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!

Engagement must be low, time to bring out a stretch mark post and talk about the SI runway again 🙄 she’s so predictable.
Spends more time on Insta than watching the Eagles game she is OBSESSED with.
She looks so dead behind the eyes when her filters aren’t on
Agreed! She claims this was the biggest moment of her life but she couldn’t look more void of emotion.
And looks nothing like she does on her filtered stories. Sad life
She's a crook.
I don't follow her or watch anything she posts except for on here or reddit. Seriously??? Another post on stretch marks and talking about SI??? Wooow. SI doesn't even talk about her ffs. LoL. How embarrassing
SI probably forgot she even walked their runway 😂 she’ll mention them and they’re probably thinking “who???”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if KNIX gets her in again.
Knix is under hot water for psas. Fuck knix
And none of the real models keep rehashing this event.
She's beyond washed up.
Have you noticed that Sarah always uses filters when interacting with her youngest? It seems like the child communicates with her through the screen, addressing the filtered version of her mother on the phone rather than in person. It’s an interesting dynamic, and I wonder how it might impact the child as she grows up. 🤔 I'm referencing this stories post.
This is such a good point. L is never looking right at Sarah, she’s always looking at the phone, much like how Sarah doesn’t even look at her real self. Such a sad life all around.
It's really sad, that poor kids brain.
This is why I wish that poor girl was at preschool this year. She NEEDS away from Sarah and even NK filming her. I can’t believe Shane is so spineless and didn’t put his foot down on L going to preschool this year to interact with other kids, get enrichment and be away from their home bubble. She deserves more than being filmed and going shopping every day.
I don’t have kids so I’m not familiar with any of this, but do other parents also not start their kids when they’re supposed to? I assume there would be various reasons for this to happen of course. But in L’s situation I feel like what she really needed was to start becoming immersed and making friends her own age
In Ontario kids start the year they turn 4. She could still do preschool or EarlyON programming though. It’s even free.
I don't think he cares and I don't think he has any say in anything. He strikes me as someone who would be quite content to wake n' bake and hang on the couch all day.
The cockiest face.
The smug is strong in this woman.
