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!

Exactly, Sarah is not marginalized. I call bs on some of the comments including "this makes me not want to have kids". Her body is not a result of her children. Her body is her body. The children comment could be coming from Sarah. Sarah is a medium height, somewhat attractive white women from the burbs. She grew up going to Disney world every year and was raised by two parents that love her. She owned a home at 20 and has never faced any major hardship in her life. She earns money by shoving her insecurities on others. Why doesn't she be honest and talk about things that are interesting... her affair, what it's like to be a compulsive liar, how she regrets having children, what it's like to be the bread winner, how does it feel to have her husband around all day, does she feel guilty for using her mother as a daycare, waas it helpful when Mommy and Daddy bought her house back for her???
I’m interested in all the topics you suggested l. I want to know if it’s exhausting being a compulsive liar and I want to know if she just lies to her online followers because she’s running a con or does she lie to people irl. I want to know how it felt when she discovered how the pregnancies began and Shane decided to get a vasectomy. Did he choose this route because he doesn’t trust you not to have another child once L is old enough to say no to being on IG?
when she discovered how the pregnancies began, sent me. 🤣
To be frank, if she spent more time focused on :
Then maybe she’d stop caring about her vessel! Almost ALL of my friends bodies (who have had kids or not) look exactly like this at 40+. We are NOT out here focusing on our bodies, but we are actively calling out people like her who give us 40+ crowd a bad rep of being vapid consumers stuck in egotistical high school mentality. Also, my friends who work out, compete and train for things have super kickass physical bodies but they are OLDER! Nobody looks the same as they age. And maybe I just have a better family or friends who don’t talk about our bodies, and she’s stuck with an unsupportive spouse, family and friends who let her make this her “thing” but they really do need to tell her she’s fine, it’s a body, it’s nothing worth singling out, and that she could be more and know her worth without a focus on her vessel.
I think all your suggestions are amazing but Sarah is never going to take the time to learn about what’s going on in the world. She just isn’t interested in reality. I really think she’s incapable of thinking about anyone but herself.
So well said as per usual!
Exactly!
