This was great! Can’t wait for part 2. Also, as a designer, her twitter post graphic is driving me insane.

Is plagiarized in $30

Million Obama biography.

Who thought it was a good idea to break up the text line like that?!?

Has anyone asked Anna if she’s ok? This smacks of a narcissism disorder and seems like she may also be living in a deeply deluded state. Her claims are beyond baseless, they’re inane in the extreme. I think this lady is sick and needs help.

Bless you David for another wild ride, can’t wait for part two!

PS how bloody good was your interview on Armchair Expert, I bloody loved it! A great meeting of minds.

I did a google on "Obama photos looking down smiling". Quickly found one from 2010 - told her (on Twitter) that based on her argument, she was breaking someone else's copyright! ;)

When I wrote about the Covid-rumour guy and said that I had folders on my computer dedicated to other people I've researched, lots of people asked "who?!" - well, this is one of them :)

This is like de ja vu... We had had to threaten to take Anna Wilding to court over false claims and libelous statements she made against our company where she claimed that we had stolen her IP and copied a product range that she brought out 12 months after our products were on the market.

As a person who embodies every suburban, boring stereotype, I have to say I love reading about the weird and wonderful scrapes you find yourself in. 😆 I eagerly await Part 2!

She sounds like a professional con artist. All about fueling her ego. But for Fucks sake can she sort out her spelling! Christ on a bike!

You seem to attract people with extreme knee-jerk hateful reactions.

Love your articles, David. In a time when there is so much uncritical pap spewing out on the net your stuff is a breath of fresh air. I wait the next instalment with great anticipation.

Intriguingly Anna's foundation wildingfoundation.co.nz is now an online clothes shop registered just a couple of days ago - but maybe that's a sign of you as an influencer!

Also it seems that someone attempted to challenge the accuracy of her wiki page back in January this year (Aucklandboy1981) but that was overturned by the moderators as looking like an attack. I guess it's difficult to change a narrative as entrenched as Anna's seems to be. But maybe we'll hear more about that soon....

I'm fascinated by this story because I know what it is like dealing with a delusional narcissist with a litigious nature. They are always the victim, never the villain (in their eyes), however my experience suggests it is the other way around. Unless I too am a delusional narcissist .... hmmm

Classic narcissistic behaviour. Any percieved threat to the ego is met with indignant narcissistic rage. Man you brave poking that bear

This was a rollercoaster of a read. I don't know if you've ever heard of cockygate, which is where romance author, Faleena Hopkins (who was also an actress/photographer/filmmaker) managed to trademark the word cocky, causing all kinds of chaos in the romance community. This whole thing gave me vibes of that.
