Canadian body positive influencer with 2.3 million followers promises her followers and audience that she does not and will not facetune, filter, edit or photoshop her appearance in any way. She claims that she will not correct her appearance. She claims that she hasn't had any facial fillers since early 2018.
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 see the bird lovers found us here
Yes they did and that’s okay because their need to shut us down tells a story.
It certainly does. I have never even heard of Lemmy before our group making a page. I find it odd that they found us so quickly. They are crazy. Leave us alone. Also, do we have a mole?
I always assume there’s a mole. specifically, a two-faced one who means to be here because they can’t handle Birdie anymore, but plays Spy to keep in her good books. I think that’s most likely, even.
100%. The fact that new, private reddits that were invite only, didn't use her name or anything remotely having to do with her, and not promoted on any other sub received harassment reports and then were banned proves that. There was no way for someone not a member of the sub to know about/find and report anything otherwise.
I have a short list of possible moles. They made a mistake, they made a move before there were even 20 people added to the sub.
the move was posted on one of the other snark subs, so we’re findable
I think it’s important to be findable so other people who are sick of SNL and are looking to have their feelings validated find us. I remember being so happy after googling The Birdspapaya annoying and then joining the group
Totally agree.
