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!

Right, then.
What a fucking LIAR! She always lies. She's always playing a role. Meanwhile, for the SI show, Knix paid for her to be in the show they sponsored. I laugh at the idea that she says she was being bullied; no, she was being called out for all her lies. 😵💫
She wore her branded swimsuits being sold by Knix on tbe freaking runway! It seems so obvious this was orchestrated by her benefactor yet she keeps saying the two events (Knix being a sponsor and her walking the runway) are unrelated. She wasn’t in the shoot for the magazine. She was a last-minute addition. She got the call but didn’t apply. Okay, take a look at this scenario - why would they call you? Did they go through previous year’s applications and her’s just jumped out as someone they needed. It’s highly likely. SI never invited her back even though she was ‘showing up’ at their events and trying to get their attention. Her walk was a one and done and she was either not told the truth as to why she got to walk that one year or she refused to read the writing on the wall and chooses to recount her fairy tale story of how it all happened.
This. She was there bc Knix was a sponsor and they gave her a spot to walk in Knix swim as a payback for Knix being a sponsor SI. That's it. Why won't she admit that? She's so odd.
That’s the thing about those types of lies. What would it even matter how or why you get in. If it’s REALLY a dream, then jump for joy you got in and be grateful how it all happened. If Susie-Q gets me in line to walk The Wall of China…why does it matter if it’s happening for me. Why say the Emporer himself called if it’s not true? The way she always tells the story with PMDD and SI is the truth trying to come out.
Worst dressed and worst suits on stage..
A quick Google search shows there was a SI model search during that time period.
