Thousands were seen rushing to defend a leading TikTok star from Singapore after she received backlash on one of her recent videos.
The star had called a bag from Charles and Keith her first luxury purchase. And that left trolls and others in shock as they felt she did not know how to differentiate actual luxury, adding how this brand did not come under that tag.
The young influencer showed herself unboxing the giant black-colored Charles and Keith bag. She was all smiles and made a video featuring herself getting so excited about the product. But that was very short-lived.
The comments that began arriving on her post were insanely rude. People just had a hard time altogether understanding why she referred to the label as a luxury when it was not.
Zoe Gabrielle who hails from Singapore mentioned how cruel people can be to judge and reign on other’s parade. But the reason why she was so excited and called the brand luxury had to do with the fact that she did not have a lot of money growing up.
Times were tough and the thought of ever entering such stores seemed to be a dream for her. And today, her financial situation is so much better and she’s so grateful that her dad can buy her a great product.
The clip has so far received nearly 23 million views on social media and hundreds of thousands of likes and shares. People were quick to come to her rescue after she shed tears explaining how small things do make her happy. And buying a label like this for her for the first time is definitely major news.
“Yes for many $80 bags are not a luxury but for me, they are and always will be. To all those haters that feel they can do better than me, it’s not a race. I’m happy for you and hope you can be happy for me as well”- she continued.
And netizens applauded her for being so honest while advising her to not get upset at others’ opinions about her.
