OMG, have you seen the latest post from the OD Scoop Instagram account about the disruptive influencers stuck in Tulum after their debauchery theft? It’s endless fun, like the sinking of the Fyre Festival in the Bahamas!
This unsightly saga, featuring a “gang of no-purpose who decide to go on vacation like Ostrogoths”, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took place in real time on the OD Scoop page, our Gossip Girl Quebecois. Anonymous, efficient and well connected, XOXO. With turnovers every 15 minutes.
And quite honestly, this collection of compromising screenshots and incriminating “stories” formed one of the best episodes of Quebec reality TV, hyper embarrassing, but oh so captivating.
Day by day, crisp news came out on OD Scoop: spurious PCR tests with petroleum jelly in the nose, swarm of complaints to the Mexican hotel where the noisy group was staying, bravado against the media, these touristatas sank under our eyes, completely oblivious to the consequences of their actions.
Seriously, what were these night owls thinking when they boarded Sunwing’s Air Cabochon charter flight on December 30? The images first relayed by OD Scoop, then taken up by The Journal of Montreal, leave no room for interpretation.
The elated passengers vape, dance in the aisle, jump from bench to bench, howl like lost, bodysurfing, stall Gray Goose at the bottleneck, dangerous actions that would have amply justified an emergency landing, it seems to me.
Rendered to this level of stupidity and unconsciousness, the absence of a mask and the spread of COVID-19 in the cabin become peccadilloes on the long list of offenses committed in a few hours of flight. And the most absurd is that our amigos have themselves published the videos of their party in the air. Live by social media, perish by social media. Karma boomerang.
Our national pride ended up on the homepages of popular TMZ or Daily Mail sites. A real shame. ” From duct tape and tie wraps work miracles in similar cases. And where were the security officials on that plane? TMZ correctly asks.
Transport Canada is already investigating the matter. Sunwing too. Like Air Canada, Air Transat on Wednesday refused to repatriate revelers trying to return to Quebec. Until the conclusion of the Transport Canada investigation, these people “will not be able to fly with us unless some of the members of this group provide very convincing proof that they did not participate in such an unsightly event. that illegal, ”explains Air Transat spokesperson Marie-Christine Pouliot. According to her, “this type of behavior is unacceptable on our wings”.
But let’s get back to the OD Scoop Instagram account, which struck the first match in this story that ignited Quebec. For the past six months, this page has been revealing exclusive information and disclosers, which in particular annoyed the production team ofDouble occupancy in the West. It’s very rare that OD Scoop gets it wrong. He relies on reliable and connected informants.
“What I publish I check two and even three times. I receive thousands of messages a day and I have to make sure of their credibility, ”explains the manager of the OD Scoop account, a 33-year-old young man who refuses to reveal his identity. A bit like La Clique du Plateau (the website) in 2009. Or like in the TV series Gossip Girl, which operates in the same way.
Before Christmas, OD Scoop had 35,000 subscribers. As of early Wednesday evening, more than 141,000 people were following the account, which has exploded in popularity with the Cuckoo’s Nest saga in Tulum.
Who are they, these reality TV participants who stretched their five minutes of fame? We agree that this is not the best influencer, far from it. We are talking about players from very minor leagues.
Reality TV Double occupancy South Africa from Noovo, there was Karl Sabourin, whose most important feat of arms is to have popularized the expression “here is our home”. AlwaysOD South Africa, we reconnected with Dragos Calistru, who is pursuing a local career as a DJ.
The island of love, at TVA, provided a trio of champions made up of model Anna-Maëlle Laprise, influencer Sandrine Séguin and airplane pilot Isabelle Labrecque. Yes, there was a pilot on that plane who didn’t seem to have one.
In Tulum, publications also show Anthony Jackson-Hamel, a former Impact player who also retrained as a DJ.
In island language, I “slide in the DM” of all these Nobel Prizes and no one answered me. As we say to Señor Frog from Cancún: “Never give up, bro. “
The organizer of the Air Cabochon fiasco, James William Awad, a 28-year-old Laval resident also known by his artist name Señor, refused to grant interviews. He tweeted that “it was worth it” before withdrawing his post and writing that he was taking this situation seriously, that he would try to sort it out.
Getting these poor influencers back to reality is likely to be a lot more difficult than a spicy margarita wake-up day. And the fines hanging from their noses cannot be sponsored.
