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!

Unless B wears Uggs, is M really home again this weekend? It’s big homecoming weekend in Guelph, she should be having fun!! (Not suggesting in the rowdy way but just taking in the fun of the weekend!), not being out on another photo op with Sarah and lemon. I get if maybe she’s having a hard time adjusting or fitting in but idk all that fuss Sarah made just for her to be home every weekend is kinda nuts.
That's at least $450 (US) on top of her other nonstop spending. does she stop to consider how her followers may be struggling to afford food and rent/mortgage? She's so tone deaf
It’s ridiculous. Every day she’s showing off all the expensive shit they have that she doesn’t pay for or did pay for (rarely). It’s always feels like she’s rubbing it in everyone’s faces. Like does L really need those? She could’ve got her a knockoff pair from Amazon instead of an expensive pair she’ll grow out of soon. But Uggs probably sent them to her anyways.
You’re never going to find your people at uni if you’re always running home.
Homecoming weekend would be the perfect chance to try and find your place since everyone is out having fun one way or another. She’s missing out if she’s gone home to go apple picking and then probably the mall.
We all know apple picking is just a photo op. Is their new kitchen operational? Where are they going to put the apples?
They can rot on top of their new high end quartzite counter top.
Exactly. Like she legit posted 16 photos from a goddamn apple farm. M shouldn’t be coming home every weekend for this, she’s really going to miss out on so much at university. I can’t believe I thought her going to Uni would get her out from Sarah’s wing.
Its crazy to think her blind sheep don’t realize her ‘going away to uni’ is a stupid 10 minute drive.
The whole charade is idiotic.
Always a photoshoot
What was this an undisclosed UGG Ad??
They all look brand, spanking new!
Tell me why a toddler needs uggs? It's fucked up
My thoughts exactly
I don't know, M seems to have some anxiety and maybe she's having trouble finding friends. I know for many, this homecoming weekend thing would be super fun and a way to go out and meet people, but for someone who is an anxious introvert, it would be a nightmare. She might get her groove soon, she might not. Dorm living isn't for everyone.
Oh I do agree, I am a mega introvert and anxious so I do understand. I guess it’s all because of Sarah’s dramatics over M leaving just to see her home every weekend is annoying. Plus the high need for student housing, i think M should’ve just continued living at her two parents houses.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Sarah encouraged her to go for content even if she didn’t want to with the promise she could come home every weekend.
I think this is the exactly what’s going on.
That is a very good possibility
If she is, I wonder why? Sarcasm because spoiled entitled mom teaches her kids.
So when is she at her dad’s during the week?
I always wonder that too. She comes home to Sarah on the weekends but what about her dad?
