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.

    There were definitely some posts and users that actually did, or encouraged others to spy and report on her in real life. I’m pretty sure Reddit doesn’t want groups of people organizing to harass anyone on their site, and that is likely what got things shut down. IMO anyway

      Hey Shane, listen, when your wife proclaims to be a public figure, asking if anyone is heading to her public event doesn’t really qualify as “spying” - in a public place at a public event that she’s hosting or a part of, that’s like taking “in the wild” photos of celebrities. But thanks for cherry picking comments to get free speech shut down in Canada. Super proud of your fupa flapping wife, are ya?

      We are talking about someone who constantly shares where she is and where she is going to be. She has shared enough information that people can find her exact address ffs. I mean she can’t possibly be too concerned. I did see a video posted from a public event at a mall that people are free to go to 🤷‍♀️
