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!

It just makes no sense to me that her unemployed father can't take care of her. And that's with me giving Sarah the benefit of the doubt she is "busy". What's he doing? I kinda get it that Nana K is a ECE and she can give her enrichment but honestly it's not that hard to do for a 3 year old! They can figure it out.
My mom was a sped teacher and I had a speech delayed kid so sometimes my mom would help me out with lessons. I totally understand the privilege of having someone but the that just seems excessive and lazy, tbh
I agree. I’m sure both of them have enough free time in their days to watch her on and off. It can’t be that hard to read her books, teach her words and spelling, play educational games with her, take her outside to play, take her to the library etc. NK could even help from a distance and give them ideas of how to give her enrichment at home. It can’t be easy on NK having to care for a 3.5 year old every day with a chronic illness while L’s lazy ass parents do nothing at home all day.
Shane does NOTHING with her that we see and all Sarah does with her is take her to value village, simply wonderful and home sense so sarah can buy more garbage. Good lord how can they be so useless to their daughter.
He is unemployed now? Maybe they are following the Jilian Harris model where the husband can be unemployed and unencumbered with child care or cleaning.
A year or so ago we noticed on Linkdin that he was no longer with his company. This wasn’t long after she put out a job posting and we think at the end of the day Shane got the job lol
I’m starting to wonder if Nana K actually is an ECE or did she just run a home daycare for years so she’s just been awarded the credentials.
bingo
NK is certainly NOT an ECE. She has a high school education, just like Sarah and ran an in-home daycare for Sarah's entire childhood
Eeeek. I feel bamboozled.
There’s no way an actual ECE would be cool with how this poor kid spends her time.
