She really wasn't at all famous when she signed up, so it really would have been quite a strange person to "take off" and pretend to be. But the more famous she got, the less she seemed believable, and on some occasions, the timings didn't line up at all and people have said they got in touch with her via other social media and she's not known what's been said. But it's in the beginning where it confuses me. Maybe it was her Ex all along, but I doubt her ex was a hairy bloke who loves cleaning solution and wrestling.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 She was very famous before she joined in the extreme sports scene. I remember a conversation she was involved with very early on (I'm not sure if she was posting before I joined or just after, but I hadn't been here long) and I couldn't believe it was the actual Jenny Jones posting on a villa football forum. Even more weird to me was that no one seemed to care or understand who she was @mjmooney Villaajax pops up on PSN occasionally (playstation network), I think he's OK. Was last time I spoke to him anyway. I suppose one of two things happened - he was rumbled, so he left. Or he was accused of impersonating a girl and left. Either way I can't blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a strange person to mimic, but she WAS famous before she signed up. Maybe not to you and me, but to anyone who followed Snowboarding, or the X Games in general, she would be a well known name. She was a tow time X Games gold medal winner, which is a big deal in that sport. But yes, I don't believe it was her. Timings don't line up. There were times she was posting on here all weekend and saying she wasn't up to much, and then her (official) twitter would post photos on the Monday saying something like "Great weekend spent at the lake in such and such a place" and these photos of her doing loads of things. Plus posting on here while she was LIVE on TV. Said he was posting during the breaks, but IIRC she was on it with some very famous people. Was she just ignoring them during the break so she could post on VillaTalk? I don't buy it, and I think the Olympics thing was just a very lucky coincidence.

Either way I can't blame him If it was him, when rumbled he should have stuck around and lorded it over the rest of us mecilessly, as the VT troller of all time (honeytrap thread excepted). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2018 I don't know if JJ was VillaAjax, but it was highly suspicious when they both disappeared form VT for months, and then both reappeared within a couple of days of each other, then disappeared again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why .. Lord only knows but .... didn't someone go to an event she was at once and get blanked ( pre bronze medal if I recall) either way I'm just glad I didn't send her pictures of my knob like she kept asking via private message 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I bet I would have won poster of that day until "she" won that medal as well. Where's the justice? Mods, can we get this looked into..? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Yeah it was Sunday Brunch when she was posting and you saw her with her phone on TV at the same-ish time. But then if you were impersonating her you would take advantage of the situation so.... crazy really. We'll probably never know, but I'd love to know the truth.

Xann Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm intrigued enough to want to find out if JJ on VT was the real deal? I work for a sports broadcaster and the journos owe me plenty favours. Will try find out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she was as casual and "fun" as she came across on here she would definitely have confirmed her identity during that post Olympic phase. Loads of people were asking her to say a phrase or something on camera (subtle stuff along with the usual DHUTWU and Scuba Steve suggestions). She'd have definitely done that if she was genuine.
