Could have been worse, could have been a $200K Porsche. But it does not look good. The shenanigans with Jonah's company and copyrights looks even worse, it appears that the apple did not fall far from her father's tree

I don't actually know what's worse. The fact she has the porsche, or the fact she justifies it by saying that it's been purchased on finance so that's okay.
So she's crying poor and saying she needs money for her kids schooling, but she can afford monthly repayments on a 75k porsche. Ridiculous. Some people have zero self awareness

Fixed.
I see she's struggling to get anyone to give to her givealittle page in NZ, hardly surprising considering how she is perceived here and her behaviour since his death.
-
Hasn't she started up Jonah's twitter page too? It's very strange getting tweet's on that thing.
If she really cared about her kid's future she wouldn't be putting out the begging bowl and financing porches. Reminds of the woman that spend their child support payments on pedicures and handbags.
Does she have a job?

@Kirwan
My take on all this, is that she clearly has issues beyond no self awareness. It's quite likely she's suffering and this is her way of dealing with that. If so, I hope she has good friends around her who will help and offer good advice (which hasn't seemed to have happened yet) -

@Lozzy John Campbell first interview on rnz was with her and I thought she came across pretty badly . Dodged questions with emotive answers etc, he's also a fuckwit so that didn't help either. I expect at least one woman's magazine cover story ( nadene "jonahs still part of our lives" Nadene finds love " etc etc ) out of her a year for quite some time to come and in between dodgy stories like the Porsche one popping up from time to time . I doubt it has much to do with her suffering and more to do with the person she always has been.
-
@Lozzy you'd have to say that is unlikely given some of the decisions she has made and continues to make, plus those who have obviously been a part of helping Jonah and his money part ways are probably still about.

Yep - from the outside, most people see a feted rugby superstar, who had everything. Now he's gone and his wife is crying poor.
I doubt whether many of the people living in that bubble are aware of what good advice looks like. That's human nature for you, and they don't want the gravy train to take off without them.

To be fair about the Porsche those things have horrendous depreciation and are not the easiest things in the world to sell. Even a service for them can make them quite unpalatable at any price.
If she still needs a car to get to work then she might be better off keeping it.
Wait she does have a job right?

It's not a great look when there is a charity to fund for the kids while mum 'appears' to not need for much but maybe the facts should be looked at.
The money raised by the public in a a trust for Jonah's kids to provide them a future. Nadene Lomu gets nothing from the trust and doesn't have access to funds from it. No donated money has gone anywhere near the Porsche.
The trust is there for the kids education and if she is divesting herself of all of their educational costs so she has more of her own money then so what? In a roundabout way this is simply Jonah paying the bills he would have been paying anyway. The kids still probably end up better off than if she had full access to the chequebook.
She really does come across as a piece of work though.

She's a piece of work alright. She's not the only single parent out there having to put money towards their kids education. Absolving herself of that responsibility tells you a lot about the sort of person she is.

I have a fundamental and philosophical problem with all this: why does being the child of a rugby star who earned and spent a lot of money entitle you to charity to pay for your later education?
Did Jonah have life insurance? Can Nadene work and provide for her kids? Etc.
I really liked Jonah but the aftermath of his passing and this saga is fairly unpalatable.

@Billy-Tell highly likely he was unable to get Life Insurance or if he did, would likely have excluded the cause of death being related to his kidney issues, which would be a factor in most of his health issues I suspect.
-
Jonah was a legend and I'll always be in awe of what he did on the rugby field and how he fought his terrible illness. But I take a very dim view of anyone who has earned that amount of money, but the begging bowl still needs to be passed around to look after his kids.
Who cares if the wife doesn't have access to the trust. If she can afford a new Porsche, then why should people contribute to the education of her kids?
-
Every time I see an article about that scungy gold digger with her hand out, it makes me angry. But it isn't the kiddies fault they have a shit mother. I just hope the trust is watertight and any payments go straight to a school and nowhere near her or her scumbag father's pockets.
