and what has it taught us all about social media and influencers? has it altered your perception of eg shoppinginstamums and the integrity behind their recommendations?

oh course most are hardworking people but im just saying they are very lucky not to have been picked off by opportunists, with absolutely no safety and security,flaunting wealth around drunk and creating etc. yeah in total agreement KingLooie. Why didn't all these bloody models give some money for the workers, Kendall Jenner got 250 for a live she doesnt need that, could have gone to the workers.

yep, a donation from her would generate great #clicks for her as well - win/win.

(I hope the baby names boards here end up full of suggestions for Mdavid)

I will never look at a bottle of Evian the same way again.

It’s beyond belief that someone or indeed a group of people would sell tickets for a festival, especially for villas (complete with illustration) that don’t yet exist and nobody has bothered to cost any of it or make even a preliminary check as to its viability. They must have just plucked all their numbers out of thin air. Madness.

Waitrose Grin ....yeah didnt his first venture bomb?

This was an amazing doc

That guy Billy is the definition of douchebag

I felt very sorry for the local workers

But the rest of it was HILARIOUS

Jaw dropping

  1. Microsoft Flight Simulator
  2. Cheese Sandwich and Disaster Relief Tents
  3. The man who was told to go suck cock for Evian

😱

Billy may be in prison but all the Zeleb shills got off Scot free

BartonHollow · 23/01/2019 16:55

Oh and Ja Rule isn't in prison because he was as much involved in actually defrauding people as Jamie Oliver is actually involved in running Jamie's Italian

I did think that! Is it MmmmDavid as in MmmmBop! or M. (as in capital M) David, or M'David as in yes Maam? I don't think we got to hear it!
Not only did that poor guy have to prep his BJ giving with mouthwash (also left me totally perplexed, I mean surely, after?) but also get out of his clothes behind a urinal to swap with one of the workers, then lay flat on the back seat of a car to escape! I'm amazed he owned up to it all.

LondonBelongsToMe · 23/01/2019 18:24

I think it’s silent ‘David’ so he gets called M.

staydazzling · 23/01/2019 20:31

Barton in what way was he not involved genuine question was it because it wasn't his money? he definitely knew the dishonesty to some level, that meeting was very telling ...false advertising indeed. Hmm

BartonHollow · 23/01/2019 20:46

His role was purely promotional, he was a face and a name but he didn't charge for or receive payment for the tickets that was Billy.

If he's guilty, then so is Kendall Jenner

BartonHollow · 23/01/2019 20:50

Morally yes he was engaged in a fraud but his argument is that he too was duped by Billy. Legally the case against him was dismissed.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 24/01/2019 15:08

It was a fascinating watch. The longer the documentary went on, the more shocking it seemed to get. For instance, even after everything that had happened, he started up another scam while on bail. I mean, what the fuck?

mmmgoats · 26/01/2019 00:13

quack I could not believe that either. He must be delusional at the very least - extremely arrogant and sociopathic at worst...

SavageBeauty73 · 29/01/2019 20:09

Saw this earlier 😂

For a man of his age the neediness for Billy to like him and the apparent lack of dignity was a bit Confused

Newsername · 29/01/2019 21:27

God I watched this yesterday! I was laughing at the sheer stupidity of everyone. It was hilarious how those stupid rich kids ended up suffering. I mean one of those buffoons actually loaded $800,000 on those fyre bracelets?!! Complete dipshits! It was an actual first world problem personified.

What wasn’t funny was how those poor Bahamians ended up not getting paid for all their hard work.

staydazzling · 30/01/2019 10:44

I did actually feel for them a bit we all know how stupid young people can be especially ones who've possibly had everything handed to them? Yeah Barton I agree you'd have hoped he could have been a voice of reason.
