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!

They’re playing PokĂ©mon Go - how fun for them! Is this how they’re going to occupy their time instead of interacting with their pre-schooler while they’re at the park?

She just posted that’s it’s become “her life”, she’s been back for one day, downloaded this game and now it’s her life jfc. She really does make every single thing her personality. She’ll forget about it in a matter of weeks just like everything else.

What a busy career gal she is.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Remember when she cos-played CEO Girl Boss with and office and a team. 😂 All Sarah has ever done is take her clothing off and take other peoples words and ideas. Now she's trying to force Shame on her followers. It Pokemon trainer Shame's new career?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I still can’t believe she had an office and a team, I can’t help but wonder what happened to the team? Did they all jump ship?? Remember when she even had a job posting, I feel like she never filled that (Shane took the part lol).

It might be both of their new careers when her Instagram keeps going down the drain 😂

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Remember when she blamed her plagiarism on her managing editor who graduated from McMaster University? Good times.

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

She’s the worst. And she never faced it head on like she said she would 🙄

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, I remember!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Crazy how she’s never addressed this! Or did we miss something?

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

Exactly! The team and her talking about the pressure of being responsible for the livelihood of all those families has just evaporated. Is there still a team? Did she ever hire that assistant last year? What’s going on? Has she replaced the team with Shane and Nana K? Keep the cash in the family?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The cash is staying in the family and there's not exactly a lot to do. The team was for show in Sarah's boss babe era.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The song and dance to attract the crowd.

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

I think she forgot about it tbh. The fact she made a post about it and said she was looking for someone and then legit never talked about it again. I don’t think we missed anything.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Meanwhile this app has been around for years! Lol

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

Yeah, here's Sarah jumping on a long gone trend. Such an influencer.

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

Right? I figured people were past PokĂ©mon go by now but nope not Sarah, it’s her life now 8 years late lol.

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

In my neighbourhood I walk past groups of people generally at the same time weekly that are having Pokemon Go meetups. I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it either. And the only way I know that is what it is, is because they are all on their phones in a largeish group talking about the characters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It has to be at least ten years old.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Next up she’s going to discover Geocaching.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I know nothing of this lady. But I was out for lunch the other day. And this blonde chick that looked similar to this lady. Would. Not. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Honestly. I me and my friend were so infatuated/disturbed we couldn’t focus on anything else.

She was going on and on about how someone was claiming she isn’t a good mother. Cause her son almost killed himself with a knife she apparently had out in the house. And apparently there are guns around also. And drugs. Oh and
..

It was fucking painful. I wanted to stand up and just shake the shit out of her till she “woke” up lol

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

She's such a busy woman....so much going on lol. Eeewww

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It will be because Nintendo will have a Pokémon game they want her to talk about. follow the $$$

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

Yup. She’s baiting for a sponsorship of some kind.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As someone who played it when my kid was younger, I will warn you that when you are friends with people on the app, you send gifts that you get from poke stops (like parks you visited). It basically announces to friends (or in her case to strangers) where you have been or where you frequent. She’s adding randos from the internet. This is so unsafe. Yes let’s announce the parks and stops we all make WITH KIDS to STRANGERS. This is so stupid. It’s a fun game, but like be smart about it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought that’s how it works! She has no sense of personal safety and I find it astounding that a mother of 4 doesn’t even try to keep her children safe.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My coworker messaged a friend of hers last year about the dangers of posting kids online and the friend said they should go after the people causing harm, not the people posting. She showed me the screenshots of the dms and that’s when I unfollowed them. It’s one thing to post a photo and then people be awful , and it’s another to announce where you’ll be, that you have more kids than adults to watch the kids, when your flight it, when you’re out of town. But she won’t speak up for Palestine and other things because allegedly people will doxx her? Even google maps and street maps shows people houses, backyards and DOORS and they don’t think a pink flower door can be found? Keep kids OFF public accounts until they are of age AND consent. Period.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She doesn’t speak up about anything because she doesn’t want to alienate any followers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Can she alienate bought bots though;)?

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

I saw a post 2-3 years ago about how easy it is to find someone based on their posts. Sarah has posted her unique front door, pics of her home, neighbors' homes, etc. It took me less than 5 minutes to find her home and address online, and I live far away in a different country. That is some scary shit when you think about the pervs out there. She has posted where her kid's rooms are, where they work, and their schedules. It terrifies me to think about, and they're not even my kids. She has to know. She just doesn't care. I can't understand that.
