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!

The fact she’s now randomly in NYC? Must be nice to drop all responsibilities at home and jet off to NYC. The fact she just drops her kids like it’s no big deal and goes off for no reason.
You can also hear her say "I'm having so much fun being child free" while at the toystore. As if she isn't child free every day while her ailing mom watches her toddler. But she's in her yes era. She's saying yes to everything, except being a present mother.
I'm not just being a bitch. I have teenagers too and yeah, they want less to do with you. Yeah you can get away with more free time. I do have more time to go to a happy hour or the gym, but she has a toddler!!! How is she ok just seeing her a few hours a week then fucking off to NYC after all the other trips she's been taking?
I’d feel like shit if I saw my mom say “I’m having so much fun being child free”. Like my mom would NEVER feel that way, even in my 30’s she still misses spending as much time with me as she did when I still lived at home. Sarah will make all these posts about spending time with your kids while you can, or about how L is growing up so fast and she doesn’t know where the time went and she’ll have some insane toilet poetry when M goes off to university but she CHOOSES to be away from them anyways. She has missed over half of L’s life so far by dropping her off at NK’s every day, by saying yes to every single thing that comes her way, it’s insane yet she’ll still cry to get sympathy about how life moves so fast and spend time with your kids while you can 🙄
I wonder if Shane’s resentful yet
He’s probably happy when she’s away 🤣 1 less child to take care of.
Excellent point and he gets the tv to himself
😂 I can picture him. He gets the good spot on the couch, a tv show/movie he likes and orders in a lovely edible lasagna for dinner.
I bet he is but I also bet he’s happy when she goes so he doesn’t have to play her make believe life for a while. I still think he sabotaged that one video on purpose.
And she only has the big kids 50% of the time🙈🙈🙈🙈 and like you said Lemon is never home. What is she needing a break from!!! And yes it does feel like shit. I had a an actually professional mother who chose her career over family, took luxury vacations without us and spent the rest of her time with her husband. We were constantly shuttled between my grandparents, our father and school with brief stops at “home”. Where we longed to be but ended up feeling empty, shallow and needing when we were there ☹️ it was sad. We all wanted our mother’s attention very very deeply but it was hard to figure that out in real time when you don’t know any different. I’m in my late 40’s and I am still not quite right🙃 totally weird relationships with my “mother”.
I’m so sorry you went through that as a kid :( I can only imagine how hard that must’ve been to deal with. I can imagine that’s how it feels for Sarah’s kids, wanting attention and not knowing how to receive it unless they want to be on camera.
Thank you, It’s all good my kids and nephews had a magical childhood and are deeply loved. Gramie Zelle’s them money from 5 minutes away😂 I would love a reimbursement for my therapy🤣
I'm really sorry you were treated that way.
Thank you, I made a strong effort to not continue the cycle of neglect and gave my kids the most traditional magical upbringing a lonely little me could hope for. I had great friends with great parents and learned would childhood should look like.
🥹you are an amazing person and parent.
I’m not sure I am any kind of amazing person but yes I am a great parent. My childhood was a wild ride. I could probably write a book. A bi racial product of intellectual narcissists raised by wolves as a bizarre social science experiment in the early 80’s. I called them by their first names, my father was my mothers professor, only brown kid in all white private schools, drug addict step parent who was my sister’s piano teacher, bi sexual father diagnosed HIV positive in the early 90’s. I was put through it! On the plus side I am incredibly well read and educated, was exposed to art, culture and the theater, etc. But in all honesty just wanted to have a birthday party at McDonalds and parents that loved me like everyone else! Fortunately Birdies big kids father seems to be very grounded so they may turn out ok-ish. Well I really hi jacked this thread🫣 Just needed to vent all that out to some internet strangers 🤪Thanks you for the therapy sesh fellow snarkers.
Write the book ❤️🥰
I didn’t have my kids until later because I knew the yes times would be few and far between for those critical years. I don’t know why she chose to have another baby when her yes years were on tne horizon
She’s a movie critic 🎬. She’s going to try and lock eyes with Josh Hartnett perhaps
She really thinks she deserves to have things she’s never worked for. Wow she watched a hallmark movie, gave it some bells and now she thinks she should be in hallmark movies AND a movie critic. I’m so sick of her.
100% Her acting like she’s a celebrity on this red carpet is sickening.
God she thinks she’s so important yet nobody there knows who she even is. How was Renee even invited to this lol.
And those shoes 😵💫
I would love to know how people get picked for events. Are the shoe choices a distraction so people don’t notice her belly button isn’t taped 😏
No belly button tape and she isn’t sucking in! She wants to make sure you know lol. I hate when she says this shit to deflect from the fact she uses filters.
This caption is really something. Most people wouldn’t take the time to analyze her body that closely but she makes sure we’re all hyper aware of any sign that a body has lived a life. She’s not doing anything earth-shattering and ‘Brad’ doesn’t care! She’s the one who cares she doesn’t have a completely flat stomach and she she’s travelling with a woman who is just nauseous slender so she’s battling the envy gremlins.
For somebody who said her body is the least interesting thing about her, she's hyper fixated on ensuring every effin detail about her body is broadcast
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
her manipulation is off the charts
Yet her belly button was glitching 😂
and the photographers aren't that interested in Sarah. Notice the camera flashes aren't on her.
Seriously, they don't go with anything she's wearing or even the theme of the event - if anything she should have worn red shoes
Red shoes with that dress would’ve been the first correct pairing she’s ever done. So of course she didn’t do it haha
Just thinking back to the film classes I took in college and how much goes into actually watching a film. I am so blessed to live in a film city. So many film fests and film centers. Access to amazing catalogs. I love watching movies and never have I ever thought I was a serious journalist. Siskel and Ebert were serious journalists and critics I grew up watching. She can't even spell check and plagiarizes but sure girl. Go off with your little bells.
Just a small glimpse into her delusions of grandeur and the insane way her mind works. It must be exhausting to be her friend.
Her “friends” they all just seem like the type to use each other to get ahead. I wonder if she’s cramming herself into that too small dress she bought last week for the red carpet look.
