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!

Just saw that she’s going to the Celine premiere. I’m sorry, but WHY?! Celine has worked her ass off for decades, and has been suffering this debilitating illness for years in silence. A very admirable woman. Meanwhile Birdie’s gasp worn a bikini and talked about divorce, and she’s deserving of attending this?! I literally don’t understand this world lol.

Her time will be up soon. You can only fake your way through life for so long and she is the complete opposite of Celine. You’re right, she has worked her ass off, she is talented, she has a quick wit and is incredibly intelligent. She has handled her illness with grace and doesn’t say why me - she says why not me? Sarah has done nothing to earn what she has - in fact she’s lied and deceived people to get it. Any problem Sarah has gets blown out of proportion and the sky is falling. Celine would never respect someone like Sarah.

This. 100% this. Sarah wants people to be jealous of her. She has nothing to be jealous of.

It makes me sad when I see perfectly deserving people suffer from imposter syndrome because society has made them question themselves. Then you have this bitch who is a total fraud and imposter, unapologetically. While pandering to the people I described in the first sentence, making them feel like shit while pretending to be their hero and savior.

And wtf does Sarah even know about her? Titanic and that social media trend where people lipsynched to "All Coming Back to Me Now"? She probably didn't even know Celine was sick (and maybe still doesn't). I'd die if people thought I was that stupid and self-involved.

She knows nothing about her. The National’s anchor did an hour long special with Celine this weekend. It was such a thoughtful, well-prepared and professional interview. I’m sure Sarah didn’t watch it

Yeah, S doesn’t really care about sharing about people who have health issues or countries that are literally experiencing genocide so she won’t care about the disease. This is not an event that I would want to go, and I grew up as a French Canadian where FRENCH Celine was pretty much on the radio nonstop.
