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!

She’s grooming this poor poor child. I just know it
L. needs & deserves her privacy! This really bothers me! Enroll her in kindergarten, dance, art classes, etc. 🐦💩 can afford just about anything L. might want to do. I feel so sorry for this sweet little kid!
I really wish she’d just let this kid be a kid with some privacy. We don’t need to see her every movement and performance. Nor do we need to know she just had bath time.
Like why doesn’t she sign her up for some classes and let her be a kid with other kids? Stop making her perform for your followers bc your content is super dry otherwise. Like if she wants this kid to be a star or something, do something about it? Obviously nobody has come calling for her with the way she keeps pushing this kid to perform all the time.
This child isn't star material, not being mean but it's pretty obvious lol. I agree as well. She shouldn't have her as content when it's literally not even interesting and is just basic everyday kid shit that most mothers deal with on the daily.
I agree she isn’t and that’s why nobody is knocking down the door despite S clearly pushing so hard for it to happen. Like her motives are so clear to me (although I know part of the reason is bc she legit has nothing else to post) but she wouldn’t post this kids every twirl or song she sings if she didn’t want something to come out of it.
Seriously, this kid does nothing special to warrant needing her every move posted. Maybe if she went to school or gymnastics or ballet or something she’d be a little more interesting instead of singing the same wicked or frozen song every day.
Absolutely! She is an adorable little kid but she is not doing backflips or singing pitch-perfectly. Normal little kid things being posted like it's unprecedented and the world needs to see it
