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!

Remember when she publicly accused her ex of SA? Was consent annoying then, or just when it's convenient for you and your stories? Is it #metoo or #meonly? She's filth

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She insinuated every possible type of abuse from her ex. So fucked up. S Meanwhile she was the one…

This is often the case with abusers. Actual abuse victims rarely want to talk about their abuse with people they are close with, let alone random internet strangers.

Someone who runs around telling anyone who will listen how they were abused or mistreated is more likely to be the perpetrator of abuse than the victim of abuse. The more recent the abuse the more likely this is true.

The whole abuse dialogue about her ex sounded more like Sarah running a smear campaign. There's a 99.9% chance Sarah cheated on her ex husband then said "I was abused."

Like how she started working for Shane, with zero credentials and nobody else was interviewed, and got the job as a food editor, two weeks after she left her ex? How she worked as a server at Shane’s fav restaurant? I guarantee you she fed Shane a BS narrative about being a poor mistreated single mom on the brink of homelessnesa—-meanwhile she’s been a kept woman her entire adult life… “I didn't even have my own bank account” yeah she also refused to drive anywhere and wouldn't go anywhere alone with her kids (her words)she had no experience yet was able to buy a house and car and pay all the bills? No. Her parents and Shane did it for her. She shopped, took selfies, and played makeup and hair and had very little responsibilities. We all see how Nana K does it all. I'm sure she raised those kids when they were little.

I am so glad this clip is here. She’s hoping it’s gone forever so she can deny ever saying it.

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This clip is wild. I’m glad it still exists. .

[–] olivesandpoppies@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who was on this podcast besides TBP? Was it Bailey?

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, Bailey’s podcast with Sarah as a guest.
