Job scams have been a viral issue since earlier this year. Many have suffered from it, like this Taiwanese influencer who was sex trafficked in Cambodia. Thankfully, they got rescued. Unfortunately, the aftermath of their situation has now caused concern among netizens.
After the trafficking in August, Taiwanese influencer Pippi (皮皮) came forward to reveal that she had been the victim of the scheme. Many had praised her bravery then. However, Pippi was recently seen sharing nudes of herself online. Needless to say, netizens criticised her actions and are now wondering if her earlier situation had been a bid for popularity.
Prior to her horrific incident, Pippi had been an influencer who focused on fitness training. However, after her rescue, the influencer focused on sharing moments from her daily life. Pippi had also once admitted to “not being as strong as you think” after her traumatic experience. Her Instagram account quickly gained followers as many wanted to offer their support and comfort.
Unfortunately, it did not last. On 22nd October, a netizen reported surprising news about Pippi. They had apparently discovered Pippi posting nudes about herself online. In fact, she had allegedly filmed a porno video under the name “YeonA”. It left the netizen feeling bewildered and confused.
“When Pippi’s Cambodian incident was a sensation, I felt sorry for (her) when I watched her (interview) on the show. But, I didn’t expect to be (shocked) when I saw (her actions) recently,” the netizen shared. “Although her experience is different from (what she’s doing now), it is inevitable that people would feel superfluous sympathy at the time. Or was it just pure hype?”
The news left netizens in two minds. Some felt that Pippi’s rescue was ‘pointless’. A few even claimed that Pippi had lied about the incident in her interview. However, others felt that Pippi’s actions should not be judged. One reportedly said: “I think these two (issues) are different. Respect the job she chooses.” Another pointed out that traumatised people usually had different and sometimes unexpected responses.
Pippi is allegedly unbothered by the scathing comments. In fact, she’s been responding to some of them on her Instagram with a heart-eyed emoji. The influencer is also continuing to promote her new career on her account, heedless of their words.
