This woman is in her nineties and is fabulous.Why the shaming?I thought TBP saying older people looking like melting ice creams and being ageist was problematic? Please help me understand better?

I feel like FF is judging Birdie for saying it’s her one goal in life, not judging the person in the picture. Like it’s sad this is all Birdie is striving for in life.

This woman raised a family while working and lived an entire life.In her 80’s her grandaughter posted a photo of her and she blew up on social media.I mean, being a bad ass activist in her 90’s defying ageism while having your own sephora line and being followed by multiple celebrities?Pretty solid goals?

Bird doesn’t raise her kids other people do that for her. All I meant was is her goal is to show up the rest of her life getting her picture taken in her bra and underwear. I wasn’t saying anything about this lady. Take a breather.

Yes but I doubt Sarah knows any of this, Sarah sees a picture of a bad ass older woman still modeling and that’s what she wants, Sarah doesn’t do any research on peoples backstories to know all the things you said. And if she does know all those things, she isn’t working very hard to be like this woman 🤷🏻‍♀️

I totally understand your point and yes she’s a bad ass and goals. I think the implication is that SNL doesn’t know any of that and is merely being superficial. Obviously, she’s not doing activism or anything worthwhile so maybe she needs to shift her goals a little.

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!
