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!

2.5 million followers and no one jumping to the opportunity to adopt this poor dog and give it a forever home?? Hmmm
Why hasn’t she told us about the puppy’s toe???
I just seen he may need another toe amputated and they are concerned about his jaw.
She hasn’t said shit! Like I’m wondering why he needs a feeding tube?
And that poor baby’s tongue looks soooo dry. I hope they’re taking care of that, I assume there needs to be some sort of maintenance for that.
I noticed that today as well. Hope they take care of it before it gets worse
There is zero indication that bird 🧠priorities anyone else’s needs over creating content! That dog should not be with her!
Not too many have the affordability to care for a high needs, vulnerable dog, especially in this economy. Totally to your point of her follower count and how the organization probably thought it would be an easy sell, given the optics of her "following", but also tone deaf with somebody with her financial stability, trying to pawn the dog off to somebody with a bleeding heart, but empty bank account.
Maybe she should adopt the dog??? Influencers always asking the populous to do what they don’t do themselves. Get free things…then ask you to buy them so they make money. Here’s all the cats and dogs you should adopt. But not me, you do it. Always trying to stand in a position of favor like they are sharing it with you. No thanks.
These bloody influencers literally invented virtue signalling!! They all make me sick pledging to us ACTUAL WORKING citizens when they get flown around the globe for free and get free everything. Disgusting world we are living in.
I don’t think she should adopt the dog, only because it deserves SO much better but she can definitely afford to pay for it’s vet bills and care. Why doesn’t she do that? She doesn’t care.
THIS!!! She’s always pushing these poor cute little animals up for adoption, well why doesn’t she adopt one of them? Most of her following probably don’t have close to the amount of money, space or resources she has. Yet she wants to look like the hero in the end when someone adopts the animal because SHE brought attention to it 🙄
Comments on the rescues page are asking her why she doesn’t adopt. “She travels to often”. But here…you do it while I travel.
Lmfao. Travels too often to Disney. Her husband is a stay at home dad.
He gets to grocery shop during working hours. That’s a tough job!
Travels too often..............but has another dog and kids...........kkkkkkkkkk
Right!
