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!

The Birds Papaya is getting her hair done today and then, that’s it, nothing else is happening. At all. I love this for her and hope it continues. She’s so incredibly vapid and the vocal fry is off the charts. She’s choosing to lean in hard on the skinny editing this week and then tosses in a cellulite pic just to ‘keep it real’. The damage she’s doing to women is incredible. This woman’s entire life is shopping, body-checking, getting her hair done and scrolling her phone. That’s it.

She’s sooooooooo boring. L shipped off to Nana’s I’m sure so she can sit getting her hair fried for the entire day. The most uninteresting person out there, how does she have followers.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Idiocracy in real life

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

Right. Always out spending money and doing nothing important. How is this relatable?

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

A later story shows L at home having her first swimming lesson and Sarah chose to get her hair done instead of being there for that milestone

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Yet she'll post stupid ramblings about treasuring the childhood moments, life speeds by, blah, blah, blah, toss in a teary photo, all for engagement, rather than actually live and experience those things.

The girl ain't right.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And people think she’s mother of the year for some reason 🙄 imagine FaceTiming your kid during their first swim lesson because your hair was more important.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago
[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That made me so sad. I'd be so excited to watch that! What a privilege and she throws it away.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Me too! It’s something I wouldn’t have missed

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

She's so self absorbed. It's cringe.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

I don’t get how people worship this woman who does NOTHING of importance. Goes to Disney, flies to LA or NYC for nothing, goes shopping, gets beauty multiple treatments, hardly spends time with her kids. Wow groundbreaking, I admire her so much 🙄

At this point, her being an "influencer" is reallllllly a stretch. What exactly is she influencing except how to fool people by using filters? This "collab" is a joke, it's her bffs business. 🤦

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

Watch me be a privileged white woman, while rubbing it in your faces and pretending to be relatable

[–] bunniculamonroe@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

Truly. She provides nothing while getting everything.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

LoL. It's laughable at this point.

[–] Thefrogsbanana@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see the fake freckles are back. 🙄

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Fake freckles are so lame. And then women with actual freckles try and hide theirs :(

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

Her hair??? She means new extensions. That is not your hair girrrrrl. Ok bye

[–] Spicykitty@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

I thought her career was demanding. What a conveniently easy demanding work day 😂 I haven't been on here in like a week and one post in, I'm already annoyed lmao

[–] VirgoSnarker@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I hate that I know this.. but based off yesterday’s stories, she’s teasing a collab release with Quickies later today. That’s why her hands were extra animated around her face during this boring story🤣

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So that’s what she was doing in LA. She always get extra sexual around Bailey - it was her podcast where she told us all she finds consent annoying

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She looked like a complete tool doing that.

[–] VirgoSnarker@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Confused why a collab with a straight mother of 4 who does absolutely zero advocacy work would be “PERFECT for the girls/gays/theys” 🙃

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

What absolute trash she is, using the LGBTQIA community to sell products. She does NOTHING for that community, doesn't even comment on the MULTITUDE of issues that community faces as a whole. This is a new low. She thinks she's a hero to "the gays" as she puts it because she puts on her best Rupaul voice to titter with what's their name on their podcast (their name genuinely escapes me right now, but they pretend to be best friends once or twice a year). She's a heinous wretch.

[–] olivesandpoppies@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Only people in the LGBTQIA2S community get to say if someone is an ally, “mother” , icon, etc. You cannot self-appoint yourself. And other white cisgender women don’t get to nominate people for this role either.

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Exactly. Thank you!! She's not an icon or an ally. She has done nothing for the community. I'm not sure if June is pride month in Canada but she loves pretending she's from the US and not one mention of it. Allyship is all about using your privilege and platform to uplit and advocate. She says it's because she doesn't want to alienate or whatever bullshit but honestly I don't see too many people getting upset about LGBTQIA2S like in the past. It's not as polarizing as Gaza (Not that a genocide should be polarizing but I digress) so she really doesn't give an Eff. Why should she? It doesn't affect her. She just profits off it and uses the culture and the lexicon for herself. I would hate to think about how she would react if she had a queer child. She's obviously not a safe space, nor does she expose them. We made a very conscious effort to stay in a big city near the neighborhood my husband and i grew up in. We avoided suburban flight because it's so important to us they live urban and exposed.

I took my daughter to her first pride parade this year. She's 14 and it can be pretty crazy down here (over 1 million attendees yearly) so I held off but she has been around queer people all her life and have always discussed allyship and what it means. My daughter came out as Bi at 10 and my friend bought her a bi flag for her room. We discuss Palestine and politics freely in our home. We are vocal and proud of our beliefs. She can keep her money and followers, I'll keep my convictions and education. Tldr: she sucks.

[–] olivesandpoppies@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pride was June:).

You’re an awesome mom! My partner is pansexual and Indigenous, and I still never just was like “I’m am ally”- I was given that honour by members of both communities after being active in events for years. I love that you are having important discussions in your home ! Similarly, we regularly discuss human rights, consent, trans rights, body autonomy, genocide, advocacy, etc. We wear our pro Pali stuff, pride stuff, and have an awesome circle that supports this.

I can’t imagine having millions of people, (allegedly millions of people) follow me and be OK walking the stage for misogynistic and sexualized magazine edition, and yet not be vocal about genocide, trans rights … literally anything of substance?

Keep supporting your child! It’s obvious that you have a safe space that you have provided, and all homes should be like this. We cannot assume that just because people don’t say anything about something that they are a safe space. It is the reason why it’s so important that everyone is vocal about these things.

You’re a great human!

Are you thinking Myles Sexton? She put on quite the performance for that podcast. Is Bailey part of the LGBTQIA??

** I see that she is

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Ya I wish Bailey would get this memo!!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Has nothing else going on so has to hop onto her friends business 🙄

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

Can’t wait to see the edit for this. God she’s gross. TheBirdsVagina. Reddit won’t even let me post this. 😂

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

This is so stupid. It’s not edgy or suggestive or sexy or empowering. It’s stupid. It’s cringey as fuck. She’s an idiot.

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

So gross. Not even interesting. Almost as bad as her Frank’s body ad pics she made with a papaya.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Let’s make an AD that looks like you just shit yourself 😂 Brilliant.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

The comments all said the same thing as you. Can you imagine paying someone to make people associate your product with diarrhea?

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Wtf is this? I’ve never seen this. It looks like she had an accident. Awful. Not all marketing needs to stoop to the lowest common denominator for fucks sake

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Omg nooooooooo. Her poor kids omg

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Her poor kids alright. Her IG name was based off of her daughter’s nicknames and this pig has managed to sexualize this fruit multiple times.

[–] Bonjourmadame@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Horrible. She has no class at all. My 16 yr old would be so disgusted in me.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No doubt there is a shot of her fully inserting her fingers into that papaya.

[–] outdatedavianfruit@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She TOTALLY gets off on pushing the envelope ! Sad for her whole family. May come back to haunt her one day.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

She'd take that as a compliment. Meanwhile, she's just a desperate hack for attention and has zero skills or talents, so she takes pics that attract pervy weirdos and pedos.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

She’s one step closer to opening that OF account.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Oh this is gross 🤢 close your legs, woman!

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

She will probably edit her birthing baby Jesus because she thinks she's holier than thou.
