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!

This needs to be discussed. I’ve never seen a more conceited, self absorbed absolute cunt in my entire life. Listen to the song choice…for those who are blocked it’s “Everybody Supports Women” by Sofia Isella. How can she be so cocky and arrogant yet despise her own looks all at the same time - help me to understand 🤯
Her response makes zero sense. Why do people fall for posts like this. She’s got to know that her supporting cast is a bunch of dumdums!
All the while she’s getting skinny just like the rest of the body positive influencers as if they all didn’t prey on the vulnerabilities of woman for years. It is disgusting and predatory, even to the point of glorifying not investing in nutrition/physical activity. I don’t believe in birds influence but it’s there and it’s harmful. I’ll just say it, to essentially encourage others to settle on a 20lb (just a number it could be any) weight gain and just love themselves may have sounded great 2 years ago but now they are dropping the weight because thin is in and woman with actual demanding jobs and families they actually take care of are being left behind because even if they are feeling uncomfortable with their weight gain they have no time, resources, support or lack of stress to begin to change. This could be my bodies natural weight or it could be because I watch 6hrs of movies on a weekday - something Sarah’s done many times. As a woman I believe we come in all shapes and sizes and loving ourselves begins in how we value ourselves - not in how many forehead wrinkles we have or if someone looks twice at my tummy. I love what I see in the mirror because I’ve overcome hard shit, our family loves each other madly and I contribute I’m my career. Unlike birdshit I actually love what I see. I think this is why I saw Sarah for the fraud she is and want her to have a reckoning. That photo of herself all tucked in trying to look tiny from today is sickening - she loves, values being thin, it’s obvious.
** I read this over, it’s a quick thought so it can’t cover all the things but if it sounds like I’m advocating that we shouldn’t gain the 20lbs, I’m not. We can’t hate ourselves to any weight, that’s not good. But what I do believe is the body positive space has done harm and it needs to be said. There is a balance in there and I don’t think it’s all in self love - I think it’s in love for others.
👏👏 I agree with you. This whole body-positive shift to skinny is really upsetting. They all seem smug, lazy, gloating and privileged.
Because they are. They never cared about other women to begin with. That’s why eff this influencer bullshit! Don’t tell me to support other women like I should do so without first considering what I support. And yes indeed!!! I’m am so proud to be so much more than trying to sit small in a chair. Women like 🐦 💩 are a dime a dozen. We all know her and feel bad for them. The live their lives looking for anything or anyone to give them attention. Every human comes to a point in life that they have to look in the REAL MIRROR and not the one Narcissus used at the edge of the shore.
I, completely, agree with you and it sounds like you have a very healthy outlook. I really don’t think this Bird knows who she is or what she values other than how she looks, attention from others and money. It’s so sad she has influence over anyone because it seems pretty obvious, to me, she’s empty inside and no one should emulate her
So well said! Yes - she is empty!
