Here’s where we left off, in a little bubble isolated from the outside world called Charnas-land (if you haven’t caught up on where we left off in Part 1™️ of this saga, please do so 👇🏼) https://twitter.com/sophrossss/status/1255901212882411522
We’re going to get into why Arielle still doesn’t get it, but first, a few messages from longtime fans Arielle blocked for different reasons. Many of whom were nurses, healthcare workers, and MAJOR fans of hers.
Arielle went to the beach in a $1495 Isabel Marant jacket and decided to finally wear a mask.
She really loves masks now and wears them in the car. She says they bang pots and pans for nurses/drs every single Sunday. Locals say otherwise.

(Note the grocery store tidbit in the DM, which several ppl have messaged me about)
AUTHENTICITY ALERT 😍 she’s answering Qs (sent by Arielle, to Arielle?) about her ~favorite brands~ complete w codes and affiliate links. Amazon is an existing brand partner of hers, she’s an investor in Necessaire, and her CEO owns Naadam as well.
Remember in my previous thread when Arielle decided she would now be a champion for small businesses following the scandal?

Her comments were flooded w suggestions.

She decides to share a small beauty business “Isla.”

Turns out the founder is a friend/investor of hers.

Dark.
I blacked out names bc I don’t need to drag potentially innocent bystanders into this.

And in reference to the screenshot saying “what do we want to see, you ask?” Arielle asked her followers for suggestions on making her content more “authentic” in an IG video.
In the same video (on May 7), Arielle also announced.. an announcement.

Remember: Brandon still, at this point, hasn’t apologized. It’s been ~5 weeks since the story broke and he got outed as a misogynist who calls women pigs and losers.
Shortly after, she says thank you for the “constructive criticism” from “real accounts.”

Arielle, when you block your real, longtime fans for questioning you, sometimes they have to make burners to continue following you.

That doesn’t make their opinions any less valid.
This Madhappy hoodie is $148 and was extremely easy to find (due to the massive logo on it)!

Nearly everything she’s worn so far has been covertly connected to her pockets in some way.

I will assume this conspicuously placed logo is too.

How can followers still trust her?
FINALLY, Brandon’s apology! 5 weeks late! I’ll let you all be the judge of whether or not he seems genuine.

It was an IG story so it’s now disappeared and no longer available to watch. Funny how they post tiktoks to their grids where they can exist forever tho. Priorities.
Also, as someone hilariously pointed out, love how Arielle “Vanna White’s” him in.

And of course, the messages “upset” Brandon. Aw.

He apparently hasn’t reached out privately to the women he insulted. Most of the ppl offended are prob already blocked by both of them also.
If you’re wondering why it took 5 weeks for Brandon Charnas to apologize (and Arielle to ask for suggestions from her audience), this might have something to do with it. (Tea courtesy of @ deuxmoi on IG)

Once again, they appear to only be motivated by their bank accounts.
More swipe-ups and loungewear sets!

But it’s altruistic bc it’s a “small business”!!!!!

(This sweatsuit is $250.)
Brandon responded to a fan’s messages with “oh ok” then deleted it and tried again. (Another shoutout to @ influencerstruth on IG!)
This is a sweatsuit sold exclusively on Bandier (which she invests in) and Shopbop (a longtime brand partner).
Velcro Golden Goose sneakers retail for around $530. All in all, her ~chill Friday loungewear outfit~ costs roughly $846.

Relatable!!!
Things get darker here. Right when this story broke, someone who personally knows Arielle’s Hamptons broker reached out to me and told me this. I took it with a grain of salt and decided to keep it to myself at the time.
That is, until, many, many more messages verifying the story started popping up. (Once again, shoutout to @ deuxmoi on IG!)
For what it’s worth, Arielle denied this claim during a Q&A.
Tbh, I got really angry writing this thread. This isn’t about “bullying” or “cancelling” people and I encourage everyone to please NOT harass or reach out to the Charnas fam.

I just want to present an example of exactly how *not* to act as a wealthy influencer right now.
Here’s another example illustrating how Arielle is choosing which small businesses to highlight.
