Fans roast Indy Clinton for 'cringeworthy' display at Sydney meet-and-greet event
Indy Clinton has faced some not-so-subtle roasting following a meet-and-greet event in Sydney.
The influencer, 27, who is the face of haircare label Bouf, was in the Castle Towers shopping centre in Castle Hill on Saturday to spruik the brand.
However fans were quick to slam Indy after she shared a clip of the event to TikTok.
The clip showed Indy dancing with abandon on a Bouf-themed stage to what appeared to be a smattering of Saturday shoppers.
The mum-of-three looked very much in her element as she gleefully sashayed her way around the stage.

'Dream come true, a dance performance to a crowd (who aren't my kids),' Indy captioned the clip.
However, it wasn't a dream come true for many on the AussieTikTokSnark Reddit page with fans labelling the event as 'cringeworthy'.
'I'm having a good chuckle at the deliberate cropping of the line in her videos, don't think many showed up,' one user wrote.
'Also the dancing on the stage was so cringeworthy, kind of like what a teenager might do as a joke.'
Another agreed, adding that they felt embarrassed for the influencer.
'Just saw her TikTok and nearly passed away from second-hand embarrassment,' they quipped.
'Barely anyone showed up lmfao, and the people that are watching look like they're just having a look because they were walking past while doing their shopping and stopped to see what was going on.'
Yet another, who claimed to be at the event chimed in with: 'I walked past as I was shopping and it was dead.'
It wasn't all negative however, with many fans praising Indy's display over on TikTok.
'We need Indy on a runway ASAP,' one swooned while another, who attended, added: 'You're an icon. Loved meeting you today.
'Such a huge moment,' a third said. 'Performing in front of a crowd must feel incredible.'
It comes after Indy was called out for promoting the hair care brand while wearing wigs and hair extensions.
She shared a video to Instagram giving fans a sneak peek inside her new campaign for Bouf Haircare.
The clip featured Indy posing in a jumpsuit while wearing long hair extensions as well as in a short mini dress with a long blonde wig attached to her locks.
Many flocked to the comments to slam Indy for promoting a hair growth product while wearing fake hair extensions.
'Don't get me wrong, this is cool, but also I'm not drawn to buying haircare when the model has fake hair/extensions. It's just hard to see how a product can be effective when we aren't shown real hair,' one person wrote.
'How do we know her fine hair wasn't caused by postpartum hair loss and the hair gain isn't just what happens when hormones settle after a baby and hair begins to grow back?' another asked.
A third jumped in with: 'I mean this is fun but the choice of wigs and clip ins is not giving hair growth brand. There are so many hair growth serums out there lol.
'Didn't Indy used to plug Bondi Boost all the time?'
Despite the backlash, others rushed to Indy's defence and praised her exciting new campaign.
Bouf Haircare co-founder Rachael Wilde has posted a video to TikTok explaining why they decided to incorporate wigs in their campaign photo shoot.
'Indy documented an entire four months of using the product,' she began.
'The overall art direction, that we wanted to go with was to create this moment of juxtaposition. The woman in her chaotic everyday world and life at home feeling like an absolute superstar with this bold volume of her hair.
'An example is someone sitting on a pile of washing but we wanted to make it glam so we are showing a woman in her bold confident self with all this stuff going on in her life.
'We went with really big with the hair just to go overboard with expressing the polar opposites with these two things.'

‘Gut feeling more important than social media likes', says festival promoter
A leading music festival promoter has said 'gut feeling' is more than important than social media likes when booking headline acts. John Giddings, who has run the Isle of Wight Festival since it restarted in 2002, said performers need to be able to 'deliver' to a crowd and not just keep their attention on a phone screen. The 72-year-old, who represents artists ranging from Blondie to Phil Collins, told the PA news agency: 'It's gut feeling, really. I've learned the hard way in my years in the music business that some people might have sold a lot of records, but they're useless when it comes to performing. 'You want to book acts that have a catalogue that's going to entertain an audience for an hour, hour and a half, and, secondly, someone who's capable of performing to an audience of 50,000 people in a field, because they need to be able to project to entertain. 'When you look back on who we've had – Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, the (Rolling) Stones – they're all capable of delivering, even if it's pouring with rain, which it doesn't that much on the Isle of Wight, thank God. 'But you've got to be prepared for everything and it's quality of performance, really. 'I do know artists who've had a million views on TikTok who can't sell 300 tickets at a club in London. Just because all these people want to watch them on socials doesn't mean they're going to pay money to go and see them in a field.' Mr Giddings – who also manages through his Solo music agency touring shows for some of the world's biggest names such as Madonna, U2 and Beyonce – said that as well as classic acts, he needs to keep an eye on the breakthrough bands. He said: 'Because I'm older, we book acts from past, present and future, there's a discussion in the office as to what new bands are coming up, and you're projecting as to what they're going to be doing in the year's or nine months' time. 'I'll never forget when I booked The Darkness when they first started out, they were supporting someone at Brixton Academy, and I went down there, and I walked in, and Justin (Hawkins) was sitting on the shoulders of his roadie, walking through the audience, playing the lead solo. 'I thought, 'blimey, this is the music I grew up on', and then they came and played the Isle of Wight and blew everyone away.' Mr Giddings said he was always on the lookout for new acts, adding: 'If the truck driver comes up with a good idea and it's a better idea than mine, then go for it, you can't be that arrogant to just believe what you think yourself. 'We've got 15 stages on the Isle of Wight, so whatever stage you're at in your career, you can play one of those stages.' Mr Giddings said one of his highlights from the Isle of Wight Festival was Jay Z and added: 'I remember thinking 50,000 people couldn't go wilder, and then Kanye West walked on with them and it exploded, and I turned to my left, and there was Beyonce standing there – I thought 'It couldn't get better than this'.' Mr Giddings said that he remembered the classic Isle of Wight Festival of 1970, which saw 600,000 hippies descend on the island causing the event to be outlawed for 32 years, and added: 'I remember walking over the hill, it was like going to the Battle of the Somme and you could smell them before you saw them.' After 23 years of organising the Isle of Wight Festival, he said: 'I absolutely love it, which is my downfall because I work all the time, I never think I've actually had a job. 'There's nothing better than sitting in an office in Fulham in November and it's wet and windy outside, and you're imagining putting an act on in a field on the Isle of Wight in June, and then you see it nine months later and people are going wild to it. 'It's the most satisfying thing ever to provide entertainment for people.' The Isle of Wight Festival 2025, which is being headlined by Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake, runs from June 19 to 22 at Seaclose Park, Newport.

