An Australian influencer who allegedly branded one other woman “fat” in a leaked Snapchat video has been dumped by a fashion label.
A video shared by popular watchdog account Aussie Influencer Opinions shows what’s claimed to be Kerri Gribble calling TikTok megastar Mikaela Testa “fat”.
The “public announcement” has since been deleted but not before it was widely circulated, sparking fury online and resulting in hordes of girls calling for Ms. Gribble to be sacked from an envoy role with Australian e-tailer White Fox Boutique.
In response, the brand told news.com.au Ms. Gribble – who lives in Adelaide, South Australia – is “now not an affiliate”.
It also issued the identical statement to upset customers on TikTok who threatened to boycott the business for working with “someone who bodyshames other women”.
News.com.au has contacted Ms. Gribble for comment.
The storm first erupted on social media after Mikaela, an adult content creator, shared a video revealing a lady she had met recently at an event had publicly called her “fat”, labelling the act “concerning.”
While Mikaela – who has greater than 2.2 million followers – didn’t name anyone, it didn’t take fans long to start out sharing the clip that shows a blonde woman in bed with a heart filter on, stating: “Public announcement to let youse [sic] all know, Mikaela Testa is fat in person. Social media is fake.”
Because the video began to flow into, Mikalea was quickly inundated with support, as many branded Ms. Gribble’s alleged comments “sick” and “embarrassing”.
Others began to tag White Fox Boutique, who quickly responded, revealing Ms Gribble is “now not an affiliate”.
“This actually makes me so sick!!!!! it’s so embarrassing that jealousy has now ruined her profession,” one social media user commented.
“What a yuck thing to say about any person else – anybody else. Very very very much highschool vibes,” one other noted.
As one raged: “I’m soo dissatisfied. Women don’t talk about one another like this!”
Others agreed, stating “body shaming” was unacceptable and labelling it “mean girl” behaviour.
“That is so gross of her to do, whatever happened to ladies supporting girls?” one asked.
“Gross, fatphobic behaviour. She should be deeply jealous and insecure to be showing up like this on the web,” another person added.
Ms. Gribble’s Instagram accounts have since been shut off from comments and made private, but screenshots taken from before she went offline show her publicly stating she owes “no person anything aside from Mik an apology”.
It’s not clear where the alleged incident occurred, but each women appeared on the White Fox Boutique Black Friday party in Sydney last month.
Mikaela, 22, wore the brand’s $40.75 “Look Back At It Midi Dress Black”, which is made up of a black bodysuit with black glitter mesh that covers the arms, bust and legs.
On the back, the bodysuit has a G-string detail, that flaunts the wearer’s bottom.
Gold-Coast mega influencer Tammy Hembrow was also on the event, with the mum-of-three wearing a futuristic silver crop top and mini skirt — each a part of the brand’s recent “Party Collection”.
