Sydney Gifford

Yeah, and it pays for their life. And what Sidney's claim is that the copying wasn't just, like, annoying, which maybe a lot of people would feel that's where it ends. It also cut into her earnings. She says that she didn't sell as many Amazon products as Alyssa was copying her, allegedly.

She says that she didn't gain the same amount of followers that she would have because perhaps they were following Alyssa instead. And they sort of claim about, you know, you copied what I look like. That feeds into that where Sidney claims that because Alyssa copied how she looks, people were getting the two women confused.

People were thinking that Alyssa was Sidney and then perhaps buying things from her links instead of Sidney's links. Does that make sense?

So that's the crazy thing. They do. They have met each other. Right. Sydney used to live in Austin, where Alyssa currently resides. And in 2022 and 2023, the two women, along with a third influencer friend of Sydney's, all met up in person twice. And the meetings were kind of supposed to be like, how can we support each other? How can we support our businesses? You know, we work in the same field.

We make the same kind of videos. So maybe we can just be friends or be friendly.

And after the second meetup, Alyssa told me that she felt kind of excluded from the other women, like they were maybe making passive aggressive comments to her. One thing she says was they were quizzing me on my strategies on social media. Huh. And... Alyssa ends up blocking Sydney on social media.

Now, Sydney was surprised and kind of confused by this because she thought the outings had been great, right? She thought everyone was on good terms. Everyone was friendly. But she kind of, you know, took a moment and wasn't too offended by the blocking because, as she told me, living your life online is not easy. Sometimes you compare yourself to other people and it can be mentally draining.
