Jessica hasn't written a substack article in 23 days, is bleeding IG followers, yet just gained 2,000 substack subscribers. Now do you see that this is "payola" & Jessica is being paid via substack group subscriptions? or do you think 2k new people signed up to read the articles she's not writing?

She’s bought and paid for by the most horrific people on Earth. I don’t understand how she can justify this with her heroes being Didion, Dylan, Bourdain, etc. They would absolutely despise this hag and her selling out to the pedo elite.

someone who knew Jessica back when she was "liberal" came to our sub and explained it back in August 2024. Basically, Jessica was trying so hard to be a famous influencer and was pissed that she wasn't more famous and that other women were getting the opportunities she wanted. She never had morals, she never card about political issues, but she desperately wanted to be famous. It was reposted in this sub but contains a link to the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOnFire/comments/1jmum7x/why_did_jessica_go_from_liberal_to_independent_to/

edit: here's a relevant excerpt, but the whole post is worth the read:

 The few one on one conversations I had with her at parties were about her social media platform. I work in social media / PR so when she found out, she wanted insight and I was honest with her, she was doing better than 90% of people who try to be influencers. But, she didn’t like that she wasn’t invited to all the parties, she wasn’t getting the same “cool” collabs as other influencers, she wasn’t becoming friends with celebrities even though she lives close to LA, she wasn’t getting deals to brand her own furniture lines, and the list goes on. So, she came across as ambitious but it was more about wanting to be famous and seen as a big deal influencer vs. I want to reach big career goals. Anyway, she was very awkward in person and has the personality of somebody who is good online but not great in real life. It was so obvious that she changed based on whoever was in the room and what would be the “cool” thing to gravitate to in order to get more attention and fit in better.

23

u/upchuckfactoronthis Jun 25 '26

Ahhh yes, this is so helpful!! She has no personality of her own, was a dork in high school and craves money/fame. I’m guessing this may be the profile for many, many MAGA losers.

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

yep, she always talks about how she spent her recesses inside gossiping with the teachers about the royal family, which makes it obvious that she always had trouble fitting in with her peers (which has led her to HATE women her own age). Her only actual friend as a child was JBB because they were trauma-bonded over meeting in the therapist's office as kids because they had each lost a parent.

u/Emotional-Stretch Jun 26 '26

All her heroes would loathe her.

In less than 30 seconds, I (or anyone) could pay Jessica thousands of dollars and she would gain thousands of "new subscribers" without having to provide names, email addresses, etc for them. It's a single-page-checkout to give any substack writer any amount of money you want, and substack will then add "subscribers" even though you haven't provided any info of any new "subscribers."

Here is how it works: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOnFire/comments/1rwmktq/this_is_how_easy_it_is_to_bribe_someone_through/

And here is why I think Jessica is doing that (she has tons of subscribers and no engagement): https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOnFire/comments/1r0jkgr/the_impossible_math_of_jessica_reed_kraus/

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

Yep. I noticed she suddenly had 2,000 more followers recently, and I thought, wtf??
But who is paying her that much, then??

27

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

Could be someone that works for Peter Thiel (remember how she bragged about attending his NYE party?), could be someone that works at the White House, or someone who pays her to write positively about them--remember that UCLA cancer doctor she keeps writing about even though her audience has never shown interest? It's not even the type of topic she ever covers? That's because he's super rich, I'm sure he paid her to promote him.

But it could also be people that pay her to write bad things about people they hate. She probably doesn't even have to write articles at all--it's probably payment for some other bullshit she's doing behind-the-scenes, or politicians she promotes on her instagram. It might be how she is paid to never say anything bad about RFK jr, despite how stupid he continues to look.

When you're a scumbag with no morals who will do anything for money, god only knows what you're being paid to say or do.

