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!

Tomorrow is actually first day of school in Guelph, there’s a PA day today. So she’s actually leaving the DAY her kids go back to school. She sucks, everything is about her, she doesn’t care about anyone else. And it’s B’s first day of high school which can be nerve wracking and he won’t even have his mom, I hope they’re with their dad for back to school.

RUN to r/ariannachristiesnark someone found Shame's reddit.

[–] Omgitsme@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to say I’m blown away by those horrible comments, but I’m honestly not surprised in the least that he would speak that way. They both give me such disgusting vibes.

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't look at any more. He commented on a video that showed a woman getting sexually assaulted. he said it's alright. I'm sick of these two not being held accountable for anything.

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

THAT needs to go viral.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He’s a bigger douche bag than I originally thought!

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago

My jaw's on the floor. The racist stuff. Animal torture pXrn. 😵‍💫

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just saw! This is amazing sleuthing. Ready for them to be cancelled together!

The hero over on Reddit coming to Birdie’s/Shane’s defense is very “Jen”

[–] Theturdsonfiah@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Just here to say I finally made a lemmy account to join in on this group, I wasn’t going to but since Shane showed up to Reddit all puffy chested threatening to have that sub shut down too , I had no other choice 😇 she can play her game of whack-a-mole all she wants, I am more than happy to take my findings about her to other places to keep the conversation going. The harder they go on silencing fair criticism the harder I’ll go on sharing it. Fuck around and find out.

Love the username 🤣

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s giving very Shane to me 😂

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No one thinks The informal boss account could be Alicia?

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It’s definitely the same clown behind the “Jen” account. I personally have a hard time believing it’s actually Shane 🤷‍♀️ I have an easier time believing it’s her.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Yea I may have been swayed to her. The more I think about it idk if Shane would go to that effort

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s my guess too especially with all the condescending terms of endearment

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“Collective Brain Power” and the favorite “Sweaty”

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My other fave is “some context” with screenshots of the thread. Would love to see the “context” where they think a woman being SA is “alright”, comments about black people and quoting Hitler is ok….

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Did Shame strike it rich with bitcoin and that’s why he left his job?

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was wondering if either one of these Tools even liked the Beatles after they posted this… Now I know.

I’ve realized he as stunted as Birdie.
