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!

This post of hers makes no sense. She posts on insta about photos not looking the same on insta as they do on her phone, by posting the two versions of the image on insta? What a dumbass. How did you post the version from your phone ON INSTA and have it be clearer than the blurry image supposedly representing how it looks ON INSTA?
She's such a moron it hurts.
She's trying to cover up for her filters. She's as dumb as Alicia Mccarvell.
I'd venture to say dumber.
Nah, Alicia wrote herself a hate comment and forgot to crop out the “posting” lmao. It’s all on her subreddit.
I mean, the two slides she showed are demonstrably visibly different. One got downscaled and jpeg encoded to hell and back and the other didn't. Why Instagram did this to a photo but not a video slide I can't say, but it did. Is she really a moron if she figured out it wouldn't do that to a video?
EDIT: Wait a minute, I'm an idiot! The second image doesn't have any JPEG artifacting at all! She must have manually lowered the resolution and boosted the exposure to make the image look washed out. No software on Instagram's end would've done that without being told to. My point stands, but why cast doubt on Instagram's image display?
So dumb 😭
This is her way of blaming her accused filter use on Instagram lol. She’s like putting it out there that Instagram is the one sabotaging her pictures and not her own work. All she does is gaslight her followers, she’s sick in the head.
“There’s gotta be something I’m doing” yes editing your pictures in other apps and using filters lol. She’s her own worst enemy.
There’s so much wrong with her post. The first thing that strikes me is - this is her job!!!! She’s not very good at it. The second thing is the next level gaslighting she’s using. The picture looks nothing like the Sarah in the story who looks very little like irl Sarah! The third thing is she’s thirsty for engagement
You would think if this was your actual career job you would use a single filter and consistently look the same, albeit filtered. I think you could file all of her filtered selves onto a 747 airplane and none of them would look like the actual Birdie. Maybe sisters or cousins but definitely not a twin in the bunch. 10A and 17 C would not be twinning.
PS- her hair is platinum and her brows are black. Bitch, you are not Christina Aguilera and it is not 2015! The brows need their own account at this point!
This post pisses me off. Totally gaslighting! And the dumb act …”gee Idanno why it’s doin that (eyelash batting) gosh golly I sure wish I knew why my pictures are acting funny.” The whole thing is a goddamn act and it’s disgusting.
I think this is where the “the call is coming from inside the home” applies.
