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!
Amen!!! Everyone has to do the heavy lifting all week but here’s fun mom sarah swooping in last minute! What a hero.
Spot on!
Also - what are chance this big fun day is #gifted 🙄
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.
She's the most selfish person. She doesn't have a heart.
Absolutely!!
You just know she made L pose with her foot and leg over her for this shot. She’s so obvious
