I thought I’d create a post where we can discuss our theories! Here’s mine…

I think when she met with the law firm to convince them to send Janette the cease and desist letter she also got advice on how to shut down her rapidly growing snark page. She knows that the two are interconnected and Janette is getting most of her information from Reddit snarkers/former “fans”. This TERRIFIES her as she knows the truth will eventually come out.

I don’t think Knix or SI had anything to do with it, nor do I think Reddit cares about a nobody from Canada. I think she either 1. Reported based on a (likely exaggerated) violation that she knew Reddit would take seriously or 2. Had her cronies overwhelm the reporting system in a short amount of time. I think the latter is more likely, or at least in combination with 1.

I also don’t think the fact that Reddit is rapidly removing similar subs is related. I think they have tagged keywords that lead to subs automatically being removed, or can somehow see when former sub members congregate elsewhere (even completely private subs are being removed). For this reason I think we need to be careful when commenting about TBP on other influencer snark subs.

Thoughts? I probably didn’t share anything new here but ranged to get it out! Regardless of what happens, SNL will not win as the cat is already out of the bag and it’s the only reason she’s doubling down so hard.

    I think your tinfoil hat works pretty well. I think it’s her, a team of lawyers (and boy do I hope they made her pay out the nose for advice), and all her little cheerleaders who successfully silenced 6,000 people….likely the majority being women….likely lots of minorities in there….and her privilege continues to grow. It makes me really sad that people preach all these so called “positive” movements when in reality it is a mean girl popularity contest. I need the silenced to win every now and then…like at least a little.

      You’re right that the vast majority of sub members were probably women who were blocked or otherwise made to feel unwelcome by her, whether it was for a good reason or not (I myself was blocked for liking a comment saying she looked different on her IG…that’s it). Has she ever considered that her actions drive people further away and make us feel even more justified in our dislike of her? Nice people simply don’t have thousands of people snarking on them.