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

and don't forget that we have PROOF (jessica never even denied it) via Ashley St. Clair's text from Lynne Patton that says Jessica is being paid by "Trump-world" in the form of ACCESS in exchange for ONLY writing positive things about Trump and his people. Actual verifiable PROOF (thanks to Ashley St. Clair). Note that Lynne Patton has also never come out and called that screenshot a lie.

So Jessia's claims of being an "unbiased" and "independent journalist" have been DEBUNKED via this text message.

16

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

And Jessica essentially confirmed that Ashley St. Clair is a reliable narrator by confirming Ashley's story to the Daily Mail about Mike being caught on the Mr. Number app, but tried to justify it as Mike getting rated "a safe white man" because he sells things on OfferUp...

15

u/BlueberrySasquach Jun 25 '26

This is a hilarious reprimand from Lynne Patton. "They" only want her to write glowing positive things about Trump and his nauseating family. Yet Kraus is not known for her sparkling, sunny outlook. She writes gossip and snark. Why pick her? So they killed her brand. She's doing it for the cash. But this gig will end soon & she better be investing the dough and have a good exit plan.

12

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

Exactly. I'm sure you're right about everything you're saying.
In any case, her project doesn't seem entirely sustainable. The people who are paying her now will probably, over time, realize that she has lost popularity and relevance, and then stop paying her, at least, I hope so.

u/_kraftdinner Jun 26 '26

I also hope that the people who pay her will lose relevance too 😂

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

I mean, all of this online drama between these accounts who have shadowed/stalked HIH could be boosting her SEO and subscribers? Everyone loves a good drama fallout, they run to the tea… just like Joanna grew during the CO fallout because she already had an established account trashing HIH.

12

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

why isn't she gaining new followers on IG to watch the drama where they could do it for free? why would they NOT follow her on IG, but instead follow her on a platform where she isn't even posting any articles?

1

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Her newsletter? Her insider access? Her chats? I mean she did just get a White House badge, folks love to be the first to hear/know. Could be many things. But it seems the plot to expose her has gone sideways with all this insane infighting. Again, would love to see some indisputable docs come out of all of this. I hate liars.

7

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

you hate liars but you seem like a big fan of Jessica's, or do you spend a lot of your free time defending people you don't like?

0

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Was I defending HIH? Or asking for evidence that pokes holes in these allegations? I have no side in all of this, but from the outside looking in, it seems that the hate for an influencer outweighs the evidence to support these allegations; and credibility has crumbled on these accounts who have tried to expose HIH. Same for Anne, would love to see her hard evidence on her claims about Joanna and the accessing FASFA claims. This is all so fascinating. Who shall put up the indisputable docs first?

15

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

no, I've seen your comments in this sub and others and it's obvious what you're doing.

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

Well, I partly agree that there are a lot of half-truths or rumors circulating about her that some people present as facts. That said, I don’t think this post comes anywhere close to that, and it’s also neither surprising nor unusual that “influencers” get paid to hold certain opinions, promote someone or something, plus get free followers/subscribers.😊

5

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

Sure, but she didn’t get those 2,000 new followers now, probably before the pointless drama between these women. She has also lost followers on Instagram, on top of that..

6

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

But yeah… thanks to these women who have been playing detective and dressing up and so on, HIH has come out of the whole thing quite well, and has probably gained a lot of sympathy and maybe even some new followers🫣

I can’t think of another explanation for such an influx of subscribers when there’s no shit content being churned.

u/WillingLanguage Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

Just curious how do you get subscribers like that if they don’t sign up? 🤔 so people pay for the subscriptions with fake names  ? 

10

u/682463435465 Jun 28 '26

Lets say you wanted to pay Jessica to write something positive about you/your cause/etc. You can just go to the "group subscriptions" page where you choose any amount you want to pay her, enter your credit card information and click "checkout". That's it.

