LEFT SIDE IMAGE (black outfit) features The Birds Papaya (Sarah) from a instagram video posted on June 6, 2024. (body slimming filter detected). RIGHT SIDE IMAGE (bathing suit) features The Birds Papaya (Sarah) from a instagram video posted on June 25, 2024 (Getty images, no filter).
What bothers me the most is that she’s gained even more of a following of idiots! “omg you are so beautiful, thank you SI for showcasing a real woman” blah blah . Then she posts pics of her pencil neck and stick legs with her cellulite and stretch marks filtered out?! How is this body positive? And her flock don’t notice 🙄 I just don’t get it. Even though I’m blocked, seeing these edited pics still fuck with me. Like…she doesn’t work out, she eats like shit. Meanwhile I do, and buy the newest and greatest cellulite lotion with no change. Thanks to this group I’m feeling better though. I’m learning how to see the glitches and filtering. Rant done. XO
There is NO WAY that daughter M has legs this skinny. The leg closest to TBP is so narrow, it is biologically impossible. There is no other explainable reason, other than a filter. And the fact TBP is using a filter on her child is so f*cking gross.

For comparison purposes, look at The Birds Papaya’s neck size on June, 6, 2024 (black outfit) vs, The Birds Papaya’s neck size on the Sports Illustrated Swim week catwalk for Knix on June 25th, 2024. I’ve included The Birds Papaya’s photo from a Women’s Health feature (where no filters were used). The Birds Papaya’s neck size is the same in the unfiltered images (pink swimsuit and pink back ground). When the filter is used (far left, black t-shirt) The Birds Papaya’s neck is half the size as in reality. Sarah Nicole Landry a body confidence spokesperson uses body and face filters.
This is a fantastic visual of the mind fuck.
Sarah’s deception hurt my self confidence and triggered body dysmorphia. I had a baby in lockdown around the same time as Sarah. Looking back I bought every thing she was selling so I could capture the confidence she displayed in perfect photoshopped images. Eventually Sarah claimed she had postpartum depression, she never showed any of that until it benefitted her. Until it trended on tiktok. Sarah showed a stunning beautiful face and the perfect stories of her new daughters daily outfits. I could hardly keep myself together. Sarah hurts women. Why do people support her? How dare she take our healing space. Sarah is selfish and greedy.
This is outstanding work and using Alix as the comparison is brilliant!
I think Alix represents a 23 year old top model who trained hard for the show. She’s not telling anyone she’s just like us. Alix documented her breast implants. I respect Alix’s honest approach and conversations about her struggles with body image. Alix appears to gave gained muscle/ weight for the show. I can watch Alix and cheer her on I don’t feel the need to compare. When Sarah filters and edits I beat myself up, I’m a few years younger than Sarah and when I see her skin so perfect, I start to get angry at myself mainly because she tells us she’s just like us and doesn’t filter. I expect my complexion to look like Sarah’s. Seeing Alix inspires me to hit the gym. Sarah depresses me.
Janette too. She clearly works so hard to be strong and it always inspires me to workout too. She’s also very open about surgeries she’s had done.
Hi 🙂you just made me blush. 🙏🏼One thing to note: TBP downplays medical procedures she gets because they are non surgical. Over a year ago TBP mentioned getting a fancy facial–the medical procedure she was gifted- Sofwave- is not a facial. Sofwave is laser mixed with intense ultrasound- technology that had to get FDA approval. It’s not a facial at all. I also had Sofwave, I was told it takes a long time to see the difference. When the treatment finally took, the difference on my jawline and jowels is pretty amazing. I had invasive jawline tightening surgery in 2019 (EmbraceRF) and Sofwave out performed EmbraceRF! TBP always pushes how “real” she is. I think that’s part of what can make her followers depressed. My estimate is that TBP has had equal if not more non-evasive medical procedures and injections than I have. I’ve had a lot. *This isn’t a promotion for Sofwave. It’s great procedure but it’s expensive and requires yearly maintenance. That’s why I’m saving for a facelift. Note: *I’d trade all the treatments in the world for kids and a partner. TBH it’s kinda sad why I still care about this stuff. I have no retirement plan and basically started over in 2023. I need to make up time. In my 30’s I was straight up vain and trying to cover up a life of excess with fillers and Botox. It wasn’t a good look. I’d love to say looks don’t matter in the industry I work but sadly they do. People like Sarah make it even harder. This isn’t my before and after for Sofwave but it will give you an idea.
I always learn so much about the medical cosmetic world from you. It’s something most women keep hidden. Thanks for shining a light on the process. You are beautiful and it’s such a shame your industry places such a value on youth when wisdom comes from experience and that means the older people are the ones with the most valuable information to share and have the chops to disseminate it properly for mass consumption.
You are an amazing soul ❤️I LOVE your posts. I think shining a light on influencer fraud - as you all do here, is beyond important. Thank you
I then placed an images of The Birds Papaya (age 39.5) from June 6, 2024 next to an image of Alix Earle (23 year old model) from the Sports Illustrated runway Miami from June 25, 2024. The Birds Papaya’s body filter makes The Birds Papaya appear much smaller than model Alix Earle.
I then placed an unfiltered image of model Alix Earle next to period panty spokesperson The Birds Papaya (same event, same date june 25, 2024). The Birds Papaya looks a different size on the runway vs the filtered videos she posts on her instagram. By doing this The Birds Papaya could trigger body dysmorphia in her followers.
Damn those abs
