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’s back to using her child’s POV for content as she shops. This time, it’s apparently L’s reaction to Halloween decor.. but she makes sure to include this compliment of Sarah’s hair!
Was just coming to post this! Back to exploiting L by putting a camera on her to get some views. What a sick woman. This family is better off when she goes away because they don’t have to act in her show. I just could not even imagine strapping a camera onto a child while they walk around a store, like ???? I’m truly perplexed by the thought process of doing this to a kid.
L is a very kind little girl for thinking this straw hair looks beautiful lol
I wonder if the older kids breathe a sigh of relief knowing they’ve got a few days to just be themselves & not worry about having a camera stuck in their faces. Poor L, I really hate that Sarah is doing this again! I can’t imagine doing this to a child like she’s a prop or something.
Makes me so sad for poor L. She’s such a sweetie and her mom is just blasting her everywhere. Let her be an innocent child not helping mommy get views
She is a very sweet little girl. Listening to her talk I would never think she’s over 3.5 years old.
I really hope she gets to go to school or some sort of play group soon! Get her out of this content creation environment
There’s her real(ish) face.
who's skinny pointy chin is this then?
Trying for a homesense collab/freebies. NOTHING this idiot does is ever organic or for the sake of enjoying family.
