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!

I have to say the art work was quite interesting. It must be difficult for Birdie not to capitalize on whatever is going on there. Maybe she will elaborate on it since she posted it and left a lot people now wondering. * Also she’s a 🤡 for this post. You’re so cool.
I commented on another post about the artwork and the accompanying write up. There’s something going on in this family and has Sarah with all her turmoil and angst and couch watch this past year been trying to one-up her daughter?
It’s hard to find the words to talk about it without offending someone or being too judgmental! Definitely agree something is just so off with them.
Pro artist....wow. Poor kid
Her real features are there so she had to alter the angle
She 100% did it for the comments. As for birdie I felt so upset when I seen she posted her daughter’s art with the story behind it. Made me feel really sad her mom just blasts it all over social media.
My mom would always need to bring a friend with her everywhere for what ever reason and this is reminding me of that.
What does Sarah need to bring a friend to her daughter’s schools art show? Why does a stranger need to come evaluate a bunch of kids work? This whole story was so strange and really makes me wonder about the dynamic in their house. Also I wonder if she asked the parents of the other students whose artwork she showed if it was okay to show that to her 2 mil bot followers.
I haven’t seen this but wanted to say it annoys me Londre Bodywear did a colab with her too. I really love their swimsuits and they work for my body in a way that others don’t. Bad Londre!
Ugh 100%. When I saw the email from them, I was so disappointed 😤Deleted so fast lol
For brands you no longer support, make sure you unsubscribe from their emails, & unfollow them all on socials.
At least I have several of their suits now so don’t have any need of new ones anytime soon.
It’s so bizarre.
Don’t know how to add an image yet - anyone else is welcome to haha
