She made a 3 slide story talking manically about a Roots Wicked collab and how wild it was. READ THE FUCKING ROOM.

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!

Her privilege is really showing today. While so many millions of people are terrified for their lives and future right now, here’s Birdie bragging about jetting off to 4 different places including two places in the States which she has shown ZERO concern for over the election.
She needs a reality check SO BAD. But she keeps getting everything handed to her and she’s so coddled she’ll never get that reality check at this rate. She just keeps skating by, not giving a shit about the world around her and getting everything she wants for free. It’s sickening to watch.
Also could her videos be any shittier quality? Jfc.
She’s so predictable. Happier than a pig in shit today after yesterday’s performance 🥹 I hope she ends up with Covid and the Flu 😷. Happy travels Birdshit.
Not her acting today like she suddenly gives a shit about what is going on in the world. She didn’t once post about what is happening across the border so don’t act like today you suddenly care. She has a platform big enough to show that she gives a single shit but she chooses to ignore and act like the world is made of marshmallows and Disney castle's. Sorry but your fake ass concern today isn’t fooling me.
Oh no she didn’t 🤬 She can fuck right on off. As a middle aged female person of color in the US about to get fucked every which way she needs to NOT EVEN!!!! Excuse my strong language but I am feeling even my library card is being threatened right now!!!!
Also, a middle-aged woman of color here, albeit in a blue enclave, but I still don't feel safe. I posted on reddit, but I'm terrified. I looked at my husband and told him omg if you were a Trump/Walz supporter, I would feel so unsafe right now. I literally had a flashback to handmaiden tale where she goes to the bank and they don't let her withdraw without her husband's permission. How close that can be to my future! Or worse, my daughter's.
I’m in SoCal as blue as it gets and I absolutely do not feel safe. I am so afraid of loosing the ACA (which is not actually affordable) but the pre existing conditions issue would be prohibitive for me going forward. Terrified the reproductive rights problems could come for us. What if I needed to relocate due to high cost of living, I am nearly 50 and could not imagine being forced into a full term pregnancy. I have adult children!!! Option B being permanent sterilization, I don’t want to be forced into mutilating my body to prevent a pregnancy. I am officially into my doomsday phase of grief for today! 😣
I completely relate and understand. We shouldn't be forced to make decisions about our bodies because of politics. I have a 14 year old daughter. I'm having to debate if I should put her on a 10 yr IUD. It also scares me to think that she won't have insurance in 4 years. I'm thinking of you and all women. I'm scared for all of us but I know we at least we will always have each other.
If anything, she will try to stand by "I didn't say anything because I am not American", but again, that will show her uneducated, white privilege. If she knew anything about anything, she would realize that the same rhetoric is seeping it's way into Canadian politics and we are in danger of far right taking cover the country, just because people don't like the leader we currently have. Many of the same things are at risk - including women's health care rights. She is a mother of daughters and she really needs to open her damn eyes. If you're going to have your phone in your face all day long, as least educate yourself with it.
THIS!!! I’m sure she doesn’t even realize we have our own Trump like issues here because all she cares about in life is Disney and buying more crap to clutter her house with. I get sometimes people feel better just avoiding these things but I’m sorry when it’s as big as this you just can’t ignore it especially as a woman, a woman with daughters, if you care about the LGBTQ+ community, people of colour, etc. she literally stands for NOTHING except teens treat or treating rights and it’s pathetic. She doesn’t deserve her platform at all if she’ll never use it for good. I’d rather lose followers because I stood up for what I believed in instead of sitting on my hands afraid of what will happen when I show my support for people who need my support.
She’s a coward, that’s all that can be said. It was said on Reddit but maybe Shame and/or her are on the wrong side and that’s why she doesn’t speak up, not like she’s made us believe otherwise 🤷🏻♀️
Her and Shillian won't say much of anything anymore. I think it's because MANY of their cult members are the same women who do support Trump and in Canada PP. They are white, middle class, probably very religious, lack critical thinking skills etc (I could do on). If either of them makes political statements that don't align with their base, they risk angering them, which could intern impact them doing things like stop buying the garbage they are constantly shilling.
She’s a spineless Tool who is more concerned with not losing followers and not compromising partners/future partnerships.
