Just catching up and I doubt I have anything too new to add to this but:
when the new house is ready she'll enter her muslim wife era, she'll have to be more active with work and it will be good for her
I love this tell in weak willed narcissists; they're so incapable of showing the slightest amount of self control, but SO convinced that they're great and amazing. In Chantal's case she's SURE that she's actually the very hardworking, hygienic, sweet, submissive, skinny, loyal housewife that (she thought) Nadar always wanted her to be, she just needs the right environment.
She needs a man who will tell her no (even though she doesn't listen and will whine, scream and threaten until she gets her way), and no access to fast food (which she managed to find in a war zone), no license (didn't stop her from driving), no car (didn't get her to start walking) etc etc.
And the kicker is when something
does work, like going to a country where weed is illegal to force her to stop indulging, she just goes right back to it the moment its available.
She's got this stupid idea that she just needs to "detox" from all the bad stuff she's addicted to and she'll be that Everest Climbing Skinny Legend of her dreams. But it's not some chemical of physical addiction that's the problem, she proved that with the weed.
She's the problem.
Which is why no change in environment, no forcing her to socialize or cook, nothing will change who she is and make her into someone she's not. Only Chantal can change Chantal, and Chantal is a narcissistic nightmare so that would never happen.
Edit: it's ridiculously hilarious that people think we made enough money to stay at a hotel, pay for renovations and send Sasa to school

. Never change, people.
She loves her "technical truths"
She knows no one said she had the money for all three at once (which is what she's implying). We all know that Sasa gets nothing, the renovations may get a little is Salah plays his cards right and the rest goes into AC/Her Face.
I do wonder why she bothers with her "technical truths" though. It's a pretty consistent thing for her but what's the point? She flat out lies constantly so why bother with these twisted truths? It's something I've never been able to wrap my head around. She always has a way to dismiss or justify her straight out lies, so my best guess it's to satisfy her own ego so she can convince herself she isn't a liar.
Although that doesn't really make sense. If you lied about raising money for a downs kid and spent all the money on yourself because it was hot out and you wanted a burger, surely being able to smugly say you didn't lie about not being able to afford grease AND enriching a child's life at the same time doesn't outweigh that.
I don't know, honestly this quirk of hers baffles me.
Probably because she knew people would connect the dots between her grifting off a child and her showing up at a fancy out of country hotel with room service only days later
My favourite thing is she probably actually didn't.
I could be wrong, but Chantal has proven in the past she thinks so little of everyone else's intelligence (because she's dumb as fuck but also thinks she's the smartest person in the world, so if SHE couldn't piece together this puzzle then surely no one else can) that I wouldn't be surprised if she really thought no one would put it together.
She just sat on camera crying for this child's education and how her and her amazing husband just can't afford to support her on their own because they're helping so many people and won't you please show some compassion and then showed up the next day in what might as well have been a fur coat, draped in gold jewelry and driving a new sports car while eating lobsters and steaks and saying "you think I could afford to do this AND support a child? You're crazy, use your brain!"
It's honestly hilarious to me, I'm not just saying that, the whole mental image actually makes me laugh a bit each time. Especially since she's rescinded her offer of showing receipts and people in her chat
still seem to believe her.
And the best part is that none of it will matter.
Next grift she'll say she ALWAYS shows receipts and she totally did for Sasa so everyone who says otherwise is a hater and it was just a coincidence that she needed to get away from all the screaming kids and the expectation that she'd help around the house so she can "seal" (god I still can't believe she embraced that term) in peace with her 10k calorie fried meat piles with extra fries.
