The image of the vegetarian ＂online celebrity＂ blogger was debunked and fans were angry.

　　CCTV News:With the continuous development of social media, "online celebrity" bloggers in fashion, food, fitness and other fields came into being. Some of them share all kinds of useful experiences and suggestions in life, while others use their influence on the internet to mislead fans in order to earn more benefits. Recently, the glamorous image of an American "online celebrity" blogger was debunked, which sounded the alarm for many netizens.

　　Jovana Mendoza, a 29-year-old living in California, USA, declared on the Internet that she became a strict vegetarian in 2013, and gradually became a "online celebrity" by sharing her own recipes. She also opened a personal website and sold various "dietotherapy" courses.

　　However, just last month, Jovana was photographed eating in a restaurant in Bali, and eagle-eyed netizens found fish on the plate in front of her. Angry fans have accused Jovana of pretending to be a vegetarian to cheat money and pay attention. Under pressure, Jovana immediately posted an apology video on the Internet, saying that he started eating fish and eggs two months ago because of health problems.

　　It turns out that Jovana not only eats vegetarian food, but also often eats raw and cold food. He even drank water and didn’t eat any solid food for 25 days. Since 2017, her body has been suffering from anemia, malnutrition, hormonal imbalance and digestive system disorder. Doctors advised her to change her eating habits and supplement protein, an animal.

　　However, Jovana insists that he still believes that vegetarianism is an active and healthy lifestyle and will continue to promote it in the future. Netizens don’t buy it, thinking that it is very irresponsible for her to hide the facts in order to maintain her image on the Internet and package the extreme diet that causes her health problems into a product that is "free of harm".

　　Washington post pointed out in the report that the massive information on social media is difficult to be regulated and regulated, thus providing a breeding environment for rumors and scams. The glamorous image of "online celebrity" may just be a mask created to attract attention. Whether the products or lifestyles they recommend are trustworthy or not needs careful judgment.