Why is she acting like such a hero for telling people to tag her for contests! Lmao. I tag my close friends all the time, they do the same with me, we don’t act like heroes over it lol. She’s always acting like she’s such a savior for the world.
Her world really is so small lol the comments are sick, though. Women said they cried over this and how amazing she is. They don't need a "friend" like SNL they need therapy.
They cried? How goddamn pathetic is that. All she said was you can tag me on contests. She isn’t even doing anything groundbreaking and she said she took the idea from Bailey!
Amazing that people can be so naive and brain dead. Also don’t a lot of contests actually verify that they are actually friends if chosen?
Meanwhile she’s doing it for the sole purpose of getting her IG handle shared and passed around.
Not to mention some contests are for you and the person you tagged. She wants more stuff.
Wonder how she feels about her favorite player being under fire for smashing a phone and using a slur. It's been all over the news here. He's trash, and i wouldn't support him no matter what. I have convictions, though.
100% a ghost writer or it’s a collection of her posts w photos. Can you imagine her telling the story of her ex? She's going to insinuate all the things without actually saying it. Such a defamatory liar. I hope she checks her book against all her posts. Maybe her book will be in a Jilly box 🥳
I hope it’s a massive failure. I don’t understand why her fans need to hear and now read the same bs over and over. It won’t be in the box before Jillian’s book 😆. I wonder when it comes out?
Engagement must be slipping, time to start the week with half naked photos in a bathtub and some toilet poetry about her body!!!
She has no substance, she's not a whole person. She's a walking fupa with stretch marks. Guess what, Birdie? Most of us have a belly, loose skin and stretch marks but we are so much more, we have a meaning in life and find value in a zillion other things!
She can't pose to save her life. What is this?
She looks like a teacher with her hand on her hip who is annoyed with a student…but in an empty bathtub With no clothes (AGAIN) It’s so freaking odd. And not in an artistic avante garde type of way.
If this was posted on Halloween I would have thought horror movie?! It’s not a look!
I can’t with the comments. This freak in the last comment with an account with no posts or followers. Also why the do these clowns think she can write a book? Do we need a book about her stretch marks? I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s going to do it. Jillian is.
A lot of the comments are from bots. I suspect they always have been. She's a fake.
It’s very cult like, brainwashed, mindless. Somewhat scary, if these are real people
Can you even imagine being her editor or fact-checker? What a nightmare! It’s really funny, to me, that this almost 40-year old woman thinks her story is so unique that it’s worthy of a book. I also doubt she’s going to be able to hit deadlines.
If her book is anything like her word soup stories, LPC listing from Chat GPT, or the cease and desist letter from her lawyer…we can guarantee it’ll 5th grade reading level
And there it is….
Oh my goodness, NO. But let her go ahead. Bargain bin books might give her and the people who put her name on things a clue to how many people actually know who she is. It is very, very easy to make a book if you have the money to these days. If she publishes she put the money behind it, I won’t believe for a second someone paid her to do it.
Why does she look so deranged in the photos she’s posting today? Is she trying to be artistic or hide something?
God people make her believe she can do anything. Her words aren’t anything groundbreaking or nothing we’ve all heard before. She is not as special as people make her out to be!!!! I hope this flops. She’ll prob have a ghostwriter anyways and just slap her name on it like everything else she does.
She will totally need a ghost writer. We all know the calibre of her writing skills.
Awe thanks for lining my pockets!
I was shocked she remembered the cottage still existed because she hasn’t mentioned it all summer.
ETA: love how she had to brag about her guest book and everyone kissing her ass 🙄🙄
I truly don’t feel it’s done as well as she’s pretending. Not a single post on the IG since April. Not a single hashtag on IG from guests trying to brag about staying there. The only hashtag is from the web designer. Looking at Air BnB , there's 4 reviews. I think ONE is from somebody who actually stayed there. 2 is about the host who is actually doing to leg work for bookings and one is from her friend. From the late launch, the “contest”, which we didn’t hear anything about after her announcing it, her own family time up there…there was only a limited time to choose from. When I looked in June, just out of curiosity, there was still lots of openings available.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s faking it about how well it’s done. His silence was deafening about it the entire summer. She loves to brag so you’d think she would’ve bragged about the place all summer long but total silence 🤷🏻♀️
