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!

She should be embarrassed she's such a fraud. What a disservice to her followers and FitGlow’s followers. FitGlow should be embarrassed, too.
Good lord…..nothing raises an eyebrow like that other than Botox 😆it’s giving freaky vibes
I dont even know who this is, or why comments about her are flooding my Lemmy feed.
Do people really care that much about fake celebrities?
Should check the pinned posts to get more information. I can’t stand this woman because she says consent is stupid because she wants to breast feed her husband, and he doesn’t want to. That he should just do it because she wants it.
This woman filters herself to oblivion, uses her filtered body for body positivity and uses her kids for content even though they don’t want to be featured online. She is a body positivity influencer but calls old people’s bodies “melted ice cream cones”.
She slaps her belly constantly in her bathroom mirror and posts it online, but only after filtering and editing it to change the way her body actually looks.
She’s a fake and a fraud.
If you’re not interested in learning about what this community is about, block the instance so you don’t see it on your homepage. I promise you we don’t mind.
Wow. The whole instance?? I'll block the community though
I’m new, be nice 🙄.
You are new, be nicer. This is not reddit.
I'm not new, you aren't really being nice for someone who's been here for a year.
Also, why not just block this community and move on, as you said you would?
Oh I didn’t know you owned Lemmy? Lol. Like I said, just unfollow the community.
Also, I had a quick look at your comment history and maybe you should take your own advice instead of acting smug. It’s not a good look.
Sorry for that
♥️
That arch on the left is EXTREME. Woah
She’s something else. The video she posted of the podcast with those girls you can clearly see Sarah’s lighting on her aka filter is showing and the other girls are just natural looking
Saying that someone else’s eye was shopped in? It does look that way. I dunno if I’d have noticed on my own. But then again, I wouldn’t have seen this on my own.
the image shows a filter. This person is a body positive influencer who makes millions from being an unfiltered spokesperson. The filter, seen on the left pulls the eye brow up, removes half of the crease on the eyelid and removes all lines and pores.
Not shopped. Just heavily filtered. Which no one would care about particularly if she was honest about it. She lies about it while using filters that resize the body she claims to love as is.
Take peace in knowing that narcissists don't actually love themselves at all. They are full of self-loathing.
Preach! We for sure know that about her.
Christ, does lemmy really need this hate community format transferred over from reddit? You guys realize this kind of obsession with anyone is fucking weird, right?
Not that it will help, but a lot of us (like me) are here to call her out on her refusal to call out things like genocide, and her refusal to say anything to support the LGBTQIA2S community or body autonomy (I see from Sam, her other comments that you’ve posted on that you are not OK with people being complicit in genocide, and this influencer has been completely silent , even endorsing products on the BDS list).
This isn’t a celebrity. This is someone who built a platform by selling crummy products to people, to the point where she’s made a name for herself, and has the means to use her platform to help a lot of people, and she is just continuing to be greedy and unethical. I attend protests, donate to community organizations and volunteer my time, and I definitely am active politically. So when I see people who are white cis privileged women being amplified over marginalized people who are making a difference in the world o call it out.
If you’re not interested in learning about what this community is about, block the instance so you don’t see it on your homepage. I promise you we don’t mind.
No, hate subs aimed at obsessing over the smallest details of some b-lister influencer is toxic. I don't care who the person is, if you're zooming in on someone's eyelids to make some commentary then you've lost the plot.
Why are you still wasting your time here?
Why not just block this community and move on?
