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 really feeling herself while alone on this trip, no care in the world for Birdie! Is she trying to pick up a Wall Street businessman or something? Like her being all “hehe I only packed mini skirts silly me” like??? You obviously packed mini skirts for a reason lol.

Also once again can’t think for herself “Renee was here last week doing things solo so here I am doing the same!”

Sarah really seems to be into Renee as her new BFF. I assume because like Sarah, Renee is very, very happy to leave her family behind. Lots of woman travel for work or take a trip just for themselves but we are not posting about it to make it appear aspirational. These Shine influencers working hard to breed envy to keep their followers living vicariously through them.

I was under the impression people dress nicely to broadway shows? And not like you’re attempting to pull off a Britney Spears costume .

Totally what it looks like

That hideous ass outfit. She's in NYC where people of all shapes, sizes, colors, orientations wear whatever the hell they want and don't give a shit. They walk with confidence and have actual fashion sense. She must be feeling stupid and needs to convince herself she can keep up. But she can't. She's a boring and basic 40 year old sheltered suburbanite who never bothered to learn about the world around her. The world keeps spinning and it's not spinning around for her. The whole feeling herself is a lie. She is just over compensating and she looks like a try hard. Like someone else said, the midlife crisis is hitting hard. Especially when you have no sense of self.

Exactly what came to mind! “Normalize doing things by yourself”

Thank goodness we have influencers telling us it’s okay to do things 🙄
