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!

Her kids asking the same question we all are.
She looks like a trashy trainwreck here
That stance is ridiculous. She would rather look like she is standing to pee than have her legs touch.
Podcast host - is that what she’s rebranding as?! She took the content creator out of her insta bio too. Is she evolving or does she believe she is more elite than the influencer set.
She’s an actress now btw, she’s a Traitor!! She’s so giddy and going hard right now. It’s so obvious what she’s up to with her social media. She probably won, which tracks with being an actual traitor in real life.
Sarah doesn't understand how hard it will be to move into the mainstream media on a level she craves. She also doesn't get how much her past will haunt her. If she wins Canadian Traitors. What next? Canadian Amazing Race? A couple of new endorsements? Being a regular guest on reality isn't winning. It doesn't translate into her own show or significant financial gains. She's in a very small pond in Canada and has relatively minimal success, only because she takes her clothing off and lies. Thanks to influencers like Sarah, Canadian TV is dying. Many networks are aware of her and Shine Talent's contribution to network revenue losses. Have you noticed they have all been removed from Citytv? There is a reason for that. She can put her head in the sand all she wants, delete comments, use engagement pods, and stack likes on her post, but she can't change the fact that many people in the media don't like her or her husband. Perhaps they don't say anything publicly yet, but they won't hesitate to block opportunities for her. Sarah should also understand how fickle Canadian "fame" is. Years ago, I worked the guest list at "Easy and the 5th" (at the time, it was a very exclusive club in Toronto). One night, two "Lofters" (cast members from a Canadian reality show) screamed at me for not knowing who they were. They had the same vibes as Sarah and were popular at the time. Now they are nowhere.
If she can get some real traction in the USA, her past crimes and all the receipts will be very valuable to the right media outlet. Everyone loves a scandal in America, especially a scandal that unfolds over years and has multiple subplots. Apple Cider Vinegar, anyone?
She looks like she was trying to win the prize for best costume at an 80s theme party.
She's thrilled to be in Hello Canada; meanwhile, their readership numbers are low compared to the Daily Mail. Her "worst dressed" callout in the Daily Mail has much better reach. 🐦 forgets, it's all about the numbers now.
Her teenagers hate her.
They definitely hate her and are embarrassed by her!
