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 looks like she was just there to watch the documentary so why was she making such a big deal about it? This is the same as when Leaky went to see the JLo movie last year and pretended she was a celebrity
I don’t understand what the payoff is for her to do this? It must be important, right? She’s flown off to NY the week that two of her kids are graduating and may be experiencing some nerves or need some help getting ready for their events but she had to go on a really important work trip.
They are with their real parent. The one who has been there for them their entire lives. Not galivanting off to some make believe important "work" trip. Those kids will never be first when they are in her custody - but she will take the crocodile tears and clout of their graduation for likes and views from bots
You are completely right and she’s missed out because kids remember the time and attention they’ve received and not how much someone spends on them
It was a movie screening. She’s a lying fraud.
She made it sound like she was going to meet Celine Dion but she was just in the same general area as Celine Dion. 🙄 Anyone who has been to a concert had a more personal experience
I can’t believe she got flown to NYC to watch a movie, eat bagels and talk into her phone in a hotel room, it’s ridiculous. She couldn’t have just got sent to the Toronto premiere? What even was the point. She isn’t even there to interview Celine or anything.
She always wants to say yes to things but maybe it isn’t worth it when there’s more important things at home? But guess nothing is more important than her playing make believe in a big city.
It seems like a huge waste of time to me
Agreed. Waste of resources that’s for sure. What was she even doing it for? Not like she was reporting it or writing a piece on it.
She says she was sobbing at the end of the documentary. Wow!
Lmao loser
Just like with Inside Out 2! 🤪
She gets reassured the world still revolves around her.
Her mother is probably doing all the work for any celebrations
That filter glitch is insane 😱. How do her followers not see this?
We all were, did, and that's why we're here now, one ex-follower at a time!
WOW those glitches! 😂 It doesn't even look like her lol. Someone on the Ariana subreddit posted that TBP looked like Skylar from breaking bad here and I can't unsee it.
That's who it is!! Yes!
back of the theatre too
Interesting she tagged hers as "hosted," Brynta Ponn marked hers as an ad. Shady effing practices if you ask me.
