I’m so glad to see a new place we can convene. She doesn’t deserve to get off that easy ✌️

As someone stated before, Kn1x really “hopped on” last minute and all of the graphics & marketing materials with their name on them were all made in less than a month leading up to this huge event? They just so happened to be ready to release the Birds Papaya collection at this complete surprise opportunity? DOUBT.

The Birds Papaya is a “body positive” influencer marketed towards women. On the surface, the values she pretends to espouse are great! Women feeling confident in whatever body they’ve got! That’s how she hooked so many of us former followers. However, once you start paying attention, it becomes apparent that she is just another capitalist shill trying to make a buck at any cost. She’ll post pictures of her body, with captions detailing all the innocuous things she “used to be” self conscious about - leading the viewer to think, “Wait. We’re supposed to feel bad about the way our armpits look?” only for her, totally just by chance, happen to find this great product that will totally fix X,Y,Z problem! She also uses face and body filters and gets extensive cosmetic work on her face, but lies to say she’s just totally natural and real because she’s so at peace with herself now! And you can be, too, for $29.99! Your friend, the Birds Papaya, would never lie to you!

She also exploits her minor children for content. She has strapped a go pro to her toddler to film content – including ads. She has posted video of her child playing in her bed–when she thought she was alone–from a nanny cam. She forced her oldest to talk about her first period in an ad for period underwear. She talks about where they all live, where the kids work, what events they’ll be attending.

She has completely plagiarized articles word-for-word on her blog. She deletes and blocks anyone that says anything even moderately critical - so do the brands and media outlets that work with her. And now she’s gone and got her Reddit sub, where the evidence for all of this and more was compiled, banned from the platform.

Soo anyway, she sucks and people deserve to know lol

I’d be willing to bet Knix/Joanna has a lot to do with getting the sub banned. Birdie doesn’t have that kind of money or power, but Joanna does.

I think you may need to censor the name 😘 otherwise, yes, she is a CrEaToR alright

Agreed! I think she actually looked gorgeous in the runway pics. But the person on the runway looked like a mid-size 40 year old mother with a square face. The character she plays on the internet is a tiny 22 year old bobblehead with a pointy chin, who sometimes has kids when they make good content. I could respect her if she showed up as that runway model everyday, but she doesn’t, and it’s so gross to lie about it.

Yes!! TBP is particularly infuriating because she reduces women to mere consumerists, whose loftiest goal should be to “wear the bikini”. I saw a comment somewhere on IG that said TBP on the runway, was “the most important movement for women” and I wanted to scream. Surely women are capable of much more! She stands for nothing of importance, but is held up as some sort of paragon of women’s empowerment. It’s so twisted.
