A number of popular TikTok and Instagram influencers have been exposed for faking their luxurious lifestyle by renting a Los Angeles studio designed to look like the inside of a private jet.
Reports of wannabe social media celebrities faking their posh lifestyles have been making headlines for years, and faking flights on private jets isn’t new either. A few years back, a Moscow-based company went viral for renting private jets by the hour to influencers wanting to impress their followers, only the gam has come a long way since those days. It turns out that there are now full-blown studios designed to look like private jets, complete with the appropriate lighting, and several notable influencers have been using them to deceive their fans.

On September 25, a list of social media influencers, including The 7 Angels, who have 274,000 followers on TikTok, and Kennedy Cymone, who has 1.6 million followers on Instagram, who used the fake jet studio started circulating on Twitter. After doing a bit of digging, users found that the place was located in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, and was available for rent for groups of up to nine people, for $64 an hour.
