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!

Sarah’s crying at Disney again and being comforted by the teenagers wearing unbearably hot costumes. I don’t think much goes on in her brain but she seems to really believe they are magical. Just an FYI - they aren’t and most of them hate their job.

This isn’t ✨unique✨ like she thinks it is. Characters/costumers are trained to do this. Also crying over little L meeting a character?? BE FRRR it’s not her first time and it definitely won’t be the last.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Her whole life is just a big performance and she’s the main character

She looks so botched/insane here. Like that one viral photo Kim Kardashian wanted wiped from the internet.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Wow look at that lip filler!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

So cringe. In her stupid ears.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

What in the filter fuck!?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She looks like her regular size 14 here. Belly and all. Also, there is a 16 yr old kid in that costume....or worse lol

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I had the same thought about her size. She messes with our heads so much it’s good to get an occasional shot showing us how she really looks

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I thought so too. Doesn’t look like the girl she’s been presenting in her Disney outfits for the day looking skinny mini.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I can’t even imagine crying over getting to hug someone in a costume, it’s like essentially one of her older daughters in their just doing their jobs in hot weather for hours on end. She needs of get a grip and grow up a little bit. Minnie Mouse isn’t a real person!!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

like what do you mean your crying over a character hugging you…cringe

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks like she's been using way too much purple shampoo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the shampoo tip Sarah took from the melted ice cream cone ladies... that's what Sarah calls women over 60, melted ice cream cones. What a loser she is.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait I missed this. She called people over 60 melted ice cream cones? Please tell me this is not true- I already dislike her but body shaming people over 60 is another huge red flag. Isn’t her mom who keeps HER child engaged and entertained all day over 60? Does she know what a privilege it is to still be alive over 60 and for people her age to still have their parents? Please let me know what she actually said. I am so furious right now hearing this is something she said.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

She's said this on multiple occasions, I'll did the podcasts up. She's vile.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Isn't she supposed to have kids to take to Disney Land?
