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!

Did someone get out the fake tan to go to Brazil? Lol. Also her facial expression is so stupid, close your mouth.
She’s gonna be so out to lunch on this trip and not aware of her surroundings at all. I’m sure she’ll find a way to make it all about her too and how scared she was or something.
So today is the first day of school and she leaves for Brazil tomorrow. I don’t know how things work in other households but that first week back to the regular routine in my house was always chaotic. All the forms coming home in backpacks at breakneck speed, teachers sending the lists of things the kids need for a successful year, helping them get over the nerves of being in a new class. The lists goes on. I can’t imagine being away when I could choose to be home and available. All kids really need to thrive is time and attention - not stuff - but she chooses to think otherwise.
Sarah & Shane aren't paid for #gifted #partner vacations. The choose vacations over parenting. I can't imagine leaving my kids during a school week, especially the first week.
Tomorrow is actually first day of school in Guelph, there’s a PA day today. So she’s actually leaving the DAY her kids go back to school. She sucks, everything is about her, she doesn’t care about anyone else. And it’s B’s first day of high school which can be nerve wracking and he won’t even have his mom, I hope they’re with their dad for back to school.
RUN to r/ariannachristiesnark someone found Shame's reddit.
I want to say I’m blown away by those horrible comments, but I’m honestly not surprised in the least that he would speak that way. They both give me such disgusting vibes.
I can't look at any more. He commented on a video that showed a woman getting sexually assaulted. he said it's alright. I'm sick of these two not being held accountable for anything.
He’s a bigger douche bag than I originally thought!
My jaw's on the floor. The racist stuff. Animal torture pXrn. 😵💫
THAT needs to go viral.
Just saw! This is amazing sleuthing. Ready for them to be cancelled together!
The hero over on Reddit coming to Birdie’s/Shane’s defense is very “Jen”
Just here to say I finally made a lemmy account to join in on this group, I wasn’t going to but since Shane showed up to Reddit all puffy chested threatening to have that sub shut down too , I had no other choice 😇 she can play her game of whack-a-mole all she wants, I am more than happy to take my findings about her to other places to keep the conversation going. The harder they go on silencing fair criticism the harder I’ll go on sharing it. Fuck around and find out.
That’s my guess too especially with all the condescending terms of endearment
I was wondering if either one of these Tools even liked the Beatles after they posted this… Now I know.
Did Shame strike it rich with bitcoin and that’s why he left his job?
I’m surprised she stuck around long enough to drive M down the street to Uni….I guess she needed the performative bs to use for content though. It’s just business as usual for the other 3 kids. Not interesting enough for Birdie.
Her kids are thriving, at their real parents house...their dad. Who has always been there for them. But then there's poor L....shipped off to NK again. That's who her real guardian is. When you think about it, between trips and daily NK daycare..by the time L even gets back home in the evenings and bedtime, Sarah is a "mother" to her for mere hours a week, IF that.
As I recall, Sarah doesn't even do bedtime with L, that's Shane's job.
All the fabric pulls in the pants are a nice touch 🤣 Such a professional.
Not to mention the spill/stain 😂 Class all the way with this one!
Someone needs to explain to me why the hell anyone would run to buy this basic af $70 unflattering top or anything else in this collection for that matter.
Typical. Must get down to a bra and underwear to sell these shitty overalls.
Her tummy is so blurred. What a fraud.
And the Rs are so disgustingly crispy. She’s ridiculous. Fakest of the fake.
Appears to be a daily occurrence now. Pushing those numbers to 2.5 M Someone knows how to play the system She’s had direction from her IT manager.
I have mostly decided to become unbothered by this lady but I am stressed and bored and acting out😂
I cannot believe someone pays her for this nonsense. So much to unpack here, the giant sunglasses indoors, the hideous pockets! And guys you can wear the pieces together or separate!!! Thank goodness she mentioned that or I would have not thought such things possible! WHY WOULD SHE EVEN SAY THAT! Does she think her followers do not know that 🙄
She obviously thinks her followers are fashion idiots , when they are all probably way more innovative than her. This S&T stuff is not new or inspirational at all, very mundane in fact. Nothing new to see here people!
M has been at school for less than a week and she’s hanging out with the fam tonight!?! Birdie posted a pic of “the girlies”
Wasn’t she leaving for her flight now they’re hanging out?
It looks like they all gathered at Nana’s to say goodbye - that isn’t really going away to school - is it?
She can see M literally whenever yet she cried like a big baby like she was going to another country ffs. How do people take this woman seriously
What the hell was that dumbass post in the Ariana snark from one of the mods for Leaky’s sub??
Mods, Jen is here (Itsjenjenbiben) Hey Jen, can we not please? Move along !
I had no idea how cheap it was to buy followers, and even positive comments!
I always wondered how influencers afforded buying followers. When you’re paying for nothing and being gifted everything, it frees up money for this. 🤢😑😑😑
