Gracie Bon has defended photographs of herself among earthquake-damaged buildings in Panama after social media users accused her of turning a natural disaster into a photoshoot opportunity. The Panamanian model says her visit was intended to help affected families and encourage donations.
The criticism followed images posted on Sunday 11 October, two days after powerful earthquakes struck the country. Although her accompanying message urged followers to help, some viewers questioned whether featuring herself among the rubble distracted from residents' losses.
