Cassidy McGill, a former Love Island Australia competitor, opened out about her life as an influencer, admitting she changed residences to ‘keep up appearances’.
When asked about her current living circumstances, the 27-year-old social media sensation offered some hard facts during an Instagram Q&A.
She moved into an opulent beachfront flat in Sydney, claiming it was only to wow her admirers on her Instagram account, which has over 350 thousand followers.
In a confessional tape she published on Wednesday, she added that she thought ‘social media is a f**king lie’ after followers inquired why she wasn’t ‘in love’ with her apartment anymore.
The internet celebrity continued explaining: ‘I’m about to offload something that’s been plaguing my mind for a while.
‘When I moved into this apartment, I think I felt as if I had something to prove. I was getting a lot of pressure about not having started my own business and not seeming successful.

‘People were asking what my next steps were in my career. I had just bought my dream car so I guess I wanted to keep going.
‘I needed to move because my car didn’t fit in my current space and when I found this apartment I thought this might be flashy enough to appease people.
‘I’ve found it really hard to be naturally in love with this space and call it home. It’s an absolute waste of money.
‘But if I move out of this space into something not as nice I don’t want to have to constantly defend my decision and explain it was a choice and not because I’m broke or whatever these keyboard warriors will come up with.
‘Everyone’s idea of success is different… social media is such a f**king lie’.
Cassidy was a contestant on the first season of Love Island Australia 2018 and rose to celebrity online after leaving the famous reality dating show.
According to Heat World, the star has previously shared her feelings on life as an influencer saying: ‘The way I look at it, you have your job, you have however many bosses, you maybe have a review once a month where they give you some feedback, some constructive criticism, they give you some praise and you move on from there.
‘I have 260,000 bosses essentially, sometimes I even put your happiness and needs in front of what I would actually like to post because I know what you guys like as opposed to what I like.
‘So it’s a hard job, it never stops but you know we do it anyway.
‘I just want to give myself a pat on the back and my fellow influencers a pat on the back – it’s a damn hard job’.
