Influencers Under Fire: Love Island Star Vanna Faces Backlash for Supporting Charlie Kirk
LOVE ISLAND STAR SAVANNA EINERSON HITS ROCK BOTTOM: Influencer Gets Dragged for Mourning Conservative Podcaster Charlie Kirk's Death
In a shocking display of hypocrisy, Love Island alum Savanna "Vanna" Einerson has faced the wrath of social media users after re-sharing a TikTok video mourning the death of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. The 22-year-old reality TV star, who rose to fame on Season 7 of the UK's popular dating show, has been called out for her selective outrage and lack of moral integrity.
Einerson, who boasts an impressive 873,200 followers on TikTok and 262,000 on Instagram, shared a video that paid tribute to Kirk, who was tragically shot dead at Utah Valley University last week. The video featured a series of black-and-white images of Kirk, accompanied by captions that praised his integrity and conviction.
However, social media users were quick to call out Einerson for her hypocrisy, pointing out that she had remained silent on several other high-profile incidents in the past. "It's comical how influencers who never speak up about anything suddenly become 'woke warriors' when it suits them," one user commented on Reddit.
Einerson's decision to re-share the video has sparked outrage among fans, with many accusing her of being a "fake" and a "hypocrite." One user pointed out that she had remained silent on several other world events, including issues in other countries. "It's not just about politics; it's about having morals," the user added.
But Einerson isn't the only influencer who has faced backlash for their tribute to Kirk. Popular lifestyle influencer Daisy Keech is also under fire for her Instagram posts mourning his death. Keech, who boasts an impressive 7 million followers on TikTok, spoke out about how she was "at a loss for words" following Kirk's passing.
However, her tributes were met with hate comments and accusations of hypocrisy. Keech responded to the backlash by saying that she normally keeps her political opinions to herself but felt compelled to speak out due to the "evil" nature of Kirk's death. She also reposted a video titled "Something feels so different about the death of Charlie Kirk," which suggested that his passing was a loss for the community.
Keech added the caption "1000% to this," agreeing with the message in the video. However, her efforts to defend herself only seemed to fuel the fire, with users accusing her of being insensitive and tone-deaf.
The controversy surrounding Einerson and Keech's tributes to Kirk raises questions about the role of social media influencers in shaping public opinion. While they often claim to be "apolitical," their actions suggest that they are willing to take a stand when it suits them.
As users continue to call out these influencers for their hypocrisy, one thing is clear: silence is no longer an option in today's world of social media activism. Einerson and Keech's attempts to navigate the complex world of online politics have left many wondering if they will be able to recover from this public relations disaster.
