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!

I think it’s wild that she will digitally flaunt her stretch marks and size 14 body for posts like the SI runway, thighs sticking to the seat or any other videos where is posting her rinse and repeat faux body confidence videos but the rest of the time she is filtering herself to a size 4. Also I do recognize she filters those bp posts as well. How do her loyal followers not see this?

She’s quiet so far today, prob trying to figure out how to get out of this mess. I just know she’s gonna self diagnose something

I have just spent more time than I will disclose here analyzing the differences between my front camera face and back camera face.

Is there someone I can sue for damages??

Results: I still have jowls and my face is not thinner, pointier or sharper in any way. Front camera widens the middle of your face and makes the eyes slightly wider from temple to temple. I do not have a larger forehead, more eyelid space, a fuller mouth, or larger eyes.

If I actually spent this kind of time looking at my body in the same way, I’d probably be insane and unwell also. Social media is so unhealthy. I’m glad my kids are going into psychology….the generations ahead them will need them!

Nana has been sick with COVID which is why Birdie has had to take care of her own child the last couple weeks.

I have blocked her, but didn't see say she had 3 races "THIS MONTH"? She's been everywhere, but home. Has there been any mention of it, or was it just her mouth "running", as usual?

What is this performative clown going on about? And why is it so difficult just to use the word small?

She “reached out” to buy a necklace? Sounds more like she reached out to get a free or heavily discounted product.

Bragging in stories today about how she sponsors one kid a year to go to Disneyland. I looked it up and it’s 1,000.00. Now I get that can be a lot for some people but def not to someone like her, not to mention the tax credit she receives from donations.

Also the unintentional Disney paint colour…pretty sure Chippendale would refer to the male strippers not Disney 🤣 That being said there are (or were) actual Disney paint colours she could get.
