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 says the contest winner and her girlfriends arrived at tne Pepto Palace yesterday and the rental link is “hours away or days away” from going live. She always says she’s flying off again Sunday for something special. 🙄

Its been so nice to see no videos of her recently. Her voice is grating. My mental health is so much better without too much of her. What's that really say about our body confidence guru?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I am so happy to hear you feel better without her!

How can they be hours or days away? Which is it? She’s brain dead. Has to catch a flight again. That’s the real reason she finally unpacked her suitcase.

I’d really love to know why the rental listing is taking so long to go live. There’s an untold story there

I still stand by my theory that they are setting it up as a flop so they have a loss on their books somehow for tax purposes. I just don't understand real estate investment and corporate taxes enough to know exactly what 😅 😂

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I thought the same thing. They need some losses to offset the tax burden

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hope this rental becomes a real problem for her 😂

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same. A pink cottage isn’t much of a draw. There are no toys to play with. That’s what people want when they rent a cottage. The inside isn’t comfy in the least. I don’t even remember seeing a bbq outside. Who wants a house dumped on a man-made algae lake in Grey County?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Come on now, there's a ball pit outside to play in!!! /s

When did the pool go in ??? Is there a picture of it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

They are calling it a PRIVATE ESTATE? OMG! That’s the first I’ve heard of a pool but it makes sense since you can’t swim in the lake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Right! Lmao this is not what I think of when it I hear estate 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would be very disappointed if I thought I was booking an estate and pulled up to that! I tried to plug some dates into the listing and it’s still not live

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are they calling this thing a pool?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

How tf are they calling this a pool and the property an estate?!?! This nonsense gets worse and worse!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Idk why but it annoys me her ($$$) luggage is this filthy. Can’t she take a rag and wipe it off or purchase a cover?
