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!

Can’t help but LMAO at her getting dinged at the border. She probably thought she could show her cleavage and get sent through easy peasy lol

Notice how much her content has just become her mass consumerism? Like it’s legit all she shows herself doing these days. Spend spend spend. Why does she think people care about this? Why do people continue to support her?

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sarah's posts in a nutshell: spend-spend- tits- licking and flicking food with her tongue-spend- spend- naked-kid with pov camera-naked-cry-cry-naked-tits- spend-dirty joke-spend-spend. Has she stopped slapping the fupa? Where is the fupa?

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

Summed it up perfectly! Terrible content. No worries, maybe a fupa post will come now that you mentioned it.

Just me ? or has the cleavage been really over the top lately. Just seems to be scraping the barrel for a certain demographic of followers.

And she’s so cheap with her own kids. Spend spend spend on herself but she gets dinged on a one day (not even!) trip with her daughters, one of whom is getting ready to go to uni, and she’s complaining about $200. Really? Sad for those girls.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right? She legit never complains about money she spends on herself daily but complains bc she didn’t get her way yesterday. Most of the stuff bought yesterday was probably for herself considering how much she was babbling on about a dumb animated Mickey Mouse she needs to have.

“Can’t wait to show you where we go!” And it’s just shopping in the USA. Okay big deal. She always makes it seem like something so exciting just for it to be the most unexciting thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a target shopping trip but I also wouldn’t tease it like I was going to do something extraordinary.

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Considering all the trips and treats she gives herself I actually thought she was doing something special with her girls. What an ass she is.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

She made it seem like it was something special but nope just more shopping because she doesn’t do enough of that 🙄

Like what about a nice spa day for mani and pedis before M leaves, nope Sarah only pampers herself. A day at the CNE, go to Niagara Falls/NOTL (without shopping), treat them to a hotel out of her own pocket and explore a city for a day. So many possibilities but all she can think to do is shop since no one offered her anything free.

And once again she spends her money out of country to boost the American economy.

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Ok this one actually pisses me off

I have a 21 year old. So I get that parenting is fucking hard. But I have never heard someone speak about parenting in such an entitled self centered way as “you put a lot of work into raising a kid”. Really wordsmith lady??? Seeing your kid go to college is hard bc you have invested a lot into her?!?!? Not bc you’ll miss her and you’re scared and excited and freaking out but bc you put a lot of WORK into her?! GTFOH! How disgusting.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She never, ever gives her co-parent/ex-husband any credit for raising those 3 kids. She talks like she was there nurturing them and guiding them but, from the outside, it looks like going to her house is when it’s time for a free-for-all - no responsibilities around the house and eating fast-food - half the time she isn’t even there and their step-father is the parent. I don’t think she’s put much into raising them at all but they are integral to the online success she enjoys today. I really hope M doesn’t go home every weekend, I hope she finds her tribe, her confidence and has the best time of her life!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

THIS!!!! I’m sick of her acting like she did it alone when there was a father and nana K there too. I’m sure those kids get far more out of going to their dad’s house than they do Sarah’s house. I bet their dad was far more helpful to M getting into university than Sarah ever was (helping with homework, helping her decide where she’d like to go, etc).

I bet Sarah made her feel guilty about coming home and maybe M feels she’ll be homesick but I’m sure once she gets there and has her school load, makes friends, wants to explore a new(?) city, the whole coming home every weekend won’t happen. And I’d love that for her!

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not willing to give anyone credit without evidence (the dad). But even if she did do it alone (we know she didn't bc of her parents at the very least), phrasing it the way she did is disgusting. Kids aren’t bank accounts or time cards. You’re not happy because you get some ROI out of your “hard work”.

This made me livid. Sarah's self centered behavior is off the charts.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Agreed on all points!

Also, when she was filming M talking about wanting to bring the cat with her. I can’t help but wonder if Sarah was secretly filming like the bitch she is. We know M doesn’t like being on camera so i just feel Sarah was sneakily recording that conversation.

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Ewww. Now they got NK strapping a camera to that poor baby in Birdie's absence. Can you just imagine that conversation?! "Here mom, if you go to the store don't forget to strap L's camera to her." Just vile. I can't.

[–] outdatedavianfruit@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That child’s whole life is consumed by marvelling over cheap imported merchandise, Her upbringing has been very shallow and restricted.. Will be interesting when she finally gets to formal education and interacts with other children who have been introduced to so much more varied, educational experiences.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago

I got angry when Sarah said it’s Halloween season for L. The only reason she thinks it’s Halloween is because her mother drags her shopping almost every, single day. There is still Labour Day and Thanksgiving to get through before Halloween should be a thought in a small child’s mind!

Ah, back to normal; Lemon being dropped off at NK’s house. Not like Sarah has anything going on career wise, she’s so dried up. The only reason she still has followers is bc she sprinkles in a stretch mark video once a week to show how relatable she is to her flock.

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

It just makes no sense to me that her unemployed father can't take care of her. And that's with me giving Sarah the benefit of the doubt she is "busy". What's he doing? I kinda get it that Nana K is a ECE and she can give her enrichment but honestly it's not that hard to do for a 3 year old! They can figure it out.

