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!

Probably one of the best things she’s ever posted.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This could be old news for some. But she did talk about lip filler back in 2017. Why is it a secret now?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It’s a secret now because she said she stopped getting it done!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Hahaha. So her lips just naturally got fuller and fuller over time. I see. How magical for her 😂

I am in the midst of a really bad fibromyalgia flare and have had insomnia for the last week or so. I did a deep dive/scroll on her IG bc I had time at 3am, and hoped it would bore me to sleep lol. But her IG tells a really sad story. Much farther back, when her 100 lb weight loss was her whole identity, every 6-10 posts was a side by side of old “fat” self next to current waif self. I mean she posted these constantly!
Not sure which of you recently pointed this out, but her pregnancy with L is what triggered this latest spiral of hers. She was feeling good about herself bc she was thin. She struggled with her feelings about pregnancy and pregnant body (and to be clear, I’m not saying she struggled with her feelings about L. But she did have some honest moments about “bonding” struggles) (and if you just looked without reading you’d never guess she struggled…. A lot of skin in the feed!) and I’m sure she legit had some depression issues. The thing is she has never dealt with her disordered eating and body dysmorphia. So here we are. The 100lb weight loss is way in the past so that can’t be her identity. She’s loving her current weight loss a lot, obviously. But clearly she’s still unwell bc her use of filters is insane.
She’s really not a well person. In addition to fueling other people’s hypochondria, she’s doing damage to some like me who sought her content for legit inspiration. It fucks with my head and my self image. It has to be doing the same to women who don’t know what’s going on. She needs so much real therapy. Seriously. The hypochondria alone is wild and unchecked. How many illnesses has she had oh so briefly? Must be nice. Anyone with chronic pain issues must question why they can’t just stop feeling their illness and go traveling and shopping instead. And I don’t say that to be glib. The story her grid tells is sad, even scary. It’s all so gross. Janette nailed it too. Interestingly I was mentally composing this post or a blog post of my own at the same time Janette posted that story.
Anyway, just my thoughts.

That was me and you're right. But also, this is family history. Her sister ended up with an ED because she had her jaw wired shut in high school because she had jaw surgery and lost a lot of weight. Had every one of her kids pre term because of this. When S lost the 100lbs, it was from starving herself thin and when people called her out, she said she "couldn't possibly have an ED" because her sister did and it "hit close to home" for her. She sold her sister out and her story to save face. Then, years later she copped to it, because it was her new narrative. NK was also severely overweight and had a bypass or sleeve. She had complications with it because she continued to over eat...again, not addressing the root cause of it. The whole family has an unhealthy relationship with food and body dysphoria. SO when people ask "how does her family support this"..........this is why. They don't even see if because they also suffer from it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

Yes I’ve noticed that family pattern as well. I feel sad for NK bc as someone with Fibro and I can’t fathom how she does so much all the time. Maybe she’s a hypochondriac too or maybe she’s managing hers better. Who knows…but It’s not all sunshine and thrifted fucking roses in that gene pool, that’s for sure!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago

I’m betting she’s desperately hoping to lose enough weight to look like her filters so no one can “gotcha” her… but she doesn’t realize weight loss doesn’t equal filters changing your skull structure.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I’m so sorry you’re in the middle of a flair. You’ve perfectly summed up Birdie. She is, in no way, happy with the way she looks and, like you, I believe she has some serious issues that really need addressing. She has such a need for attention she’ll go to any length to get it. Did you notice her ‘illnesses’ seem to crop up when her engagement gets low? She’s like every liar I’ve ever known. When they are caught, backed into the corner, they will pull something from out of their bag of tricks to deflect. I feel so badly for those followers who are still believers because they must go through so much turmoil trying to make sense of what they see.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah i have def noticed that. I think she’s a true narcissist. Grandiose sense of self, and all the other text book traits. When narcs are confronted or found out, they lash out. In her case I think she manipulates and deflects with conjured illnesses. Bleh

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I'd say not narcissist actually. While clearly NOT diagnosing, I find this really interesting: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9743-histrionic-personality-disorder

Ooooh interesting!!!! Thx for that. I am fascinated by this stuff. This def smacks of possible accuracy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

it's really interesting to read! It is little lesser know and doesn't have the same buzz as narcissism does right now but ya.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, her mother has a real illness but she’s the one raising the youngest.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I only learned about her mom’s Fibro very recently. That really galls me!!!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

A stretch mark post because her last post only had about 300 comments. Those pants are open so low, how calculated and strange.

As always - how contradictory - bellies have marks but your face should age backwards Sarah’s botoxed face is more expressionless and firm looking than a teenagers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

She is soooooooo BORING. It’s always the same thing all the time. She needs a new schtick already.

Her stretch marks may be real but her face is so fake. She’s a fraud and I’m sick of her message when she’s such a liar.

Also, love the nipple covers 🙄 doesn’t change the fact your kids peers will see this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

She has to appeal to that demographic that followers her just for the half-clothed pics

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Oh poor birdie couldn’t get out of bed after a concert to drive the kids to school. My fiancé and I go to a lot of concerts, get home late and my fiance is still up at 5am to go to work. She’s so fucking lazy. Her only responsibility and she can’t even get up to do it 🙄 also why not just use the Nespresso machine she had to have??

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

With all her lazy behaviours her manipulation of her family has to be her greatest trick. Why Shane or her mother would fall at her feet to serve her is beyond me. She has the “people” believing she is sacrificing it all to make the world a better place by showing her stretch marks. As if. She’s a carefully and strategically planned promotion to make money - it’s not authentic in any way. Influencers should be required to share daily health warnings like cigarette cartons. Woman’s mental health is a heath crisis - someone needs to step in!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

My sister is like her. It's not that we DONT know she doesn't have it hard but it's easier for her husband and my parents to give in and pretend. Otherwise, it's a full blown production. I think her family knows it's an act but they go along with her because it's better than the alternative. I bet there's a lot of fighting and tantrums in that house. NK created that monster (likely by just giving in so they don't have to deal with her) and now Shame has to continue it because he might have not known what he got into until it was too late. Totally his karma though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

I really think the new partner has to pay close attention to how someone speaks about their previous relationships.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

All of this. It's disgraceful that she not only manipulates the other adults, but the children too. I feel certain this is a lifelong behaviour, and she really believes she is a special, hardworking little soldier.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 spot on

Toronto has an 11pm curfew. Leave the venue and on the road by 11:30pm. Home by 12:30pm with 401 traffic at night. That's easily still 7 hours sleep. Shut up. Can't get out of bed, but expects the kid who went with her, to go to school.....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago

Another example of how tone deaf and pathetic she is..

[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Did everyone read Janettes story post about Birdshit?!? It's so good!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

👏👏👏👏

It's super cool that the episode of TBP in which the woman talks about wanting to breastfeed her husband but that he’s not into “adult nursing relationships” has been deleted. All the others are still up. She says, “Consent is annoying; I just want him to do what I want him to do.”

We called her out, and now it’s missing. However, this promo is still on Bailey’s podcast page.

What a weak, fake, cowardly shell of a human TBP is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

Didn't she learn from her husband.........the internet is forever lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago

What a loser. Deleting things so she doesn't get confronted. Also, the arm up lol

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

That’s her alright. Delete and pretend it never happened. Like the plagiarism.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (5 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

lmao I’m so embarrassed for these women

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

She tries wayyyyy to hard to be edgy/trendy

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this the vibe for Billie Eilish/one of her concerts? She looks ridiculous

They really don’t get Billie Eilish - one of the most natural and authentic people out there
