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!

Cool. Another undeserved brand trip to Europe (maybe Austraulia) where she will take filtered photos, not leave her hotel and hyper fixate on the most asinine thing.

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

It always kind of amazes me that she does all this traveling and is never sick, like not even a cold ffs and has 4 germy kids. I guess she isn’t around them enough to pick anything up to be fair.

Oh good she’s back to being an advocate for breast cancer awareness after forgetting for months when she said she’d remind her followers every month to check their breasts 🙄🙄

And she has an appointment with an Endocrinologist today, can’t wait to see what new illness she starts pushing and to use as an excuse!!!

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

Prob for a diagnosis so she can have an excuse to use Ozempic lol. Go Birdshit go! Enjoy! Anything to be thin girl lol

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

My first thought! My endo was the first to prescribe me Ozempic over 2 years ago. I hadn't even heard of it. I went in for potential PCOS and left with a diagnosis of weight loss. Everything she does is a ruse and calculated. She didnt drop that Ozempic episode for nothing.

It's super cool that the episode of TBP in which the woman talks about wanting to breastfeed her husband but that he’s not into “adult nursing relationships” has been deleted. All the others are still up. She says, “Consent is annoying; I just want him to do what I want him to do.”

We called her out, and now it’s missing. However, this promo is still on Bailey’s podcast page.

What a weak, fake, cowardly shell of a human TBP is.

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

That’s her alright. Delete and pretend it never happened. Like the plagiarism.

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

What a loser. Deleting things so she doesn't get confronted. Also, the arm up lol

How interesting that none of the Shine clique went to the Jillian Harris event. Jilly will play nice because Sarah is the influencer mean girl but it’s gotta sting. Maybe because the Canadian landscape is so angry with Loblaws and Shine chooses to stay away from controversy - from grocery executives to trans rights for kids and poverty - Sarah only talks about fluff. Unless it’s one of her many traumas, like trick or treating as a teen, or her many illnesses then it’s on repeat! Like yesterday’s post in case we forgot she’s divorced. 😂 She must be so bitter that her buddy Amanda gets to share her divorce content with all those followers!

[–] cookiefleck@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

SPEAKING OF, it’s probably time for her to recycle her teens trick-or-treating content for every last ounce of attention she can. Gross.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

Any day now. She’ll have to include University students this year though. She’s out walking the neighborhood showing everyone how to find her house again.

[–] ArtisticAdiago@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

And a paid Yahoo article about being an advocate for teen trick-or-treating 🤦🏻‍♀️

Could you imagine being Shane...her current husband, always having to hear her go on about her divorce? How degrading

How many years has it been since her divorce now? It’s embarrassing. Move on ya one-trick pony.

Birdshit made it sound like she couldn’t attend because of her health appointment yesterday

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

Always trying to get a diagnosis...yes she's constantly online as her fake, filtered self acting perfectly peachy. Maybe the problem is your online filtered version of yourself Birdshit. When you look at your real face on the mirror it's must be horrifying. You did that to yourself. Go away!

Oh poor birdie couldn’t get out of bed after a concert to drive the kids to school. My fiancé and I go to a lot of concerts, get home late and my fiance is still up at 5am to go to work. She’s so fucking lazy. Her only responsibility and she can’t even get up to do it 🙄 also why not just use the Nespresso machine she had to have??

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

With all her lazy behaviours her manipulation of her family has to be her greatest trick. Why Shane or her mother would fall at her feet to serve her is beyond me. She has the “people” believing she is sacrificing it all to make the world a better place by showing her stretch marks. As if. She’s a carefully and strategically planned promotion to make money - it’s not authentic in any way. Influencers should be required to share daily health warnings like cigarette cartons. Woman’s mental health is a heath crisis - someone needs to step in!

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

All of this. It's disgraceful that she not only manipulates the other adults, but the children too. I feel certain this is a lifelong behaviour, and she really believes she is a special, hardworking little soldier.

Toronto has an 11pm curfew. Leave the venue and on the road by 11:30pm. Home by 12:30pm with 401 traffic at night. That's easily still 7 hours sleep. Shut up. Can't get out of bed, but expects the kid who went with her, to go to school.....

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

Another example of how tone deaf and pathetic she is..

