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!

Her obsession with sexualizing papayas is really odd. Especially when her whole papaya name is from one of her daughter’s nicknames.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It’s pretty classless. She fits right in with the Get Quickies theme. Not sure who exactly their target audience is? Like their advertising seems to be very narrow and specific. It’s a bit much for young teens no?

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

Are quickies made from a safe plastic for this? Legit we are being told about toxic tampons and pads, forever chemicals in period panties…

fake nails aren’t historically made from something that should be “inside” the body. PSA : short cut, CLEAN, natural, unpainted nails won’t fall off “inside” anyone.;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

They’re probably toxic! Wouldn’t be surprised if they are coming from China 🤷‍♀️ and who knows what’s in the glue. Other than their overtly sexual tacky AD’s and juvenile nail designs I don’t know much about the product.

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

Right? Our family friend is an OBGYN, and she’s said that we should all be avoiding tampons (even period cups are not all made from safe materials) and that fake nails (even manicured painted ones) should not be inside people. SAFETY is so important. Not everyone can afford or has access to medical care if a nail gets “lost inside”. And it sucks because period products should be accessible and safe for all! And anything going on or in our bodies should be safe, but they aren’t always :(.

Ummmmm wtf. This is weird. Not surprised though considering Bailey put out that podcast where Birdie made the infamous consent comment.

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

I am assuming it’s a Canadian company because that hat is enough to make at least 50% of the US shudder. Red hats with white letters are synonymous with some stressy messy business…shudder…

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

This is SO strange. You can barely see the nails. They just have little flowers on them. Whoopdeedoo. As marketing goes it sucks. And her obsession with molesting tropical fruits is beyond weird.

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

I wonder if she even eats papaya, or she just buys them for the gram and then throws them away. Seems like something ol Uncrustables would do.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I doubt she eats them. Her favourite meal is noodles and butter. She has a very refined palate. 😆

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

Terrible marketing. I had no idea what this was for at first. The nails aren’t front and centre and barely noticeable.

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

What a weirdo.

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

What’s this about I don’t get it at all. Don’t know why am I dumb or what

Edit// I mean like what is she excited about, what does this pic mean?

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

It’s something to do with her get quickies collab

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

What exactly is sooo exciting? Lol

She has had a MAJOR breakthrough today!!!

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

And her teeny waist and no fupa. She's making a story about THERAPY while she filters and edits herself. She gets off on this. She needs real help.

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

Right! Looks tiny here.

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

Really not hard to prioritize if recovery/counselling is important to you.

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

Soooooooooooo hard, when you have a demanding career thrifting......like soooooooo hard guys

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

Those nails are hideous.
