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!

More like ‘that’s a warp’

I made this account to specifically make this comment because it’s too good to pass up 😆

My biggest question is what’s with the glasses? She doesn’t need glasses…

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

She’s cosplaying someone smart and thinks smart people wear glasses?

[–] BirdsaLiar@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Always a poser

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

The face is super long! It doesn’t look real - almost Jim Carey-like

[–] ArtisticAdiago@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Wow shes edited herself into a size 4 here 😒

[–] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Thank you. Still getting used to this forum.

[–] Uhohla@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

😬😬😬

That is just insane.

I don’t understand how her genuine followers don’t question it? She looks like a legitimately different person!

Like a blonde cosplaying Sarah Palin or something.

Watch, she’s gonna make a comparison to Elle Woods (?), from Legally Blonde.

I don’t follow her soo if she does lemme know! 🙏🏻😅

I’m honestly starting to think that people see filters so often on Instagram that when they are quickly clicking through stories, they’re not really paying attention all of the time. I know I was fooled a lot of times before I saw the hard evidence on Reddit. I think that not everyone remembers she says she doesn’t filter because she’s probably not all that relevant to them. I used to follow a ton of influencers and tbh I would just swipe through all of their stories. I unfollowed when I realized I was spending the very little time i had to be on Instagram in a day, scrolling through things that didn’t matter to me. I really don’t think that she has that many true fans/followers. The partnerships will start dropping once all the truth finally gets picked up by a major publication. Clocks ticking!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

I’m starting to think they just don’t care. I called her out on the SI post for filtering herself and so many of her cult followers replied saying so what if she does it’s none of my concern if she does 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t get why people are okay with a body positive influencer filtering herself, but they don’t seem to think it’s wrong.

Hopefully this works, I am new to this site In this story , you can see the outline of her normal neck kind of underneath the super tiny jawline she “draws” for herself, but just for a second it’s like you can see the real jaw and the filter redrawing it smaller.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I noticed her real neck girth rolling out under the drawn on contour line. She might as well get her drawn on jawline tattooed on. Did you notice her chin morphing into a perfect point during the video? She also melted a few times.

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Omg I can't stop laughing lol

[–] Blueeyes84@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

This is the almost 40 year old woman who had the audacity to send a cease&desist letter to someone who said she's filtering her face 😂 I feel inspired.Not.

[–] ladybonerforjustice@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You folks have the best eyes for this sort of thing. No wonder she worked SO hard to silence this group lol.

[–] bunniculamonroe@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

What is with the naughty secretary look? I wonder what she filmed 😂
