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 funny that the woman with 100 different faces and shapes and sizes is at an event with Jennifer & Reese. Two woman who despite their images being captured by everything from the most expensive camera equipment to cell phone selfies always look like themselves. Bird is so far out of their league she’s disappearing.
Imagine being in the room with accomplished actors and thinking you’re on that same level?!? And high as a kite because you’re in the same room?? Not sure about anyone else but no one…and I mean no one I know cares about actors this way. This isn’t the 1950’s and Elvis walks in. Celebrity is so accessible these days that it’s just a profession. It’s not as COOOOO-WWWL as she goes on about. What isn’t cool is being away from your little girl on her first week of school to watch a film and have your picture taken. The way she stands up at the step and repeat like she’s a star is crazy business. Delulu babe! Serious question: What is your take away from this? The experience? What did you give away for this experience? Was it worth it?
So well said!!!
And what did she take away from it? Something for the memory bank because that’s so important 🤡 I’d rather have the memories of my kid experiencing her first week of school, not a faraway encounter with celebrities.
The only memories 🍋 will have of her childhood will be how absent her mother was for a majority of it.
I had to add after looking at other pages. One pic is Reese on her page saying it was a nice evening, nothing on Jennifer’s, John Hamm says he hates social media, nothing on Page Six or Apple TV. This is part of their job, putting on smiles, promoting their WORK! Hard work! What was she doing there? They def had real work in the morning selling their show. Maybe Miss Ma’am got another bag-ul, either dressed up or down for her invisible flight home to get back and rot because she’s 40 and tired.
