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!

This is crazy. She is editing her body to look as small as a child here. Even if she has lost weight, this looks like she weights 100lbs.

It’s discouraging and gross how she so flagrantly lies, manipulates, edits, and has zero remorse. It's almost like she gets off on it. It's disturbing, and it’s getting worse and worse. Something is very, very off with her. I mean that. It's worrisome.

She has definitely gone rouge since SI and the Reddit shutdown. Now that 6,000 people are no longer holding her accountable and campaigning against her she is not even trying to hide the filtering. A Reddit repost of her posts would garner more actual comments than her original posts. We are few in numbers over here trying to keep the truth alive 😂 I do not even know if those lips are “swelling” from travel, aka injections or a filter. Yikes. What is she thinking. Who would pick that filter!!!

She's out of control. It irks me to think our reddit was shut down and when a journalist spoke up she was sent legal papers and received zero support from fellow media. Where's the real conversations now? All we hear from media and influencers is crickets. Pathetic.

Very off and very off with her husband who goes along with it. These people don't work any more. it's bizarre and creepy AF.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I agree. Since our Reddit group got shut down

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

I agree, something is very off! Much more noticeable lately.

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

She absolutely gets off on it. She's such a smug bitch. It's sick

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

I was shocked by this picture

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought the same. I rarely wear a bathing suit but this is how I would look and we’re not the same size. She is such a mindfuck.

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

Right?! I would expect more visible shape around her midriff which would absolutely be normal for most women, but it's looking very snatched. Is this a Spanx suit or something, because I am a size 4/6 and my waistline is not this fit-looking in a swimsuit.

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

I wouldn’t be shocked if she wears something under a bathing suit to appear slimmer. She’s the biggest fraud regardless, it pisses me off so much that she’s still getting away with this.

Those lips looking especially full today. Jesus.
