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!

How are her followers not sick of seeing her go on like her 10th gifted trip this year? How are people okay with this nonsense while most people can’t afford to go on any trips? And she gets to bring her whole family plus the parents!! This is her what 5th trip in the last month? It’s ridiculous that people are okay with watching this and support it.
Like yes let’s be excited seeing someone who can afford their own trips get handed another trip right after showing off their massive home renovation! Yay for her!!
When people are not even being able to afford Christmas this year and she does this shit. She’s the grossest person ever.
The sad reality is that influencer marketing works. There is a reason why “keeping up with Jones” is a saying. People will over extend their finances to go on this Disney trip to try to get a taste of what they see portrayed online by the likes of Sarah. For the followers who haven’t seen through her ugliness they see a survivor - an ED, body issues, perinatal depression, PMDD, breast cancer scare - and if Sarah can do all this and thrive they just need to figure out how to get a piece of it. There is no way an influencer like Sarah and her agency aren’t dialed into this formula and know they are getting richer off of others hurts, fears and sadness.
I honestly think it’s weird that Disney thinks it needs influencers! As far as the cruise goes absolutely no one can convince me to shell out what it costs to do a Disney cruise.
And she acts like she’s doing this trip for her followers 😂 “any questions you have I will ask and learn for you!” Wow great, nobody can afford it in this economy you bozo. This trip is for you and you alone, you don’t care about learning lol.
lol “Can you share any financial tips to saving for a family disney trip?”
She's literally going on the most expensive cruise at the most expensive time of year. You could take your whole family on a European vacation for 2 weeks for less. But why would she want to have any worldly experiences, when you can just go to Epcot 🙄 She acts like her life is so exciting, but actually, it's so vanilla.
Yep! Would love to know the final tally of what it will have cost the entire family for this entire trip. Probably could have flown them all to the South Pacific
It will be well upward of $20,000 US (and that's if they are gifted the less expensive rooms). The least expensive option is $2000+ per person, per night. Only L qualifies as a child. That's 7 adults at this price for 3 nights (before food, drink etc.)
