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!

Most of the old school mommy bloggers that went Instagram heavy are now going back to blog style newsletters and substacks. Their kids are growing up becoming autonomous and they have found their voices again for this next phase of life. Birdie has absolutely no place in those conversations. The over made up barbie influencer types podcast market is saturated, everyone is tired of the heavy linkers, she is not crafty, or motherly, has no fashion or interior design sense. She only travels to one place. She is not healthy or well or fit. She does not cook, she does clean/organize. Her real estate investment 🙄 is going to tank. She thankfully seems to be relying less on Lemon for content. At the end of the day she is left in her bathroom, in her underwear with her world famous fupa. She literally has nothing left to offer. Where could she possibly be going with this “brand”?

She thinks she’s going to become a famous model. I really think she believes it could happen or an actor. She does nothing to become skilled at either of those things but she doesn’t think she needs skills. She just has to “show up.”

I don't doubt for a moment she already thinks she's a famous model. 😂

She clearly does!

Bloody oath she does!

I like to think she’s already at the tail end of it all, this really can’t go that much further honestly. While her content was never great, it really has been SO dry majority of this year so far. The only time she seems to get a good amount of engagement is when she’s naked and showing off her belly, people are going to get sick of that eventually especially when it isn’t something super uncommon.

Like you said OP, she has NOTHING else to fall back on. She has no real hobbies, she only latches onto what’s popular at the time, she isn’t creative, she doesn’t have very good parental skills even though she acts like she’s this great hands on mother which LOL, no real life skills, etc. When she hopefully gets exposed for all her fraud, she’ll really have nothing else.

She really is pathetic, isn't she.
