Instead of attempting to debunk her, why not emphasize your proof Sam and Caitriona are together? The 5 second profile Pic is weird as usual but can be explained. They were at a café with coca umbrellas, it's why he was wearing a shirt, when you thumbnail a profile pic with IG (all the time, with everyone), it automatically crops it, and the color and fuzz, well, everyone knows she uses filters. The debunking here is weak. Just as the nephew could have a group of friends he rented with as young people do now. You don't have photos Sam and Nephew were together or staying in the same space, as you dont have photos Sam was with her. It's all weak. No one knows who was where, when or if they met for lunch as friends because she was visiting her vacationing sister and he was on his trip, or not. You guys are all trapped in hers and his little game, if there is one. You are the bored little pawns and being used.

Dear Bored Little Pawns Anon,

The only reason I post your ask is to show idiocy can very well drape itself in complicated formulas and acrobatic reasoning.

Why would a young employee rent a glamorous villa 'with friends', while his millionaire uncle allegedly chose a perfectly Benidorm-looking villa to share with the paramour and co?

This is where you lost me.

I hope you don't mind me calling you out for what you really are: an enthusiastic, persistent cretin.

She did it 🫣🫣

And then anons ask why she would be brought all the way to Mallorca.

For this, apparently. A vaguely family-looking profile picture left up just long enough for someone to notice and screenshot it.

Even then, he looks warmer with most fans. Barely smiling, keeping his distance, no real happiness or affection.

And if this is the photo she chose to “leak,” I can only assume it was the best one she had from the entire trip.

Which really says it all.

[sgiandubh]

I was sure Pearl of Great Price would immediately trumpet the Nothingburger Pic.

Public beach umbrella on top. I have great friends with great wit.

And now license to *urv to SQUEE and thank her 'Team'. Really, really LOL.

Color me shocked.

[craighnadonuts]

She lurks in digital shadows where the fans unite,

Refusing to lose a single fictional online fight.

When Tumblr maps out his secret Spain vacation nuance,

She immediately posts a selfie to ruin their stance.

A blurry tree behind her proves she was there too,

Desperately screaming to the void that the rumors are untrue.

When fans claim his co-star held his heart by the shore,

She deploys a strategic photo to settle the score.

A snapshot of them together with the deep blue sea,

Plastered as her profile picture for the world to see.

Then she deletes it ten minutes later in a panic,

Making the entire fandom laugh at how this inst organic

Did he call her up to yell and stop the charade?

Or is she just the general of a fake love brigade?

[outlanderskin]

She is really predictable. And everything about it looks cheap.

[mojo106]

It’s pathetic, but it was to be expected. Given the pressure the persistent Anons put on yesterday.

Different day, same modus operandi. And a miserable looking guy again.

A side note

Just a quick side note, to tell you the negative Ride Galloway review that is all the rage in DMs and elsewhere made its way to Trip Advisor, too:

[Source: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/ladyb387?fid=875abdbb-0423-48ff-8d36-1039053e1f13 - posted June 28, 2026]

That is still just one (!) negative review, but the woman is definitely angry and determined to spread it around. Unlike the relatively obscure Google Maps, this is taking the discontent to another, more visible, Internet reviews tier. However, realistically speaking, it will be easy for the masses to take it like a personal glitch, unless more will come out.

And yes, Madam Mao dropping the bike in the middle of the ride seems to confirm my - perhaps mean - prior speculation that she probably inflated her own riding abilities, in order to be included.

I am also told there is a second review on Google, that being said, where Madam Mao is portrayed as her usual haughty and entitled self. Never a surprise.

[lallybroch-pr-watch]

Thank you for sharing this. It’s a really interesting review, and I honestly feel bad for that rider. She clearly made the effort to be there, probably traveled quite a distance, and ended up leaving with such a disappointing experience.

A few things stood out to me from what she wrote.

First, leaving people standing in the sun while he gets photographed in the shade is not a great look. It’s not just poor organization, it comes across as dismissive, especially when people made the effort to attend, and when many of them were not exactly young riders looking to stand around in the heat for hours. That’s not how you treat people who showed up to support your event.

In general, the whole thing sounds less like a regional event meant to promote Galloway, the distillery, or the actual riding experience, and more like a PR video for Sam and co.

And that seems to match the content that came out of it. Sam with people. Sam talking. Sam riding. Sam posing for fan photos behind a rope, like some kind of museum exhibit. It felt more like a Sam fan meet than a family or community event.

Imagine for a second that this was a distillery owned by someone completely unknown. Would the owner still be the main product being promoted all weekend? Would most of the footage still revolve around him, his face, his ride, his interactions, his image? Probably not.

