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!

Princess Sarah went to a launch party for Ariana’s new lame podcast and managed to make her post all about her! She said women need to celebrate their achievements just as men celebrate touchdowns etc. You know she wants someone to throw her a “Yoire a real model now” party!
That has to be the most staged photo ever 😂 when I laugh with my friends we look like maniacs not perfectly posed!
It’s like “eating salads and laughing” memes 😂
Only if it is a trough of salad tho. 🙄
Love the throw back! Snarkers have long memories!
God I hate these stupid staged photos where they’re all laughing like maniacs at nothing
They’re all standing like flamingos. It must be exhausting being so fake.
I don’t think she’s going to have a lot of listeners
She’s just going to recycle anyone who’s already been on the Papaya Podcast.
I wonder which harrowing tales Sarah’s going to telll. They’ll probably recount their server days at The Keg and then about how incredibly wonderful they are as influencers and OMG! Can you even believe it!
Ariana will prepare some gluten free sourdough for the pod and then they will discuss the importance of being a 👙String Bikini Warrior👙
I’m Im sure we will learn her equivalent to the sex rock, too.
Man. Sarah’s outfit is something else.
And yupp “wide open faces”. 🙄
I spy with my little eye a try hard with a Papaya Reitmans skirt on.
That’s the PhD in psychology
I thought this was pretty funny because I’ve never once heard a man brag about a touchdown.
Right! What the hell was she referring to an episode of Married with Children when Al relives his high school football days. 😂
