I'm not sure if I can even share this here, but I was recently sent a link to a page that may explain why things have been so quiet from Rosie Vela over the last few years: www.gofundme.com/rosie-vela-needs-our-urgent-helpMy heart genuinely goes out to her at such a difficult time, and I really wish that I could do something to make a difference... (How about fronting a benefit concert, Jeff?)

I did see this on Facebook but was reluctant to post it up because I'm not sure how genuine it is.
I am not saying it is a scam, it could be genuine, but I would suggest members look carefully into this before donating any money.
I sincerely hope it isn't true and that Rosie is safe and well.

Very sorry to read this. I hope her friends do come through for her.

Sorry, but there are a few things that don't seem right to me.

Sorry, but there are a few things that don't seem right to me. Which are those few things?

If it's true then I do feel very sorry for her. However as BSJ said she has friends and they do happen to be pretty well off (for instance didn't she meet Jeff through the Travelling Wilburys? Surely not a group of people who are scrabbling for cash?) I'd hope they'd not see her suffer like that without trying to help.

Sorry, but there are a few things that don't seem right to me. Which are those few things? There was a very similar appeal for a whip round made back in 2015 when she was claiming to be very unwell. I just find it difficult to believe that someone who has such a network of friends needs to turn to a public whip round to get £10k (or whatever the sum was).

Yeah, that makes you wonder. Heck, even the friend who calls out for help was a big model apparently.

I'm afraid it looks a bit like the....a relative of yours has died in Nigeria leaving an estate bigger than the GDP of most African countries. He named you in his will. Please deposit 500usd now into this bank account and you'll receive 80m usd by return. Yours honestly...Hadaway and Shite solicitors, 101 Dunuplikeakippa Street, New York, Nigeria.

Does look that way. But it certainly seems you find out who your real friends are when you need financial help.

True, Uno. Can it be possible that with all the rich people she knows she's needing help from anonyms over the internet? That world is a mirage.
