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!

How is it possible she gets more annoying each day?
Literally can’t stand her. Wouldn’t dynamite prefer someone young and hip to work with? Why do brands keep working with her at all??? I don’t get it.
She was really feeling how small she looked in these outfits though. Wonder if she’ll ever mention how and why the weight is melting off her.
Especially the photo she bumped up on her grid with her belly skin hanging a foot over underwear. She’s def tightened her torso. And the engagement photos during the K/S engagement. She isn’t the trailblazer she thinks she is; she is a rider of coat tails.
How do u tighten loose skin?
There are many non surgical procedures that tighten skin, burn fat. Because the more fat you lose the more loose skin you can have. How is that shrinking on its own since she’s losing weight so quickly?
There are body sculpting treatments - I don’t how it works but it exists. Good for her whatever she’s doing to loose weight. It’s very obvious she likes being thin. The problem is how she’s gaslit woman for so many years. I’m convinced her trickery led many woman to choose weight gain - to follow her lead as an “expert” in self love and body positivity. And now, unlike bird, with normal lives they aren’t able drop the weight, get support or feel good through endless procedures, and nails and hair a get away.
I don’t know if I expressed this well. I’m not saying thin is better or that a person who is a size 14 can’t or shouldn’t feel really good in their body. But I do think her influence has had a negative impact on others. I think it’s crazy shameful for her not to acknowledge her body changing again.
This is the exact reason why people snark. Because all along she was never accepting of the larger body she found herself in much less even the one she has now. It IS the gaslighting and it IS the the fact that for someone who proclaims to be body positive there is nothing of that on her page but when she comes up with some photo and makes a word salad to go with the dish she keeps serving the sheep.
All of this. She encouraged women to NOT be active. She dissed fit women. She lied and said she loved herself at a larger size. She did it while losing weight. She's so insecure. She equates thinnest with prettiest, and she HAS to be the prettiest. She's the girl who will make a friend a smootie with weight-gaining powder in it.
She is Not active. Remember when she was her smallest? Remember hwo she did it? She's doing the same thing. Diet coke and rice cakes. She's starving herself and it shows. She looks awful. And I have been in an eating disorder. I know what she is doing. I did it all until my body failed me. She's sick in her head and needs to get off socials.
I’m a recovered anorexic and can attest that is exactly what she is doing. I lost a ton of weight, quickly, by starving myself and had the exact same loose flabby skin but I was skinny. She’s a lying fraud piece of shit
The biggest piece of shit!
I never thought of that. I have no clue about loose skin so I cant say much. I can almost guarantee she's getting different procedures done continuously.
