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!

Bird isn’t talking about it because NK is having crash out meltdown depression about L going to school and not being able to watch her anymore 🫖
Ooooh this is spicy.
Funny you say it too because I feel she never posts about NK lately?
They are ALL mental manipulators. It runs in the genes. I honestly believe Shame would want her in school, but NK is probably guilting them into thinking they’d be taking her livelihood away or some effed up gaslighting sh*t. They’re constantly pulling this crap on eachother. This is why nobody ever calls bird out. They’re just as messed up in la la narcissist land.
👀
Oh gosh! Can you imagine - for this family this could be possible!
I do think L will go to school tho. I know bird doesn’t care about anyone but herself but in my experience in Ontario JK is optional but definitely frowned upon if you opt out for the child’s experience. I tried because my son was a November baby and he just seemed so little but the VA school helped me understand learning, social groups that begin right from day 1 etc. I however actually respect teachers and don’t use them to make Amazon link $$ so I consulted with the school instead of being arrogant. If L doesn’t go to school it will be for selfish reasons and not her wellbeing.
As to why she’s keeping it quiet?! Who knows. Her content is so dry she’s probably just saving it for lots of ❤️🔥. And we know she loves a reason to frozen face cry for the camera too!
In Ontario, children do not need to be legally registered for school until they are 6 years old. I know many people, during Covid, who kept their JK aged children in preschool (older kid room), as they had to confirm their enrollment for the fall even before schools told parents if they would even reopen. Preschools also had much safer restrictions at that time, than the schools did, so many parents just felt safer keeping their kids in preschool, as it is the same play based learning they were getting in JK. The children then went to school in SK as their first year and did not suffer socially or educationally. That being said, L has not been socialized in any "normal" way for a child her age and if they do not enroll her until she is 6, I'm sure the effects will be felt. I'm sure it will be apparent even if they do enroll her for JK. They are constantly doing this child a disservice for their convenience.
