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!

The players aren’t bringing their families but NFL Canada hands out the freebies to the Influencers who don’t bother following what’s going on in the world, load them on a plane and off they go all decked out in their merch looking like tourists.
I feel like they are going to be sequestered in their rooms, and that sucks. I wouldn't wanna be in a brazilian city in a hotel room. I dont think the NFL Canada is going to unleash them into the wild, but who knows 🤷🏽♀️ they obviously don't do their research lol I wouldn't travel 10 hours just to sit in a hotel, go to a game and go home but I'm not in my yes era enough.
For someone who has never travelled outside of Canada and the US (besides Iceland) this was not a good choice for her. Even very experienced travellers avoid and/or take extra precautions when it comes to countries under travel warnings. I feel like this experience is just going to make her not want to travel outside her comfort zone even more which is too bad because she has the money to do some incredible travelling if she wants. This whole situation just highlights her ignorance, entitledness and sense of being untouchable.
Even when I visit family in my hometown in Mexico (pop 5.5 mill for the metro area), I am SUPER careful. There is a travel warning to the city, as it's not a resort town or one filled with many tourists. I am able to speak the language, so I avoid speaking English in most places. I'm pretty street smart and know the city well but still avoid taking ubers or flashing anything expensive. My phone stays in my forward facing anti theft bag. I walk with purpose and make no eye contact. I take all these precautions as someone who BLENDS into the local population. I can't even imagine how she is going to be out there.
Yeah - but we pay for our trips, and save, and plan. This is a freebie that makes her feel like a big deal and makes for great content. She won’t care if she doesn’t get to see any part of Brazil, I’m sure she didn’t really care anyway.
Very true!
Seriously, why do I have a feeling that is exactly what she is going to do, fly 10 hours to another country/continent to solely go from airport - hotel - football game - hotel - airport. And if she does actually explore the city I love the thought of what she will look like to people in the street with her phone out, or with her phone not out not knowing how to interreact and be immersed in the world.
Her phone is gonna get snatched out of her hand in 2.5 seconds. I don't even keep mine out in public transportation or keep it on the table while I eat. Snatch and grabs are waaaaay too easy.
Imagine the cry fest if that happened. It’d be like when her Instagram account got locked or whatever happened and it was the worst thing to ever happen to her
Manifesting this to happen
She said they aren’t going home until the weekend. How incredibly boring would that be? I can’t see Shane being able to offer any protection - lol! I can only imagine the clothes she packed for the trip!
They will be protected by the stench coming off his shorts. He travelled 10 hours in a plane with them let’s see how many more hours/days he used them
I was gonna post this pic too! She thinks she’s so funny and quirky, oh that silly birdspapaya. God I can’t stand her.
She’s gonna get such a reality check. Or maybe she won’t because she’s just so oblivious.
More proof it’s Sarah’s world and we’re all just living in it. She’s an Eagles fan so then everyone is an Eagles fan!
I bet there were 1-2 people with a shirt/hat with the Eagles logo on it or something. She was probably the only one on the plane in a matching Eagles sweat suit 💀
