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!

I feel like she looks so distorted here? Why is she always taking up sidewalks to take pics and film videos bc the next story is her filming L in the middle of the sidewalk and you can tell people are walking by. People like her are so obnoxious.
Also you end up at the mall every weekend bc it’s what YOU want to do and you just blame your kids. You have all the fun going on trips and then just drag your kids to the mall instead of doing anything worthwhile.
ETA: sorry I forgot to blur out L
I am assuming y’all have children’s libraries, science centers, nature centers, museums, cultural centers, trampoline parks and what not’s in Canada. Or hell even a regular old fashioned park with a swing and a slide and other children. Does she live in a rural area or something? Why not a weekly trip to the library and the farmers market or something? ANYTHING more engaging than the same mall, home decor and toy store they visit every. single. week.
Unfortunately for L, she’ll only get to do these things if NK takes her to them. For some reason Sarah sees no benefit in giving her daughter a life of learning and playing with other kids and just being a kid in general. Big whoop she takes her to the toy store to Ooooh and ahhhh over toys, she can do that at home with the million things she already has! There is so much more out there for her but Sarah doesn’t care because Sarah only cares about herself and what’s out there for her, poor kid.
I don’t understand why S. hasn’t put L. into nursery school. I’m a teacher and I really think L. would love being with other children her own age. It would also help with further development of language skills, etc. Just my opinion.
Because she doesn’t want L bringing home germs that she is going to pass onto Bird and interfere with all her traveling.
I wonder if she will home school L.
I agree what you. L seems like such a joyous and fun little girl, I’m sure she would love being with kids her age instead of just sharing her joy with Sarah’s Instagram. She deserves so much better in life.
My thoughts are its too much exposure for the real S to put L in school. Drop her off and NK and S doesn't have to interact with people/other moms and she gets to continue to hide not only her real image but also personality.
Wow filtering herself to look like a size 2 here 🤯 I’m a size 4/6 and look bigger than this in pictures
Her head is bigger than her torso interesting flex today
She is the epitome of a teenage mall rat. Somehow seems arrested at a stage of life that we all got over.
Could’ve saved today’s trip to the mall and at least go tomorrow, when they have a Halloween event that her kid actually might enjoy, instead of being just dragged around the mall endlessly for no reason. Or, will it be a double mall trip this weekend? The thrilling life of a nontent creator…
She could’ve taken L downtown for the trick or treat event at all of the stores but that doesn’t benefit Sarah so what’s the point 🙄
I think that’s NanaK’s job!
Also too many people that might get a candid shot of her.
Nope, the Eagles are playing tomorrow and that current obsession trumps any child’s interests.
The thigh gap is coming back I see. For a split sec we debated going to the mall today and then I remembered it’s absolutely shit. It’s so boring there.
Girl has never had a thigh gap. I don't know why she is so in denial and hell bent on pretending she has one. Give it up lol
