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!

Is it possible for her to talk about anything without reminding everyone how it affects her or how she experienced it first?
Please pray for a dog who's not even in a serious condition ( I looked at bri insta view, it's precaution)
But let's not pray for the people affected by war everyday or for the people in NC under water or missing and hey, let's go "celebrate" on the day for reconciliation by getting our make up did and doing our own little photoshoot! Fuck this woman is PATHETIC!
She won’t speak up for Palestinian kids being murdered or trans kids taking their own lives. She has her phone out as an Indigenous person sings….
but she knows the algorithm would never hate on her for caring about a dog. I also feel awful for G getting sick because animals are helpless. But so are Palestinian kids, residential school survivors, trans kids
🎯
Wonder if they’ll start a GoFundMe, like she did with her own dog - when it was HER fault her dog needed surgery because she left gum lying around.
Sarah pulled a scam with her dog's go fund me. At the time she thought she mastered public sympathy. She collected from a GoFundMe campaign (to cover her dog's vet bills) ...bills she could already afford. Then she was called out. She pivoted and claimed the funds were generously donated elsewhere. She always stirs the kind of drama you expect from the least refined corners of social media. I'll find the posts. This reminds me of how fake her follower numbers are. Many people have quit Sarah. Who are her followers? 🤖
😮 I did not know this!!!!
Me neither but that’s so shady as she’s pretty much always been able to afford it.
If BirdShit can afford all these Reno’s and a 2 million dollar cottage she can fork over the $$ for Bestie’s vet bills. After all Gucci is more important to them than their own dog
I was super annoyed at her saying the dog is “in emerge”. Emergency. Good god be a grown up occasionally.
I would like to add she has talked about this so many times(because she is a broken record) you would think Bestie would know not to let her dog anywhere near it.
Came here just to see if someone had the same thoughts as I did and of course you all do! Literally EVERYTHING has to affect her in someway or another, it’s always about her.
Nope.