And that’s exactly the point that comes through in the rider’s review too. From what she describes, the focus seemed to be on him far more than on the actual product, whether that product was supposed to be the distillery, the ride, or Galloway itself.

Honestly, I’m still not sure I understand what the event was actually meant to be.

The other thing that really stood out to me was the motorcycle issue. If Steph genuinely couldn’t handle the bike, whether because she exaggerated her abilities or not, then to me that proves two things before anything else.

First, Sam has clearly never actually ridden with her to know what her abilities are.

And second, he doesn’t seem particularly concerned about her safety.

Because he absolutely could have arranged for her own motorcycle to be brought from Cork. Or even better, if this were truly a couple situation, he could have made sure he had a bike with a double seat so she could ride with him.

[sgiandubh]

Reblogging my previous post for the ongoing conversation with @lallybroch-pr-watch and because the points she raised are very interesting.

Many people will still try to either focus on the situationship, or showmance, or - what the hell -🎪, or find various excuses for S's behavior. Which is fine by me, as long as this is an open and assumed choice, not to be followed by the usual wailing in DMs and my inbox, every single time things go awry.

Rose-tinted glasses are fine, until they prove useless to explain or excuse everything. And I believe using our critical thinking abilities does not equate with gratuitous hatred, as long as we keep a constructive POV. If this is not your cup of tea, that is absolutely ok with me, and you will surely find your daily dose of cuteness in all the blogs that heavily rely on AI-generated 📸 or superficial content. This corner's collective ability to generate thoughtful and superbly written opinions and to bring interesting things to the table made all the difference. It is also the reason why many of us are passionately detested by people focusing on social media gossip details, but offering very simplistic explanations like 'if he did not like her, he wouldn't date her' to what is a complex tomfoolery, and not the first one.

Circling back to @lallybroch-pr-watch's excellent comment, I will simply add that there seems to be no excuse for what is clearly poor organization of an event that seems to be a whimsical endeavor, rather than part and parcel of a well-thought marketing strategy. I explained why I thought, with evidence, that Madam Mao's bike was evidently not paid for, but comped by the local dealership on a barter basis. Which emphasizes the inexplicable absence of her own bike for what was - one final time - a difficult ride for a beginner, in unfamiliar territory.

And before you blame the foreign fan, just think for a moment: if that was your time and your money, how would you feel, if your experience was frustrating?

I know I would never push things that far as that fan did -the Landcon, then the Macbeth Mommies' debacle were eye-opening experiences, for me. But that is a moot point, here. Time will tell if this is just an accident, or the sign of an ambitious project left to incompetent hands.

As always, thank you, @lallybroch-pr-watch.

Geography is a bitch

This Anon was received by a well-known Anti account - many, hopefully unaware, shippers reblog without even a second thought - this evening. It comes exactly on point with S's Mallorca IG story and reads like this:

I am surprised the host did not check, or ask around. And I am surprised even more, given the stalking/obsessive reputation of that particular blogger.

Anyways, the two IG stories Anon could have referred to are these two reposts, from last Tuesday (06/30):

The IG account bio is not very conclusive:

It also links to one of those suspicious casino webpages - but hey, intelligence was never Barnyard Bimbo's forte. Still, their Threads bio is very clear about the creators' whereabouts:

The account is based in Germany. Not exactly Spain, isn't it?

The second and last IG story repost is this one:

This time, it's also very clear. But hey, why not let the masses dream, or in this case, emptily speculate?

Now let's see where Mrs. Bombonato is based, shall we?

Milan. Perhaps to Anon's surprise, that is not Spain, either.

I mean, I get it. Placing Missouri or North Dakota on a blank map is one of my ideas of intellectual terror, for sure. However, unlike Anon and their unsuspecting host, I am not ready to make a fool of myself in public over this. I prefer to double-check my own stupidity and believe a day when I did not learn anything new is a lost day.

And no, it's nowhere near Spain. But I suppose the Bullshit Story was too good to pass, wasn't it?

PS: gracias a ti, siempre.

Venga ya Bat! Sube un sinfin de fotos del evento motero pero no tiene los huevos de subir una donde aparezca clara y nítida el amor de la temporada a pesar de que ha sido fotografiada desde todos los ángulos posibles. Steph, si yo fuese tu, pediría por Amazón una buena dosis de autoestima para ti y una vara de avellano para darle fuerte y duro en el cuello a Sam. Si hasta los Nics merecen su foto de reconocimiento 😂

Translate ⬇

Come on, Bat! You upload countless photos from the biker event, but you don't have the guts to post a single one where this season's love interest is clearly and sharply visible, even though she's been photographed from every possible angle.

