An influencer has been exposed for pretending to be on a business class flight. 

Oceane El Himer, from Bordeaux, France, was travelling from Dubai to Monaco when she uploaded a shot of herself in the luxurious area of the aircraft. 

But later on, a fan spotted the 27-year-old sitting in the economy class area and took to Twitter to call her out.

They posted: “Oceane El Himer in economy lol.”

The social media star was then criticised for being ashamed of travelling in economy. 

One Twitter user remarked: “It’s actually a mental illness.”

Another added: “This is why this generation is a mess.”

“I feel like this has got to be a generational thing,” a third penned. “Millennials and older Gen Z have ‘don’t believe anything on the internet’ drilled into our heads. But younger Gen Z seem to take this s*** at face value.”

Following the backlash, El Himer took to Snapchat to address the comments from her followers and insisted she is ‘not the type of girl who likes to show her money’. 

The model, who has over 846,000 Instagram followers, stated: “I took several flights to arrive in the south, including one in eco class. [A friend] took a picture and I accepted. 

“I fully assume the fact of travelling in eco class, I’m not the type of girl who likes to show her money. 

“Yes, I travelled in eco and business. And so?”

She then added: “Where is the problem, I don’t understand? Much more serious things are happening in life.”
