Influencers Are Being Mocked For Their Reactions To Being Caught In Dubai Onslaught

With all the casualties of war in Iran, Palestine, and elsewhere these days, spare a thought for the influencers over in Dubai who have been caught up in the ongoing airstrikes in the UAE city.

They’ve been filming selfie reactions, putting out statements, and hitting out at their disappointment over what was meant to be the ‘safest city in the world’. 

Here are some examples:

What can you say really? The #influencerlife does not sleep. You need to be sharing content and updating your followers whether you’re in a war zone or not. In fact – especially when you’re in a war zone! It’s an attention seeker’s dream.

Naturally, these influencers types are now being roundly mocked on social media. For example…

Just a bunch of haters or do they have a point? At the very least, these influencers might’ve exhibited better judgment and left the UAE before sh1t hit the fan. They probably assumed they’d be safe, but turns out they’re too close to Iran for comfort. Well, those who had a clue things were about to kick off anyway.

Here’s hoping they’ve got enough supplies of matcha and Dubai chocolate labubus to ride this out until Dubai is safe again.

Wonder what Jonjo Shelvey feels about all this…?
