Despite being "flagged", the admin team doesn't see a problem with this community as long as the instance and community rules are followed, and the mod team is keeping thing civil.

Have a nice day :)

Honestly this is insane. I have no idea how she has the reach she does to get all of this shut down.

[-] Redditsucksalot@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

This seems a little far fetched who is behind all of this? Her minions? Shine? Lawyers? I dont get it. These are really really shady actions like super shady. There is more to this story and hee brand than meets the eye. What is it about her that makes her so protected. Is it the kind of risqué content that she makes? It makes no sense. These are people and companies with deep pockets.

[-] nofilterdiva96@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

Totally agree. I really hope Karma gets served soon.

Question: does anyone wonder if burd friends who are no longer working and are not as big as her might have been hired to scope the internet?

Question: has anyone wondered if fixing the house might have to do with needing to sell fast because after June 25 the capital gains stuff in Canada is getting wild (esp with having 2 homes now). Maybe with one offspring going to uni,one going to hs and her “career” she will find it easier to transition to leave Canada?

[-] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Leave Canada? And her free childcare? No way.

[-] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Uni is mostly likely free because of Bio dad’s employer.

I hope that poor kid gets the hell out of Guelph.

[-] fabbrunette@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

She would have to sell her house in the next 2 weeks if she wanted to get ahead of the capital gains tax… if she does sell everything she can claim the one-time exemption to save that tax as well.

I think about this a lot. I think it’s what bothers me the most. There is something much bigger at play here and it’s not good.

[-] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Absolutely bonkers.

[-] DorothyGale_1939@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

This is absolutely bonkers and I am so grateful for the community brought together to demand truthfulness, authenticity, and accountability. Kudos to those refusing to be silenced. 🫶🏽

[-] Aforeigneramongfriends@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

What a day. I have no idea if I’m doing this right, but hello everyone.

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

I’m going to have to get acclimated to a new platform! Glad to have a new meeting place!

[-] Rollergirl@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

I'm still trying to figure this out, but I think I'm getting the idea. Lol

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"just asking questions" can be harassment. It's a right wing tactic you see all the time.

Not that I have a problem with this community or anything, I just saw this pop up on my free and Jane to comment that your statement paints with broad false strokes.

[-] urfriendjen@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Thanks for all you guys are doing 🙏 Could someone make a post with the rules? Can’t find them anywhere on here

[-] Thefrogsbanana@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

There should be a little button that say ‘sidebar’. The rules are in the community description. I know this is a bit of a learning curve when we are all used to Reddit.

[-] urfriendjen@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Ahh got it. Thanks!!

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!
