They're nobodies, he bigs himself up a lot. I doubt even a local rag would pick it up. The only time he seems to get media attention is doing something sensational (likes of showing the birth online - nothing like it was hyped up to be really) and complaining about those awful meanies on the internet.

I honestly think she just can't grasp that not everyone bows down and worships them. Pretty scary that she can't see the screw ups with Emilia when she has her own kids.

I should just one day when my husband is home from work, just shoot an email to these journalists and work with them to create a questionnaire for the next interview. I am not hating on these interviewers but it seems like the majority don't watch these two. They need a perspective from an actual viewer that isn't a pre-teen minion. It can be something that I put in my portfolio for work, and the truth will be brought to light. It's a win win!

I am a fan and follower of "UnlimitedElizabeth". I think she's very creative and a dear sweet mother to her little boy Buddy. I was so disappointed tonight when she posted her video "Life Questions". At about 2:40 she gets quite emotional about her life. What threw me for a loop is that she actually admires Anna Succoni. You gotta watch this. I just wanted to reach through the screen and tell her NOOOOOO! Anna is not someone you want to emulate.

I couldn't be more jealous. I just talked to my colleague today about just quitting our jobs and running away (well, taking a flight) to australia :D *sigh* should I ever go there, I'll bring you a ton of milk mousies with hazelnut bits :) they're delicious <3 my favourite by far.

and if I ever go to ecuador, I make sure to bring a ton of them for lemontree as well :D

yeah! that's the one! apparently only the brand name of the cosmetic stuff differs but not the product name itself. in australia it's lacura, over here it's biocura. interesting. moisturizer twinsiiiie! hell yeah!
I love to just go grocery shopping in different countries! although new york (harlem) was a bit of a challenge at this hispanic supermarket. lol.

I actually really like that aldi sells local products. it's the same here. maybe every supermarket does it, I'm not sure.
What appeals to you about Australia? I love hearing what other people think/what they would like to see or do here :D

Yum the milk mousies with hazelnut bits sound so good!! I heard they taste like these mini kinder eggs which I absolutely LOVE. When I was a kid they sold these kinder eggs all year round but now you can only get them at Easter :(

I love grocery shopping in different countries too! :D When Jofatso and Beigey used to go to Tesco I was interested in seeing all the Irish products on the shelves, of course we usually only got to see Jonathan in the chocolate isle and chips isle but anyway. I was surprised how we have a lot of the same products as Ireland here.

Haha I never went to Harlem! But I loved shopping for groceries in New York! :love2:

You can see at your most recent meetups how you got Anna to call you on your cell phone so you can run in with the theme song going in hopes that all your pre-teen worshippers would be giving you a standing ovation and.....it fell flat.
Hahaha that was one of my favourite Saccone Joly moments! I think he thought there would be cheering and screaming like at a One Direction concert. But the kids just sounded kinda indifferent and said "oh hey" :)

I've just joined this forum after months upon months of reading this thread in particular. I have so much to say that I don't quite know where to begin, but I should say that I'm an Irish girl near Anna's age.
Their general behaviour disgusts me. So many people in Ireland are unemployed and struggling right now, and it seems like they really take everything for granted, spending all of their money, etc. Most people here would be extemely careful and prudent with their income, especially after the economy went bust a few years back. His Porsche disgusts me. I really believe he is more than a bit odd and has an awful influence on her. I recall someone on here saying a while ago that he reminded them of their ex - me too! My ex was controlling and eccentric just like Jofus.
Anna is no better, though - she is lazy and has never had a proper job. I can't believe that she wouldn't even try to get a proper degree given that her dad was such an academic. If she applied herself, she could be great - just look at her sister Emma! Anna seems to totally lack motivation and is unable to think for herself. I cannot believe that she can't even cook properly, it's just stunning to me. They are not generally well-known here at all and if they became more well-known, I know for a fact that most Irish people would share the opinions of the people on this board.
Now, on to Emilia. They take her completely for granted and do not care for her safety. I believe that they love her but they fail to count their blessings. She was conceived with ease (miraculously, IMO), and their boasting about that made me really sick. Another well-known Irish blogger/vlogger Amy Dillon was pregnant at the same time as Anna and sadly lost her baby - Anna never even acknowledged this AFAIK. They are so incredibly self-centred, it makes me sick. I just hope that the majority of you people know that us Irish people are, on the whole, nothing like these weirdoes! :)

Phew sorry that was very long! :HK:
I thought the exact same thing! I can't believe that a couple would flaunt their new found wealth like that! To me there is nothing more vulgar and low brow than showcasing all the stuff you bought with your "new money". Any smart person would save, save, save for a rainy day. Even Mama June from Honey BooBoo puts all their funds from the show into savings accounts for all her kids.

