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!

BULLSHIT. If she ran she would 100% make it her personality. There is nothing that she doesn’t share so I don’t believe that she’s doing it to not fall into old behaviours. Everything she does is toxic so why not one more thing 🤷🏻♀️
Running content, which unlocks the running community, a different target market, and a million more sponsored things, is legit the easiest and free content! It follows a story, she could be relatable to so many who have struggled to start something. You can track progress and goals. But NOPE! I've said it before and I'll say it again shes completely lying about it, and will say running lost her all the weight all of a sudden instead of ozempic.
Exactly! Also if she really did get into running I don’t think she would be speaking about it the way she does. I know this is only my tiny little lived experience but I also got into running in 2023 and went from someone who HATED running to now loving it and running 3 miles a day after work. The way she talks is how I did in the beginning when I thought I was a runner but was just a very beginner, but you grow and adapt and your mind set changes. You don’t see yourself as slow anymore, you’re just going your pace. I would never say I hate running now, it has shown me so much that my body can do. I just feel like if she was really running her mindset and attitude toward it would have changed by now.
I feel like with almost anything she does she is just parroting what other people have said about it.
I also don’t understand the toxic thing, how is it okay to show others running but showing herself running is “toxic behavior” why is she even relating toxic to running at all? Like always my main question is “what the hell is she even going on about”
Yupp I totally agree! She’s so full of crap. Just another thing she’s lying about it, how exhausting that must be.
I wouldn’t even say she’s losing weight, it still appears to be all filters. Sorry, she doesn’t get the benefit of my doubt anymore or ever again.
