(First lemmy post so bear with me)

This is the most entertaining listing I’ve ever seen and I cannot get over the drinking water situation. Like am I reading this right? From the listing: “ *Please note, the water is not potable and should not be drank or consumed.” and bird’s response about bottles water. lol yeah sign me up!

“Not be drank” 🤦🏻‍♀️

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

I know, the cringe is endless

[-] No_really_why@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago

So it’s not on Airbnb… so there’s no reviews she can’t delete… got it.

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 months ago

“Picture this: your own private beachfront paradise, where t he sun kisses your skin and the gentle waves serenade you r soul” was this written by AI?! Whats with the word breaks, mid-word??

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 29 points 4 months ago

It was written by her lawyers who sent the C & D 😂

[-] JanetteEwen@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

😏 I appreciate you.

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Best comment ever 🤣

[-] Daisymay22@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 months ago

I do feel like the water situation is pretty normal, any cottage I’ve been to it’s a showering & brushing your teeth is ok but don’t drink it situation. But she could at least provide a water cooler like damn, it wouldn’t be much to have one and some spare jugs around.

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

Agree! I’m not originally from Ontario so I don’t have much cottage experience but if it wasn’t drinkable, I’d definitely expect an accommodation like a cooler so I don’t have to worry about supplying drinking water for all of my guests.

[-] OddQuality@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

Oh boy, she must really believe in her product to not want any information about it to be public on AirBnB. I'm sure that's what took so long; she had to hire someone to build an entire website for her so no one could leave reviews or see how often it's booked.

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago

There isn’t a bbq! That would be a dealbreaker for me

[-] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 months ago

So you can burn down the joint with an open fire but can’t have a BBQ 🤔 😂

[-] No_really_why@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

No bbq is just cheap. Especially at that nightly cost to stsy. But considering they’re not even providing water, I guess it’s not a surprise.

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

I’m always fascinated people defend her like she’s their friend and the fan-girling is disturbing

[-] after_act@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 months ago

This is what bothers me more and more. She knows people will defend her. This is what she cultivates and manipulates with her big Disney princess eyes, her health scares, and how brave she is...its so calculated and gross.

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

This is what bothers me the most too because these people are just her marks in the con game. They defend her and spend all their money on the crap she’s selling.

[-] ThatOrangeBird@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

This heat wave should really crank up the algae blooms big time. I'm also assuming they must be on a well and they haven't checked the water yet? Sheesh, amateurs (at life).

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I don’t believe they haven’t tested the water. I think it failed the test. Why not install a cooler system with water delivery? I wouldn’t want to schlep my drinking water when I’m paying $650/night

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Exactly! Accommodate people for that price!

[-] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Or even a reverse-osmosis system. That’s what many cottagers have on my lake (which is sadly near hers).

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

That sounds so cool!

[-] FraudulentFruit1@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I’m on TT getting hot tub warnings all of a sudden 🤣. When the guests are done swimming in the algae lake they can take their chances in the hot tub.

[-] Thefrogsbanana@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

There is a 3-night minimum stay. House is $650/night.

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

$650/night plus bring your own water 😳

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago
[-] Uterusofsteel@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago

I could go to Europe for a week at that price! Jeez!

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

grammar and amenities or lack thereof are both atrocious.

[-] Quietnomore@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 months ago

The lack of proof reading on anything she does amazes me. However, I should note I am a melting ice cream cone and I take pride in my work, unlike Birdie who does the least possible.

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Apologies. I made a post too. I didn't see this. Look at the website! It’s so poorly designed. The words split mid-word

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Sorry! I’m still trying to get the hang of lemmy lol

[-] Glowpop@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Plastic water bottles everywhere add to the aesthetic!

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

lol and great way to up your microplastic intake

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago
[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

Testing as a precaution? WTF? Well water has to be regularly tested

[-] MoonChild@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

I just clicked the book now link and got this!

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Yeah saw that. There’s a different ‘book now’ button further up that page that works

[-] Snarkasaurus@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 months ago

On IG, she said its server issues because of all the web traffic to her site haha. No, it’s probably just a broken link 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Trying to trick us into thinking her algae cottage is breaking the internet is the laugh I needed today.

[-] Bitchwhiskers@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

Yes that is 100% just a broken link not a server issue lol

[-] Rarepotato@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago
[-] after_act@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

This price is unreal. Why are people running to book this crappy pepto palace. Why people????!?!?!?!

[-] Uhohla@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

I just don’t quite understand what is the big deal about it being pink? Like it’s 2024, “unconventional” colors for houses are not a big deal.

Also yea it sleeps 10, but to me the space seems quite small.

I mean its whatever, to each his own. I have no idea why anyone would pay to stay on a lake, that is not exactly safe to swim in. 🤷🏼‍♀️ What’s the point?

[-] ladybonerforjustice@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

She acts like she invented the colour pink when really it’s incredibly popular (and NOT because of her, as she once implied).

[-] YouReceivedItLikeThat@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Just drove through Flesherton on the way home from the cottage. There is nothing going on there. Nada.

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!