Jeremy Clarkson meets Australia captain Pat Cummins: ‘I've never been a fan of cricket'
Jeremy Clarkson hosted Australia captain Pat Cummins at his Diddly Squat Farm but admitted that he is no fan of cricket. Cummins is gearing up for Australia's World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord's next week and took the opportunity to visit Clarkson's famous farm in Chipping Norton. The pair also played a game of farmyard cricket, testing a bat that had been made from willow grown on Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm. Cummins, who will lead Australia against England in the Ashes series later this year, bowled at Clarkson's Farm stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland in the light-hearted game. Clarkson watched as a spectator-cum-fielder. 'I've watched every episode of Clarkson's Farm and visiting the team from Diddly Squat Farm ahead of training for the World Test Championship final was a real treat,' said Cummins, who owns a farm in New South Wales. 'The life of a farmer is just as chaotic as you see on the show, and I was very impressed with Charlie's idea to grow English cricket bat willow. Thanks to Jeremy and the team for hosting me.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pat Cummins (@patcummins30) Clarkson said that he relished hosting Cummins, despite his lack of interest in cricket. 'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson said. 'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on. But at least now I've found a way to make some money out of it. 'We enjoyed showing Pat around Diddly Squat Farm, after we had Oscar Piastri visit us previously as well. The only non-Australian sportsman who's visited was David Beckham.' The event was arranged by Amazon Prime, who are showing the World Test Championship live in Australia and also broadcast Clarkson's Farm. Australia are the reigning World Test champions, after defeating India in the 2023 final. Their match against South Africa at Lord's begins on Wednesday. Cummins, who has taken 294 Test wickets at an average of 22.4 as well as contributing crucial lower-order runs, is regarded as one of Australia's finest-ever cricketers.

Conman flogged fake tickets for Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris and Harry Styles to school pals
The scammer swiped walked free from court after pocketing thousands of pounds CONCERT CON Conman flogged fake tickets for Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris and Harry Styles to school pals Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TICKET scammer who targeted friends and former schoolmates in a swindle that saw him pocket almost £2,000 has walked free from court. Iain Glen flogged briefs for major events in Scotland including Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and Justin Bieber. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Iain Glen was sentenced for scamming money from five people for non existent concert tickets 4 He took advantage of Calvin Harris fans 4 Justin Bieber tickets were also involved 4 Glen also fleeced Harry Styles fans The scumbag has been convicted of flogging more than £2,000 in fake tickets but scores of buyers have complained in online groups of falling foul of his scams. The 37-year-old also insisted he had VIP tickets for a meet and greet with former Rangers stars. But his victims called in the police after eventually realising they had been duped by Glen. It lead to him appearing in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week. He pleaded guilty to defrauding five victims a total of £1,665 in a year-long scam from 2022 to January 2023. Glen, of the city's Townhead, could have faced a jail-term but Sheriff Anna Reid ordered him to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work. Emma McShane was his first victim after getting in touch for tickets for ex-One Direction star Styles. She paid £400 and Glen then said he would post the briefs through her letterbox on the day of the concert. He then claimed there had been an unexpected issue. Fiscal Leo McGinn told the court: 'He said he would provide a refund and in the following days he gave various excuses as to why he did not. 'A partial refund was eventually given to Miss McShane.' Calvin Harris hits back with furious TikTok video after being accused of COPYING new single by 90s popstar Glen was also contacted by Nicola Drummond on Instagram about a Calvin Harris gig. Miss Drummond sent Glen £100 to Glen's bank account but the tickets never appeared. It was only after she alerted police that the scammer refunded the £100. The court heard Glen's school friend Michaela Barr bought four tickets for the TRNSMT music festival in Glasgow. She coughed up £290 only for Glen to claim the briefs were provided on a 'first come, first served basis'. Miss Barr was forced to claim the cash back from her bank. Stephanie Delaney - another ex-schoolmate - sent him £130 for Justin Bieber tickets and after repeat messages about a refund he coughed up just £50. The court heard Nicola Cragg - a friend of seven years - was another he swindled. She had contacted him to buy six tickets costing £745 for a 'VIP football event' at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel featuring ex-Rangers stars. Mr McGinn said: 'Miss Cragg became suspicious in August 2022 and asked Glen to confirm the venue of the event. 'Glen said there had been a mix up with the tickets, that part of the event had been cancelled and £300 was owed to her.' The briefs did show up on Miss Cragg's Ticketmaster account - but she never got the rest of her money. Kevin Corr, defending, told the court Glen claimed to have had contacts in the event industry and had been known to legitimately sell tickets in the past. He added: 'He fell into alcohol and substance misuse which was a factor on his life. 'This led to him burying his head in the sand to the ticket arrangements that went on.' Glen has previously featured on the 'Scotland Scammers' Facebook page outing fraudsters. The message claimed 'a broken hearted little girl' had spent her own money hoping to see US singer Olivia Rodrigo while another user claimed their daughter had been tricked into handing over cash for Taylor Swift.
