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!

Another Saturday, another trip to the mall with the family. God she is SO boring, she needs a hobby.
We just spent like two hours wandering around an antique market in Woodstock, no buying, just enjoying looking at neat things. She needs an imagination on things to do other than going to boring stone road mall every weekend. Lemon has the dullest life and it’s thanks to her mom.
Even M got on to say “we bought some cool stuff and now we’re going to xyz to buy more cool stuff” She comes home every weekend even though she has a hard to get spot in a dorm? She obviously has a room at home super close to campus. Why a dorm room then? Also, her tone went right over Sarah’s head. Too bad she’s not encouraged to spread her wings and create her own life a bit more. Sad.
It’s her life and she can do what she wants but I can’t help but be so annoyed over her coming home every weekend. Especially because of Sarah’s hysterics over her leaving for university. She legits sees her all the time!! What was the point of her even moving to a dorm room?!!!
I really had so much hope for her getting out from under Sarah’s wing :(
Honestly, at that age, I would have come home every weekend too if my mom bought me whatever I wanted all the time.
Good point haha
M could’ve literally walked 5 mins from her dorm to the mall…with friends…..but she’s there with her mommy….? just further proves what a mental hold S has over her.
It seems like she doesn’t have a job anymore now that she’s in University.
It’s sad but I’m also not surprised. It’s a spoiled entitled family after all. Not just S.
Her room at home is about 6 minutes from school, so you are correct.
I went to the gym with my husband in the morning and then hit up a farmer's market. Afterward, I spent the afternoon at RiotFest with my kids. We took the train, and they got to explore a little more of our extended neighborhood. (RiotFest is a 15 min train ride away). We spent the morning listening to new bands, people watching the eclectic crowd and having new food. Even though we are in a heatwave, and it's not their vibe, we had a great time, and came home feeling closer. I may be poor compared to SNL, but I choose my life 1000x over.
Sounds like an amazing day! I was actually at a show last night for a band that’s at riot fest. We traveled from Guelph to Detroit for the show, so today was a coming home day with a stop at the antiques market.
And same here. I may not have her means but I enjoy my life and the fun I choose to have. My life doesn’t feel or look empty like hers does no matter what money she has or trips she gets to go on.
That's awesome! What band did you see?
Something Corporate! Been waiting 20 years of my life to see them 😩
But like, not even any other mall in the surrounding area. The same ole, lame ass, Guelph Stone Road Mall….what a truly sad life for her kid. Could be doing ANY other fall thing. Apple picking, pumpkin picking, fall fairs…nope, here’s Homesense again L…
The massive one that was in a factory? I love that one so much. It's insane. Was it super hot inside? I try to avoid it in summer because of how hot it gets in there, but I'm itching to go back again.
Yes that one!! It was unbelievably hot, I was starting to feel kinda lightheaded once I got to the 3rd floor. I’d never been before so I wasn’t prepared for that haha. I def won’t ever go back unless it’s cooler weather.
Definitely go back in the late fall or winter because the experience is so much more enjoyable. They have heat in there but it is so large that it still remains drafty and cool. My daughter almost passed out from the heat as well so we're waiting a bit.
I’ll def go back when it’s cooler! I feel like I couldn’t enjoy half of the 2nd floor and then none of the 3rd floor bc I just felt so woozy. The same with the one in Freelton, I went there once during a very hot summer day and it wasn’t good. Aside from the St Jacobs one I think antique markets need to be seen during cooler weather haha.
