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!

Iconic? She wishes. She’s a boring influencer from Guelph with hardly anything going for her except for getting naked and wiggling her bits around. Oh yes so iconic. She’s worse than ever since the SI runway.
I haven’t been watching her videos as much the last week and I feel I didn’t even miss anything, that doesn’t scream iconic to me.
The constant “surprises” have gotten old. Just say what’s up or don’t post about it. It’s like vaguebooking
Don’t know who this is, got bored within ten seconds.
Look at the sidebar
So iconic her child calls her Sarah. That’s something.
If that doesn’t scream lack of parenting, I don’t know what does.
So iconic she voluntarily leaves the week her daughter graduates highschool to watch a Prime documentary and post about it for clout because she’ll get a pic with Celine. She’ll never get the opportunity again to be with her daughter the week she graduates. But don't worry-she’ll get to go Daisy Duck at Disney right afterwards so when she's feeling like the shit parent she is she can have teens dressed up in costumes make her feel better.
How much toilet poetry has she written over the last couple of years about how quickly her kids are growing up, about the passage of time, about spending time with them while they still want to spend time with you? She’s pulled out all the cliches and shed many crocodile tears but when it comes right down to it she always chooses Sarah first.
People who are iconic don't refer to themselves as such
Voice is absolutely grating.
I really can’t stand this woman. Great video!
Well, that cottage purchase was a total waste of money. I love that for Birdie.
That's crazy
Love this video!!
I feel like I’m half-vicariously learning about this person from reading occasional threads like this one. It’s oddly interesting and dull at the same time.
You nailed it. It's interesting, the scam, how she gets aways with it BUT she is painfully dull.
This is so good! Thanks Rare Potato
