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!

She’s playing at something with this pic. She’s showing some skin texture and the eyes aren’t huge but the neck isnt her own. The lips are so strange and unnatural. What else am I missing? She’s trying to keep working the con that she doesn’t filter and only uses Botox for migraines
Woooow. Gold stars for....errands???? She's makes my skin crawl.
Have you noticed she gives herself gold stars for all the things most adults do as a matter of course and don’t even think about? Maybe Shane might have wanted to get out of the house by himself after holding down the fort all week but she’s off doing errands instead of spending time with the little one.
Her idea of spending time with L is to take her to the mall, Simply Wonderful or Value Village.
Right!!!!! It's gross.
I remember when my partner would be away for work and I was home all week with the kids as soon as he got home I got out of the house by myself for a couple of hours to reset.
Same. It's needed! But she doesn't give a fuck about anyone but her precious little self
I had a friend like this. She was a stay at home wife and sent me constant texts about her "hardships" and how "life wasn't fair" .. ie. "fack my life, my prescription isn't at the pharmacist yet and I have to wait" and I would be like "ummmmm okay". Some people can not handle much, their brains are not equipped. BP seems the same.
To go buy whatever they need or want from Costco, etc. for their Disney trip, graduation, and life. They don't have to worry about being on call, having to work a second job, and fit in errands that they don't know how they'll pay for. She's such a warrior!!
And they don't have to worry about meal planning and having a list and sticking to it because they have to stay in budget so they can eat the rest of the month. Errands are much easier when you don't have to think about how you are going to pay for things.
Definitely needed another pair of Mickey ears!
I don’t understand how many pairs of ears a family needs to have 🫣
This is what happens when the only things that feed your dopamine addiction are attention and shopping. She's a professional dopamine chaser.
She has all those custom made ears that Reitman’s sent her after the collab she has yet to even use
