They expect everything for free because “Do you know who I am?” They’ll stop at nothing for likes, shares and clout. They seem to live in a bubble where the earth exists solely to revolve around them. Entitled influencers are in a league of their own.
Once upon a time, it took grit, determination and either talent or well-known parents to become famous. Nowadays, anyone with a phone, a ring light and a touch of confidence can build a following. Move over celebrities, the real main characters have arrived. We are by no means painting all influencers with the same dirty brush. Many can be entertaining, creative, informative and genuinely helpful. But then there are the rotten apples who firmly believe they’re better than the whole bunch.
Bored Panda has put together a compilation of “influencers” behaving badly. From bragging to being tone-deaf and even flat-out criminal, these guys and girls have embarrassed themselves in the worst ways possible.

“Some of them were harsh, and to be honest, I didn’t handle it well,” he said, saying he was also “new to being in the public eye, and I didn’t know how to handle the criticism.”
“Instead of facing that right away, I made a bad decision and put ‘IED Survivor’ in my bio”.
“That was not true, and it was wrong. But truly, I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart,” he said, holding his hand over his heart for emphasis. “I take full responsibility for it.”

She constantly lies and has made up diseases with fad diets she pushes and false information… Like Lyme disease and Celiac diseases, but then posts videos of her eating food contraindicated with those disease processes. She also pushed electrolytes that she claims aid in digestion, mind you, she shovels food down her throat with barely chewing.

#39 Asking For Donations While On A Private Jet To See A Game Is Diabolical
This influencer has been posting a ton about the LA fires and how they are okay during this hard time, but if you look at her husband’s page, they were literally hoarding a private jet to see a football game. Of course, she isn’t reposting those stories, bad for the image.

#44 Halter Top Drama
This has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen an influencer call someone out for. This influencer posted a video asking her followers if they had a specific halter top she wanted to wear for NYE and if she could borrow it. Some people did have it and asked her for $2k to borrow it. One follower of hers said she could borrow it and ghosted her. The influencer then makes this video, calling the girl out about ghosting her. The girl who has the top then commented and explained how she’s an ER nurse who got off work at 3 am and didn’t mean to ghost. This poor ER nurse is getting shredded in the comments over ghosting her. Mind you, this is all over a freaking shirt.

#51 Influencer Wants Free Food For Collab
I run a small burger joint in HCMC for the past 8 years, and we have a really good following and loyal customer base.
I got contacted by an influencer asking for a “collab,” basically asking for free food, flaunting an account with over 80,000 followers. I did a basic audit of the Instagram account and presented the numbers back to them. Oh boy, numbers were out there, 80K+ follower with 0.4% on Stargaze and 0.27% on HypeAuditor percentage of interaction on their account.
I politely decline to show them their numbers.
