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!

She’s very manic? She just babbles on like crazy. Like do people really care about her throwing a massive overblown party for her 4 year old? We all know NK has prob planned the whole thing and she’s told Sarah to go out and buy certain things bc she’s useless. Who even is this party for, does L even care at the end of the day? She just wants to show off for Instagram that she cares about her kid one day a year. Poor kid doesn’t even have any real friends to invite to this lavish themed party bc she’s not in daycare, preschool, any clubs. All this effort and the party will just be Sarah’s adult friends and their kids.
And why is she even nervous? L truly won’t care about all the little details. Is she nervous one of her influencer friends won’t like it? I don’t get it.
Also whose face is this? She’s so fake.
I cannot stand her fucking fake lips. Remember ladies, “love yourself”
Listening to her babble on about poor L’s party, like stfu. I’d be more nervous and embarrassed because poor L has NO FRIENDS! What an idiot
They make me sick tbh, she can’t lie that they’re not filled bc it’s so obvious.
I feel so bad for L, no little friends that she made on her own. Sometimes I feel Sarah doesn’t want L to spread her wings bc then she’d have to be friendly with other kids parents and they’ll see the real her.
Who cares her mother was an ECE? Blah blah blah. So worried about the party because she has to keep up with the likes of Jillian.
Her mother was not an ECE. She was an in home daycare provider to a couple of neighborhood kids. Please. And in the 80's/90's, no licensing requirements.
She LOVES to bring up that her mother was an ECE. I feel she tells people to justify why she’s so useless, like “oh my mother is just used to being so helpful with the kids so I let her!”
