She collected money for stray cats in Kuwait – but then it turned out that she had long since released the kitten she was looking after back into the gutter.

Some time ago we reported on Maribel Todt, a former GNTM participant who now works as an influencer, doesn't really want to work under any circumstances and therefore collects donations – for her sick horse, among other things.
The difference to the influencer in this case: At least the animal really belonged to her and she took care of it.
Food as video content
Chantal Sarault – your followers better under the name Foodie Beauty known – is Mukbang Influencer- their content consists largely of getting huge amounts of food, arranging it more or less attractively in front of the camera and then eating all the food.
So she eats kilos of cheese with wine or eats dozens of plates of pasta and shows her followers that she didn't have time to clean up and that the rubbish from the last few days was piling up under her table.
This is all quite questionable, but in the current case it doesn't really matter, because before the comment column fills with angry boomers who want to make any unpleasant comments about the young woman's appearance or weight because she doesn't fit into her prejudiced worldview fits: It's not about her normal content at this point.
Because Sarault is currently not hiding from the authorities in her native Kuwait because she ate five double whoppers in a row, but because of them Donation fraud.
Hypocritical love of animals
She recently told her viewers about it Founding a charity organization called “Save the Cats”.
Kuwait has a big problem with stray cats and where many of these animals usually lead a sad life in the streets, various institutions and bodies always want to do their part by taking in, treating, castrating and either placing animals in loving hands or release them again in controlled environments.
Sarault also pretended to want to do something similar She showed up with a kitten that she had picked up near her home. She showed the disturbed animal in her stream and talked about “Save the Cats”. When the chat asked whether she had provided an official donation link for it she asked viewers to simply send her the money to her private PayPal account.
The influencer reacted grumpily to the justified criticism and questions from fans. She explained that the official route would be far too confusing and that she would work with a complex network of other aid organizations, as there were no official animal welfare authorities or laws in Kuwait. According to her, her journey would be the only one that would save the animals from certain death.
Cat rescue just an excuse
However, Foodie Beauty came under renewed criticism when the groups that supposedly worked with her denied it and stated that the influencer had never contacted them and was in no way part of their work to protect the animals.
When she herself announced that the kitten from the video was one would have brought her to the vet and he would supposedly have advised her to simply abandon the animal again, it was abundantly clear that Sarault was not honest with the donors and had never planned to take care of the cat or take it to a veterinarian. That's why the local authorities are now investigating them.
When you look at her past, it becomes clear that this is not Foodie Beauty's first questionable campaign and that she has already attracted attention because of the incorrect treatment of animals.
Questionable past (and future)
Because Chantal Sarault is not a native of Kuwait. She was in Born Canada and has been trying her hand at beauty, mukbang and weight loss videos there for many years as an influencer.
But because even back then there were a whole series of scandals and strange streams that included, for example, for expensive cheese for an older man moved out or gossiping about dating a guy without fingers, one day she decided to flee Canada and leave all her problems behind.
She took refuge in Kuwait, married there, and explained to her followers that from now on she would wear hijab and be a better person. But she couldn't completely escape her past so easily. Since she was in Canada beforehand two cats When she lived together, she simply gave it to a YouTuber friend, who then pitiful health of one of the animals criticized. According to her, the cat's claws grew into her paws without Sarault ever seeing a vet.
Sarault is currently on the run and is hiding from the authorities in Kuwait because of donation fraud – whether her plan this time will include simply leaving the country remains to be seen. The main thing this time is that no animals are affected...

After animal cruelty allegations – food influencer secretly leaves the country and is convicted of her food

