The Influencer Causing Outrage Amid the Pandemic

Influencer Arielle Charnas of Something Navy has been making headlines during the coronavirus pandemic. People are questioning her decision to document herself getting tested for the virus on her Instagram account and more recently decamping to the Hamptons to self-isolate with her family after testing positive. While I'm not as interested in gossiping or judging, I'm more interested in this situation and the growing argument that influencers are disconnected from their followers and reality. In a world of oversharing, I think this unprecedented time we're in will further put the spotlight on influencers to see who can and cannot relate to their audiences.
