Author:Alexandra MondalekUpdated:Dec 23, 2019Original:Dec 23, 2019Influencer trips that sparked Internet backlash became commonplace through the tail end of the 2010s. And one final incident that made its way toward the top of discover feeds across the globe is, once again, making headlines for all the wrong reasons — just in time to close out the decade.
"If you have any semblance of journalistic integrity, maybe it might be a cute idea not to take money from foreign governments that, um, I don't know, openly kill and assassinate journalists [and] LGBTQ+ people," model Teddy Quinlivan wrote on her Instagram Story, referring to Glamour UK's promotion of the festival as part of a "paid partnership" on its Instagram Story over the weekend.
The backlash surrounding the attendance began to gain traction once people like Karen Attiah, Khashoggi's editor at The Washington Post, criticized the event on social media. Within the fashion set, attendees included: Joan Smalls, Olivia Culpo, Halima Aden, Romee Strijd, Jourdan Dunn, Elsa Hosk, Alessandra Ambrosio, Stella Maxwell, Irina Shayk, Megan Williams, Yovanna Ventura, Lorena Rae, Winnie Harlow, Imaan Hammam, Sanne Vloet, Isabeli Fontana, Cindy Bruna and Hana Cross. Few posted the standard practice digital disclosures on social media advertisements that are required in places like the United States during the Instagram blitz over the weekend.
Martha Hunt and Emily Ratajkowski both publicly stated they were invited to attend the trip but declined, with Hunt noting on her Instagram Story: "I stand in solidarity with the repressed people of Saudi Arabia and refuse to be used as a campaign to cover up those suffering from injustice. I encourage other influencers to make informed monetized decisions based on social conscience and integrity.
