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!

Side by sides always trip me out. She looks like she lost 15 lbs in a week.
It’s always such a snark difference in the pics and videos taken by someone else and the ones she takes and posts. Her need to constantly take shots of herself in her underwear tells me she knows how to drive the page views. She doesn’t care that her pics are being saved and used by countless men but she cares enough about bad PR to get a Reddit sub shut down for offering constructive criticism
She doesn’t care that she purposefully attracts weirdos for likes and then posts pics of her children.
All for the attention. It’s sick.
Arm is longer than legs
ARM IS LONGER THAN LEGS
OMG i can't un-see it now and I'm dying 😂
That arm!!!!!! 🤪🤪😂
Was this taken AFTER the SI swimsuit event?
I’m aN uNdErwEaR mOdEl 🥴
I don’t know why but that bikini bottom reminds of a diaper cover/baby bloomer that’s obviously too small.
I think in this instance she might be standing with her butt sticking out and arching her back a bit to change the shape of her body and look slimmer. I haven’t zoomed in to look for any glitches though so I might be wrong.
You may be right. I tried it and it changed the way my body looked too. I just don't understand why?! We see the pictures, she reposted them herself. Why misrepresent. Her face looks different too. The usual doe eyes she doesn't have.
Because she needs the high that she gets from the praise and compliments people give her. It's her drug of choice.
I will say editing/filtering is one thing. But posing, which does change the image you present, doesn't bother me. Every single photographer is going to tell you how to pose to make you look your best, and if they don't you need a new photographer.
I actually think her body looks similar but her face is clearly photoshopped. I don’t get it as her face is pretty as is (I think she looks prettier in the Getty image than the one she posted).
To me it looks like she got bigger....🤢
Comments like this undermine the purpose of this group imo. We aren’t here to snark on her for her body, just how she misrepresents and filters it while claiming to be “body positive”.
It's an observation. The body was posted and I made an observation. The throw up face is because I think she is vial and she makes me sick
