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!

She had a story with M today and it says it’s her last month home before uni - she must be going away for school! I am so happy for her!
If she lives on campus I’m sure the instagram posts will be photos of Sarah moving boxes in and looking at her empty room, something centred around herself
Wearing head to toe uni branded gear! Because you know those pregnancies began and she could not go to uni.
You’re right! A lot of universities have those Mom hoodies and she’s definitely going to get one unless M has explicitly told her she doesn’t want where she’s going to school on her mother’s IG. I’ve been thinking this is what’s going on since she hasn’t mentioned it.
As she reminds M it’s not about M because she didn’t get to go. Or pressuring her into over the top dorm room decor. The possibilities for embarrassment are endless. I am presuming their father will be involved and put a squash on Birdies SM engagement needs. But you know she will try and sneak L in some merch to out M’s privacy. “While we were attempting to protect M’s privacy we completely spaced that L was wearing that sweater” or some BS. She will mention the city they are driving to, I just have a feeling she will 100% not be protecting her daughters much wanted privacy in some passive way.
She will 1000000% let out where M is going. It’s all about Sarah
I sure hope she doesn't share where M is going, and let her be somewhat anonymous.
Hopefully M can just slip into the night into her new life without the whole circus coming to town. How could they possible leave NanaK and Papa at home for drop off!!! Cue 12 passenger van pulls in front of the dorms with the entire family…surprise….
I really hope things go the way she wants too. First impressions are so crucial at that age.
Hope it’s OCAD to pursue her passion for art.
That would be insane if she’s going to UOfG and staying on campus when there is a housing shortage for students.
I hope that’s not what’s happening
wouldn’t blame her for wanting to get out of that house and away from exploitation. They have the money, though, so hopefully rent an apartment? Is that an option there?
