It was only a matter of time until influencers found a way to try to capitalize on the protests against police brutality taking place across the country for Instagram clout.
On Monday night a video of a woman in Santa Monica interrupting a man boarding up his business just to take a photo pretending to be helping out during the protests and then immediately jumping into her Mercedes went viral.
This lady stopped someone boarding up a store in Santa Monica so she could hold the drill for a picture, then drove away. Please don’t do this. #santamonicaprotest #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatterLA pic.twitter.com/lgt2rZogk9

People have been calling her a “classic influencer,” that’s pretty generous. She’s mostly famous for posting stuff like this https://t.co/1cxHxxY5NK pic.twitter.com/x317BkvYcv

Fiona was the first influencer to get caught to trying to get clout during the protests but she surely is going to be the last considering videos are already beginning to pop up of people trying to pose for Instagram pictures during marches.
