    There's no way anyone can put a good spin on this. However I don't believe she can be this simple/naive/greedy/irresponsible. Surely not.

    She's had massive negative publicity and I can't think she's oblivious to this. There's a stability issue here I am sure. Depression, anxiety, something. For gods sake where are Jonah's friends and supporters to help this woman ?

    I don't believe she's the first two, the last two definitely. She's had massive negative publicity and I doubt she gives a shit , why would she?

      Blowing the last of his life's saving/work into a property scam involving his wonderful and loyal father n law wouldn't have helped either.
      Aweful family who are in a mess because of their greed and Jonahs naivety.

      Scam? Why bother with property?

      If Jonah was still worth a bit, surely they could have picked up a couple of investment properties in Auckland and lived off the rental income?

          Yep nothing wrong there, I mean it's normal right for your in laws to sell a property with a heavily marked up price? To make $700k off you
          Because that's what family does.

              Forget in laws. Some athletes are misfortunate enoguh to have the scam artists be their own parents.

                The Bible says, "Don't pass judgment on other people, or you might get judged yourself."

                No, hang on, that was in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

                As you were.

                    Got to take responsibility for your own actions.

                    If you put out the begging bowl and then buy a Porsche, continue living in some of the most expensive real estate in New Zealand, attempt to invalidate your husbands trademarks for murky reasons then funnily enough, people will have an opinion about you.

                      This

                      Eventually, if we are to reach any form of maturity is what it is about. Stop whining about how your parents/teachers/whatever didn't treat you right.. Take ownership of yourself.

                        Even if you already HAD the Porsche, surely it makes sense to sell that thing and buy a sensible car?

                        Otherwise, a person would seem more worried about their image than their finances.

                                  Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure they had the SUV version, but that was last year (or maybe the year before). Not sure if thats the new one they got.

                                    If you put out the begging bowl and then buy a Porsche, continue living in some of the most expensive real estate in New Zealand, attempt to invalidate your husbands trademarks for murky reasons then funnily enough, people will have an opinion about you.

                                    Even if you already HAD the Porsche, surely it makes sense to sell that thing and buy a sensible car?

                                    Otherwise, a person would seem more worried about their image than their finances.

                                    And it's an extremely impractical car for children (assuming it's not that ugly SUV they make)

                                    Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure they had the SUV version, but that was last year (or maybe the year before). Not sure if thats the new one they got.

                                    I'm not sure if thats much better, my neighbour had one of those turds and it was as thirsty as hell and he had to have all the frost plugs replaced which only the dealer could do and the bill was eye watering.

                                      Clearly the term 'living within your means' is foreign too her.

                                      Seems to me all she's concerned with is continuing the lifestyle she's been enjoying for some years, and leaving minor details like supporting her kids financially, she seems happy to leave that to strangers.

                                      Meanwhile her car will need updating in a year or so...

                                          Yup and how she pimped the kids out to the French rugby union recently too.
                                          All about squeezing every last cent from the Lomu name.