Steph, if I were you, I'd order a good dose of self-esteem from Amazon for yourself and a hazel stick to give Sam a good hard whack on the neck. Even the Nics get their own recognition photo! 😂

[sgiandubh]

Hand me down outfit by an improvised 'bestie'. And a comped perk motorcycle test drive by the ever serviceable local dealer - because, after all, this was part of The Great Homecoming PR Operation.

Savvy Scot. Think about all those Mommies who honestly thought 'awww, he bought her a new bike' - what is she, 12? what is he, 'Daddy'?

And who will probably never understand what this Facebook post really means:

[Source: Hollywood Service Station's Facebook account - posted June 25, 2026]

This is another mutually beneficial product placement/advertisement stunt, as we can see in this pic, posted by the same Facebook account:

The older chap on the right is Gordon Landsburgh, the dealer's General Manager. He made sure to post this pic showing that Benda Chinchilla 500 motorbike Madam Mao rode on. And, of course, made sure S was nearby.

How do I know who he is? I was generously tipped - thank you, sweetheart, you know who you are and so sorry I am so late - and I do cross-check, too:

The rest was very easy:

[Source: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordon-landsburgh-64513021/]

That the General Manager of the local dealership actively showed up at that event should be enough for anyone who can put one and one together. This was a business thing, complete with the nice bit of the lady riding that bike - tagged accordingly:

Benda Motorcycles, the bike's Chinese manufacturer is tagged along the distillery, with which the dealership partnered for a bit of a promo. But why, you might ask.

Here's why:

[Source: Hollywood Service Station's Facebook account - posted June 23, 2026]

The dealership posted this two days before the event. A new addition to their stock, calling for some sales promo with the local celeb' at their new local distillery.

Nothing less. But also - nothing more.

The Biker Poem

She grips the handlebars with frantic dread,

The massive iron frame weighs tons, she said.

She tries to lift the beast, but it outweighs

The flimsy Hollywood romance she plays.

Her boots slip upon the dusty floor,

She cannot balance this machine of war.

It tilts, it leans, her muscles start to strain,

A heavy metal source of public pain.

The actor revs his engine, ready to depart,

While hundreds pounds of steel keep her far apart.

She drops the 'biker vibe' before she even starts,

Crushing her ego and her lying heart.

I want to clarify how toxic the accounts fans are blindly listening to and believing are. This photo was posted before implying it’s from a family trip with Sam, when in fact it is from June 2025 when they filmed a video to accompany Talos’ song “A dawning” released after his death. The original post of this picture is underneath.

We are branded haters for honestly calling out the bullshit we see. Yet these accounts are acceptable by posting fake narratives.

[bat-cat-reader]

Okay. That latest PR/S/M photo / S holding the purse. Well, I follow C fashion and that bag S is holding looks like C's purse French Connection Women's Reese Trio Crossbody Black 1 Crossbody Bag. Check it on web its the same shape size. etc. Ha! Maybe C took the photo. Husband holding her purse while she takes the photo and M talks in a group behind S.

Very interesting !!!

How very bloody interesting.

This means both of them are in cahoots with “the dark side”. 😖😒😞

[sgiandubh]

Perfect quote, indeed.

[outlanderskin]

Yesterday, my daughter was telling me how much she admires the way the guys from BTS manage to keep their love lives under the radar. They are all young, handsome, and wealthy, and have a massive fanbase—and they certainly haven't taken a vow of chastity—yet to this day, no one has come forward with proof of having dated or currently dating any of them. She said she really admires the people they might be or have been involved with, because they handle—or handled—the situation the right way, without seeking the spotlight or trying to ride on the group's fame.

And we are talking about award-winning artists who sell out stadiums around the world.

Meanwhile, an artist whose fame is limited to the fanbase of a show that has already ended continues to display behavior that contradicts everything he has said in interviews about being a private person. And the chosen one of the moment—like all the others before her—continues to ride his coattails, performing everywhere and turning what should be an organic connection into a poorly written spectacle with a predictable script. It comes as no surprise that the only side viewing this as a love story is the one with the most limited worldview—the same side that believed, all this time, that every figure paraded by the Troll (who is a useful pawn in the game) was the love of his life. The same people who believed in this🤣🤣🤣:

[wordlady60]

Today was a hard day for my husband. Even though your child is gone you are always a parent. They were best friends. He's having heart surgery on Thursday and there's so many emotions these days. We miss our boy.

[sgiandubh]

I am awfully late for this, but could you please send a nice thought to our fellow blogger? Thanks.

[mummygolucky]

It's a mystery really...or is it?

So Sam can manage to fake a smile with all his fans throughout the day...but can't manage one more for the "love of his life"???

It's just annoying how stupid it all is... 🙄🙄🙄

And NO, I'm not going to post that "happy family" photo here.
