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!

Just watched it and it sounds made up and she would have told this story over and over by now if it was true.
How about the story before that one about seeing women on the street. I screamed outloud when she said the one wasn’t dressed for a boy - this is how she thinks. She dresses for the male gaze all the time and she said it out loud! And then she said the outfit was for her - Sarah - has she ever thought, just once, people dress to please themselves. They choose outfits they like, that are comfortable and make them feel good. We don’t choose clothes thinking about people looking at us. That’s what Sarah does.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I dress for the occasion, I dress for myself, I dress for comfort or purpose. I love fashion and dressing up but never have I done it for a man or other women. That's not the point of loving fashion. She just told on herself in the LOUDEST way. She dresses for attention and that's it. Maybe that's why her outfits always suck. They don't have love or self expression behind them. It's just "how can I be the hottest in the room and get all eyes on me?"
It explains so many of her hideous choices! The birthday outfit was a standout
If you wear something like she did on her birthday, you have to have the confidence to pull it off. The personality for you to wear the outfit. Her outfits wear her, so they come off even worse. She was hiding and cowering into herself. If you are going to act that way, why even bother?!
Yupp 100% made up and then she follows up “this girl is actually a teacher at M’s school and I asked her about it once but she didn’t remember” of course she didn’t because it’s all made up lol.
I had to go back and listen again because I spaced out the first time and omg you’re so right!!! She’s like soooo marveled that someone is out there just dressing for themselves and not for attention. I’ve legit never dressed thinking of other people, only myself and what’s comfy. Everything she wears she plans it in her mind of how it’ll appeal to other people, she never looks comfy in what she wears so clearly it’s never for herself and only for attention. Can’t wait to see the attention grabbing Beetlejuice outfit.
Can you even imagine living your life like that? She’s always thinking about people looking at her and judging her. It’s really not a healthy way to live. I’m like you - I dress for myself and really don’t think about what others might think.
