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 just saw this pic she posted and zoomed in because I was surprised since it is so different than the face she usually posts! I can’t wait to see if she keeps it up!
I just want to ETA that she has, in the past, admitted to using all the tools to make herself appear smaller during her whole weight loss journey. She said this to further her story as being a changed person and an advocate for body positivity. We know she never stopped using these tools despite all her protestations saying it was all good lighting and posing. How is she going to spin it if she does pull back on the face changing she’s been doing since she broke through and had a money-making platform? She’s been called out for it on her own platform as well as when she’s been posted on other IG pages like Women’s Health, BT, Reitmans and SI Swimsuit to name just a few and has always pushed back. How will she admit to the years of lying without alienating her audience? I also don’t, for one minute, believe she can stop.
agree, i think she is actually incapable of being honest. i think she somehow genuinely believes her own lies and the fake versions that she posts online (yes, plural, all the diff filters and voices and affects she constantly flips between) are more real to her than her irl self. she is pathological and it seems to only get worse as time goes on (this is often the case with narcs).
I think she’s getting desperate. It doesn’t look like she’s had a lot of good paying jobs in the last couple of years. She’s been walking red carpets and going on trips but that isn’t money in the bank and hasn’t lead to anything ‘big’. I don’t know if she gets paid when she sits across from actors and asks them questions from her prepared list. At this time last year she was raising chickens and the poor, severely injured puppy was soon to make an appearance. It all just feels like she’s throwing everything against the wall to see if something will stick.
That sweet pup was exploited-by BP and by the rescue.
I agree with you. She's trying everything. She's also trying new filters that aren't working well. The glitch on and off. Below are some screenshots from her recent reel. Look at her neck in the first few. lol. She'd probably look better if she stopped using them.
She looks like she’s never been in water before. She’s such a weird one.
The neck is really weird and there something going on with her nose in the last few.
I don’t think she will ever. I do believe that her attempt to “look” authentic is to look honest, because if she does indeed broadcast she was/is dating someone else’s wife, people will be more likely to be kinder.
This is all true. I think she's gotten worse.
As someone that cannot stop editing my body, even just a little bit, I agree. I don't wish it upon anyone
