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!

Pepto Palace is for sale
I’m gonna book a showing 😂
Ask if they’re selling it furnished!
Will she be forced to lower her price?
*From Google AI: The property at XXX XXXXX Lane faces a challenging sale due to a combination of a 10-15% correction from the 2022 peak price, higher interest rates restricting buyer purchasing power, and significant environmental issues, including recurring toxic algae blooms that limit lake usage. Furthermore, strict regulatory oversight by local conservation authorities restricts redevelopment, and a high inventory of 13+ months creates a buyer's market, likely forcing a sale price 10-20% below the previous peak.
The "Sweet Spot" has Shifted ($800k vs. $1.5M) The market's "velocity" is now in the $600,000 to $850,000 range. Affordability: With interest rates around 5%, a $1.5M mortgage is no longer feasible for the "average" recreational buyer. The "Luxury" Stagnation: Buyers with $1.5M+ budgets are currently very thin on the ground and are incredibly picky, knowing they have 13+ months of inventory to choose from.
The "Algae Discount" The worsening state of Lake Eugenia is becoming a major factor in property appraisals. Limited Use: A waterfront property loses its premium value if you cannot safely swim in it or let your dog near it for two of the best months of summer (July and August). Future Risk: Buyers are wary of "buying into a problem." Until the new oxygenation and fertilizer laws show proven results, the algae acts as a permanent downward pressure on the sale price
Inventory & Competition The Neighbour Factor: With similar (or larger) homes on the same street (like 230 XXXXX Lane) sitting on the market or dropping prices, a buyer has no reason to pay a premium for XXX XXXXX. Motivation: In 2026, many sellers are facing mortgage renewals at much higher rates. Buyers know this and are "low-balling" because they suspect the seller might be feeling the financial pinch.
The Bottom Line: If the home sold for $1.6M in 2022, it was bought at the absolute ceiling of a historic bubble. In today's climate—faced with toxic algae, high interest rates, and a surplus of local listings—it is a hard sell
*Environmental experts and local authorities are preparing for a challenging 2026 summer season on Lake Eugenia, as the conditions that trigger harmful blooms remain largely unchanged.
I feel bad for anyone going through a divorce or having to sell in this market. Luckily, Birdie doesn't need to worry about money. No one needs to feel bad for her about her finances. She's been very financially blessed in her lifetime. She's always been supported by someone. First, her parents; then, her first husband; and her parents again. Plus, all the money she earns through her social media. Can you imagine being paid $60,000 for a story on Instagram? That's what she makes, and even more for a post. What a lucky lady. She didn't need an education or work experience to earn millions. She's been able to save most of her earnings, as all her clothing, dinners out, medical spa treatments, toys for the kids, makeup, a $5000 bike, car lease, vacations, including family trips to Disney World, Disney Cruises, Club Med, and so on, have been gifted to Birdie.
I can imagine life is pretty stress-free when you don't need to worry about having enough money to get through each month. I wonder if Sarah will try to play the "poor me" card with this divorce? I think that would be a bad idea.
Quote from Shane from the Papaya Podcast, September 2023.
AJC’s husband is the realtor. Interesting. Thought they had a falling out 🤷🏻♀️
Ya it’s interesting. Maybe they get a deal of some sort working with him. He’s made a bunch of $$$ off of them over the years
I’m not surprised! Someone on Reddit says the asking price is less than what they paid in 2022.
Ya they paid 1.6. They bought over asking. I would love to know what they had to put in for the renovation.
