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!

Oh boohoo, birdie has to spend the day with her kids after going to LA to dress up in a dollar store costume and a watch movie. Poor Sarah, feel sorry for Sarah.
How do people like this woman????? Everything involving her kids is such an inconvenience, it was no inconvenience flying off to LA though!
The “she” who booked it was the mother feeling guilty for leaving all the back to school running around to others. The “she” who booked it wants to be seen as the ‘fun’ parent and not the one who makes them get organized for the upcoming school year. The ‘she’ who booked it wants everyone to say how great she is for doing this after such a hard, big career, work trip!
Yet another face palm moment for this person. I'm not sure how it is in Ontario, but in BC, water parks aren't exactly cheap. To not only complain about having to go after her nonsense, selfish trip, then to imply about how the trip she booked to spend with her kids is an inconvenience, is so fucking tone deaf. I'm sure most families would kill to not only have had a trip away, but to also be able to afford to go to a water park. I'm sure this is also another "content" outing: "look at me! Look at my kids! We're in bathing suits! I'm shilling this suit, you know!" Gross.
It was actually a super ghetto place, that’s run down and they’ll probably end up with a rash anyways, but I get your point. What really bothers me is, they’re taking video, not only of themselves, but other peoples children, in bathing suits, to a public profile that’s known for getting her own kids on x rated sites. I know it’s a public place, but she didn’t even put an emoji over other kids faces or blur them. It’s classless and completely inconsiderate of other people and their right to privacy for their children.
You just know she made L pose with her foot and leg over her for this shot. She’s so obvious
Am I crazy thinking it’s wild to put your kid in residence when there is a housing shortage for students and she has not 1 but 2 houses to live in locally.
I’m kind of happy for her to get away from TBP influence. Once she gets an education and learns about the world a bit more (not that she needs University for that but it’ll help) she’s going to catch on to how unhealthy that dynamic is. I hope she gets to explore the world away from online exploitation surrounding her.
More like 4 because she probably could live with Nana K if she wanted, and they have that apartment in the basement of her own house.
Some thoughts I have:
Thats all 😂
Remember she never cries actual tears, hence no puffiness
She’s just so predictable, making this all about her.
I’m sure this was hard for most parents - many who won’t see their kids for months. But it’s so thoughtless to cry about it on her public platform.. her daughter is in a new place trying to make new friends, I’m sure some follow her mom 🫠
Too busy crying to notice her instagramreality reddit post hit 5,000 upvotes. The post is currently blowing up on the Guelph reddit. Guelphites aren't Birds Papaya fans.
The comments on the Guelph Reddit!
I’m so happy she’s finally made it onto the Guelph reddit page!! The more traction this gets the better.
ETA: one commentator on the post made me think it was Shane for a hot second. I even looked at their comments elsewhere and lots of magic the gathering stuff, etc. but other posts of theirs steered me off of thinking it was Shane.
Also if someone has the shrinking Shane video, you should post it on the guelph Reddit post!
I love how she got her Reddit page shut down and as a result has evolved to now spreading awareness to multiple Reddit subs and Lemmy 😂
😂 I love this for her
This is amazing! I’m going to pop in and look at the Guelph Reddit!
Jfc I can’t stand watching her cry!!!! I can not even imagine setting up my camera to have a cry like this. Her face hardly moves, it’s all too much. She is so desperate for attention. M probably feels like crap over leaving just because of this performance.
I am sometimes a little overwhelmed with the disgust I feel when she acts like this. She has her older kids 50% of the time and very often flippantly chooses to travel “for work”, like she did this week, all for her own glory. Did she miss M then?!
I wonder what happened to Sarah when she left home?!
This is how I feel. Her over the top drama performance over her kid going to school 10 mins away is simply far too much. I feel like she’s making her loyal flock think her daughter has gone off to university far away and it’s legit the hardest thing she’s ever done, when in reality she’s just down the road. Like you said, she has no issue saying yes to every event that takes her away from her kids but god forbid her daughter go off to university without her having the worst acting performance of all time over it. Like get a grip honestly. She needs attention so badly, that’s why she acts like this because she just wants people flooding her inbox with words of sympathy.
