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!

It always amazes me how calculated and predictable she is. Like I 100% knew she’d go quiet once she got back from LA because she’s just SO obvious. She thinks going quiet means she’s like reflecting and caring when really she’s just scared of backlash because of how foolish and selfish she is. Sharing a couple videos of L to soften your followers won’t make it better.
And now she’s gonna be posting from Disney all joyful because she’s in her happy place and it saves her after the trauma of being in LA and having to flee even though she didn’t need to go there at all. While people in LA are suffering and losing their homes, she got to fly back to a newly renovated house with another trip right on the horizon. She sucks and I hope she feels shame (even though she never seems to and nobody calls her on it either).
I think this trip to Disney...again....is really going to be her downfall. No one is cheering her on and excited to watch yet another trip to Disney with all her friends...eating dole whip. Seriously.
I have also been seeing some people/celebs (not that she is one) postponing their shows, events, anything that will produce air travel essentially... imagine she so much as exercised that idea?
Gosh...she can't miss Disney for her 40th!! She's the most selfish person I have ever seen. She's going to look so stupid making posts.
I called her tone deaf on one of her stories from one of her 47648 trips to Disney and boy did she clap back. Her entitlement is ASTOUNDING!!! She really believes that she’s self made and that she went from being a broke single mom to changing the world.
She's always had it easy. She makes me ill.
I’m not surprised she clapped back, she can’t take any sort of criticism for her actions or how tone deaf and selfish she is.
I’m so curious now what she said! Lol. You’d think she’d have enough self awareness to at LEAST not respond. I think you’re right that she thinks she isn’t doing anything wrong (she never does) and is such a victim.