From the article - Jonathan attended a private school, had elocution lessons and let's not forget the trips to New York.

Yes, it sounds like you were very poor and did it very tough, like you always say Jonathan.

The journalist must have gotten something mixed up... perhaps he went to St Declan's for primary before Terenure College.

what? I'm all for controversy but that sounds like bullshit to me. unless I see proof.

edit: can we find her birth year somewhere? I'm quite curious, I have to admit!
It's not true because in her attic bedroom at MSD's house it has her school awards for being prefect and so on, Jonathan filmed them and I remember the year said 2004 on it or thereabouts.

Welcome OPIessie :D. I subbed to Anna a LONG time ago, around the time she first came out. I'm not sure how I found her though. The vlogs however, I found through the Schuermans. I think I may have unsubbed to Anna after seeing a few of her videos, so I was interested when I found out later she was vlogging with her fiance. I liked the vlogs but thought that she was horribly mean to her fiance. THEN the pee on a stick thing happened and it left a sour taste in my mouth, but I felt interested in watching because I knew Anna didn't want kids and dreaded the thought of pregnancy. Then the puppies came and I thought holy goodness, this isn't going to turn out well with 6/7 dogs and a baby, so I was interested in how they were going to keep their heads above the water. Low and behold, they really can't. They are grasping at straws to keep an audience. Yeah they have 60+ thousand subs, but maybe half if not less are tuning in.. Subs don't generate money..the views do. So he might as well have 10-30 thousands subs. Then he goes on these interviews and spouts off lie after lie. I don't get how any of these people don't see it. You don't work 24/7 and you don't get 2 million views a month. They have 16 million views total, how is that 2 million views over the 2.5 years you have been vlogging?! If that was true you would have well over 50 million views. How is it that the interviewers can't do their math and add it up?! And no he isn't talking about TheStyleDiet and Leflooftv combined because he always says, 2 million people tune into our vlogs every month. The only thing you are successful at J is being a pathological liar.

'200,000 watched Emilia being born on YouTube. It's a business and it's only going to get bigger'.(News)


Daily Mail (London)
September 29, 2012

Permalink
Byline: by Nicola Byrne

ANNA Saccone, star of the Irish internet reality soap The SacconeJolys, must be one of the few women to have given birth at Cork University Hospital-this-year-in-full-make-up. Earlier- this- month,- as- the- 24-year-old- panted- and- groaned- while- giving- birth- to- her- daughter,-milia,- her- 'face'- stayed- perfectly- in- place- --- as- 200,000-people-watched-on-via-YouTube.

Only in the final stages of pushing did her lipstick appear to come away, a fact that wa-noted-with-satisfaction-by-thousands-of-her-loyal- online- female- followers.- 'You- go- girl'- and- 'Oh- my,- how-is-it-possible-to-be-so-gorgeous-during-labour?- Congratulations!'- are- a- flavour- of- the- comments- she- received,- with- others- noting- that- the- 12-minute- daily- make-up- routine- that- Anna- swears-by-'really-does-work'.

Even as her husband and co-star, Jonathan Joly, kept his lens trained on her face, Anna made only the odd frown during the birth, at a time- when- other- women- might- have- hurled-the-camera-across-the-room.

'We're in this together,' says Jonathan, explaining-his-wife's-willingness-to-share- one- of- the- most- intimate- moments- of- her-life-with-the-world.

'It's a business and it generates a very good living for us. And it's only going to get bigger, we have followers all over the world and in ten years' time, who knows where we'll be with it?-This-is-the-future- of- broadcasting- and- we're- right- here- at- the-beginning.' It's now almost three years since the couple started to 'Vlog' (video blog) their day-to-day life in a 15-minute show called The SacconeJolys, which is uploaded daily. Based in the not overly glamourous suburb of Rochestown in Cork, the internet hit depicts the couple as they go about chores such as doing the weekly shop at Tesco, cleaning the house and putting the bins out. The humdrum is spiced up with big life events- such- as- the- couple's- wedding,- and-now-the-birth-of-their-daughter.

