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 good she’s back to being an advocate for breast cancer awareness after forgetting for months when she said she’d remind her followers every month to check their breasts 🙄🙄

And she has an appointment with an Endocrinologist today, can’t wait to see what new illness she starts pushing and to use as an excuse!!!

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Prob for a diagnosis so she can have an excuse to use Ozempic lol. Go Birdshit go! Enjoy! Anything to be thin girl lol

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My first thought! My endo was the first to prescribe me Ozempic over 2 years ago. I hadn't even heard of it. I went in for potential PCOS and left with a diagnosis of weight loss. Everything she does is a ruse and calculated. She didnt drop that Ozempic episode for nothing.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right. She's dense. I'm thin, never had a weight problem but I don't understand the need and want to be super skinny. I have always wished I had more curves, especially a booty lol Skinny doesn't look good.

[–] bellaportuguesexo@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As a curvy girl the thought has crossed my mind SOOOO many times to try ozempic. I have PCOS and it makes losing weight a bit harder. But those side affects and down the road problems scare me… it shouldn’t be used as a quick fix. Sarah just can’t handle not being skinny and really needs to dig down and heal that part of her instead of pretending.

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

S is always looking for a quick fix, without ever addressing the real issues she has. First, she had unhealthy eating habits and blamed having kids. Then she had an ED to get skinny. When she couldn't continue that way after getting pregnant, she "accepted" her body, but obsessively uses filters. Now she's seemingly going to use some excuse to be on O. She will then face health issues down the road for being on it, when she really doesn't have to be, health wise. Clearly there's a mental illness attached to all of these personas she phases through and THAT's what needs to be taken care of. It's like when people get gastric sleeves for being overweight, but never addressing the issues of the addiction of eating and why they do it. Then, the surgery fails because they continue to overeat. If you want anything to work like this, you have to search deeper, than just that quick vanity fix

After seeing what Ozempic did to Sharon Osbourne...lol...id never

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Well said xoxo

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Such a good point!

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also, why would she even want to use Ozempic. Clearly losing weight isn't hard for her. She's doing it so easily, right? Fuck I can't even with her fake extension, Botox face personality. Ewwwww

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Super easy. She doesn’t even have to try. Always traveling and eating at restaurants, getting takeout. Now she’s adding high calorie creamer to her Coke. No problem for her. All the stress in her life helps her lose weight. Remind me again, What’s so stressful about her life?

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Being a fraud and having to keep up a fake persona every day has gotta be stressful, but that’s of her own choosing. She has nothing else stressful in her life. All she does is go shopping every day to chase her newest high and get free things handed to her. Doesn’t go to a job, rarely watches her kids, doesn’t cook, doesn’t clean. Wow stressful.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

You’re so right! She’s also probably worried about what personality to adopt next!

[–] bellaportuguesexo@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder how bestie Alicia is going to feel im sure she will be so supportive of it

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe they can discuss when Leaky’s on her Canada “tour” 🤣 Birdie can be her special guest

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

What a sad sack convention that's gonna be. You can't be very healthy, especially mentally, if you look up to Alicia "abuse my body and mind and call it confidence" enough to pay to hear her lead you even further astray.