How a burger might have exposed the escape of a donation fraudster...
Appearance doesn't matter (even) if you have a bad character. | © YouTube
Chantal Sarault, better known to her followers as Foodie Beauty, appears to have left her adopted home of Kuwait to escape prosecution. The food from one of her recent videos now gives reason to suspect that she has returned to the country of her birth.
Donation scam involving stray cats
A few days ago, Mukbang influencer Foodie Beauty, who currently lives in Kuwait, was accused of donation fraud. We reported on the original situation, in which she cited the supposed rescue of stray cats as a reason to collect donations and Boomers in the comments section expressed outrage that we asked to criticize them for it, not their appearance.
Previously, all that was known was that Canadian-born Chantal Sarault was hiding from the authorities in Kuwait after initially calling on her followers to send her money via PayPal to benefit stray kittens before it was revealed that she was in the The animal shown in the video had long since been released again.
Other allegations of animal cruelty
Various other organizations active in Kuwait that want to take care of the large number of stray cats also denied working with Sarault. In the course of the investigation by the police, but also by critics of the influencer, it came to light that Sarault had fled her native Canada after allegations of animal cruelty against her arose there too.
A former YouTuber friend stated that Sarault gave her her former cats and that they were in extremely poor health.
It therefore made sense to many commentators on what was happening that Sarault could now go into hiding again and flee to another country –and new evidence suggests that this could really be the case.
Although Foodie Beauty is currently on the run from the law in Kuwait, she continues to happily post content that mainly revolves around food.
A telltale burger
In one of her last videos she appeared with burgers and fries that resourceful viewers identified as products of the fast food chain “Billy K's”, a chain that is only available in Canada.
All six of the franchise's currently existing branches are based there and none of the locations offer delivery services outside the country's borders –and certainly not to Kuwait–, suggesting that Sarault may have fled back to her homeland by now.
Assumptions here go in two directions: On the one hand, there are rumors that Sarault still has outstanding probation conditions for past offenses and would have to report to the Canadian authorities at regular intervals, and on the other hand, observers point to the lack of an extradition agreement between Kuwait and Canada.
A successful escape?
While many countries have extradition agreements with each other that allow them to extradite people who have committed crimes in other countries to the relevant authorities, such an agreement does not exist between Sarault's old home and her current home.
However, this does not completely rule out extradition. An exchange between the countries through, for example. Respective diplomats may still result in Sarault being brought back to Kuwait from Canada and handed over to the authorities there –however, this comes with a huge number of bureaucratic hurdles, which are only overcome in rare, particularly serious cases.
Apart from that, the prosecution of Kuwait in such a case is based on the requirement of double criminality – transfer to Kuwait is only possible if the offense committed can be prosecuted both in Kuwait and the perpetrator's country of residence. In this case, experts admit that Canadian law places higher demands on the verifiability of intentional deception with regard to donation fraud, which could not be the case here.
Only time will tell whether this means that Sarault gets away with impunity, but it is clear that her critics will keep a close eye on her content and other potential clues.

Food influencer Foodie Beauty tortures animals, commits donation fraud, and is now fleeing to Syria for misery tourism
Link / Archive
The influencer, who made a name for herself primarily through huge portions of food, appears to have fled from Canada to Kuwait, back to Canada and now to Syria.
One video, two realities of life. | © YouTube
Foodie Beauty has been criticized several times, most of the time her reaction was to ignoring opinions about herself and then leaving the country shortly afterwards – it seems that time again, but the problem is not only that that she fled, but also whither.
Big heart or big greed?
We have previously reported on Chantal Sarault, known on social media as Foodie Beauty, who presents so-called mukbang content to her viewers. And no, these things alone are absolutely not to be criticized, even if the fact that she is a corpulent woman who makes food the main content in her videos and also wears hijab makes the average boomer blush with anger.
The main problem with self-proclaimed beauty among foodies is the sideshows of their content- which allow a look behind the façade of the lavishly filled plates and fast food reviews.
This was the case at the end of June Voices were loud that questioned her supposed commitment to animal welfare in her adopted home of Kuwait at the time. In videos she had a Kittens shown, talked about taking care of this and many other animals on site and for it Collect donations wants – just to do that to release the animals again shortly afterwards.
Failed fundraiser or scam?
Meanwhile, a former friend of the influencer commented and reported that she was interested in the Sarault's previous cats were taken care of and some of them seemed neglected. When the responsible animal protection associations in Kuwait distanced themselves from Sarault and declared that they had never worked with her, the Internet firmly assumed that this was the case Donation fraud dealt.
This assumption was supported by the fact that the authorities in Kuwait were also looking for Sarault – but could not find her because she she has now probably returned to her native Canada was. This was revealed because resourceful viewers noticed that the burgers on their latest Muk Bang videos came from a chain exclusive to Canada.
When other users were able to determine exactly where she lived based on her interior They contacted the landlord and pointed out Foodie Beauty's actions, whereupon he drew conclusions and threw Sarault out the door.
Escape, misery tourism or both?
Just as Foodie Beauty always seemed to do when criticism of her became too much for her –that's why she originally fled Canada to Kuwait–, she now seems to have used this strategy again and is reporting in new videos from another country. This time the choice of their new home alone is causing criticism.
Chantal Sarault has recently been filming himself in Syria and critics strongly assume that these are simple ones Misery tourism bargain. Several users commented that they suspected that Sarault wanted to take advantage of the fact that the media would report a lot from the war zone and that she hoped that the algorithm could also benefit her content and play it off to more people.
Others also point out the influencer's lack of sensitivity and empathy who happily films a smoothie sipping from her car and shows bombed-out houses and people who lost everything in the war.
This becomes particularly clear when she shoots in a Syrian KFC copy. While the original in Germany recently had stress with YouTuber Rezo because they showed him illegally in an advertising clip, restaurants are sprouting up in the rest of the world that use the brand's popularity for attention. This also applies to KFG in Syria, which has all sorts of fried foods on offer.
Carelessness or lack of empathy?
Just the thing for a new video, Sarault probably thought as she came into the restaurant with her partner and filmed herself eating a large amount of fries and fried chicken. Among other things, she was happy about how quickly she received her order and that hardly anyone had been in the restaurant without even the idea that chicken parts were priced at the equivalent of 17 dollars for an average war-torn Syrian family were unaffordable.
Sarault ignored comments that wanted to point this out or dismissed them as hate, as is common practice in influencer circles, but the Muk Bang YouTuber's critics have proven several times that they would not be easily shaken off. However, it remains to be seen whether the influence of viewers who have something against their behavior extends as far as Syria.

