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!

Just be for real 🤦🏻♀️ how does she keep repeating how looks is not everything when in reality it is fucking everything to her. To the point it’s a sickness. She just wants to be a skinny bitch more than anything. Whatever it takes, ozempic, editing the hell out of her pics, you name it she’s doing it for the sake of skinniness. The hypocrisy is driving me nuts. If she just was honest, I’d really have no prob with her specifically. Her faking it every single day for views and likes and followers, I just can not. Messing up with vulnerable women’s heads.
Wow this is fucked up. She looks like a size 4/6 here. I hate this woman and I hate that she gets away with deceiving her followers.
How does she have friends that actually go along with this?? It’s insane to me that nobody close to her seems to have a problem with it. It makes me wonder if we’re just insane and seeing things but I truly believe we’re right about everything and her “friends” and family just don’t seem to care because they’re all as awful as she is.
You said it! She only cares about what she looks like- her whole identity is connecting with people through her cartoon filtered face and her edited body. The rest of us aren’t over her posing and fake smiling with dead eyes at our besties. If we all sat around acting like influencers we’d get brought back to reality very quickly.
What a sad, empty, pathetic existence she lives. Shes so fucking vain and has NO actual friends. How sad.
She looks big here in my opinion
Also when this being real her the editing is obv 😬
And her face looks so pissed off in that photo. It’s so telling that she’s controlling her images and doesn’t want to be photographed by anyone else.
I haven’t been watching her stories for a while and this is on the smaller end of her different forms I’ve used to seeing. Maybe she has a new low then which I’m not aware of :D I think she’s definitely way smaller here than what in those Getty images she just posted too, so I’m automatically seeing this as one of those “edited to hell and back” ones
She's hit many lows lol. I just see through her poses and filters. The new Getty images shows she's a size 10-12 still.
Could be even 14. Only God knows for sure
She’s probably edited the Getty shots anyway.
