Background

Let’s set the scene.

Alias: Father Bennet, government name reportedly Samuel Bennet.

Role: TikTok preacher since 2020 — despite not being ordained at the time.

Baptism: Got baptised in 2022 by a supporter named Dave — Dave later had a breakdown and dipped faster than Bennet’s promises.

Family: Two brothers, one sister.

Career track record: A lovely parade of failed or struck-off companies.

Self-admitted past: Substance abuse, relapses, and the occasional livestream meltdown fuelled by what viewers described as “coke-fuelled rages.”

Persona: A mix of preacher, fellowship leader, miracle salesman, and TikTok donation magnet.

Personality And Behaviour

This is where the mask slips. Hard.

Preaches love and grace, but calls women “prozzies” and “slappers” on livestreams like he’s auditioning for Misogynist of the Year.

Victim-blaming theology: anyone suffering? “You sinned.” Because nothing says compassion like a priest who thinks he’s Google Karma.

Claims he healed a brain tumour over a livestream. Yep. Fixed cancer through WiFi.

Pushes herbal remedies to people with actual medical conditions like he’s the Poundland Jesus.

Livestream behaviour regularly described as chaotic — mods walked because “the coke rages weren’t worth the trauma.”

Flip-flops between holiness and hostility like he’s speed running hypocrisy.

Lies & Manipulation

Behind the pastoral act sits a pattern of manipulation that could gaslight a solar panel. He boasts about giving away thousands of pounds and hundreds of Bibles, but receipts show it was other people donating while he took the credit. He announced his fellowship was shut down, only for Arizona records to allegedly contradict him. Supporters report promises of refunds that never materialised, emotional grandstanding, and love-bombing specifically aimed at vulnerable people who trusted him. One woman claims he even listed her as next of kin — not out of affection, but to keep her tethered to him. Add in allegations of inappropriate contact with a 14-year-old girl he denies, plus using his children as emotional leverage, and the pattern becomes clear: charm them, confuse them, guilt them, and keep them loyal.

Scams & Fraudulent Claims

The money trail is its own sermon. His “ministry” consistently asked for donations, gifts, and GoFundMe contributions, but supporters say the cash vanished faster than his promises. Multiple fundraisers — from a youth project to a wedding — allegedly never reached their intended recipients. Nicola reports sending €11,300 under contract with nothing delivered and legal letters now involved. Jodie claims she invested £10,000 from her compensation money after he dangled 7% shares, only for it to be allegedly gambled away before he disappeared for months. Others report giving £800 here, £2,000 in TikTok gifts there, entire paychecks gone — all while he claimed every penny was for “the ministry.” He denies ever gambling donor money, insisting it was only his own, but critics point out that when everything is in the same account, that distinction dissolves like holy water on a hot plate.

Public Embarrassments

If the behaviour behind the scenes was messy, the public disasters were practically slapstick. There were livestreams where mods fled in real time because his coke-fuelled rages turned prayer nights into horror films. He’d preach purity while degrading women, claim he healed a brain tumour through prayer, and then pop up the next day asking for more gifts — even after someone dropped £2,000 worth of crocodiles on him. Supporters describe scenes like him leaving Nicola alone in a pub for an hour during a “money emergency,” husbands confronting him about inappropriate behaviour, and him responding by blocking the wives entirely. Even the man who baptised him eventually distanced himself. It paints a picture of someone who turned ministry into melodrama, faith into farce, and public worship into a continuous string of self-inflicted PR disasters.

Final Thoughts

Everything here is based on allegations, receipts, statements, and lived experiences reported by the people involved. Some claims have documents; others rely on testimony.

This isn’t a court — this is a community investigation into someone who built trust, took donations, and left a trail of contradictions behind him.

If any of this is wrong? He can disprove it easily. If any of it is right? Then it paints a picture of a preacher who treats faith like a marketing strategy and donors like an ATM with a hymnal.
