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!

Holy shit she is soooooo insecure here, it’s hard to watch. Maybe she should’ve wore a dress she’s more comfortable in to be filmed and photographed?

[–] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit. At this point why even take the video? Feet 4 ft apart. Sucking it in, tugging and pulling on clothes. This actually is one of the only times I feel actually bad for her. How are you so financially successful, married with 4 beautiful children, almost 40 and still pulling at your clothes pretending to be confident? Just wear things that don't make you feel this way? I don't get it.

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

And to think she promotes body confidence and wants us to feel comfortable in our skin and our clothes and she’s doing this on camera? She couldn’t be less confident in herself and I’m meant to listen to her preaching about body confidence? She’s so terrible for the body confidence community.

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Yup sucking in so hard it’s coming out her neck.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would hate to be living in her skin. She's so insecure and uncomfortable. Yuck!

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She has posted 2 body shots 1st thing this morning.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Lmfao....filtered...so she can pretend her apron isn't there that was clear in her pics taken of her.

[–] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where’s that little button nose

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

She was so busy removing her fupa she forgot to strap her button nose on.

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Jawline? Where?

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

I felt so uncomfortable for her

[–] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Great capture 😂

[–] Selfabsorbedbarbie@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sucking in hard omg What is she doing exactly?

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

They were doing some handshake but clearly she was uncomfortable with someone else filming
