Instagram Influencer Posted Pictures Of Her Motorcycle Accident, But People Doubt That The Accident Really Happened

This whole “influencer” culture is sometimes difficult to understand. The only reason a person is famous is that she has followers, but she wouldn’t have followers if she weren't famous… It’s like some paradox. Or a question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

It does take some time to comprehend, for those of you willing to spend it on that. For most of us, we just go with the flow.

This lifestyle blogger, named Tiffany Mitchell, has over 200,000 Instagram followers. Recently, she has been called out on some social media networks because she turned her motorcycle accident into a photo shoot that she later posted online. Instagram

While the majority of her followers were writing get-well messages, some thought the accident was staged.

Mitchell claims the accident was real. She stated, “I didn’t know she was taking them, but later on, when she showed them to me, I was so grateful that she captured such an intense moment for me.” Mitchell insisted, “All motives for taking the photos and sharing them along with the details of the experience were good. I’m really sad that raising this topic without all the context may inspire negativity and hatred, but I did my best and hope whatever happens can add to people’s lives in some way.” Some people pointed out that the impeccably positioned bottle of Smartwater was a little peculiar, but Mitchell insisted, “I would never turn a very important personal story like this into a brand campaign. The water was given to me while I was resting.” In response to all the criticism, she posted this picture and clarification.
