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!

OH MY FUCK. Can this absolute dickhead just shut the fuck up and get off her soapbox?! Egregious bitch
"working". Can somebody from the Funny Farm some please load this quack up? She's bonified crazy
I’m sorry but walking a red carpet where NOBODY knew who she was is not work, she did no work at that event. I could see if she wrote review articles or did interviews but all she did was look like a gigantic bitch on a red carpet because photographers didn’t know her name. What work did she do at Disney animation? She posted some photos of big and tiny things, wow!
Her definition of work is certainly different than what most consider a work day. God I am sick of her.
Sure she gets large paychecks for “partnerships” with Ninja or Canadian Tire and a few sympathy shoots with Knix. But if she’s been doing this for 7 years and that’s the payoff for always being away from your kids to get dressed up a fake some version of celebrity doesn’t seem like she’s doing anything meaningful full at all. Her work has not paid off?!! She was saying this is who she wants to be at 90 - saying yes and all that BS. I do believe she will be 90, completely self absorbed without a clue in the world about why she is alone and no one cares about her 90 years.
Agreed. When she’s 90 she’ll be looking at an empty house because her kids want nothing to do with her and she’ll be into several divorces. She’ll be alone but at least she’ll have some red carpet photos of herself all alone!
Funny, all her big special moments (in her mind) she has spent them all alone. How can that be super special? Doing everything meaningful alone? That’d make me feel so shitty if I were her family and I knew none of my mother’s/wives best moments were spent with me.
Having all the big moments alone is an interesting observation and I think it makes her diehards love her even more since, it appears, she’s sharing the moments with them. Really don’t think she’s ever thought about the fact her family isn’t there for the runway walks since it’s all about her and the applause and then the hits from her online devotees. She may have regrets when she’s older but she can also lie about the experiences since there are no witnesses! 😝
Speaking of the premiere she attended…why was she even on that carpet getting her photo taken? Who was she representing there? She was just “there”. Doing absolutely nothing. Celebrities attend premieres to create interest because people are influenced and want to be seen adjacent to celebrity status. This is not the case whatsoever. Also, it’s a series for adults so it tracks that it’s not her bag. Now, going to see cartoons or teenage movies is more like it. I think it’s yuck when adults pander to kids and high school/college aged young adults.
Working? Bahahaha!
Absolutely insane. I wonder what her driving skills are like when she is this out of it.
She’s still busy ‘working’!
She’s lost weight. It’s NOT a filter. It is ozempic.
She's gross.
She must be exhausted after all this ‘work’
Yikes. Ozempic butt.
