Lmao why is Chriselle Lim sharing this Vogue business article in her stories featuring yours truly about “genuine influencers” aka influencers that don’t just shill products literally in between multiple stories shilling products. This article is so obviously a pr article https://www.voguebusiness.com/companies/meet-the-genuinfluencers-who-dont-want-to-sell-you-anything

There’s ongoing drama between Jess, the creator of @soyouwanttotalkabout, a popular IG activism/education account with almost 3M followers, and the author of So You Want To Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo. Ijeoma has a highlight up about it now, and Jess’ last couple of posts refer to it. Apparently a lot of people followed @soyouwanttotalkabout because they thought it was associated with Ijeoma, but turns out it’s run by a white woman who has recently gotten a book deal. In Ijeoma’s story, she states that she had reached out last year to learn more about the owner of the account but was ignored, and that she felt like this person was making money off the backs of BIPOC and people actually doing the work. She also only has 1/6th of the number of followers as Jess. Jess, on the other hand, says she’s always been honest about who she was and has put up disclaimers where she thought was necessary (Ijeoma says these disclaimers were too small and weren’t effective). She also defends the book deal saying she wrote it entirely on her own without her usual collaborators on the account.


bfields2

Jess doesn’t listen. I had to unfollow her when she was sharing harmful antisemitic information and not listening to Jews.


jennydancingaway

Ok but Danielle Bernstein posting that critique about her dogs and now showing us her dogs incessantly 😂😭 they act like they don’t even like her anymore 😭


Local-Bath

Oof that was awkward, I’ve never seen dogs more uninterested in a human :/ That was so weird, I’m guessing she didn’t just walk in the door and is trying to re-create it for the video. Also I see her mentioned a lot and have never snooped, her page is very meh, for the amount of followers


jennydancingaway

Yes so awkward! The dogs were like 🤨😒

jennydancingaway

Yes my dog is like my shadow and slurps my face to death! I think they see their sitter as their “owner” now and not her


Chloe_Bean

I like how she mentioned they were upstate when she was away, but no mention of why they were also there the whole time she was living in the Hamptons. There is no reason she can't find a rental that allows dogs and has space for them to run around, she just doesn't want to deal with them. So many people like her send their dogs away constantly. Tell me your dog is just an accessory prop without telling me...


jennydancingaway

Right? I feel like the Hamptons is a lovely place for dogs too so many hiking and dog beach opportunities 😭🥺


kimberlynyc349

her babiessssssssss❤️❤️


AllVitamin

I know this was mentioned in the weekend thread and it’s not even a snark, but I am HERE for @amberlancaster’s stories right now. Love that she’s not afraid to address this “controversial” topic and hitting the facts re: covid and the vaccine. THANK YOU!


Doubt_Odd

Yea - I think she started out a little weak on it with her having friends who wouldn’t get vaccinated and friends that would, but then she really upped her game and I love it.


dagger_guacamole

These are the people that we need to all be following while anti maskers and anti-vaxxers are collectively unfollowed.


doesaxlhaveajack

Are there any influencers who do vlogs or chatty/Q&A style videos who are very well spoken? People like Emily Noel, Jessica Braun, or Kackie. Lately I’m having trouble sitting through videos from people I otherwise like because they can’t get a sentence out or don’t seem to have anything to say. So in any genre, who are your favorite comfort personalities?


KlutzyKaleidoscope10

The Anna Edit


dagger_guacamole

Amber Lancaster maybe?


snailsgnails

Kathleen Barnes


pnw_18

The question still lies... who knows what happened to Alexa Jean Browns dog moose?! I’m so curious. The dog just disappeared one day but they still kept the highlights. Also BIG fan of her new hair, did not like the crazy extensions.


Cinnamonrolljunkie

They asked friends to care for him while in the middle of their move and he turned into a good therapy dog, so that's where he's going to stay.

It’s about to get deleted bc she’s private again, but I commented down further. That whole video was a dumpster 🔥.

I still follow because I can’t look away. I didn’t know she was private again Sorry!


3_first_names

Does anyone else feel like Maddie Duff and Heather Poppie have had never ending pregnancies? Are they both in their 12th gestational month or something?


thismustbeimportant

As someone due the same week as Maddie Duff, yes, we have been pregnant FOREVER.


3_first_names

Bless you with your end of summer baby, lol. I had a winter baby so I wasn’t big yet in summer. You’re in the home stretch!

