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!

How many times has this liar claimed that “numbers aren’t important” to her? I’m willing to bet she’s consumed by them every minute of everyday.
Most viewed because she keeps watching it over and over
She’s watching it over and over and saying it’s L who wants to see it. I can only imagine the other kind of person who may be watching it on repeat after putting it on their TBP highlight reel and it gives me the creeps - the skin crawling kind
I HATE that her walking video is being treated like the ultimate goal for her child, showing her over and over. It’s so sad and pathetic and blood boiling. Teach your child she is more than her looks.
This caption made me very angry. She’s framing wearing a bikini and being a swimsuit model as ultimate goals for her daughters. I’m not throwing any shade at real swimsuit models - it’s not an easy job - but it doesn’t seem like she places much value on education or learning about the world. The only class she ever highlights the middle one taking is cosmetology.
She’s raising nobody. Her older kids are mostly with their dad and her youngest is shipped off to nanny daycare. When they are home, she’s off galavanting at events. Literally everything out of her mouth is a lie.
You’re right and when she does have the kids she just takes them to the mall
She is the queen of preaching “your body is not the most interesting thing about you” and yet it is literally the only thing she talks about and takes value from. What a terrible message to pass on to your daughters. We are ALL more than our appearances. You learn that as you age and have more wisdom to share, but clearly, SNL isn’t getting wiser. She’s just getting older.
When you're popping out kids at 20yo, you're probably not on a path toward long-term economic success. For fuck sake, your brain is still developing.
Especially when’s she preached for how many years now about how damaging magazines like sports illustrated 🤦♀️
The magazine was damaging but it was her lifetime goal to grace its pages and not, I suspect, to promote inclusivity since she dropped 100 lbs and loved putting on her bikini or skimpy workout wear for the covers of other magazines
That is such a good point!!
100% correct. Lol
You know she’s consumed with the numbers and she’s getting that dopamine hit
It’s giving…
She fucking looooooves her bought SI spot. 👙
The slimification of her edited legs is undeniable.
Oh yeah, her left knee and ankle are all fucked up. Her right knee is also kinda janked. I don't know anything about this other than it appears to be two shots of the same person with one stylized (lies) and the other showing reality. Is this a model who is routinely shopped like Kim Karshithead?
She's not a model although she likes to think she is. This was a bought walk from a company that sponsored the show and enables her. She is a mom from Guelph with a massive following for being "real" about her body. It's ridiculous.
This side by side shows just how much she alters her image. They are taken from the same angle but show two, completely different bodies. I really don’t understand how people don’t see it.
I know the consensus before was that Getty Images probably wouldn't bother photoshopping any non-celebrity face, but I can't get over how ridiculous her nose looks in the right-hand picture. I just don't fully believe that can be true. I mean, are these nostrils for ants?! 😅
So weird. I think I’d be pissed if Getty changed my nose! Adjusting brightness or tone of hair maybe but nose? That’s real shady.
I felt so stupid for pointing this same thing out last weekend lol. People were like why would they care to Photoshop some suburban mom from Guelph. I mean, it's an excellent question. Why does everyone who protects her care to?!
I really don’t like it when people aren’t kind to you - you should never feel stupid because you aren’t. You have wonderful critical thinking skills and have to remember that when you doubt yourself. I hope this doesn’t sound preachy.
It doesn't, I appreciate this (and you) - thank you!!
Any time!
They might have just been trying to make her look more like the other models and failed.
It looks like she’s wearing invisible nose plugs
The one on the left reminds me of looking into one of those wonky funhouse mirrors. Her legs don’t even look real
And if I you zoom in you can see glitches and a white edge line down the right side of her leg
I still don’t know what this is about but the girl on right is thick af and I’m loving it
Lol yup! And there’s nothing wrong with her body, it’s just shitty that she edits herself to look like the photo on the left all the time, all while preaching body positivity. If she truly accepted herself, she would just show up on her Instagram as the person on the right all the time, or own up to the fact that she filters her photos, and gets lip fillers, and other procedures done.
LOL THATS THE SAME PERSON?
Yup - the left is what she (The Birds Papaya) shares on her IG, the right was taken by a professional photographer. These pictures are from the same day. She claims to be a "body positive" influencer. Perhaps now you can understand a bit better why she has a community of "haters" 🤪
Yeah I suddenly understand what this community is about lol
And it was the same day!!
Girl on tne right doesn’t share your enthusiasm
