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!

Is she gonna say she hates you guys or something? Like wtf is this. This is her way of justifying that it’s okay to keep ditching her little one 4 times in the last week? And I’m sure another Disney trip is incoming 🙄
Always with the psychotic look
Another family trip?? Amazing. Remember back in August how she claimed it was going to be their last family trip because M was going to University?
It’s insufferable!!! She’s probably taking them to Paris so she can have her picture with the castle.
How many times do they need to go away? Her carbon footprint is becoming insane. She seems to think she needs to buy her families love instead of just spending time at home infront of the tree and just enjoying each others company. The only way she spends time with her kids if when it’s doing experiences and pulling them around for content.
She gets worse by the day. I wonder how many trips can be crammed into December? It is her bday month after all. That psychotic smile really looks like the face of someone struggling.
I’m pretty sure they have been invited on the media cruise for the new Disney cruise ship, the Disney Treasure. They were on the preview cruise for the wish and the media event for the newest ship is taking place in December so I betcha that is the family trip she is talking about
Now she has L FaceTiming with Goofy. Sorry you couldn’t come sweetie but look how great I am getting you on FaceTime with a character 🙄 and the fact she makes Shane film her doing this, no private moments here.
This is manipulation at its finest. It’s like teasing a child. What sicko would do that?!?! “Look at how much fun we are having without you, at a place you would love”
AGREED. She’s a terrible person. I just can’t imagine going to a Disney resort, meeting characters, seeing a Disney movie, all without your 3 year old who you’ve made love all of these things.
Yes! I wouldn’t do that trip without her but if for some reason I did, the 3 year old would never know where I was and what I did.
Poor kid is isolated from the world, left with Nana in no activities or preschool, and then is manipulated by her mom as Birds swings from neglectful to fawning over L and back to neglectful again. Birds’ mask is slipping big time these days, she has no one to mirror because no one behaves like this - so we are seeing the act all unravel.
Can see why she has to keep L isolated. Even 3 year olds at daycare would not understand why their friend’s mom went to a Disney Resort without her and would for sure say as much directly to L.
Sarah knows it’s slipping - that’s why she showed everyone in an underwear post that while primping and packing she took a min to play with her kid. It made me think of someone taking a moment for a game of fetch, she does the least.
She absolutely knows it's slipping and as much as she's saying that SO many good things are coming her way, it's the opposite. There's so much desperation in all of her posts these days because she knows people are uninterested in her anymore and they are starting to see through her - including her "friends" circles. Notice how there's a lot of new users here and on Reddit, knowing a LOT about her? It's no coincidence. They're all mean girls, even to eachother. Everybody is over S and her delusional family that supports her.
And every event she goes to know she has to thank her ‘followers’. Guilt tripping people to stick around and see her overconsumption.
She’s thanking them for being the gullible marks who click her links and fill their carts so she can line her pockets. What are those people left with at the end of the day? They have a bunch of crap they don’t need and/or can’t really afford but think it makes them closer to Birdie? I really don’t get it!
She’s so strategic and selfserving. She has been laying on the thank yous very thick. I hope people wise up.
So well said 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll never get over how isolated they have L, sure NK may provide an educational day for her but I think it’d be so nice for her to spread her wings with kids her own age. But like you said, she doesn’t want other parents and other kids fo see how neglectful she is when she’s never there to drop or pick her up.
At this point she’s a big sister feeling bad for little sis at home. I do not believe most moms would do this - it’s sickening!
That’s just cruel. Leave the kid alone at this point.
This was absolutely disgusting and so tasteless
That's exactly what she is trying to do. See? L is so happy for them! She doesn't have to feel guilty. Was L happy for her when she went to LA too? And NYC?
As if a little person can process all that? She just thinks it’s normal to be left behind.
Right? L doesn't have the capacity to be happy for an adult.
I’m not snarking on anything about L and her sweetness but you can see L acting like Sarah and Nana and probably the big kids at times. It’s masking or faking it - not sure what to call it, but none of them are real they just put on this cheery, happy, high pitched voice as if every moment is for instagram. Not the Disney adult stuff for me but I believe in being silly and that we all grow up a little too fast and that a personal aesthetic is better than chasing trends. Sarah will say people are making fun of her or saying she can’t be childlike but that’s not it, it’s that she’s selfishly going too far.
Somethings going on in that family - the joy isn’t real it’s curated and fake.
I keep thinking about L’s comment when S. woke her up when she got home. L. said she liked S’s nails. Other times L. has said that S. is pretty or her hair is nice, etc. Nothing wrong with that at all but it’s as though that’s the only thing she knows that will get attention from her mom, complimenting her… Everything seems to be just for clicks & likes. I’d love to see L. go to nursery school or similar type of thing. She’s a sweet little kid and I think she’d love being with kids her age.
The way the 18 year speaks and acts actually shocks me and that’s all I can say about that.
"Something is going on in that family" ✅
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t watch her “stories/lies” anymore. What was her reasoning for not taking Lemon with them? I am assuming a Disney event is kid friendly 🤔 They can take a trip together anywhere, anytime they want.
She didn't address it. I was also waiting to hear her "explanation". I don't see a reason why she couldn't have tagged along, even at her own expense if that's what it came down to. I assume she didn't want to be bothered with her.
She could have brought her chronically ill hard working nana on the trip to hang with L. Sunshine is good for everyone. Sarah only spends her money on herself. Sarah is always sitting on her ass - for those of us who have cared for preschoolers that’s not the gig.
I wonder if nana has to babysit the oh so important tamagotchi
That thing's long forgotten and is probably in a junk drawer.
Bingo. She couldn't take Nana beck and call with her and would absolutely implode if she had to do anything for her own kid beyond shopping or exploiting her on insta.
I bet she was allowed to bring her but Sarah just didn’t want to have to deal with her much like her excuse that she was “too little” for the NYC event. She wouldn’t be able to film videos about how much Shane loves her cellulite that she erases daily and how in love they are if she had to take care of L during it.