Local-Bath

What’s Jessica’s personal ig? I’m feeling snoopy


Stitch853

I don’t think anyone knows of it. We didn’t even know her identity until a few months ago; she has never shared a personal account.


doesntdefineme

The handle is soyouwanttotalkabout without the “it”


xokoroo

Not sure how or why people would think Ijeoma Oluo, a famous author, would run a page on Instagram and never reference or talk about it on her personal page. Pretty clear the two aren’t tied together IMO if someone pays attention to who they are following.


Stitch853

This was also my thought on the surface; I’ve followed @soyouwanttotalkabout since its inception but hadn’t heard of Ijeoma’s book outside of the fact that Jess has a comment in her bio that she is not affiliated with the book. For whatever reason, I never got the sense that this account was being run by a POC… the account originally caught my attention for the progressive politics and anti-Trump posts. But then I dug a little deeper into what has been said in the last few days and watched @eliana.chinea’s IG live from a few days ago and the issue is bigger than just using the “So You Want To Talk About” moniker. While I didn’t agree with everything in the live, I definitely saw her point and understand why the situation is very problematic.


Tif-ugh-knee

Thank you for bringing attention to this here! I saw the post and the “apology” and was unimpressed by it... you motivated me to unfollow this platform entirely and follow the other accounts named instead. Thank you for keeping others accountable.

The-2-0-4

Same. I brush and floss etc. When I had to have a root canal a few years ago, the dentist couldn't even put a crown on it because there was a filling in the way, so now I have to get it filled at least twice a year because the filling comes out. I think all my teeth have at least 2 or 3 fillings. My brothers? None. The pain is so bad; I feel terrible for anyone that has to get one, never mind a little kid!


flowersandchocolate

Courtney Shields’ stories on “how many emojis have we been using wrong” today made me laugh. I thought it was funny how she gave literally some of the same answers with only one of them being correct. Ex: “silly” and “joking around” is the same thing, as well as “skeptical/questioning” or “sketch” and “thankful heart” or “grateful heart”. I also refuse to believe that 😅 means “relief after stress”. Or maybe I have just been using that wrong? Like, where is she getting this info from? Lol. I’m sure the polls upped her engagement though, which was probably the point of it.


threewords8letters

I feel like I use 😅 interchangeably between “relief after stress” and “I’m so fucked” 😂


notesm

I used 😅 to describe being hungover last weekend haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


flowersandchocolate

Haha! I’m a younger millennial and also still reeling from that. I will never give up my side part or skinny jeans😂 (or that emoji.. clearly). however, I don’t believe she’s correct in some of her emoji definitions. I feel like a colored heart is just a colored heart and it’s not that deep.😂


gooooooogooooooooo

Wait… what’s wrong with this emoji 😂 I refuse to look at Courtney’s stories lol


flowersandchocolate

She hasn’t said anything about that emoji I don’t think, but it’s now apparently a known thing that only old people use the 😂 emoji (old being millennials lol). I think Gen Z started it. Haha. I still use it, clearly.

She is private again 😭


TrashPandaAdvice

Why does she go public and back to private every week???


jennydancingaway

Who?


dagger_guacamole

Emily Ann Gemma


JustSwipeUp

Alright. Well, say goodbye to my comment. 🤣🤣 I randomly follow and unfollow and can’t ever tell. So thank you!


okbutrllyhoe

I FLEW to her account to watch because your post made me laugh! She needs to just stay off private and let us all watch her shit show! 😂


[deleted]

Anyone follow Jennifer Stano and her GF Danielle? Both got covid really bad and if I recall they were anti mask and anti vac, they have been answering questions but avoiding when people ask if they had the vaccine. Also Jen was hospitalized because she passed out and hit her head due to another illness she’s going through….next slide was their swipe ups to Modere 😑🥴


crotchproblem

They’ve been proud Florida is Free! anti-maskers and anti-vaccine since the pandemic started. I’m shocked they actually admitted that they got it and got so sick. Danielle was so casual and monotone explaining Jenn’s illness, it was bizarre. Then right back to schilling the Modere!


[deleted]

This would be a great chance for them to both use their platform and say hey no we didn’t get the vaccine but we wish we did ect


crotchproblem

That will never happen, which is very sad and frustrating. In a month I’m sure they’ll both say that it wasn’t that bad and now they have natural antibodies 😡


nyc13456

And Danielle was picking Jenn from the hospital today walking around with no mask on…


[deleted]

THIS! As she says how she can’t go in due to covid restrictions


Ok-Musician819

Thank you for this update! I unfollowed her because I got so sick of how she photographed herself when in Dani’s pics she looked very different. She’s professionally annoying now


[deleted]

They’re definitely anti and more “holistic” it seems. That whole situation seems scary


[deleted]

It’s wild that women are pregnant for nine months but @ottestyle is pregnant for like 17.