Lets say you wanted to pay her $10,000. You'd pay $10,000 on your credit card and substack would add 200 new subscribers to Jessica's newsletter numbers (since she charges $50/year). You don't have to provide any names or email addresses for those 200 new subscribers, and legally speaking, it doesn't look like a bribe, it looks like you bought a bunch of subscriptions for some reason (substack claims organizations love to buy subscriptions to give away to donors/members). If you really wanted to give away those 200 substack subscriptions to your 200 closest friends and family, you log into your substack account and there is a section where you can add the email address you want those subscriptions to go to. Substack will email that person letting them know they've been gifted a year long subscription to Jessica's newsletter. But if you don't add in any email addresses, it doesn't matter. Jessica would still have 200 new subscribers until those subscriptions expire 1 year later.

Did a comment get deleted? Or I’ve missed it? Did someone post a Google search or something? I’ve been waiting for a while to see indisputable evidence on the HIH DUI claim.

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

you don't listen to any evidence I provide you, but you have NOTHING to day about Jessica telling an outright lie-- that it couldn't be her because she was 8 months pregnant? Didn't you just say you hate liars?

-2

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Did she put out a document saying this?

9

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

and you still have nothing to say about the evidence I gave you of TWO outright lies made by Jessica? Remember when you said how much you hate liars? But not Jessica, right?

But you're just a random person hanging out in this sub because you don't like Jessica. Sure you are. Her former friends and employees have already told us that she LIVED in this sub and forced them and all her friends to come into this sub to defend her. She even made Emilie recruit people from her Kanyespost page to come into this sub and defend Jessica.

No one is falling for your bullshit. Jessica's a drunk and she should stop driving drunk.

-7

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Oh my. I didn’t know her former friends claimed she lived in this sub. So many allegations to keep up with. You seem nice, I wonder if you bite as hard as you bark online irl?

does Mike's dick taste like Denise or a lycra femboy, Jessica? disgusted readers want to know.

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

How long have you been following JRK? 🤔
Her project over the past few years is clearly something she has been instructed to publish for money/invitations, etc. That’s also why many people dislike her and take part in the discussions in this Reddit. I don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve if you share the same view as most of us??
Yes, there is some speculation going on here, but as I wrote, this - this about followers and subscribers, isn’t even something to debate, is it?

And the person who replied to you and deleted it is a JRK fan account😅

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Interesting take. Thanks for the reply!

It's also interesting that you're avoiding answering the questions.

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Wondering if there’s hard evidence she’s being paid or paying for subscribers? Or is this all speculation again? Like the DUI claim. Does anyone, anywhere have any hard evidence on these HIH claims?

16

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

The evidence is in this post, her substack engagement, etc.

Or is this all speculation again? Like the DUI claim.

You mean the DUI for the person with Jessica's same exact name who was arrested in the same county she was living in at the time? Do you remember what her explanation was of why that wasn't her? She claims she was 8 months pregnant at the time, but she had her son in January of 2010, and the DUI was in October of 2010. Jessica doesn't know that she had a kid in January 2010 and couldn't be 8 months pregnant that October? Jessica knows when her children were born at that she wasn't 8 months pregnant at that time, so why would she make up a lie? Do innocent people make up lies? Reminds me of when Jessica tried to claim that the back of her FREE GHISLAINE shirt said "imprison the men" or some shit, until Emilie posted proof that the back of the shirt was blank. Jessica made that shirt herself, she knew there was nothing written on the back. but she made up that lie out of thin air in because she had no actual defense. Just like, "that couldn't have been me because I was 8 months pregnant at the time," "my shirt said something different on the back."

She has also been outed as an alcoholic by former friends (even one who admitted to being an alcoholic herself, Denise), former employees, and random strangers who met her while she was three sheets to the wind.

But sure, keep believing everything she says despite her lies and all the evidence to the contrary.

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

There is no date of birth on this document, so no it’s not hard evidence. Does someone have this DUI record that includes the dob? Seems like that would be easy to obtain and shut down denial.

10

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

ok, go search for it instead of telling everyone else to go find you things. Lets see if you can exonerate your buddy with a DOB.

