Instagram Model Under Fire For “Making Fun” Of Indonesian Rice Workers (19 Reactions)

Spread the love

Instagrammer Natalie Schlater has 12K followers and 652 posts under her belt, but this particular one caused a lot of heat online. At first glance, this picture of Schlater in a bikini in front of a rice farm looks a lot like her other uploads. But it’s the caption that stands out. “Thinking about how different my life is from the man picking in the rice field every morning,” it said. Whatever the intentions behind these words, people immediately thought Natalie came across as a shallow, entitled person who was basically saying ‘look how rich I am.’

To Natalie’s credit, she did give the post a second thought. Schlater changed the caption, saying she’s been “extremely misunderstood” and “never meant to come off disrespectful.” The Instagrammer, however, didn’t explain her thoughts behind the first caption that people supposedly got all wrong.
