The Cat

---

Last month, Nashville Instagrammers Tiffany Mitchell posted photos of himself lying by the side of The Road . You wrote that you were taken, after a motorcycle accident.

the dubious But after an initial wave of sympathy from their (then) 211,000 followers, comments began to trickle in. And Then the door is opened really when.

in view of the traumatic nature of a road, an accident, the images were just so... beautiful. But it also seemed to be inconsistencies.

she seemed More Than a helmet. Where was The Blood ? Why did you name-check your tattoo artist in your post (you said, your flowers may need a "touch-up") and - much more importantly - why was there a prominent brand bottle of water in the top of one of the shots?

Tiffany Mitchell has now been accused of the whole thing as a publicity stunt. She claims to have death threats received as a response is reinforced.

her friend Lindsey Grace Whiddon was The Photographer who was with her That Day .

"Looking Back at The Photos , I can see why they seem so staged and if I was not there myself, I can't hardly believe that you were," she told me.

"I can't tell you My Own personal and professional integrity, they were only unplayed, Tiffany had no idea they were until hours later. "

Tiffany later removed The Post and a video to fight back uploaded.

I asked her if she wanted to talk to the BBC. It was emotional, their sentences peppered with words like "vulnerability", "openness", "true" and "healing".

she told me that her friend, James Cloninger, was killed in a motorcycle accident in the year 2016. Some of your Instagram posts related to your relationship, and your grief.

she denies staging her crash, she says, that's what happens when you took a curve too fast on a Country Road in the U.S. state of Tennessee. You and Lindsey sent unreleased recordings of the BBC show, The Police and an Ambulance - a Google search of the image and the data in The Photos themselves shows, they are original.

She Said the Ambulance was summoned by a passer-by and their wounds were dressed, but they refused to go to The Hospital because she displayed all the symptoms of a concussion (although this later).

you can also just put your helmet on the edge of The Road , as soon as she had calmed down and realized that she was fine, and The Other belonged to her boyfriend, The Man in the photo.

"I have no idea how someone could believe that this was staged or to be exploited in order to attention for A Brand , campaign," she says.

"I'm 100% honest about my brand collaborations... when a product is released, because a company wanted me to share it, I each and every time. "

you said that the water was handed to her, and "had every brand".

The brand SmartWater, in fact, owned by Coca Cola. It is not to be seen in the photo above.

"SmartWater you said not in any capacity to be in a relationship with Tiffany Mitchell ",.

Tiffany told me she was "appalled by The Hatred ," the delivery your way for Buzzfeed to publish the story, it says, they asked you.

"It is very sad for me to believe that so many so blind to what you won't read about this, that you consider that you may attack someone who has really experienced a motorcycle accident that caused injuries and triggered a real trauma," she says.

Whether you believe their side of the story or not, the reaction to you can also suggest people are becoming increasingly cynical about what they see on Instagram.

There are still examples of Instagrammers to explain failure, if your posts are sponsored by the brand that you promote, and not a spontaneous expression of one's own personal preferences.

only last month, an Instagram post of UK reality star, Jemma, Lucy was transfixed, signed by the Advertising Standards Authority - it is the label you drink A Brand -weight-loss-coffee during pregnancy.

The ASA said that it will break some of the rules, including the promotion of unsafe practices during pregnancy, but it was not recognizable as advertising. She Said she had not Paid .

Jemma, Lucy banned Instagram post, there was the reality star posing with-weight-loss-coffee

And Then there are those who like to claim they have brand collaborations, even if they are not - in December.

"In the influencer world, it is street cred," Brian Phanthao reporter Taylor Lorenz said.

"the more sponsors you have, the more credibility you have. "

And who can forget the disastrous Fyre Festival, have made the two documentaries now, because - and in the end it was sandwiches with cheese and flooded tents? The operator is now in jail for fraud.

Then what you want to see the trailer really is.

"the public might say they want more reality, but when It Comes to what is shown, to feed them on what the people choose, the embellished, really-version of reality," says Sara Tasker , Instagram coach and author of Hashtag Authentic.

"you Don 't want to see the dishes, The Cat is sick, the Kitchen Sink . "

Living the dream

experts are constantly Instagram seeks algorithms to increase your followers and make you a better market - and that means that there is a popularity.

"From an expert perspective, you want to book, things that the viewers want to see, because it is promoted more, if more people are looking at him. "

the influence of factors also get a harder time than the celebrities in terms of their credibility, Ms Tasker said.

"I think it is an unfair sense that the opinion-makers have no talent for content creation, so that we hold much higher standards in their work.

"In my experience, celebrities are much the worse for the disclosure of brand-partnerships, and misleading The Audience , but not held accountable by their followers in the same way. "

The exposure seems to be, ultimately, it's not done to have Tiffany Mitchell has any professional damage - at the time of writing, it had about 4,000 more followers than it did when I first got her.

she says, you will continue to post.

"I'm going to share how I keep it always and so responsible, like I said, with every word and every image," in your last Mail to me.
