They also suggested that grouping people together is not a good thing to do.AdrianaChechikTV@ChechikTv@imane I don’t think most influencers get surgery to lie. Then get it based on their views and can’t tell the world about them as ppl are cruel and worse when they know. So that I turn starts aiding in the whole process as well. Think harder on this. Grouping ppl together isn’t cool.2:49 AM · Apr 16, 2022421@imane I don’t think most influencers get surgery to lie.

She further clarified that influencers pretend to achieve feats by training and working out, but in fact, it was achieved through some sort of a surgery.imane 💜@imane@ChechikTv i didn’t say people get surgery to lie? i simply said that if you have a large audience and pretend to achieve certain results via working out or products when in reality it was surgery, that’s incredibly deceitful and harmful for young girls.4:38 AM · Apr 16, 20227461@ChechikTv i didn’t say people get surgery to lie? i simply said that if you have a large audience and pretend to achieve certain results via working out or products when in reality it was surgery, that’s incredibly deceitful and harmful for young girls.Some users made light-hearted comments about the conversation by posting an overly dramatic Photoshopped image.nopeify@nopeifyaltalt@imane I totally agree.