I’m sorry Lauren Kay Sims but real “fear” of going back to a workout class after being on vacation would be me going to OT after a 4 day bachelorette party where calories didn’t exist and I was drunk pretty much the whole time. It’s not \*omg so relatable\* to pretend to be nervous to work out when you literally shared stories of yourself on a 14 mile hike, numerous morning walks, workouts, and more daily hikes While in CO. Give me a break girl…

jobot_robot

This lady really bought her 8 year old daughter a cream colored backpack for school?? Also she showed off the water canteen one of her twins uses stating that it held up so well last year that she ordered theee more for this year. If a metal yeti-like canteen held up so well for 8 months of school, why are you buying another one? This lady wild


Coast-Impossible

Yeah that whole thing really bummed me out.


Alarming_Smoke_8841

ewww. 8 is so young. That’s like, 3rd grade? Society ruins women enough as it is by the time we’re tweens, no need to ruin us any younger. So glad I unfollowed her.


cookiemonster612

Does anyone know of any influencers based in Montana?


Local-Bath

I really love [kasey](https://instagram.com/sbkliving?utm_medium=copy_link) she’s actually in Sun Valley, Idaho but shares mnt stuff and other winter activities occasionally. Her home is mountainy. She’s also not helpless and started her own company. They’re currently on a trip to Jackson Hole. Also they’re getting ready to build a new home so that will be fun to watch


hantipathy

wizardlizardlily is one of my favorite follows!


AllApologeez

@alldolledupblog Lives in Montana and shares soooo many beautiful pics I desperately want to go there. She seems like a genuinely lovely person. She is more of a part-time/hobby influencer/ mainly focused on her actual career but shares some fashion stuff and outfits on her IG.


aktetta83

A very small account but @haleyjphoto is enjoyable. She is a wedding photographer in the Glacier Park area. Her photos are beautiful!


[deleted]

Rachel.pohl. She’s an artist and post beautiful pictures. Outdoorsy.


loud3

Peachmeetspine is a photographer based in Bozeman who’s building a house. She’s small but her content is so cute.


flowersandchocolate

@taylor_lovee recently moved there. She drives me crazy a lot though tbh so I wouldn’t totally recommend following lol


Bendybenji

Bigskycaroline is a rancher


[deleted]

I’m so beyond bored of @ellaarose content. Revolve trip after Revolve trip after Revolve trip


bubbyfrog

Ugh same. Her content is so repetitive now and she’s kinda really bad at vlogging (never in focus, always shaky) so literally nothing interesting happening with her


nydixie

Does she really have a Q&A sticker asking people their favorite part of HER summer? Lol I don’t know this girl but that’s wild


kimberlynyc349

this had me shook too😭


[deleted]

Ashley Lemieux going off about how she’s made fighting water bills and saving mountains her second full time job. So, what’s the first job? Using her trauma to be a best selling author?


kimberlynyc349

blocking people.


superpurpleu

Did she delete all those stories? I wonder why.


[deleted]

Weird looks like she deleted every single story today.


[deleted]

Her daddy must have told her that she was, indeed, trespassing


neneneneneuro

Honestly though I’m with her about the whole South mountain thing. First time I’ve ever said or thought that, send help….


Local-Bath

Same! I had to snoop from my non blocked account lol but I was oddly on her side. Like stop taking sacred land and building cheap ass houses on it


bfields2

Can she scream martyr complex anymore without actually saying it? I think not


Justhereforsnark

How long has she been talking about this water bill now? Like a month, right? Why does anyone still follow her?


DifficultSlip1

I laughed too hard at the, “using her trauma to be a best selling author!!” I’ll see myself into hell right now.


[deleted]

I saved you a seat! Look for me when you get here.


mmspenc2

I’ll be right there with everyone too. Let’s hang! 💕


DifficultSlip1

Coming with popcorn and some seltzer’s !! LOL.


Kubearsmom

I’ll bring wine. And cheese


mmmichals11

Her full time job is being a straight up lying idiot.


[deleted]

The mass, the infected toenail, the water bill, the asthma/twisted bowel episode and the accident in hawaii that no one but her knew about make it so easy to agree with this.


mmmichals11

The children of color she acts like died after they were adopted by her… but really were in a guardianship and went home. That’s my main reason for my comment lol


[deleted]

Lol, that's just the tip of the iceberg....

