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!

Interesting, right? A friend provided me with the information. It's a snippet. There seems to be some sort of access to the deal and PR/sales conversations.
It will be fascinating to see how Sarah behaves next week if she attends the SI "Social Club". Will she act like she's part of SI?
I wonder if this post @thebirdspapaya can be considered an undisclosed ad? 🔽
Joanna's fictional story makes me chuckle. On what planet does a model get to decide what outfit/ or brand they are going to wear? Does Joanna think the audience is stupid? "We had this swim collab that was slated for actually later in June but decided, knowing Sarah was going to be included [on the SI Swimsuit runway] that [there's no] better way to launch a collection [than] to have the person who helped design it walk on it on the runway," Griffith tells us." *This type of decision would have to go through the Authentic Brands Group sales team, be approved, and presented to the styling/show team. I guess Joanna assumes that we all believe that she's in charge of the world. She's lucky to be Canadian; in the USA, she'd be just another annoying entrepreneur who exaggerates.
this is so fascinating and so infuriating! like, sarah is SO obviously full of shit and lies… her whole life revolves around turning her narcissistic self-obsession into a 24/7, never-ending commercial for all the shit she shills. but the way knix astroturfed the SI thing (and also astroturfed the warped ~bopo cinderella~ narrative that went along with it) is a whole other level of manipulation. sarah nicole landry is a liar and a cheater, and she doesn’t need help doing either of these things. but she DOES have help lying and cheating, she has help from powerful ($$) people and organizations. it’s just so fucked. thank you so much for sharing this info, please share as much of it as you are able! i'm curious if anyone knows more about how shine works, i feel like we don’t talk enough about them and they’re probably also shady as fuck.
I always wonder what would happen if Shine goes down? Would these “influencers” continue to exist?
i also wonder this! i think it’s likely we will find out 👀 the influencer wave has for sure crested, we can see how desperately they’re all scrambling to cling to relevance and revenue. i swear sometimes i can feel the panic and desperation radiating off of sarah in her stories.
Is it at all possible that Sarah is just delusional enough to believe Joanna didn’t buy her spot and her benefactor engineered this whole mythical story that she was chosen to make her dream come true? If this is true it must be a real kick in Sarah’s gut to never be considered again even though she made sure she attended all the events for the next two years.
I wonder about this. Joanna is sneaky. More files from retouchers who worked on Knix's "we don't photoshop" campaigns landed in my inbox.
Ohhh spill the tea!😉

Excellent!
When you lie for a living reality and make believe begin to meld together.
Got worst dressed list too. She looks so desperate clinging on to SI. Cringe af
Her inner thighs melded together on thar walk. Weird
Also does she ever even wear her collabs? i haven’t seen this pink gingham suit in her feed really, it must have ebbed and flowed out of her closet
Does she wear anything more than once??
I don’t think she is going. She mentioned being on a beach 🤷♀️
