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!

And again…the other woman look like their everyday posts on their platforms. And then there is Sarah. Different size, different face.
Can someone help me understand how she is only able to edit herself but not the whole photo? I don’t edit my stuff at all and I’ve never looked into it and I’m so lost on this
That dress is an optical illusion. The darts/waist make it seem as if that’s her waist. Her arm covers the rest of her. The rest appears darker to make it seem like her body ends where the seams are. Her face is shorter/rounder her eyes are lower etc
I had a hard time seeing it at first glance, too! It took me a second. That's the reason she reshared it. If it was a full-blown exposure of her true self she wouldn't have. She knows what she's doing. There's another angle where her face is straight ahead and she sure as hell didn't share that one.
She's not edited here...look at her face...eyebrows are low, eyes small, the nose is bigger and longer, no pointed chin and her body is twice the size as she portrays
This picture mind fucks me…. At first glance it’s like holy shit she’s tiny and then you zoom in near elbow and she looks big. Maybe it’s the way the dress is I can’t tell 😂
She’s the only one who has angled herself to make her look smaller. Everyone else is standing with both hips toward the camera.
I couldn’t imagine filtering my body half the size then going out in public…
Me either! The craziest part of this pathology is she admitted to doing the exact same thing when she was first getting a following and was dropping weight so quickly. She has said, even at her smallest, she would edit herself and then be afraid to show herself in public. Did she share this so people will think she would never do it again? To make people think something is wrong with their eyes?
But she’s “not a statue” in her (probably stolen) words.
Nope. That's her real size. She couldn't edit out her actual wide self. She's a fraud!
Right!!! If I were here I'd dig myself a hole and hide in it. I would hate to be her!
I think the woman on the left looks pretty cool!
