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.

“I’m sorry but it really was not my fault,” she said.

“We were told it was going to be taking off at 7.45 pm, I had not eaten since my smoothie that morning because I had been in back-to-back meetings. I was like ‘fuck this, I’m going to get food out of the airport, it’s two hours until our flight takes off, I’m going to go’.

“I walked out, I did not hear the second announcement that apparently said ‘do not leave the airport’.”

“What’s going around at the moment is, ‘Instagram couple is rinsed by some food critic for requesting free shit for their baby’.”

He then pointed out that Lethlean, being a food critic, would similarly receive free shit all the time as well.

“Because as you know, we work with brands every single fucking day of our lives,” he said. “Which I find very rich coming from a fucking food critic who probably goes around eating free food just to write about how shit the fucking satay sauce is.”

He insisted, “No, we didn’t ask for any free things. Our agency did their job, which is what they’re intended to do”

“So, Mr Food Critic, why don’t you do your job, go back to eating some prime rib, and shut the fuck up, buddy.”
