The smug vibe she’s giving off lately is intolerable. She says ‘we’re’ but I do believe she’s alone. I detest it when she does that! Once again she’s treating it like it’s a big secret to drive engagement.

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’m drinking from a paper straw and this woman flies just to NYC to watch a movie and eat a bagel alone in her room.
Now onto LA, I can’t imagine the waste this will be.
Influencers who are flying everywhere all the time really don’t care about the environment at all. I mean, it’s obvious with overconsumption and fast fashion, and pushing brands on people left right and center, but when you find out they’re going to in person events all the time outside of their country back to back to back, then they don’t care about the world their kids grow up in. Let’s just wait to see if there’s any complaints from her about the extreme heat and hopefully someone can say like “stop freaking flying around all the time contributing to extreme pollution!”
Ugh!! I’m so glad we are talking about this. It’s a dire situation. To waste resources on something so profoundly pointless is disappointing. It’s a movie? She listened to a celebrity blubber about it? Was that really worthy of the wasted resources? Was there not enough shitfluencers in New York to attend this event? I think people need to become more aware of the impact celebrities have on the climate crisis and stop supporting their empire of bullshit. You can still enjoy the art when you separate it from the artist. You can still appreciate an artist and hold them accountable. Forcing us poor folks to drink out of paper straws so that the wealthy can continue to exploit our resources is fucked up.
EDIT. To watch a movie way far back. Miss Iconic was given row N. Bwaaaaaaaa. Loser.
She’s make me sick. She thinks she’s so famous jetting around like Taylor Swift.
Her carbon footprint is insane!
