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!

It’s two weeks until the official start of summer and the season isn’t long here in Ontario but the Pepto Palace still isn’t open for business. There was talk of a giveaway weekend but I haven’t heard anything since then! Wonder what’s up.

Buying followers is so pathetic. There is absolutely no reason to. All it does is show how fragile someone's ego is. I would love to see how much has been spent over the years on imaginary internet numbers. What a joke.

[–] Spicykitty@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

I know right. I am so damn curious about that too

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

I was thinking about this stupid cottage yesterday and she hasn’t mentioned it in like a couple weeks now. Hasn’t mentioned the giveaway, no updates. What a massive flop, love that for her.

Guess she’s too busy staring at herself in the mirror with her massive inflated ego to get the place ready to go.

[–] Amb2023@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 months ago

Too busy watching her SI walk on repeat day and night.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

After the big stock up on uncrustables and instant noodles at Costco the other day I thought for sure they would be going up there. Last I heard was a new hot tub and fixing the deck but that was supposed to be done by now.

[–] Amb2023@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They really eat like garbage. I haven’t seen a decent balanced meal ever from them

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

And they have TWO functioning kitchens. There couldn’t be two adults who deserve or need it less than those two dullards.

[–] okstranger@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

that is just their regular beige food diet.

Three days? So generous 🙄

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Is it mid-week?

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Why isn’t the contest on the cottage page?

[–] Blueeyes84@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

She's a busy boss babe, didn't you know? You can't expect her to think about her cottage when she's modeling for SI, thrifting every day and doing her career job too!

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I know but I thought she hired people to take care of the cottage and she just has to roll around in tne barrels of cash it brings in! This long delay really makes me think they screwed something up and she doesn’t want to disclose

[–] Blueeyes84@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Well, fingers crossed 😂

[–] Cheesecake@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’ll be back in Ontario in July. Maybe I’ll try to get a free stay 😂 just kidding, we all know the giveaway will be rigged.

[–] okstranger@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

Complete with a drop in visit for “content”.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not Shine management entering the contest 😂

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They have absolutely no shame

[–] Thefrogsbanana@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

That's not true. I can think of one Shame in birdie's circle! 😆

[–] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

🤣 I feel a Shine winner winner chicken dinner coming on!

[–] Halokitsch@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Give away was announced. You get 3 days between June 14-19. Which gives people plenty of time to plan a trip ( not ) Guess you’d need to be in the gta to even consider entering.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

That’s next week! FFS!

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

In case you didn’t hear her or see her stories from the entire weekend she spent there or see the TV Show or see the viral video the goofy neighbor made.

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Who is ‘we’? She’s insufferable

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

That’s her pretending Shame had any say in this business venture

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Hell No. I would have to wear a blindfold the entire time to keep myself from be nauseated by all the pink.

[–] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It’s supposed to be a rainy weekend. Enjoy your time in Flesherton, Birdie!

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Swamp Water Barbie comes with a pink and white gingham string bikini

[–] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

Can you just imagine that place with wet shoes coming in and out?