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I am in the midst of a really bad fibromyalgia flare and have had insomnia for the last week or so. I did a deep dive/scroll on her IG bc I had time at 3am, and hoped it would bore me to sleep lol. But her IG tells a really sad story. Much farther back, when her 100 lb weight loss was her whole identity, every 6-10 posts was a side by side of old “fat” self next to current waif self. I mean she posted these constantly!
Not sure which of you recently pointed this out, but her pregnancy with L is what triggered this latest spiral of hers. She was feeling good about herself bc she was thin. She struggled with her feelings about pregnancy and pregnant body (and to be clear, I’m not saying she struggled with her feelings about L. But she did have some honest moments about “bonding” struggles) (and if you just looked without reading you’d never guess she struggled…. A lot of skin in the feed!) and I’m sure she legit had some depression issues. The thing is she has never dealt with her disordered eating and body dysmorphia. So here we are. The 100lb weight loss is way in the past so that can’t be her identity. She’s loving her current weight loss a lot, obviously. But clearly she’s still unwell bc her use of filters is insane.
She’s really not a well person. In addition to fueling other people’s hypochondria, she’s doing damage to some like me who sought her content for legit inspiration. It fucks with my head and my self image. It has to be doing the same to women who don’t know what’s going on. She needs so much real therapy. Seriously. The hypochondria alone is wild and unchecked. How many illnesses has she had oh so briefly? Must be nice. Anyone with chronic pain issues must question why they can’t just stop feeling their illness and go traveling and shopping instead. And I don’t say that to be glib. The story her grid tells is sad, even scary. It’s all so gross. Janette nailed it too. Interestingly I was mentally composing this post or a blog post of my own at the same time Janette posted that story.
Anyway, just my thoughts.

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

That was me and you're right. But also, this is family history. Her sister ended up with an ED because she had her jaw wired shut in high school because she had jaw surgery and lost a lot of weight. Had every one of her kids pre term because of this. When S lost the 100lbs, it was from starving herself thin and when people called her out, she said she "couldn't possibly have an ED" because her sister did and it "hit close to home" for her. She sold her sister out and her story to save face. Then, years later she copped to it, because it was her new narrative. NK was also severely overweight and had a bypass or sleeve. She had complications with it because she continued to over eat...again, not addressing the root cause of it. The whole family has an unhealthy relationship with food and body dysphoria. SO when people ask "how does her family support this"..........this is why. They don't even see if because they also suffer from it

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

Yes I’ve noticed that family pattern as well. I feel sad for NK bc as someone with Fibro and I can’t fathom how she does so much all the time. Maybe she’s a hypochondriac too or maybe she’s managing hers better. Who knows…but It’s not all sunshine and thrifted fucking roses in that gene pool, that’s for sure!

[–] No_really_why@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

I’m betting she’s desperately hoping to lose enough weight to look like her filters so no one can “gotcha” her… but she doesn’t realize weight loss doesn’t equal filters changing your skull structure.

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

I’m so sorry you’re in the middle of a flair. You’ve perfectly summed up Birdie. She is, in no way, happy with the way she looks and, like you, I believe she has some serious issues that really need addressing. She has such a need for attention she’ll go to any length to get it. Did you notice her ‘illnesses’ seem to crop up when her engagement gets low? She’s like every liar I’ve ever known. When they are caught, backed into the corner, they will pull something from out of their bag of tricks to deflect. I feel so badly for those followers who are still believers because they must go through so much turmoil trying to make sense of what they see.

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Yeah i have def noticed that. I think she’s a true narcissist. Grandiose sense of self, and all the other text book traits. When narcs are confronted or found out, they lash out. In her case I think she manipulates and deflects with conjured illnesses. Bleh

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

Meanwhile, her mother has a real illness but she’s the one raising the youngest.

Oh ya! Sh!t she should have gave credit to Axl for this look. Has Halloween come early?

Fewer things make me more suspicious then when she doesn’t show her face all day, always makes me think she’s had some work done. She loves having her filtered face shown every single day while doing some rambling so when she doesn’t show it I’m like hmmmm.

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

She just showed her face, and even though she tried to filter them away, you could clearly see the injection bumps on her forehead. I get botox too and it's obvious lol just in time for her forehead to be frozen for her next trip.

Probably one of the best things she’s ever posted.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

There she is, she’s got her teen filter going to act like a teen tonight and see Billie where I’m sure she’ll wear some ridiculous outfit to be cool and fit in with the kids.

Do her kids ever get to do anything fun that doesn’t involve their mom and one of her influencer friends? I love my mom to death but I did so many things with just my friends at their ages! At G’s age I had def been to concerts with just my friends. They can never seem to do anything where Sarah isn’t involved, poor kids.

I’m so embarrassed for her daughter and her friend. Imagine going to a concert with your mom dressed like this???? She always needs all the attention.

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

If I made a reel like this to go somewhere with my kids, they’d be horrified!!

A stretch mark post because her last post only had about 300 comments. Those pants are open so low, how calculated and strange.

As always - how contradictory - bellies have marks but your face should age backwards Sarah’s botoxed face is more expressionless and firm looking than a teenagers.
