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!

Sucking in so hard she can’t breathe.

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Right? It is sadly obvious. If Sarah had of posted this photo this is what she normally edits out! Nothing wrong with her size and shape at all but she cuts herself down to another size. The lie she lives.

And, hi Sarah’s face! Do you hate your real so much or do you just love manipulating people for the thrill of it?!

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think she gets off on the lying. She likes that she gets away with it. It makes her and Shame feel powerful and superior. Little-man syndrome for him and Mean-makeover mommy for her. She's made herself more attractive through grifting and filters but her hateful, envious soul lives on. There are reasons why Sarah wasn't popular in High School and could only be successful when she filters and lives through a screen. Photo from July 2024. Mean Mommy.

I agree this whole grift is some kind of kink game the two of them play. I wonder if it’s been hard for her to maintain these influencer relationships she has since she hit so it looks like she has some friendships.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

What you have circled is exactly what I saw and was saying...she's a wide woman. She's not tiny and dainty like her sees herself through her filters. Every single candid photo of her proves this. She makes me ill. She's basically saying being wide isn't ok...

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right. I just can't get over how wide she really is. She's such a mind fuck with her filters

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I admit I enlarged the pic a number of times to figure out if that was all her or if there was something behind her since it looks so incredibly different from anything she posts.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ya, it's her actual REAL body behind her lol. Clear as day

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is and looks like the body riding the bike!

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She was banking on the fact that most of her followers were going to quickly scroll and not take a better look. She knows exactly what she is doing.

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Yep, and if you scroll quickly, the vertical seam of the dress makes her look much thinner if you don't notice the material behind it.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can’t wait to see what the M4M event produces

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She will wear the biggest, flowy dress ever!

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

And we will get nothing but dumb contorted faces.

[–] bellaportuguesexo@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Yes!!! This I just commented before reading the other posts!!!! This photo is a mind fuck

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lmao I was coming to post the same thing!!! Imagine being a body confident influencer and you can’t even take a photo without sucking in so hard bc you’re not actually confident? How about embracing your body which is what she loves to preach.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hahah they did her dirty. Sashas dress is gorgeous and Birdshit is a wrinkled mess. Look how wide she is. That blows me away. She's trying to use her arm to hide it but you can clearly see it. The sucking in isn't working...

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (5 children)
[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Everybody else looks so relaxed. She's so rigid, tense, and miserable looking.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

It’s a stark contrast and she’s the only one who has made sure she’s turned her body and has her tongue on the roof of her mouth trying to get the jawline in check. She just looks so uncomfortable compared to everyone else who are just there for a group shot. The others don’t alter themselves like Sarah so they aren’t worried about anything.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

If I didn’t hate her so much I’d feel sorry for her but I don’t because she created this mess

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Steam your clothing Sarah. No wonder she had to plagiarize that article.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (5 children)

No we don’t love a chameleon. Stunned fraudulent clown.

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

SO happy to see her takeaway from an overzealous, pampered, cult trip to France was the effin light switches..............something a toddler would say

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget those stairs! Most amazing stairs she has ever seen.

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

She says the stupidest crap. Just like writing a caption makes you a writer and walking a marathon makes you a runner now putting on pants and a shirts means you have “style”.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Her big take away from France is they have cool light switches?

[–] outdatedavianfruit@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Everyone is effortlessly cool bc they are comfortable in their own skin and not trying to filter and lie about themselves and present themselves as something they are not. Can’t be cool and walk a tightrope every day.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

More like a snake...

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

God this dress is so unflattering. What a wrinkled mess.

[–] bellaportuguesexo@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

She looks pathetic. She couldn’t steam her dress prior.

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

She is tragic!

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

It’s like the brand went to her instagram to get her vibe and style and to see what might suit her….but, but, it’s not her real body so of course it’s going to be a miss!

[–] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

She couldn't get a steamer to her room before putting this on? It looks like it's been balled up on the floor.

[–] spicychickensoup@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The sucking in… omg!!
