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!

Haha.
Ive never actually seen the whole video with sound.
That is so ridiculous!
I mean she’s obviously lying. But also yeah we all have insecurities and sometimes we are very irrational about them.
But to put that shit for everyone to see?! To cry about it as an adult woman? And to actually be like “its hardd, its really hard”. How embarrassing.
Like yeah fuckin a’, I would also love to look (for real real) like the “perfect version of myself”. But to literally make that video while jutting your lips and jaw out. Sigh.
If my mom or my friend made a video like that, I would be getting them help.
I just watched it again and all I can think is - what happens if she ever has to take steroids for some reason. The treatment can be life-saving but it really changes your face. The meltdown about how she looks is really over-the-top and the reference to getting these compliments for 10 years, the years since losing 100 lbs, and how important they are to her is so telling. She will do anything to keep that jawline looking snatched! That’s what it says to me. And then she’ll lie and say it’s just natural because she’ll also do anything to keep her platform.
I take steroids and I am just vain enough for it to really bother me. They are magical but brutal.
How old is this video? She’s never this honest anymore.
This was about a year ago. It was soon after last year’s Reitman’s launch and her day guest hosting BT wearing the huge, shapeless denim dress. If I’m remembering correctly there was some connection she was making between her ‘training’ for the Disney 10K and the face swelling .
Good Grief.
Once you start catching onto her you can’t unsee it and there is a definite pattern. Public appearance where photos and videos are released where she has no control over the product. She looks completely different and people start wondering why. Then comes the break down and the excuses and casting herself as a victim to bullies. She wrote the script long ago and follows it faithfully
ALWAYS.
I missed you Doom!
I’m glad we didn’t completely lose touch with each other. Grateful for the new space ❤️