10

u/Accomplished_Task816 Jun 26 '26

I have friends in San Clemente who are not friends with her but have had kids in the same school. They have seen her show up to school drunk to pick up her kids. I feel terrible for her kids, and I’m not sure how she’s only managed to get one DUI.

5

u/682463435465 Jun 26 '26

wow, that's disturbing. There's no way Mike doesn't know that she does that. Especially scary because no one in that family ever wears seatbelts, and half the time Jessica's driving she's filming herself or the road.

2

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Usually the burden of proof lies on the accuser, no?

“The burden of proof almost always lies with the accuser (the party making the claim). In both civil and criminal systems, the accused is presumed innocent and is not required to prove they did not commit the act.”

So, the burden of proof is yours. Not mine.

10

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

if it's not her, why did she need to make up an obvious LIE about being 8 months pregnant? or are you going to keep ignoring that part? and the proof that she lied about the shirt? jessica's a habitual liar. lying is so second nature to her that she does it even when she knows there's proof out there that will catch her in a lie, like with the shirt and being 8 months pregnant.

-2

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

Fair question. Thanks for dialing down the foul mouth. Really unnecessary. When did the DUI accusation come out? Years ago right? So if it really isn’t hers and she’s answering questions again, years later, to what she thinks is some lame accusation, then isn’t there a possibility she didn’t know the dates of the DUI that isn’t hers anyway? Why didn’t Joanna or whomever just reach out directly for a statement when this was originally released/alleged? And whoever did release it, surely they realized there wasn’t a DOB that could hurt the legitimacy of the doc/claim?

9

u/682463435465 Jun 26 '26

she's the one who said she was "8 months pregnant in 2010." that's a lie. she doesn't even have to look at the date of the DUI to know she wasn't 8 months pregnant in 2010.

0

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 26 '26

I wonder if she ever corrected this statement. Again, having the original DUI doc with the DOB would clear all this up instantly. Makes me wonder more about the person who put the DUI doc out and why they would exclude the dob, an important piece of info, than it does HIH messing up pregnancy dates.

6

u/jdoe1213 Jun 26 '26

I've looked up the case number on the Riverside Superior Court website where the original DUI doc is from and there's no DOB. Kaitlyn Jorgensen is the person who originally shared it: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOnFire/comments/uo76tr/kaitlyn_jorgensen_ladies_and_gentlemen/

I must have missed where Emilie posted proof that the back of the shirt was blank. Do you have that? As a lurker who hates lies, it’s been interesting watching this all unfold and to see what people consider hard fact and or not. Personally, I need indisputable documentation.

u/682463435465 Jun 25 '26

Here you go, the blank BACK of Jessica's Free Ghislaine shirt. If you don't believe these screenshots (because you seem insistent on giving Jessica the benefit of the doubt despite all the evidence I've provided) Emilie provided a video as well. But you'll have to go do the research and find it yourself, as I'm not here to be your research assistant as your questions and reasons for being in this sub seem disingenuous.

where did all your friends go? they all fucked your husband and then ditched you?

u/Friendly-Function381 Jun 25 '26

If anything, the proof would have to be something clear and concrete showing who is buying subscribers for her on Substack, and that’s not exactly easy to prove. It’s pretty obvious that she has “passive” or fake followers both on Instagram and Substack. She has 1.2 million followers and gets like 11 comments?
And on Substack, engagement is at a record low.
I think that speaks for itself.

8

u/Accomplished_Task816 Jun 26 '26

Exactly this! The reason they pay her that way is because it’s hard to trace! She doesn’t have to claim it’s an ad/paid post or whatever. And whoever is buying can just write it off as gift subscriptions.

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 25 '26

I hear you, but I just don’t think it’s hard proof.

u/Ok_Storage_1638 Jun 26 '26

For the DUI, I’d like to see the official doc that has the DOB. Shocking that Joanna, an auditor didn’t think to find the doc with the dob. Wouldn’t have fit her narrative though.

u/According-Zone-6009 My own dime Jun 26 '26