Foodie Beauty flees animal cruelty allegations to Syria, leaving her cat in the war zone

The fact that Chantal Sarault travels through world history is her own business, but the fact that she endangers animals causes legitimate outcries.

A lot of criticism of Foodie Beauty
Some criticize the excessive consumption of food in their Mukbang videos –even if that is their problem alone and, even if it reaches a health-endangering level, she would primarily suffer – others criticize them for their self-promotional manner and the lack of self-reflection.
A few boomers criticize any form of streamer or influencer anyway, right-wingers and conservatives complain about her hijab and demand that she be sent back to her home country, where she should then live under the poor conditions there (which ultimately just exposes the ignorance again, since the good woman comes from Canada).
But there are also aspects of Sarault that are really worthy of criticism. For example, their ruthless treatment of their own animals and their husbandry as well as their questionable morals, for example due to a recent alleged crime Donation fraud in which she collected money for animals in Kuwait–, but the money should never have reached one of the relevant organizations similar to one Islamist TikTok preacher who was convicted in Germany of embezzling 500,000 euros in donations.
From Canada to the war zone
The current focus is on their escape again. Because of the donation incident, Foodie Beauty –according to the influencer on YouTube – traveled back from Kuwait to her native Canada when users found out based on their food choices and even wrote to her landlord, who then threw her out the door(Sarault and her husband now moved to Syria.
Her problematic presentation of the situation on site was repeatedly criticized. Pictures in which she looks at houses destroyed by bombs while sipping smoothies speak for themselves.
However, the fact that she keeps talking about how the situation on site is only half as bad as people outside Syria would make it out to be makes many users angry.
In fact, Foodie Beauty even plays with this criticism. After recently streaming near a building that was destroyed by rocket fire days later, she did not come forward for a long time to raise concerns about herself. She repeatedly stays offline for several days to spark rumors that something might have happened to her in Syria, only to claim that the internet or electricity were down – all things that critics could falsify.
She repeatedly emphasizes how satisfied and friendly the people in Syria are and how shelter and food are offered to her wherever she is. She regularly reports that she has been a guest of friends or strangers –recently, however, a remark slipped out that reignited another of her numerous backlashes.
Cat Julia left alone in the war zone for days
Because when she talked about staying with supposedly hospitable Syrians in a neighboring town for several days, the chat asked about Julia, Sarault's cat, who had brought her to Syria.
The fact that Foodie Beauty and her husband were away from home for more than a day caused concern for the animal, her questionable attempts to defuse the worries also failed. Her claim that she had left Julia three bowls full of water, food and an empty litter box could not change her mood, because no matter how independent cats may seem or even be in their everyday lives, they need certain circumstances to feel comfortable.
Regular interactions and cuddles are immensely important for such socially influenced animals –not to mention the simple fact that even the freshest food should not be displayed openly in the Syrian climate for so long, as the development of germs and bacteria can occur particularly quickly.
No insight at all from the influencer
When the chat would not be dissuaded from criticizing Foodie Beauty for this and generally denounced that the Muk Bang influencer had brought an innocent animal to a war zone, Sarault did what she always does when the criticism gets too loud for her: she ignores them.
We can only hope that what she does whenever local authorities become aware of her and her behavior – leaves the country will follow soon. Maybe the audience will soon hopefully know their cat Julia in a less dangerous place – with a bit of luck even far away from Chantal Sarault himself.

