She's giving midlife crisis Barbie 🙄

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!

A tube top for an amusement park? Tell me you don't actually ride the rides without telling me.. gonna be pulling that damn thing up all.day.long!
What stands out to me is another example of how Sarah has to have all the attention. She's not a girl’s girl. She likely sees her own offspring as competetion -based on her past actions during their big days- and that's sad
Attention wh0re every single day. Gotta push out those affiliates even while on ‘vacation’. She’s an asshole.
I don’t care about her nipples or even that she’s into Disney. But she absolutely looks ridiculous.
best comment
If I were 18, 16 or 14 I would not claim this as my mother and be walking either very far behind or way ahead of her. Come to think of it when I was that age the kids went off on their own and the parents would do whatever they wanted and meet up for meals
Whose legs are those …
no hers
Goodness this pisses me off
She also gave herself an ass in the middle picture lol.
Right. This is absolutely insane
how appropriate nipples popping right out
OMG , core memory unlocked when at 15 in 1991 my mom wore a similar tube top while we were at Disney. Nips on full display and we have pics to prove it. Thing is those pics are in a family album and not on social media. My eyes still sting when they land on that Pic of mom.
With those wrinkles and that flimsy fabric, it looks like she’s wearing a crumpled up old Kleenex for the day. Gross. Cheap. Weird.
I’m sure she just took it out of the Amazon packaging this morning
Some ppl need to learn that Disney as an adult is the most tacky thing you can do other than have a gold toilet. It's not cute. It's borderline pathetic, really.
Nipple check for fun park play. 🥴
This is like that babydoll dress from last year at Disney all over again. She’s out there looking like a full blown adult toddler
I think it appeals to a specific target demographic 😜
Oh 100%!
The kind that want to be infantilized? I
As you all know from my replies to posts I’m here to call out influencers for their disregard of genocide and rights of people all over the world.
I love these types of tops (I wear as tops not dresses) and although some will be upset at the nip showing, nipples are not sexual organs and bras are awfully uncomfortable for a lot of people (post top surgeries, mastectomies, breastfeeding bodies etc). All bodies are actually awesome (and I’m not in social media accounts lying about it to exploit people for it though). Some people wear modest clothing, and others don’t but it doesn’t give or take away their value. What does take away their value us buying fast fashion, flying everywhere, supporting genocidal brands and bragging about it. So although I don’t hate this outfit, I hate that she still remains silent about things she should speak up about like genocide, slavery, exploiting workers in sweatshops, LGBTQIA2S rights etc. I remember one of her friends coming out and saying something like well “If she speaks up about stuff, people will doxx her” but she’s literally telling 2 million people where her whole family is).
I completely respect your point of view.
Thanks Moonchild:).
🤦🏻♀️
She’s a person who says old people’s bodies look like melting ice cream cones and she thinks consent is annoying. I think it’s fair game to claim she should dress “normal” at Disney.
You know, on second thought, I'm going to unwhoosh your comment. I see now that the joke was likely not lost on you, but you were merely commenting on the fact that her appearance is dreadful enough that playing the whatabout game is no excuse. And I agree with this.
Appreciate you coming back to say this. Your joke definitely didn’t go over my head at all.
No problem. The world is better when we are willing and able to call out our own faults as often as we call out others'. I apologize for discrediting your comprehension.
Apologies if I came across a certain way. This woman just grinds my gears lol.
Not at all; I came barging in off the street plastering photos of myself in too-small women's clothing and hurling accusations around like a chimp, so the apologies are all mine.
This makes me love this place so much more than Reddit.
HEY, THIS GUY BOMBED THE BOSTON MARATHON
Pics or it didn't happen 😂
Ok, I lied :-( This is the closest I've gotten 🤣
Still a lot cooler than grifter Barbie here 😁
grifter Barbie
Ah, the infamous Pinterest copypasta
(Disappointed click) Was hoping for some grey sweatpant action.
I was waiting for the "Feel good" to drop.
lol!
