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!

More disgusted with her today than ever. Comes home from a week of pampering that she gets to call her “busy career job” and then spends her morning on herself + shilling a 90$ shirt (after 100s maybe thousands of $$ spent on new clothes for a trip) that she gets for free with her tiny body and large edited head. And then when she’s done, her time with her small daughter is…..all spent on her phone. So disgusting!
Also giving a side view cuz the real her was shared in photos. An absolute lair and fraud.
AND THEN THERES THIS!!! This is NOT her face, we just saw her face in professional photos. Holy shit how does she continue to get away with this????? God I hate her
Why are the people in her life not getting her the help she needs? Is it because they benefit from the money and perks? By no means is she a celebrity but this is seen time and time again with clearly disturbed cash cows families allowing the earner to go completely off the rails mentally. This lady is mentally unwell if she thinks she actually looks anything like the filtered photos that she posts. And if she 100% knows she looks nothing like what she posts how does she reconcile with herself why she is not posting her real self. Living with that much self hate is mentally debilitating as well. No matter which way you slice this lady needs professional help!!!!
AMEN!!!
Like NK, her father, Shane??? None of the care enough to step in? Maybe they do step in and she even denies it with them and uses the angles, lighting, lenses excuse. She’s clearly mentally ill when it comes to her appearance. I couldn’t live with myself or live with someone who thinks this is okay but she clearly has convinced herself she does look like the filtered version of herself imo.
She needs an intervention and therapy - lots of it. The empathetic part of me sometimes thinks what a sad way to live with literally no one giving two shits about you other than the cash you bring in. Other part of me truly thinks she might have something going where she’s the one controlling everything. Again not here to armchair diagnose but she exhibits a lot of tendencies associated with serious psychological disorders.
I'm in shock that no one close to her sees this or cares enough to intervene. It's mind boggling that her family feed into delusion. Same with her so-called friends. At some point, probably soon, she'll have to face the truth. And this will cause her to snap. Having her sub reddit cancelled was her biggest mistake. Now her lies are posted over multiple reddit's, some with followings in the millions. She's been called out on Instagram, GOMI, Youtube comments, twitter and in the comments sections of media articles she buys. Millions and millions of eyes are now on her lies, her fraud and her insanity. Her filtering is getting more intense and manic. It's obvious. When she doesn't purchase bots she bleeds followers. Every campaign in 2024 from Reitmans and Pandora to Canadian Tire has been a huge flop. She can buy all followers and articles she wants but people don't like her. Without filters and lies she doesn't have a career. The real Sarah hasn't resonated with audiences and she never will. When people find out she's lied and filtered they are angry and talk. If you look at InstagramReality on Reddit followers are angry when they see the truth. More and more people are realizing she's either severely mentally unwell or she's a criminal.
There are some mid size influencers the same size if not actually smaller than her with similar heights. I’m a size 4/6 and her face and her body looks smaller than me. I’m at a place where I’m able to differentiate what a tool this woman is vs what my body actually looks like. But I can’t imagine what a mindfuck this is for women who have genuine issues with body dysmorphia and ED.
Yep, me too. I am the same size as you albeit shorter and when I see her filtered images sometimes I wonder how she looks smoother in jeans with a shirt tucked in than I do before I give myself a mental shake and move on.
I wonder if she’s going to up her makeup content?? Glamzilla came home to a Beis suitcase full of Kosas and is going on another brand trip with them to Hawaii.
Such a pathetic human
Right down to the fake freckles. Everything about her is fraudulent
Her face looks ridiculous
T-Rex proportions. Cool.
Her voice when they are doing the car police chase thing actually makes me violent 😂 I can’t stand her.
