Brit tourist seething as influencer makes absurd request to little girl in pool
The outrageous actions of a content creator seeking the perfect social media image in Thailand have led a Brit tourist to brand her a 'b****'
A British holidaymaker has hit out at influencer culture for going too far as she urged content creators to let children play.
The comments from @carlyleighgyally on TikTok came as she sunned herself by a beautiful pool in a resort in Thailand.
Carly turned to her social media to express her outrage after a young child who was playing with her dad in the water was asked to move so an influencer could get a perfect picture. She explained: "This family's here and there's an adults only pool literally 50 metres round the corner where there are no children.
"This little girl who's playing with her dad in the pool, she's on his shoulders, she's the best swimmer I've ever had in my life and she's like five. I think it's really wholesome and sweet."
But when a woman arrived and set herself up with a tripod, she wasn't happy that the stunning backdrop to the beautiful pool - a lush green landscape - was being "spoiled" by the family playing in it. "This f***** influencer pointed to the edge of the pool and was like: 'Can you go over there?'," raged the TikTokker.
"'F*** off'. If you want a private pool to film content... go rent a villa."
Much to the dismay of the holidaymaker, the "wholesome" family had moved when told and were now not fully enjoying themselves. "Now they're really uncomfortable at the side of the pool, they're not doing what they were doing anymore," she said. "I'm so annoyed at this b****."
This unnamed influencer isn't the only one to annoy the public - earlier this year another content creator was slammed for asking a 12-year-old boy enjoying the sea view from Bondi's famous Icebergs Pool in Australia to move so she could pose. TikTok users were quick to agree with Carly this time around, with one telling her: "My partner makes it his mission to cannonball all influencer shots".
Another jaw dropping influencer story was shared in response to her video from a TikTokker called Jen, who said: "My fiance proposed to me on holiday and had paid for the hotel to set up an area with flowers, candles and MARRY ME lights. The area was blocked off with a sign saying 'private event'.
"After he proposed, we sat drinking champagne and these two influencers came over and started taking photos next to us! One of them even moved the private event sign out of the way! So I told them where to go."
"Influencers in the wild are the worst people ever," added Carly of her original video. "You can't tell children to move, it is the worst humanly thing I've ever seen anyone do."

Dua Lipa 'blown away' as she becomes emotional during sold-out Wembley show
EXCLUSIVE: Dua Lipa was overcome with emotion as she took to the stage for her first sold-out concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday, admitting it had always been her dream Dua Lipa was overcome with emotion as she fulfilled her ultimate dream. The global mega-star has had a fast rise to fame since she first emerged in the music industry, and she's showing no signs of slowing down. On Friday, she headlined Wembley Stadium for the first time on the first of two nights at the home of English football, before moving on to Anfield in Liverpool. But the British and Albanian star couldn't believe what was happening as she addressed the sold-out crowd who'd flocked to north-west London to see her perform. Fans had been camping out at the stadium since Thursday, hoping to get to the very front row to see their idol deliver her biggest hits. Addressing the crowd, Dua said: "It means the absolute world to me that you're here tonight. It feels really special to be here today." The Levitating songstress continued: "It's been ten years since our first ever London show, which happened to be about 350 people, and I dreamt of a night like this that I get to be in front of 70,000 people. I'm so, so blown away." Dua, who joins a small club of female solo artists to headline the stadium, reflected on her career, admitting she believes one song changed her life, after she was signed to her management and record label. That song was Hotter Than Hell, which was fitting as the UK enjoyed its hottest day of the year. But Dua made sure to pull out all the stops for her first night at the iconic venue with a special guest appearance from Jamiroquai. Dua and Jamiroquai performed an incredible duet of the 1996 hit, Virtual Insanity, for her Radical Optimism tour. Vocalist Jay Kay was rocking a classic black hat with a purple trim and a white fringe jacket for the surprise performance, along with purple trousers. Fans were over the moon with the shock guest and rushed to social media to share their excitement, with one user revealing they "wish" they were at the concert in London to witness the duet. The Londoner joins Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Adele, P!NK and Rihanna as one of the few women to have headlined the stadium. She performed her anthems, including Training Season, One Kiss, Levitating, Physical, Electricity, New Rules, Be the One, Don't Start Now and Houdini. Dua was just 17 when she was first discovered by her long-term manager, Ben Mawson, who said the singer has "it all." Speaking to Music Week in 2020, he revealed: "Dua told me she aspired to be Madonna when I met her, when she was 17, and there was something about the way she said it that made me believe her! "It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive, and that came across. Dua's got it all, so she's unlimited potential." The singer rose to fame with her 2016 hit Be The One followed by her 2017 break-up anthem, New Rules. Since then, she has won several Brit Awards and three Grammys and headlined Glastonbury Festival last year shortly after the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism, which hit number one on the UK albums chart. Her 2020 Future Nostalgia album also reached number one, while her debut self-titled album, Dua Lipa, reached number three. She is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK. The singer was recently named the most played artist across radio, TV and public places in the UK for a second time by music licensing company Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL).

She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour. Just five other women — Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue. Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28. Adele was also 29, tying with Dua as the youngest-ever Brit. An insider told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Fans had been camping outside in North West London since Thursday to see her on the Radical Optimism Tour. Last night, Dua opened with 2024 hit Training Season, and went on to perform her four UK No 1 singles New Rules, One Kiss, Cold Heart and Dance The Night. Dua's family and actor fiancé Callum Turner were also there.

He said: 'There was something about the way she said it that made me believe her. 'It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive — and that came across. Dua's got it all.' Madonna appeared on a 2020 remix of her song Levitating. Dua recalled: 'I was talking with my manager and I was like, 'You know who'd sound really good on this? Madonna.' 'And he said, 'We could send it to her and see if she likes it.' She responded and she was so down. 'I couldn't believe that she wanted to do this record with me. I'm such a fan. It was really exciting.'