Food influencer commits animal donation fraud, flees to Syria and now does the same with children

Foodie Beauty seems to want to steal donations again –this time not with stray cats, but with a child who was supposed to go to school.
Unlike Sarault herself, we refrain from showing the girl uncensored. | © YouTube
We've been reporting on Foodie Beauty and the questionable things she does for some time now. It's less about her existence as a Mukbang influencer, a form of video that is all about eating particularly large amounts of food, but about the things she does outside of it.
The history of "foodie beauty"
Her case received greater attention after she moved to Kuwait from her native Canada with her husband Salah Al-Refae and collected –or at least pretended to collect donations for stray cats. Shortly afterwards, the animal protection associations there confirmed that no one was working with her and she would have abandoned the stray kitten that she had shown in her videos long ago.
When the authorities in Kuwait were looking for her because of donation fraud, Chantal Sarault (real name Foodie Beauty) first fled back to Canada because of a burger discovered, lost her accommodation and then fled to Syria with her husband.
There, too, she was confronted with harsh criticism because she not only showed little empathy for the local people and filmed herself doing so Walked past bombed-out houses sipping smoothies, theirs Cat alone left behind while she was with friends for several days and most recently that too wanted to put Syria's ailing health system in a positive light, just to contradict their critics.
Suddenly she shows a strange child in the stream
And the scandals surrounding the 41-year-old still don't stop. Most recently, in her streams and videos, she always showed a girl who she claimed was a friend's child who she would look after.
Where it is already quite problematic to drag minors in front of a camera and use them for your own stream content, the problems that many saw with it lie much deeper: Sarault claimed that she wanted to pay for the girl's school enrollment and therefore asked her viewers again for donations of at least $1,000 for clothing, the way to school and excursions, which was met with corresponding skepticism.
For her part, of course, Foodie Beauty claimed that people's hesitation would just be unnecessary hatred against her and would show that people were simply unwilling to help a poor Syrian girl.
Furthermore, although she repeatedly showed the girl in her videos, she explained that she would not reveal the child's real name or her future school for fear that people would locate her.
Another donation scam?
It was clear to most users that Sarault was keeping so many things secret because it would make it easier for her to cover up the renewed donation fraud.
Some users also noted that Sarault had recently discussed the renovation work on her house in Syria and assumed that she would want to use the money for it.
As usual, Foodie Beauty did not respond to any criticism or dismiss it as an unjustified hate – strangely enough, when it came to the renovation work, she spoke out and claimed that she and her husband had more than enough money to cover the costs of the house to cover several times.
When the question arose again as to why she wouldn't cover the girl's education costs from the stream herself, Sarault said that she just wanted to show that no one but herself was willing to help a child.
Critics powerless?
Unlike what happened in Kuwait and Canada, Sarault's critics in Syria find it much more difficult to get to them, not least because of the language barrier and the opaque situation in the war zone.
So time will have to show whether Foodie Beauty really bears the costs of the girl's school education, whether this is financed through donations or whether the money ends up in a completely different place and how long the influencer really stays in Syria After all, it now seems to be an integral part of their content to flee countries where there is too much headwind.

Foodie Beauty seems to want to steal donations again –this time not with stray cats, but with a child who was supposed to go to school.

We've been reporting on Foodie Beauty and the questionable things she does for some time now. It's less about her existence as a Mukbang influencer, a form of video that is all about eating particularly large amounts of food, but about the things she does outside of it.
The history of "foodie beauty"
Her case received greater attention after she moved to Kuwait from her native Canada with her husband Salah Al-Refae and collected –or at least pretended to collect donations for stray cats. Shortly afterwards, the animal protection associations there confirmed that no one was working with her and she would have abandoned the stray kitten that she had shown in her videos long ago.
When the authorities in Kuwait were looking for her because of donation fraud, Chantal Sarault (real name Foodie Beauty) first fled back to Canada because of a burger discovered, lost her accommodation and then fled to Syria with her husband.
There, too, she was confronted with harsh criticism because she not only showed little empathy for the local people and filmed herself doing so Walked past bombed-out houses sipping smoothies, theirs Cat alone left behind while she was with friends for several days and most recently that too wanted to put Syria's ailing health system in a positive light, just to contradict their critics.
Suddenly she shows a strange child in the stream
And the scandals surrounding the 41-year-old still don't stop. Most recently, in her streams and videos, she always showed a girl who she claimed was a friend's child who she would look after.
Where it is already quite problematic to drag minors in front of a camera and use them for your own stream content, the problems that many saw with it lie much deeper: Sarault claimed that she wanted to pay for the girl's school enrollment and therefore asked her viewers again for donations of at least $1,000 for clothing, the way to school and excursions, which was met with corresponding skepticism.
For her part, of course, Foodie Beauty claimed that people's hesitation would just be unnecessary hatred against her and would show that people were simply unwilling to help a poor Syrian girl.
Furthermore, although she repeatedly showed the girl in her videos, she explained that she would not reveal the child's real name or her future school for fear that people would locate her.
Another donation scam?
It was clear to most users that Sarault was keeping so many things secret because it would make it easier for her to cover up the renewed donation fraud.
Some users also noted that Sarault had recently discussed the renovation work on her house in Syria and assumed that she would want to use the money for it.
