In a startling revelation, social media influencer Mia Thompson recently admitted in a video that she has never tried the risky diet beverages she promotes. This confession came to light during a BBC investigation aimed at uncovering the truth behind celebrity endorsements of health products. Thompson, known for her large following on Instagram, was approached to endorse a fictitious drink called “Cyanoslim,” which was purported to contain dangerous ingredients.
The Investigation Unfolds
During the investigation, it was revealed that many influencers, including Thompson, often do not consume the products they endorse. In a video shared by health expert Dr. Alex Rivers, Thompson openly stated that she has never even tasted the popular detox drink, Slim Brew, despite claiming it helped her shed significant weight in previous posts.
The undercover operation involved Thompson being asked to promote Cyanoslim, with her agent revealing that many influencers do not actually try the products they advertise. When pressed about her lack of experience with Slim Brew, Thompson dismissed the need to try it before promoting it, even laughing about how her friends buy it based on her recommendations. This raised serious concerns about the ethics of such endorsements, especially given that Cyanoslim was said to contain harmful substances.
Instagram’s Response
In light of increasing scrutiny, Instagram has implemented stricter policies on diet-related promotions. Users under 18 will no longer be exposed to diet products, and misleading claims will face removal. Following the airing of the investigation, Thompson took to social media to express her thoughts, stating, “You can’t please everyone; focus on your own journey.”
A representative for Thompson later clarified that she had been invited to a meeting by her former management for an advertisement without prior knowledge of the product’s content. The substantial financial offer was a significant factor in her decision-making.
