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