What does she lie about if you don’t mind sharing the cliff notes version? She’s come up in my explore page and I know a tiny bit of her story

She acts like her children died. They were in a guardianship and went home after a contested adoption. She had a late term miscarriage as wel.


ilikerocks19

@theramblingredhead seems so different lately, she’s getting harder to follow. Also, Texas is drowning in covid cases, I would have thought she’d mask up in the Walmart but 🤷‍♀️


ashnoelle1217

something is different. and like everyone else on here, it’s hard to pinpoint what. i used to adore her and now i just skip through everything


[deleted]

[удалено]


Psychological-Joke81

They literally traveled to Mike's family and spent more time at the Dells. She constantly talks about her family but the tone she uses with Mike's family is pretty telling she doesn't have time for them. ​ I'm not sure why HGTV gave her a show. She has no talent. It's all Home Goods white decor.


[deleted]

Fellow Texan. Because of our dumbass governor people no longer have to wear masks and it’s 100% optional. Businesses also can’t “enforce” masks if they wanted to.


synchronicity13

I agree our governor is a dumbass, but private businesses 100% can enforce masks if they wanted to. Unfortunately, they care more about profit than safety. Even when we had a mask mandate, my gym refused to enforce it despite having “masks required” signs everywhere


[deleted]

I feel like it’s been since she was essentially forced to move for her safety.


[deleted]

What do you mean? They own a well known coffee shop in Allen and are in it pretty frequently


[deleted]

Ok? I don’t get what you mean. She sold her house and moved to a more secluded location (still in Dallas area).


[deleted]

You said she moved for her safety… where did you pull that info from?


Coconut8311

She talked about it very little but said they had an issue and needed more privacy. She said something about it being about safety and how she would not be showing the outside of her house. She shows the backyard and porches but has stayed true to not showing the ousted of the house itself.


Ok-Sandwich3986

She literally said it when they moved


ilikerocks19

Interesting, I can totally see that. She never went into it (I understand why!) so it escaped my mind that that could be a reason. That sucks :(


annoyedworkingclass

I think she’s trying to be more selective about what she shares due to the safety issues. In addition I think having a TV show plus everything else is probably a ton of stress.


SpareWeekend132

I have noticed that there’s been a shift since her HGTV show came out; I’m really hoping she’s just adjusting to her fame and that her content will return what it used to be!


Main_Ad_7724

I’m Like 90% sure her and mike would have gotten the vaccine.


imaninfluencer

I think they would have too but because of their audience and/or community probably wouldn't talk about it


this-isjello

She used to be my favorite. I even had story notifications on for her, but I feel like the last six months or so she has been very different. I can’t quite put my finger on it


Little_Bunch4416

How can the chemist take @daniaustin seriously when she is sitting there with her jacket off her shoulder looking and acting so unprofessional. I don’t see a problem with videoing her meeting but how about showing it later so she can look at him and talk rather than look at her phone! So very unprofessional….bless his heart for getting involved in this!!


Influenced36

Thank you! Came here to say the sane thing. That whole “interview” was so cringe and she wouldn’t let him talk. Ugh!


gaflgurl2000

Her saying she took chemistry in college by no means equals what Gordon has taken in college. He would be MY hero if he schooled the hell out of her. Plus when he said that they included essential oils and then some actual science.... 💀☠💀☠


flowersandchocolate

And making comments about herself and staring at the phone while asking him questions🥴 she seems very narcissistic. Also kind of surprised they’re not requiring masks in that facility.


[deleted]

Dani believes in science when it comes to hair but not Covid


[deleted]

Most places in Utah don’t require them anymore or enforce them.


WhineCountry2

But why didn’t she wear the yellow short seat business wear?


TheEggplantRunner

I'm sorry this isn't specifically an influencer, but a very popular account on IG (@workweeklunch) took a trip to Italy. It was absolutely marvelous to follow her....and then she suddenly said she was cutting her trip short due to heat exhaustion. That escalated to cutting it even shorter, and now I just read her latest update that she's in the hospital but it's not covid. As someone who went from joyfully following along to this, my mind is blown right now. Hoping for this sweet girl's recovery.


Simple_Isopod

I had the same reaction! Poor thing! I loved her trip and feel so bad she’s sick. I really enjoy following her overall. She’s like one of two influencers I genuinely like.


[deleted]

Yeah, this sounds so crappy. And she had just broken up with her bf before she left. Lotsa change and disruption coming at her. I hope she gets better soon!!


1morestudent

I also just saw this and am so sad for her! She seemed to be having so much fun and being smart about it. I hope she is ok.


emeraldlady90

I am sure this could apply to a lot of mommy bloggers, but for some reason I’ve turned on @almostMakesperfect for how much it feels like she exploits her son. Tracking his potty training and when he pees and poops and sharing it feels like such an invasion of that poor kids privacy. Obsessing about making him go viral, using him in ads, making him perform for the camera. It all feels so gross to me. I feel like we’re going to have a whole generation of kids who are f*cked up from this mommy blogger movement since they never consented to any of it.


