Whenever someone does something good for society, you would expect the rest of the world to feel good about it – give them a nice pat on the back for doing their part. But, when someone lies about doing something good for society – you can expect that everyone is going to swarm on them like white on rice.
Take YouTube star Lele Pons. This female comedian has over 4 million subscribers and usually makes the Internet laugh by posting funny, sketch videos online. But, recently, the Internet hasn’t been laughing at her too much – because she’s stirred up some anger after she posted a photo on her Instagram about “donating” her hair to cancer patients.
While it seems like a nice gesture towards children who have lost their hair to such a horrible disease – it turns out, if you zoom in on the photo, Lele’s friend is holding up fake hair extensions. What a d*ck.
It’s one thing to lie about small things, it’s another to lie about something charitable like this – especially when you have millions of followers. Twitter, of course, did not react too nicely.
Care to explain how you chopped off your "hair" and "donated" it @lelepons?? Last time I checked you can't donate extensions. pic.twitter.com/mUvckfllDa

Here was her response, after receiving a sh*t-ton of backlash on social media.

But, again, I’m not sure where the confusion is with this one – because, those are clearly extensions.
