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!

Girl, bye. Go to bed if sports hurt your feelings. Even when my team loses, it's fun AF. We trash talk and pretend we are analyists, lol. You have been a fan all of a year. Come at me when you have sat through 13 losing seasons. Tell my dad who's been waiting 39 years for a Super Bowl.
Uuuughh the Saints are probably the best team in the league right now, and they got the Eagles next. I will be at my local Saints bar cheering for them like I have for well over a decade. I can't wait lol
THIS! I’m there watching my (hockey) team win or lose. I love to trash talk and analyze! But she doesn’t know the sport to do these things. She just cries on Instagram wanting more sympathy over something she’s liked for half a season. She doesn’t know real sports fan pain.
I hope her feelings are hurt for the rest of the season 🤣
According to my fantasy team projections (😮💨) they will be lol then maybe her little pretend football obsession will be over
Super busy career day for birdie, driving 40 mins to go pick up her stupid goose. This woman never fails to get what she wants, it’s insane.
The grown toddler.
It’s giving toddlers and tiaras
We shall rename it - Tools and Tiaras
Why the spread legs though....kinda whoreish
Literally what was the point of this picture? She just posted her outfit a slide before, we didn’t need another one. Is it a “look how small I look” photo?
100% body checking. Also, what a hideous outfit lol. Is it just me or does her jewelry always look cheap?
🎯 trashy cheap but it goes with her dime a dozen online fast fashion clothes
Those pants are hideous and I’ve seen so many influencers shilling them.
And agree on the jewelry and she just throws on so much of it like what’s with all those chains?
Once Birdie sports them, it is a sign that they are on the way out. Fashion forward she is not.
Ugh, yes. I've seen so many influencers trying to sell me those. I saw them in the wild, and they were unflattering and looked SO cheap.
It’s very Major League Baseball player tacky bling.
Shilling some poor quality Amazon garbage
These pants are a piece of garbage but please click my link anyways!!!
The grossest pants. “I’m getting a lot of questions” i.e. here’s the affiliate link
That belt is for show. It's loose and hanging
I’ve always thought her jewelry looks cheap. She’d call it styling but she’s trying to look like money.
It looks tacky af!
She didn't look small in her ignoring grandpa's party photo
I would really like to know what she really looks like now. Are the pics from the Shine event the real her?
She’s slimmer, I believe that. She wants to be and she wants people to notice and comment. Like her recent belt wearing…it’s a “but guys, my pants won’t stay up anymore”. I don’t care what size she is but she sure does - there is not one ounce of body positivity in that woman.
