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!

I dislike her sooooo much. More and more every day and with every event she does. I ask myself why do I continue to check in on her? Because karma has to catch up with her eventually and somehow she will crumble and I apparently need a front row seat.
This comment is so relatable to me lol. At this point I truly don't give a shit what she does. She's insufferable and I can't anymore. I feel so much better without constantly seeing her, watching her shape shift and morph and fuck with my own (now otherwise stable, for once!) self esteem. Her voice is absolutely grating. But at the same time.... I feel committed to the snark cause, I need to see justice served. So I still check here daily. And I still love this community. But I'm so done with her. She fucking sucks.
Same, same.
Hear hear!!
That’s how I feel. I’m so sick of watching her get these opportunities and act like such a smug bitch but I need to be there to see the inevitable downfall
The thing is that it's not the opportunity she makes it out to be. Her daughter is graduating highschool this week and she's leaving to go to a Prime video documentary showing for Celine Dion. Sarah will likely get to maybe introduce her, ask a few preapproved questions or say a few statememts. And for what? It’s not an interview, its a movie we can all see on Prime,. Know what I mean? She hypes it up but its not that big of a thing. Just another vacation for her. If I had the choice I’d rather spend that week with my child about to graduate highschool. That only happens once. Sarah doesn't have a humble bone in her body-quite the opposite. She wants to make people feel like she's a much bigger deal than she is (she called herself iconic earlier today) She’s full of hot air and lies.
I get so much secondhand embarrassment watching her embellish her "accomplishments" and "opportunities"
Especially because M. didn't get a graduation in 2020 because of COVID. This is her first official one.
I can't wait until she posts about Celine's health issues but makes the whole thing about herself. Mark my words, she'll find a way.
I agree wholeheartedly. She thinks she’s so important and like every event deserves her presence. But the only people who truly need her are the people she always leaves beind.
Same. I do it to document it.
Just don’t give her actual views- go on like instanavigation
