Hello new Lemmy friends!
Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.
The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.
Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.
We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!

I’m sorry but I feel so bad for M (and the other kids too). She’s still off playing make believe in Hollywood and her daughter is at home packing up her belongings and probably very nervous for such a big moment in her young life and she doesn’t even have her mom there for her because her mom would rather dress up as Beetlejuice. I truly hope she’s with her dad and step mom and not having to worry that she has no one there for her.
I guess the haunted tour was way more important than supporting her daughter as she starts uni. Surely she could have skipped the last day.
Seriously, the whole event looked mediocre at best and I think she could’ve said no this time. Just because you’re in a “yes era” it doesn’t mean you have to say yes EVERY single time. I think she’s terrified of saying no and being forgotten about.
Maybe she could say “yes” to her daughter 😕
She never says yes to her kids. 🥴
Do you think she’s really going to try and become a movie reviewer? It’s really laughable but she has absolutely no shame and did say she was going to review the movie next week.
Could you imagine? She isn’t even a good writer lol. She’ll prob rip off reviews from online like the plagiarist she is.
Otherwise she would need a literate ghost writer. Someone to actually put together a cohesive understandable sentence , let alone a paragraph !
That whole trip looks like something she should have skipped!
I would be spending this time with M. if she was my daughter. You don’t get those moments back. I really struggle to understand this but then S. is a selfish jerk so it tracks.
Right? She whines about how tough it all is for her that M is leaving yet she’s the one leaving and flying off instead of spending her last days at home with her. Make it make sense! You can’t complain how tough it is when you’re not even there.
I know! The packing is hard. She’s really close to Nana so she’s probably helping out. It might be better without Birdie who would keep telling her it’s okay to leave things since she’s coming back every weekend.
I did think of that too, maybe she’s better off not having Sarah there as she’d just be blubbering and making all about her and her feelings
