17 Influencers Who Got Immediately Called Out On Their BS

So. Much. Mess.

The influencer industry is a messy one. It feels like every day, someone is getting called out for saying something incredibly out-of-touch, for photoshopping their pics, or starting fights online.

But if there's one thing people on the internet are going to do, it's call out bullshit when they see it.

Here are some of the best times that influencers got pulled up after acting out:

1. YouTuber Haley Pham was labeled as entitled for saying that her holiday to Greece was "not fun."

4. Swedish Instagrammer Johanna Olsson was dragged for uploading photos from her Paris trip which were very obviously fake.

5. Meanwhile, a French influencer was caught red-handed while faking a business class plane ticket.

6. Nessa Barrett had to apologize after sharing a video of her dancing to a recording of the Quran.

Influencers and podcasters behind the Foreign Talk podcast, Oliver and Josh, absolutely dragged Houston to hell when discussing the city. "That is the most depressing place," one of them said. 

"It's, like, 50 guys just laying in the streets, probably pumping heroin and stuff," Josh added. "I'm just looking at my homie, and I'm like: 'Bro, where are we?'" A listener replied: "Breaking news: Large city has homeless people."

9. Jackie O was slammed for suggesting that shootings are more common in cheaper movie theaters.
