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!

Oh poor birdie couldn’t get out of bed after a concert to drive the kids to school. My fiancé and I go to a lot of concerts, get home late and my fiance is still up at 5am to go to work. She’s so fucking lazy. Her only responsibility and she can’t even get up to do it 🙄 also why not just use the Nespresso machine she had to have??

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

With all her lazy behaviours her manipulation of her family has to be her greatest trick. Why Shane or her mother would fall at her feet to serve her is beyond me. She has the “people” believing she is sacrificing it all to make the world a better place by showing her stretch marks. As if. She’s a carefully and strategically planned promotion to make money - it’s not authentic in any way. Influencers should be required to share daily health warnings like cigarette cartons. Woman’s mental health is a heath crisis - someone needs to step in!

All of this. It's disgraceful that she not only manipulates the other adults, but the children too. I feel certain this is a lifelong behaviour, and she really believes she is a special, hardworking little soldier.

My sister is like her. It's not that we DONT know she doesn't have it hard but it's easier for her husband and my parents to give in and pretend. Otherwise, it's a full blown production. I think her family knows it's an act but they go along with her because it's better than the alternative. I bet there's a lot of fighting and tantrums in that house. NK created that monster (likely by just giving in so they don't have to deal with her) and now Shame has to continue it because he might have not known what he got into until it was too late. Totally his karma though.

I really think the new partner has to pay close attention to how someone speaks about their previous relationships.

Toronto has an 11pm curfew. Leave the venue and on the road by 11:30pm. Home by 12:30pm with 401 traffic at night. That's easily still 7 hours sleep. Shut up. Can't get out of bed, but expects the kid who went with her, to go to school.....

Another example of how tone deaf and pathetic she is..