By the end of the first year, they were receiving average daily hits of between 6,000 and 8,000. That figure is now closer to 50,000 and with their output now being- distributed- by- an- independent- agency- in- Los- Angeles,- their- audience- seems-likely-to-grow.

When the show started in 2010, the couple were engaged and had two Maltese-puppies,-Albi-and-Sina.

Now they are married, have four more puppies and a baby -- the arrival of whom has put the focus sharply on the rights and wrongs of subjecting an infant-to-this-kind-of-exposure.

Jonathan, 32, readily admits that, as was reported in our sister paper the Irish Mail on Sunday, not all the attention- they- have- received- since- the- birth- of- Emilia- has- been- positive.- In- fact,- numerous- obscene- and- abusive- messages- have- been- posted- on- their- site.- It's- something- that- disturbs- him,- although-not-enough-to-stop-filming.

'Some of the comments were horrible,' he says. 'We told our viewers in advance that we were going to film our daughter's birth. People said they were hoping we would have a miscarriage- or- that- our-aby would be stillborn. There were a lot of mean and horrible things said before and after Emilia's arrival. Anna looked good throughout her pregnancy and I think people were quite jealous about that. People say what they want these days and there's not a lot we can do about it. It's been going on for as long as we have-been-posting-the-videos- but-it-got-worse-during-the-pregnancy.' However, dozens of viewers have questioned the couple's parenting skills, arising out of a number of episodes including one where Jonathan films one of his dogs 'washing' the newborn infant's-face-by-licking-it-all-over.

'Since she was born we've been getting comments about how we are bad parents and that we aren't holding her properly and that we are horrible parents who are killing- her- and- that- type-of-thing.-It-does-make-you-secondguess-yourself,'-he-admits.

'We are confident as parents but we're only human, too, and you start wondering- "Am- I- doing- this- right?"- I- know- those- dogs,- though,- they're- not- hurting-anyone.' Official- HSE- guidelines- directed- at- new- parents- would- disagree,- however.- These-warn-that-all-dogs-are-a-potential- threat-and-often-see-infants-as-rivals-for- their- owner's- affection.- 'Even- though- dogs- can- be- trained- they- still- have- instinctive-behaviours,'-reads-the-booklet,- which- is- routinely- handed- out- to- new- parents-by-public-health-nurses.

'It does not matter how well you know the dog -- young children can unintentionally- provoke- the- dog- who- may,- in- turn,-snap.' For- the- moment,- though,- the- couple- has- no- plans- to- separate- Emilia- from- the- dogs,- although- Jonathan- says- he- does-not-take-his-family's-safety-lightly.

With- no- apparent- irony,- he- says- he- is- particularly-worried-about-their-privacy- and- takes- steps- so- that- the- location- of- their- rented- home- isn't- made- general- knowledge.

When- arranging- this- interview,- he- would-agree-only-to-meet-in-a-local-hotel- and- not- the- family- home,- disclosing- its- location-only-as-'somewhere-in-Rochestown'.

However,- later- he- admits- that- 'half-of-Cork'-knows-where-he-lives-and- that- local- children- often- push- presents- for- himself,- his- wife- and,- recently,- baby- Emilia-though-their-letter-box.

The really sinister messages he receives almost always come from outside of Ireland and mostly the United States, where most of the couple's fanbase is located. Many US fans don't appear to know that the show is filmed outside of the States, although the near constant slate grey skies over Cork are a bit of-a-giveaway.

'I knew going into this that we would be vulnerable and exposed so I've put the proper precautions in place. I don't film everything that happens in our house, what you see is only 15 minutes- out-of-our-day.' Jonathan- also- says- he- would- never- film-Emilia's-nappy-being-changed,-less- because- of- possible- preying- perverts- but- incase- his- daughter- finds- it- objectionable-when-she's-older.

