Love ’em or hate ’em, our feeds are full of them. People we’ve never met but know far more about than some of those closest to us. We know every step of their skincare routine, what they eat in a day, how they do their eyeliner, and even the 12 ways they’ve managed to style a T-shirt and jeans. Yes, I’m talking about influencers.

But for all the familiarity we might feel, some of their moments are so cringy, so out-of-touch, and so downright shameless that they remind us these are not our people. And sometimes, they deserve to be called out. That’s exactly where r/InfluencerLounge enters the chat. Described as a place “where curated feeds meet unfiltered shade,” it’s a reminder that the internet keeps receipts. Here are some of their best (worst) posts.

Mom Influencers And Their Special Needs Children

Autistic son dysregulated and aggressive in mother’s car while going to school

Having special needs children and a wife that does the lion's share of the work caring for them, I do not understand what the criticism of this post is supposed to be. Do people not understand how hard raising autistic children is and they think she is exaggerating? This is life for me and mostly my wife, this is not exaggerated at all.

    No, That Is Not A Good Place For A Nap

    Woman and child napping on a cruise balcony over ocean view

    Putting a mattress on a cruise balcony for a nap?? So many things could go wrong here, this just seems incredibly irresponsible and dumb. Hopefully it was just for clicks/views and they didn’t actually nap there but who knows.

    Editing to add: If the mom wanted to do this by herself that’s one thing, not something I would personally do (thanks intrusive thoughts), but whatever ok. To me having her BABY out there with her makes it nail-bitingly scary. And like someone said, it’s kinda gross to have the mattress out there like that. There’s plenty of other fun things they can do to make memories. I think a lot of people commenting saying “what’s the big deal” clearly don’t have kids.

    Lexi Mae Dennis- The World’s Most Problematic “Influencer”

    Woman holding drink with Walmart product label visible, highlighting influencer cringe

    Her content is her shopping NON STOP and dancing in her bathroom with coffee milkshakes. She was buying a brand new iMac, a brand new home gym, thousands of dollars of new clothing, went on a Disney vacation, bought a brand new HOUSE, literally shopped NON STOP while being on government assistance. She got called out for it and basically made a smug video defending herself saying something like “that’s what her tax returns show and she’s able to qualify. If you can’t quality then oh well that’s your problem but it’s not her fault you don’t qualify.”

    She also uses filters to make herself look COMPLETELY different but then will post herself without the filter and you can see how she actually looks. She claims to be a size medium and makes her being a medium her whole personality. She’s nowhere near a medium and you can see that in her unfiltered photos. It’s fine that she’s not a medium but lying about it while linking clothes isn’t ok.

    She also barely has her kids- they’re always with the grandparents. She says she’s a “homeschooling mama” but has no curriculum for her kids and again, barely has them. She can’t speak properly or spell so not sure how she can teach her children.

    She’s also posted a video of her giving her cats Liquid IV then videoing and laughing when they got really sick. As well as her son kicking one of their cats. She seems like a truly horrible person.

    Chris “Solo Dad” Soft-Launching His Wife All Of A Sudden

    Group of people at a nighttime event calling out cringey influencers online

    Anyone follow this dude? For a few years now, he has pulled the whole “I’m a broke, solo dad just doing my best” schtick. Showing himself taking care of his kids and pretending to do it all alone. The wife was never anywhere to be seen and he wouldn’t answer people when they would ask if his wife either passed away or left the family. He would always act like he was clueless when it came to taking care of his sick kids, even though it turns out the dude is a Physician Assistant.

    He eventually began to admit that his wife just didn’t like to be on camera and that “solo dad” just meant taking care of his kids alone while his wife works and that they work opposite healthcare shifts. Then a couple months ago, he announces his wife is pregnant and has been exposing her throwing up, telling the camera that she peed herself from vomiting so hard, etc. since she has HG.

    SO HIS WIFE HASN’T WANTED TO BE ON CAMERA FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, BUT IS OKAY WITH YOU FILMING AND TELLING THE WORLD THAT?!

    Then tonight, he just posted a photo of his wife for the first time on his social media (DCP had posted her photo before and she looks JUST like the older daughter which is how I know what she looks like).

    Am I the only one that finds this weird? Like I can understand having heavy emotions surrounding infertility. But to make a secret playroom for kids you don’t have just seems cruel to yourself?

    SarcasmEnabled247:

    You clearly never followed her, because anyone who did had a front-row seat to that absolute circus. They monetized their infertility journey by squeezing every perfectly timed view and click, ounce of sympathy, and dollar out of it. Then the second people started questioning the narrative, that storyline mysteriously vanished faster than their credibility. And what a coincidence! Suddenly, we’re treated to the never-ending mansion renovation. They just keep the money rolling in. Same circus, different act. The only thing getting renovated faster than that mansion is their storyline.

    Immediate block. As a nurse these influencers are the worst. They come online to try to be the the smartest person in the room. She goes on to say shes seen 3 measles cases and they got sent home. So no big deal in her mind. A measles infection has long term effects that are scary and youd think she'd know that. She goes on to downplay vaccine refusal because most people get them. Did she forget that she had 3 measles patients this year?! All of this to say shes going after Pediatric doctors that post online education saying its a cash grab. OK? So what is she doing then?

    Not Thrilled About This Collab

    Two women in casual outfits dancing and posing in an influencer social media post

    I really found Claudia Ravioli relatable but lately it feels like a bunch of body checks in her videos and I can’t buy the weight loss is simply from the Kevin Hart shakes and mindset. Is it ozempic? But that’s not my main point here.

    Another gripe is how she constantly complains she has no style or nothing to wear when she has a full walk in closet of clothing and frequently does hauls.

    I feel like the money and lifestyle is getting to her now.

    But when I saw her collab with AVERY freaking WOODS. I really got the ick.