I wonder if her face moved and her crying looked less forced we might believe her.
Her daughter is in the same city FFS! She is so attention-seeking!
Did I miss it or has she not disclosed to her followers her daughter is literally a 10 min car ride away??
I know the old sub isn’t here for the receipts but we all knew she’d make this all about Sarah. I think someone even said she’ll make it all about how she never got to go to university. How gross and predictable she is!
I find this entire episode so performative. She isn’t going away to university. She is in the same city and she doesn’t even live with her full-time as it is so nothing is really changing. If this university offered guaranteed residence to all first year students I would have no problem with a local kid moving in but this doesn’t seem to be the case at this university. Does Birdie have any idea how parents of those kids who don’t live in the city must feel with their 17-year-old is really leaving home and they now have to find them a place to live as well as set them up to really fend for themselves off campus? She doesn’t care. The fact M is taking up space and planning to spend weekends with her parents makes it even worse!
They are a greedy selfish family.
So she literally posts from the room pretty much and 9 minutes later it’s ‘we’re back home’ and she’s crying 🙄
In 2 min on google I found her kids exact res building. Sarah or Shame, take down the videos and post, you are putting your kids life at risk.
Look at that filter! Her eyes are not that large 🤣
“A little more grey” basically her shitting on her husband since she’s obviously not talking about herself little miss 5 hour hair appointments. Can’t move her face. Massive inflated lips. Refuses to age. Filters herself to look skinnier. At least he’s real as much as I say he’s a slob. Like she doesn’t even look like herself ffs.
(Nothing wrong with dying hair to get rid of greys, I do it myself!!! Just felt her “little more grey” comment was unnecessary when she’s clearly not referring to herself here).
Look at the photos with her daughter. Sarah she had no lines. Her daughter had normal movement lines on her neck. Sarah filtered herself to be younger than her child. If Sarah didn't buy followers and engagement, she'd be done.
I also wonder what her big anniversary gift was since everyone is gonna freak out apparently! Why does she thinks everyone is going to freak out over what she spent more money on when most are having a hard time getting by and likely don’t even buy anniversary gifts for their significant others to save money. Just a way to make us feel guilty for not being as extravagant as she is.
Noticed she’s wearing Falcon merch when she posted about it.. what are the odds she’s surprising her husband with a gift that’s more about something SHE is obsessed with 🤣
where is the rest of her face?
I wondered that too! A gift that’s really for her, sounds like a Sarah thing to do. Another “much needed” vacation to an Eagles game probably.
Also everything about her looks sf weird here
This whole story about how her followers sending messages about how talented M is after she shared this photo from the school showing is what made M take the leap to apply for school is bs. She had already been accepted into her program at this point in time. I think I’m remembering this correctly. Birdie is making her followers feel a part of M’s journey and strengthening that parasocial relationship she counts on for her income.
this CLEARLY showcases her willingness to lie and fabricate.
She just publically shared private conversations she had with M and what she did on her first night at school. (unless Sarah made it up-also plausible) The audacity to publically share that for content. She sinks to a new low every day.
Agree. She needs to just let that girl live her life in peace at university, her followers don’t need to know M’s social life at university. It isn’t any of our business and I’m sure M would agree.
Just in case we all forgot she’s been married twice 🤣

This spread of Ilona is so amazing, and I'm so glad she's being celebrated. She's worked her ass off and dealt with so much ACTUAL hate over her body but doesn't have anything to prove. Of course, all bodies deserve to be celebrated, but she is real body positivity to me. I also love the points being made. I bet it's killing B that she wasn't championed like this. Except for those for pay Yahoo articles.
I’m shocked Sarah didn’t have a waterpark made up story “I was just relaxing at the park and a woman came up to me in a two piece swimsuit and told me she’s so inspired by me and I’m the reason she felt confident enough to show up at the waterpark in a two piece. This is why I do what I do” lol
