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!

Nothing irks me more than when an influencer uses vague terms like cute or comfy to describe something they are shilling. Describe why it is comfy, does is not ride up? or the waistband stays put? does it stop chub rub? Use your words and give me reasons. This is just lazy.
THIS!! She’s the laziest influencer to me, idk how any brands want to use her. She doesn’t influence me to want to buy anything.
But can we talk about the lazy editing in slimming her legs haha so bad
Probably because she overspent at Disney....
I'm guessing she has been there to do reviews of the restaurants and received some kind of compensation. She has historically hadgreedy grifting behavior who cries victim when she gets called out. Edited to add: Janette Ewen’s insights were so helpful in understanding this.
I really found Janette’s post about going to Disney with a grifter eye-opening and we know Sarah is pro at not paying for anything
Google Disney+Influencer programs. SNL is considered a mega influencer influencer by Disney standards. I'm not judging people who accept freebie's. What's possibly problematic is the lack of disclosure. I find SNL's post about saving for the Disney trip patronizing. Did she save? I doubt it. If I wasn't blocked I'd ask "what portion of your Disney experience was complementary"?
I looked it up, Sarah's a Disney mega influencer she's all comp vacations, experiences and one cruise a year. option She's never paid for Disney. She needs to disclose this.
You saw that she is working for Disney for free stuff?
I believe that, legally, she does need to disclose this under the CRA rules. How does she get away with it
I would love it if someone could ask her this! I would but crazy Alicia tried to dox me on IG already.
Same! That's exactly why I think that.
A total dick.
This keeps popping up in my feed for some reason- So who the fuck is this chick and why are you guys so obsessed with bitching about her?
Just block it if it’s bothering you. Have a great day!
"your" feed is subscriptions, easy fix bub
Yeah, same here. No clue
