to be what they were.
‘I do my best to love and protect my children. I should’ve done better for them. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect [her] the way I should have.’
Queensland Police confirmed their investigation in a statement to Daily Mail earlier this week.
‘Police are aware of reports of child harm against a one-year-old girl,’ a police spokesman said.
‘The Queensland Police Service has taken action to protect the child and commenced an investigation.
‘As this is an active investigation it would be inappropriate to provide further comment.’
GoFundMe said they had a ‘zero tolerance policy for misuse of our platform’.
‘Our Trust and Safety specialists are aware of the accusations and are investigating as part of our standard due diligence process,’ said a spokesman.
‘This includes cooperating with police investigations.
‘Whilst the investigation is ongoing, no further funds can be raised or withdrawn.’
Daily Mail has contacted both parents for comment.
