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!

It been two weeks and they’re, only now, getting the downstairs kitchen up and running? Does she think she’s coming off as relatable to followers by filming herself doing the work we do many times in a day?
I can't imagine setting up a camera to video tape myself cleaning a stinky pot....
The camera probably gets set up just right and she videos the entire cleaning and organizing process. Who knows how long it takes? Then she watches it back and takes sections to post as individual stories with captions. I imagine she moves the camera and does some retakes so she gets different angles. She treats her life like a reality show where she’s the producer, director, editor and star of the show.
Sick lol
I don’t understand. Why is there a stinky pot? Do they just leave rotting food down there? She’s really struggling like a regular peasant without a dishwasher. Poor thing.
Wtf was in the pot? Why? Why share it???
Right? How long does a pot having to be rotting there for it to make you gag ffs? What is even the point of this? “Look at me, I have do everything around here”
How about her whining for months about the renovations and the inconvenience all to have a goddamn normal size kitchen in their basement? Their second kitchen is bigger than my kitchen fps lol. Her privilege is astounding. And they’re only cleaning it now? Have they been living on takeout and crustables all this time??
Yes! Calling that a kitchenette is deceptive! It’s a fully functioning kitchen. I was picturing having to rely on a microwave and plug in an airfryer! I never imagined having a full size fridge and stove. She always has to exaggerate and feign hardship. She has more square footage in living space in that house without the main floor than most people! It’s privilege, it’s arrogance and not knowing how other people have to scrape by to make do. She’s so far from the everywoman it’s laughable
That’s exactly what I thought! I didn’t know it had many cupboards, a stove, a fridge, a sink. My kitchen is like a cubby compared to her second kitchen. She makes me sick. She wants to be disadvantaged so badly but she isn’t even close.
The part about how she wants to be disadvantaged is what really strikes me. We’ve seen this second kitchen set up now and know it’s a lot better than many people’s primary kitchen. It’s this kind of stuff that should open people’s eyes and question all those other stories she tells about how hard her life has been. Did you know she’s divorced? 🤣
I must have missed the full size second kitchen. Jeeeezus, they’re so hard done by, hey? Lemme grab my tiny violin 🙄
She was grifted this bloody fridge and is about to probably be given all new appliances again. So irritating.
She annoys me so much. It’s gonna grind my gears when she gets brand new appliances, I have an OLD ass stove but nobody is gifting me a free one.
What a bizarre thing to post on Instagram. There is NO fucking way I would post something like that, ever! It's funny how desperate she comes off when she thinks she's being relatable
I went on Instanavigation last night and scrolled through the day’s stories and I found them all a little off and try-hard. Lots with the Little like reading a book together that just smacks of performative. Please turn off the phone and really interact and spend quality time - stop trying to prove you do it! You know what I mean?
Absolutely. She's such a try hard. Like, she wouldn't have shit to prove to anyone if SHE didn't make the choice to publicize her entire life. Literally every issue in that woman's world is entirely self created and it's the main reason I have not one ounce of sympathy for her
She strikes me as someone who has never had to face consequences from her actions and it’s about time she learned about personal accountability. She’s almost 40 and lives a life lying about presenting only her real image online in order to ‘normalize’ bodies like her own. I’m with you and have zero sympathy for her and it makes me angry she fooled me when Infirst followed her and bought into her lies. I even felt sorry for her from time to time. Those days are long gone.
I agree and unfortunately, this whole recent thing seems to only have her ego even more inflated. She's even more smug than before, and feeling like she won. Can't wait to see her get checked. She will get hers
She’s posting bs stories and her follow count continues to climb 🤬 Just the outcome she was hoping for after Miami.
Must be all those men following the new, super hot and sexy SI model they saw on YouTube...😆
I actually doubt she got any new followers from SI lol. Not to be mean but she looked and acted so out of place (that has nothing to do with her body as there were models who are bigger than she is).
Yep, they watched her from the privacy of their darkened basement and then checked out her page and loved all the FUPA slapping. Just typing that made me nauseous
I don’t understand either! She’s afraid of mold in the ceilings and uses that to try and justify an expensive renovation of the main floor to her followers but has pots full of God knows what just sitting around? A couple of weeks ago she showed us the filth that was under those appliances after they were moved so the fridge and stove have been downstairs for a while. Maybe it’s just me but I would have scrubbed down the entire downstairs before setting up for daily use. Hard to believe she was a ‘lifestyle’ , SAHM blogger before hitting big as an Influencer when the basics seem to be too much for her
Now setting up a space that can be used by her teens in the future as one is leaving for school in the Fall... 🫡
She just makes shit up on the fly but she makes it sound like they’re going to be hosting dinner parties! I was thinking I would have loved that set up when I was 16! Perfect place for all kinds of fun! 😜
Since you brought it up, I assume M will be staying in Guelph. She’ll be 18 and get to decide where she wants to live. I wonder whose house she’ll choose to stay at more.
She seems so sweet she’ll probably keep it even
Soo they do drink or don’t?
Cuz that’s Bacardi in the background right?
My youth! 😅
Yes it sure is
I’m sober but we used to get moving boxes from LCBO for free so that might be the case? If someone saw my holiday stuff storage they would think we were drinkers.
