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!

She’s playing at something with this pic. She’s showing some skin texture and the eyes aren’t huge but the neck isnt her own. The lips are so strange and unnatural. What else am I missing? She’s trying to keep working the con that she doesn’t filter and only uses Botox for migraines

She's showing a belly roll and skin texture to pretend she doesn't filter. She's such a manipulative hack.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is why she's SO eXhAuStEd; she went to NYC to stay in a luxury hotel and watch a screening of a documentary (that was also playing nearby in Toronto at TIFF), then flew to LA to eat at a couple of restaurants, take a pic in a pool, take a bunch of pics in a bikini, and visit a podcast. Instead of her kids last week in high school, all three older kids’ exams, and being a mom to her 3-year-old (nothing new, Nanak is with her 5 out of 7 days, at least), what a sad life. She comes home, goes shopping, and gives herself gold stars while posting filtered pics. So dumb.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just don’t understand why she makes the choices she does and I guess that’s okay but she’s living her life like she’s single. I don’t understand why she decided to have a fourth child (other than for content). I could almost understand if Shane really wanted a child of his own but he didn’t and now he and the Grandma are doing the heavy-lifting when it comes to raising her. I just can’t see Sarah getting involved in the school world once she starts so Shane will have to wear that hat too.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the teens need a mom now more than ever. I really feel for them.

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

You’re right. That was my experience. They need you the most when they think they don’t need you.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

She’s redefining what it means to be a Single Mother.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Woooow. Gold stars for....errands???? She's makes my skin crawl.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Have you noticed she gives herself gold stars for all the things most adults do as a matter of course and don’t even think about? Maybe Shane might have wanted to get out of the house by himself after holding down the fort all week but she’s off doing errands instead of spending time with the little one.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Her idea of spending time with L is to take her to the mall, Simply Wonderful or Value Village.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember when my partner would be away for work and I was home all week with the kids as soon as he got home I got out of the house by myself for a couple of hours to reset.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Same. It's needed! But she doesn't give a fuck about anyone but her precious little self

[–] auntiemameishung@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

I had a friend like this. She was a stay at home wife and sent me constant texts about her "hardships" and how "life wasn't fair" .. ie. "fack my life, my prescription isn't at the pharmacist yet and I have to wait" and I would be like "ummmmm okay". Some people can not handle much, their brains are not equipped. BP seems the same.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

To go buy whatever they need or want from Costco, etc. for their Disney trip, graduation, and life. They don't have to worry about being on call, having to work a second job, and fit in errands that they don't know how they'll pay for. She's such a warrior!!

[–] bunniculamonroe@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

And they don't have to worry about meal planning and having a list and sticking to it because they have to stay in budget so they can eat the rest of the month. Errands are much easier when you don't have to think about how you are going to pay for things.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Definitely needed another pair of Mickey ears!

[–] Amb2023@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don’t understand how many pairs of ears a family needs to have 🫣

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is what happens when the only things that feed your dopamine addiction are attention and shopping. She's a professional dopamine chaser.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

She has all those custom made ears that Reitman’s sent her after the collab she has yet to even use

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine hdving to document your life like this? I went grocery shopping for the first time in two weeks today, big whoop. I don’t feel the need for gold stars or a pat on the back, I just went about my life and did what I needed to do after a being on a trip.

And did Lemon really need ANOTHER pair of Mickey ears? She prob has 20 already. Her errands are just buying more shit she doesn’t need, it’s never for necessities especially when veggie stands are back to dropping off fruit and veggies for her that she lets rot to death 🙄

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The prices at that veggie stand make my jaw drop.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

I already don’t wanna support them because they send her stuff but good to know it’s expensive so now I really won’t support haha

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Her followers are so ridiculous “my god what a schedule” yes flying to NYC and LA with zero responsibilities is so difficult

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

Those lips are so over filled.

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

errands? So relatable. Here's a side by side of Sarah from a Women's Health Magazine interview (no filter was used, date February 9, 2023) next to Sarah's Sports Illustrated runway walk (no filter was used, June 26, 2024). Other than the her head tilt, makeup and a slight weight loss, she looks the same.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When I put the two unedited, unfiltered images together, Sarah's skull size, lips, nose and eyes match up.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I used the unfiltered images of Alix Earle from the SI runway and Getty images and her face also lined up.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Look what happened when I tried to line up Sarah's heavily filtered image vs. slightly photoshopped.

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

Woah! I wonder if that’s what it’s like to live inside her head? The two images aren’t even close but she continues to say she doesn’t filter her image. How can she keep beating that drum but also - how can people not see it! It’s so obvious!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Wow all these side by sides are WILD! Someone should send it to her haha. I would if I wasn’t blocked

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago
[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep! She looks the same in the pictures taken and posted by other media outlets. What’s up with that? Did their equipment just receive her image that way?

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

the size difference of her head. The alien head is out of control!

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How do people still follow???

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I honestly do not know. Who gives a shit about this mindless babbling.

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

It's not even her real hair ffs lol

[–] Spicykitty@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Here's that delicate baby chin again 😂😂

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sarah's head shows up in many ways.

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

That middle shot is unsettling. Looks like someone recovering from a major facial trauma injury, or a bee sting mishap. And the angle on those eyes! It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

That’s an amazing screenshot!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mods? Can we get a general thread like the Reddit page had? I think it’d be good to be able to chat about things but not always have to make a post

She’s a SM Influencer who says she never filters her image and doesn’t use any enhancements except for Botox in her jaw for migraines
