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!

For the love of all that is good and holy (my Grandma used to say that) can she please stop drawing attention to her belly button. Absolutely no one, but her, cares but I fear she’s making a lot of women think about something they never felt self-conscious about before in their lives!
Oh no, a belly button. Whatever will we do. 😔
... 👉 Poke
😂
This dress is horrendous. Body suit with silk chaps. Is it actually a dress or is it meant to be worn as a layer? It’s giving 10 year old in a sweatshop sewed this.
She said she’s so proud of her look! All that woman’s taste is in her mouth!
This outfit looks like a bedsheet 😭😭
As per usual, rambling on about "problems" that only exist because the woman doesn't ever wear the right size or get anything fitted properly.
I hate this dress so much. She has the worst taste!!!
The worst taste !!!! Those shoes are more awful and than the dress
How is someones style this bad?
She loves to draw attention to things that otherwise aren’t issues. That way, her followers can thank her for “normalizing” the problem they don’t realize she created. She’s gross and dangerous.
She has and that dress is absolutely awful.. No words.
Her belly button trauma era has been loooonggg_ 😂🤦♀️
Yup, I have a similar one to hers and never thought about mine showing through fabric being embarrassing until she pointed out her ✨trauma✨.
Does she not know what seamstress is? It's really not that expensive to get things tailored more for you. Heck, I'm surprised she doesn't do that as an excuse to lie about the size or having to take things in.
