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!

That’s very odd. How would someone even find that unless they were looking for it? She took down Reddit. I’m hoping she got that taken down too. She definitely exploits the whole family. I can’t fucking stand her anymore. And I found Reddit the same way. You’d think if the xxx thing is true she’d yank the kids off the screen yesterday! That’s a weird story.

I still hate her tho. So there’s that.

It was the “Canadian nonsense” instagram account where they called out TBP and Alicia McCarvell. They were able to find the images easily because TBP loves to post herself near naked or naked and as a result is on adult sites. Because she posts pictures of her children next to images like this on her grid and stories, they were also on similar sites (if I’m remembering correctly). Furthermore, they found that she and other similar influencers used terminology that gave them more hits on said websites. I think she needs to either tone down the nudity and sexual innuendos or don’t post her children at all (preferably the latter as she shouldn’t be anyway).

Thx for the explanation

Innuendos and click bait put her kids at risk. The get quickies campaign will get noticed by certain sites. To get traction on adult sites, Sarah pays tabloids to run stories that she or her team write. The titles are titillating with sexual innuendo. Adult sites pick the features up. The tabloids and adult sites link to Sarah's instagram. She gains views from these outlets. Read the captions on these articles.

those ^^ lead to this

“Mom strips nude” is 🤢. I remember the Canadian nonsense account also saying that terms like “fupa” and “mom bod” get hits on adult websites. She knows what she’s doing!
