A Bunch Of Wild Aussie Influencer Fuck-Ups That Will Live Rent-Free In My Mind Forever

Do you remember life before the influencer? I sure as shit do not. It’s hard to recall a time when the news wasn’t populated by scandal after scandal that an Aussie influencer has trodden in. Whether they fuck up intentionally for publicity (all press is good press, apparently). Or they do it because they lack the ability to think before speaking and/or doing, for some reason influencers are always finding themselves in embarrassing blunders. But I’ve gotta admit, what’s equally as embarrassing is our obsession with watching said blunders unfold. Here, we’ve pulled together a bunch of ridiculous influencer scandals from the past few years that will live rent free in our minds forever.