'The day she turns around to me and says "Daddy I don't want to do this any more" is the day that I'll stop filming her. But her mom and I will continue to Vlog. And you know what? I figure if Emilia is anything like me and her mom, she will love it because we love doing it and she came out of-us.' Although Jonathan was born and raised in Terenure, south Dublin, he sounds like an American -- though he says he never- spent- any- length- of- time- there.

'I don't think I sound American. My mum was very keen for us to speak well and sent us to- elocution- lessons- when- we-were-young-so-maybe-that's-it.' He went to the fee-paying Terenure College for secondary school but says he was bullied relentlessly and 'physically beaten to a pulp'. He moved to St- Declan's- school- in- Ballsbridge- for-hildren with 'emotional and personal difficulties', according to its website, and fared much better.

But it wasn't until 2006 when he was already in his mid-20s that he moved to Cork, met Anna and 'everything fell into place'.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, to a half-Irish mother and an Italian father, Anna has lived in Cork since she was seven (but has retained her American accent). She was studying at University College Cork when she met Jonathan, although she later dropped out and began forging a career for herself as a stylist.

Jonathan began to study digital media at a vocational college before moving to Bournemouth with Anna to complete his degree. Back in Cork, he took up a job managing a digital media company with 16 employees.

Then the couple decided a video blog could be a good way to make money and their first broadcast attracted 100 viewers, most of whom they knew. Now they are YouTube partners, meaning their broadcasts carry adverts relevant to whatever part of the world they're being watched in and they pick up a percentage of the revenue.

Jonathan reveals he was naturally drawn to Vlogging to combat his isolation in his teens. 'As someone who was a loner for years, it's been very easy for me to make friends online,' ays 'I've finally found something he says. 'I've finally found something I love doing.' Jonathan says The SacconeJolys has more viewers than many TV3 or RTE programmes and they also have more followers on Twitter than most 'so-called Irish celebrities'.

However he's reluctant to elaborate on who he's talking about. 'You know who I mean,' he says. 'The guys from Fade Street and other people who fall out of Krystle nightclub at all hours of the morning.' His style of broadcasting is the way forward, he says, pointing to the fact that RTE's Miriam O'Callaghan has included them in a documentary about the future of Irish broadcasting to be screened next month.

'Mass media is moving away from 'Mass media is moving away from mainstream, even TV, to interactive and I want to be part of that.' However, internet trolls aren't the only people who may disapprove of the couple's career choice. Jonathan admits that although his mother is fully supportive, the relationship with his father is 'difficult' -- he didn't attend the couple's wedding last year. It took place in Italy and, of course, was filmed and uploaded within hours. 'I'm hoping he'll be around more with the birth of his granddaughter,' Jonathan says.

For the moment the couple are staying in Cork, although the lure of the States continues to attract them. 'I love Ireland but I'm aware that the market in Britain would be so much bigger and then the States would be even bigger again. But I don't think we'd have the support we do here in Cork.

'We just walk out on Patrick Street and in Tesco and everyone says: "How's it going? You're the ones off the internet." It's great. And we're not worried about Emilia.

'Should I go and get a normal job? What about Ryan Tubridy or Pat Kenny? No-one asks how being famous affects their kids. If things go well, this thing is going to be huge and that means providing for my wife and kid. If my parents had made a video diary of my life. I'd be pretty happy about that.'

Labour of love: Anna Saccone and Jonathan Joly posted the birth of baby Emilia online

Through this article I've actually found out about those 2 morons. Never heard about them before that. And the first time I got to watch them, I felt instantly that something and A LOT was off.
I still don't get it why this filmed birth is something people talk so much about, as it's one of the first ones to be put out there, online?!? It's not like it is the only one on YT. I've watched several others. Somebody enlighten me please?

So glad to see more people come to the "dark side" aka The Common Sense side ;)

Its so scary to read comments under their videos and to see people defending their stupidity & carelessness with little E!

Oh my goodness, finally caught up. I used to post a bit on here a couple months back and on the old GG, but I've been super busy lately. There have been lots of times I was several pages back and really wanted to comment on something, but you lovely ladies said it all! I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this, keeping up on the SaconneFonies by reading here is so much more entertaining than lowering my IQ by watching them everyday! And even though you may not recognize me, I feel like I know you all... I've seen so many new posters saying that they read here and see the light about these two, so keep up the good work ladies! :)
Just a cupcake who found her studmuffin.
