“If you don’t have helpful information for people in this ongoing crisis why are you posting??” the internet asked after influencer Meg DeAngelis’ message.
Canadian influencer Meg DeAngelis faced swift backlash for a message she shared on her Instagram Stories in the midst of the devastating tragedy.
“When I escaped NYC because it was too cold, but now this one is literally burning down,” wrote the content creator“Omg that’s horrible and so stupid. My friend’s house literally just burned down! People have died! Not to mention all the pets and wildlife. I wanna punch her,” one harshly said.“Disgusting, but what else should we expect from an out-of-touch influencer. People have lost everything,” commented another.
After her backlash-sparking post, the 29-year-old influencer shared another post that included a picture of a bright, orange sky with a message of a completely different tone. “Please pack more diligently if you have time, I was just panicked at the time bc I learned a new fire had started near me,” she wrote in the caption. “if you are evacuating, don’t forget a phone charger! also if possible try not to drink tap water within 2 miles of the fire as it’s contaminated. I’m thinking about all of you I love you and I’m so heartbroken for the wildlife, and my friends who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
