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!

Poor bird! The competition is strong out there. This model is just 2 years younger than Bird, gave birth and shows her stretch marks….shes an official SI model. She doesn’t pay to go to parties or have her friends buy her a runway spot. I bet legend in her own mind believes Lauren and Denise get to show their real bodies because she paved the way.
Birdshit got this one pic and then Denise did her own thing all night lol. Look how uncomfortable Birdshit looks ....desperate to be apart of something that doesn't want her. Look at Denise body...she's thick and doesn't try to starve herself to look sickly in pics. She an actual body positive woman AND getting the jobs and inclusion. Birdshits weight loss is ruining her career. People want true beauty. Thick, full, beautiful. Not sagging, skinny and filtered.
I’m shocked 50 hasn’t posted a pic of Bird and himself on his IG yet 😏
I’m sure she does believe she’s the trailblazer. She never recognizes that this is a career for these women and they learned how to be successful models instead of just saying they’re models! Lauren has been in the business since she was in university
She's also with a top modelling agency. Birdiw didn't even take a Barbizon course at the mall. She said she didn't even practice for her SI stomp down the runway. We noticed bird. Like every thing else she thinks she can just assume a career with zero effort.
I wonder if it’s a - if I don’t really try then I didn’t really fail - mentality. She gets all kinds of opportunities handed to her and she says they are life goals but then never pursues it any further. It’s like when she got the shot at BT host and completely fucked the dog with the outfit, not having a clue about world events, the fidgeting in the chair, it’s like she puts up her own roadblocks.
Omg the chair swirling 🤦🏻♀️
The stomp 🤣🤣
Birdshit could be her mother
Birdie thinking she’s one of these people is so embarrassing. And this makeup makes her look soooooo old which she typically tries to avoid.
She looks like an aunt or chaperone.
What is all this weird ass hanging all over what’s probably strangers. Like drunk girl bathroom pictures.