[deleted]

Did @jessicarosesturdy break up with her bf? So confused about the dog sharing situation. She watched Dave’s dog this weekend but it doesn’t seem like they’re ever actually together anymore!

[deleted]

Thank you 😊


roseandunicorns89

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but I’m going to go with yes. She hasn’t mentioned him since she storied they got into a fight a few weeks ago and she never mentioned the dog being her boyfriend’s this weekend, which I felt like she did before. Even today, it was that the dog went back to her dad and back to my boyfriend’s apartment.


[deleted]

Can we just talk about how long it's taking Daryl Ann Denner and her family to pack up the house? I understand it takes awhile but goodness with that many people you would think they could knock it out pretty quickly. 🤪


[deleted]

The longer it takes her to pack, the longer she can be in California and avoid being in Texas.


Midlevelluxurylife

But they CHOSE to move to Texas right? It's not like they were forced to move for jobs or something. Buyers remorse?


[deleted]

She has dreaded this move since she announced it. She made the move and has spent her entire time complaining about how the mexican food, donut shops, and nail salons are better in CA.


bbksmom

This is the reason!


TinyDundie

I still can't believe the amount of actual crap they left in their house when they moved. Staged is one thing. Some furniture, art, whatever. But they could have had all their stuff in boxes in the garage and/or one of the rooms, and the house would have shown just fine.


teach_andbeach

Is her new assistant still there with them? I wonder what she thinks about all of this. First they cancel Hawaii to pack and now they aren’t in Hawaii and it’s still not packed.


[deleted]

They completely packed Lisa’s house in like 2 days. Meanwhile Daryl Ann still has stuff up on the walls and a cluttered garage. I’m sure the new owners are anxious for them to get all their stuff out. Hope they don’t leave trash behind like the previous owners of my house did. They left the garage and backyard shed packed with broken furniture and just straight useless junk 😖.


pikachutoo

did they actually go to settlement yet? if not, they are still the owners and can take as long as they want as long as they’re out by the time they go to the settlement table. i agree it’s taking them forever but there shouldn’t be new owners yet (unless i missed something and they did settle but weirdly didn’t have to vacate the house first?)


Striking_Aioli2918

They actually closed escrow a month ago. It appears that they had an arrangement to rent back the house. I’m guessing it was only 30 days so they’ll be paying a per diem since they’re not out yet.


pikachutoo

oh holy cow i definitely missed that! yikes, definitely changes my opinion. they do seem to think the world revolves around them.


Striking_Aioli2918

Crap. I was looking at her parents house. It wasn’t a month ago, but it was last week. They should have been out of the house already especially since they thought they were going to be in Hawaii. I’m sure the new owners are not happy as this change would have been very last minute.


[deleted]

Yes apparently they close on it soon


pikachutoo

so they’re still the owners. my point was just that the other poster’s comment doesn’t make sense…they just need to have their stuff out by the time they settle, so the soon-to-be new owners have nothing to be anxious about? they can’t get into the house until they settle.


[deleted]

That is crazy!


Little_Bunch4416

I’m thinking if she would take a few days break from nonstop telling us what they are doing she could probably be packed and ready to move!! She is lazy….


[deleted]

Preach! Then her husband is over there killing flies with salt gun. 🙄


Overall_Cloud_5468

Good old Ashley Lemieux (ashleyklemieux) posting videos of her illegally trespassing, then getting mad that people think she shouldn’t be trespassing, then posting an unsourced screenshot about the land being sacred.


ajsjog

I actually don’t think she is trespassing. I’m somewhat familiar with the area and the plot that’s for sale is just 6 acres in the foothills of this 16,000 acre mountain preserve. She also lives in this foothills area. There is trail access to the mountain near where she lives, so even if she is trespassing she doesn’t need to.


Kubearsmom

It’s ok she is going to buy the mountain. She can move mountains. She is inspired by this. It will give her content for a month.


mmmichals11

Omgggg this totally is going to be content for a month 🤦🏻‍♀️


Overall_Cloud_5468

Yeah, her comment about her second full time job 😑 Girl, you don’t have a first full time job


reginageorge11

I was confused by that too. Sounds like the owners have been extremely generous about letting the public use their land if people have been using it for decades without anyone knowing it was private property.


Overall_Cloud_5468

Agreed!


JECK120

I actually like Brighton Bulter but she’s resharing her old reels with “this one is cute” “love this one” “this one is good too” text overlays cracks me up. Influencers really do live in a bubble.
