So she posts a reel with M, who asks not to be posted, so she manipulates her into a reel without her face. She then proceeds to include her bending over to pick up L’s sign. She is such an asshole. I hope she knows that M will realize this one day. The clock is ticking.
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 don’t know anything about the mom “friend” she posted with a daughter graduating with M, but I can say she has aged very naturally and beautifully. Birdie looks like a fake “real housewife” try hard poser. So cringe.
Agreed, she looks her age and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Sarah looks so fake trying to be one of the graduates.
I’m starting to realize that most people look their age even with cosmetic procedures. There’s just something about the face that gives it away even if I can’t put my finger on it. I think Sarah looks exactly her age, but with work. I say this as someone who gets Dysport btw - I don’t think it makes me look younger, just like someone my own age with “nice” skin.
It’s always hard for me to get a read on Sarah’s age mainly bc she never shows her real face. The person she presents herself to be on Instagram is someone that she’s trying to make look like a teenager or a young adult. I’m sure if we saw her real face more often I would more than likely agree that she looks her age for the most part. She just looks fake all around to me though.
True! I was thinking about the photos someone else posted from the podcast she was on. She looks solidly 39-40 there to me.
Yes I can agree with you on those! When she’s just her regular old self without filters, I do agree it’s easy to tell her age.
On Sarah's original blogs. The one she had to use a broken lap top for. The Birds Papaya writes about having a tribe of support from family and friends. Including friends that married around the same time. Sarah lies about everything and anything.
I was just thinking about how I thought she was the only one of her friends pregnant and they all went to University etc so she had nobody….except apparently this other friend with a daughter the same age now. Like why lie about that??
Also random, but am very quiet on insta, never liked any negative posts, follow them all…just realized I was blocked by Becci when I realized I hadn’t seen her stories in a while…absolutely no clue why but very weird.
It’s crazy how there’s suddenly a new character in Birdie’s backstory! She did say she was alone and didn’t have any mom friends but it looks like these 2 grew up together and now are going to the same uni!
I wouldn’t stress about any of them blocking you because they just do what they think will preserve their images.
As for AM well AM’s hubby told someone to literally unalive themselves, and yet A’s friend F has had 2 siblings pass this way. Most of the shine people are openly sober but AM was going to push booze. AM threatened to punch someone and was working with anti violence organization.
B supports an incredible trans account (this is good news) who had their t-shirt designs stolen (this is awful, and we should all be mad) and yet S&K t-shirt company that B used for her viral water thing uses designs that aren’t her own (for the S&K pride merchandise). Go look at the more pride less prejudice, frog umbrella one and the angry woman one- they are all over the web and are dated before launch). B took down the links to help stop genocide to put up merch link.
With mental health posts they get $ from organizations too. They still buy Disney, Coke, Amazon, all of which are complicit in genocide.
These friends are all about consent but S is not cool with consent. The friends are mostly all against showing their kids or child relatives, but S isn’t and they are okay with this. S doesn’t speak up for pride, trans rights or genocide but B & AM did (B removed link, A only posted half-assed thing in fall then a link but showed no contribution). So I think friendships with S and shine people have seemed to lower moral compass.
There’s more, but they aren’t worth worrying about. Let’s call them out for disappearing stories when it’s anything of substance, pushing links for environmental damaging food and clothing companies and just overlooking bad behavior.
Would you be upset if you were in high school and you called out a mean girl for bad behavior but then got cancelled or ignored by her friends? No you wouldn’t. Treat this like high school. After high school (or adulthood with superficial friendships with popularity or financial benefits in this case) people discover themselves and either get worse or they improve themselves. I think, let’s let these adults figure out that they are contributing to problematic behavior and let’s let them show that they can grow.
In the meantime keep calling them out (as you should in real life too), attend protests, contribute to mutual aid, donate your time to worthy causes, stop over consuming and ignore these people. Look for community in groups even like this if it’s all you can do, to search for people who are looking to disrupt the status quo. Let these ones figure out life a little longer.
They can block and we can too. I suggest blocking anyone that is harmful to your mental health. It could be perhaps that them getting called out or they are looking for comments that call their friends out causes them mental distress because they aren’t ready to face the facts yet. And ultimately if it’s not good for their mental health, they will have to block you too. To an outsider that seems really silly. You would think that when people are making suggestions to become better people that people will try to take strides, but it’s often once they’re through the fog that they will see the error of their ways.
Omg I just checked and I'm blocked too! I don't even follow any of them lol I never like anything on my finsta. She wild
Weird right?? I haven’t liked any of Janette’s stories or followed her or anything. I’m even fairly quiet here and on Reddit unless I have something to say. She’s the only one who has me blocked…big loss I know but very odd
Do you follow Janette?
Imagine having the time to go through everyone who follows Janette and blocking them. Hilarious.
It is hilarious!
No. Specifically didn’t because of that lol. I just search her name when I want to see. So random. And to the other poster agreed. Definitely don’t care just thought it was weird considering I haven’t liked/followed anyone that would provoke a block. Honestly though, I don’t miss it lol
I have two accounts. Can’t find Becci on either. Did she peace out?? Maybe the acclimatize viral lake video was too much?
No it's still there. You can still watch her stories via an anonymous viewer. She probably blocked you too lol.
She can’t have. One of the accounts I used has never viewed her account before.
ETA: I just realized when you block you block all that persons accounts.
I can still, however, find her with one of my never used accounts so I don’t know how she is blocking but that’s weird.
Also why? I’ve never liked or followed any of the SNL hate on either platform. So strange. Wtf is up Beccis ass? Lol
This is Beccis til tok… I don’t know what that blank empty shit is at the top of her account. Deleted? Don’t get it.
That’s literally the last thing I remember her posting. Then realized I hadn’t seen anything for a while, went to check and doesn’t exist for me at all lol
So weird. I’m in the same boat. Have never done anything.
I unfollowed her. I wonder if she’s blocking unfollows based on a report? I can’t figure this out!!
I think Becci’s page may be gone?
I’ll have a look because I blocked her before she could block me
I think her account was compromised
No she’s there. I have an account I didn’t block them on . She’s likely blocked you then.
She probably did!
It’s still there you may be a blocked potato. 🚫🥔
People who abandon their friends who have kids not at the same age when you do are trash anyway. Superficial internet posted friends are just that- it’s the real ones people keep hidden to maintain privacy. I am private on all social media but I have friends who don’t want their photos anywhere online even on private anccounts, and almost all my friends refuse to have photos of our kids online anywhere. It’s possible this mom friend has simply not shared her connection to avoid people creeping on her family. I ask my friends with larger followings to never have me tagged or in their pics. It’s a boundary that most of the world keeps, which is why we see the redundancy of these influencers everywhere.
