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!

An organization she uses to get another Disney trip in basically. She was just in France now she’s off to do this tomorrow 🙄

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Why doesn't this organization take someone who the kids will know? There are dozens of kid-friendly YouTube stars in Canada. Or the Raptors mascot? Instead, it's "look, the naked mom is here."

Alicia is going and she doesn’t even like kids . All these 2 clowns care about is getting to Disney

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sadly, the organization is hoping to find donors - the kids that go on dreams take flight wouldn’t come from support systems who can become supporters of the org. Sadly, I don’t think Sarah’s fake followers have ever demonstrated supporting causes.

[–] 1hotpoetaytoe@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Plus when she does these “charity”(grift,cough) engagements she rarely says why is she there supporting XYZ in the hopes of LMNOP. And would invite the community to help support XYZ by doing ABC. It’s usually somehow just about her being invited somewhere for undisclosed reasons wearing something hideous and inappropriate.

Imagine when L realizes she was born as a content baby and was raised by her grandmother because her birther couldn't give a sh*t about anybody, but herself. At this point. NK should just have legal custody of her and stop with the mind games for this little girl

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed! Her mother is never around and when she is at home she just drops her at NK’s anyways. Sarah just uses L every so often to make it look like she’s a great mother and they have so much fun together.

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

She did this with her older kids, while she was claiming to be a "struggling single mother". He ex had them most of the time because she decided she didn't want to be a mother anymore and deserved to live her life now. When she did have them, she would take them to viral bake shops, or ice cream places, fill them with treats, take a million fun photos and after a couple of hours, drop them to NK anyways. Then, throughout the week, she would post pics of them like she was the single mom all week...but people fell for her scam and failed to notice the kids we wearing the exact same outfits in every pic she would post....she's always been a fraud

[–] facialSwelling@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

When her kids finally spill, it will be interesting. Sarah has never faced any hardship.

[–] Whaaambulence@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Do we ever think this will happen? We all thought M was finally escaping, only to find out she's home more often than not, further proving that S probably has a strong mental hold over those kids. Wouldn't shock me if she made her own kids sign a NDA

[–] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago

They’ve learned how to lie and manipulate from their mother so, no I don’t think it will happen. Unless Bird decides it will be a money maker for her pod and has them as a guest. Of course it will be edited and scripted so.

[–] BirdsaLiar@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

I’m hoping the ex will finally speak one day. Or someone in his family perhaps

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

That’s crazy. Makes me glad I didn’t follow her back, what a lying liar. She’s been getting away with everything for too long now.

[–] Poofluencers@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Thought it was interesting that Avery, the one who throws the hoe-lidays party and invites business partners to said party and teaches organizations about creating safe work places, posted in support of content kids being protected yesterday. They all all talk out of their asses!