My mom was a sped teacher and I had a speech delayed kid so sometimes my mom would help me out with lessons. I totally understand the privilege of having someone but the that just seems excessive and lazy, tbh

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I agree. I’m sure both of them have enough free time in their days to watch her on and off. It can’t be that hard to read her books, teach her words and spelling, play educational games with her, take her outside to play, take her to the library etc. NK could even help from a distance and give them ideas of how to give her enrichment at home. It can’t be easy on NK having to care for a 3.5 year old every day with a chronic illness while L’s lazy ass parents do nothing at home all day.

Shane does NOTHING with her that we see and all Sarah does with her is take her to value village, simply wonderful and home sense so sarah can buy more garbage. Good lord how can they be so useless to their daughter.

[–] Chickpea@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He is unemployed now? Maybe they are following the Jilian Harris model where the husband can be unemployed and unencumbered with child care or cleaning.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

A year or so ago we noticed on Linkdin that he was no longer with his company. This wasn’t long after she put out a job posting and we think at the end of the day Shane got the job lol

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m starting to wonder if Nana K actually is an ECE or did she just run a home daycare for years so she’s just been awarded the credentials.

Spotted commenting on another influencers photo that a lake in Alberta is the top of her bucket list. Made me laugh that she’s never been there as a Canadian (I’m Canadian too and travel within is very expensive) but flys to Florida multiple times a year.

She really goes out of her way to be sheltered.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

Top of her bucket list? Why doesn’t she go then? She has all the means to go, it isn’t like people who have big bucket list items and can’t afford it, she CAN afford it easily but she chooses Disney every single trip! I’m sure her kids would love to see it too, give them something different. Why didn’t they go last trip instead of Disney!????

She’s just putting it out there so Fairmont will invite her out I’m sure.

[–] Lisamarie@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s exactly what she’s doing! She’s such a jerk!

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

I hate her so much. If she gets a package soon inviting her out I’m gonna scream.

[–] ladybonerforjustice@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Did the Fairmont invite Alicia? If so that’s gross. I’m so tired of them gifting trips to influencers who don’t deserve it in ANY way. Jillian Harris even posted a rant on her snark subreddit where she bragged about her #hosted stays. Let them eat cake!

I pray I never see a swimsuit shoot of her at Lake Louise. 🤮 we can enjoy the beauty of this country without her spoiling it. Also not holding my breath till she takes a Canadian vacation. She’ll take fake and plastic Disney over natural beauty at home any day. Prob knows zip about her homeland..

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

She didn’t know Kelowna was burning just days before she was supposed to go! She knows nothing about Canada or any current event that doesn’t involve a movie, pop star or Disney.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

Sarah's waiting for a free trip.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

What is the dream future job exactly? What does she think she’s qualified for at Disney? Just because you go on trips and buy cheap crap doesn’t mean you’re qualified for a job there. She has no education, all she does is post naked photos and videos on Instagram and she thinks she’s future job at Disney qualified. Typical birdie thinks it’ll all be handed to her. Maybe she can be a mascot lol 😂

Also where’s her Iceland ass??? lol

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Sarah's Iceland ass is gone. At first I thought her lower half was on front to back.

🙄her posting L with a friend to “prove us wrong”. Her playing with a kid once or twice a year isn’t enough. Going to be a long year before kindie next Sep.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

How does she already have over 2000 new followers today? 🤔

[–] bunniculamonroe@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

She doesn't. They aren't real. I noticed yesterday that she has way more followers than Cyndi Lauper which seems like a weird comparison but she popped up in my feed. When you see her outranking people who are actually famous it is a good indicator she buys tons of bots. This women literally puts out nothing helpful, and has no skills, talent, or personality. She just talks about herself, doesn't seem very smart, and writes bad captions she thinks are deep and artsy. I'd even have a modicum of respect for her if she made a goal to read a book a month and discuss it. It would be something. Instead, she watches movies, gives a generic review and ranks with bells, then goes out to buy every secondhand find that she can get her greedy hands on and gloats.

Edit to add: There isn't anything even endearing about her. I could potentially see people liking her if she was thoughtful, witty/funny, or charming but there's nothing. I don't even think she knows who she is herself because she is always taking on the next personality. It is uncomfortable to watch.

Not petty, totally valid. No outside clothes in the sanctity of the bed!

Where ever they are going I’m sure it will be #gifted and primed for content. I might eat my words but Sarah has never done a single thing for her family that isn’t gifted or something she hoped would go viral. Can’t wait for her to Sarahsplain the powerful gifted time with her oldest that she’s just been too busy for being a struggling single mom who has no personality or privacy so she had to have sex on a rock in the park. She’s gross in every way possible!

[–] bunniculamonroe@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They went to f*cking Target.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Cat and Nat had a deal with Target this week. Interesting. USA-based work.

Oh it’s 100% gifted. She literally never does a single thing with her kids out of the goodness of her heart and with her wallet.

I thought maybe Comic-Con in Toronto but Sarah isn’t dressed for attention. Or I thought she’s taking them to their cottage.
