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 is she so awkward after all the times she has been on stage?! Is it because these people seem to have natural charisma, and she can't handle it? Or because she knows she is going to look bigger than the size 2 she was earlier? I honestly believe she feels very awkward around the LGBTQ+ crowd because they allow themselves to be authentic to themselves, despite people being homophobes or them being marginalized. She could never ever ever and she knows it.
I agree, why do you think if she clung onto them whiling filming the show they have accepted her? Do they know she’s afraid to use her platform form to stand up for them? That she plucks members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to give the appearance of her acceptance and support?! But only what’s palatable?
Do these other cast members feel sorry for her? Were they more welcoming because she looked left out and couldn’t fit in?
These new friends of hers are nothing more than a means to an end for her. She is grasping at any new audience she can, and now it's the LGBTQ+ community, apparently. The thing is, when you live authentically, you spot those that don't. I'm guessing her friends might be just as fame hungry as her and assume she has more clout than she does because of her inflated numbers.
Yes!! She knew she was headed to a show so she needed a few props before this appearance. So sad!!
Agreed. I mentioned about her growing her LGBTQ circle on the reddit page, it seems very calculated to me but she is also sooo awkward around them and tries way too hard to pretend she’s in with them.
