This headlining case of the England-based TikTok star Mahek Bukhari, which is being tried in court NOW (at the time in which this episode was recorded), is truly astonishing. The twists and turns involved in this outrageous case are mind-blowing and reveal the grave lengths that this social media figure has taken in order to preserve her spotlight on the global stage. We've all seen the tremendous reach that social influencers have today. It’s difficult to avoid their kitschy ads (pumpkin spiced latte in hand) pushing skincare products, weight loss supplements, detox teas, and the answer to all of our prayers. Whether through video reels, stories, posts or live streams, the public is inundated with social influencers trying to....well, influence us. And those who are able to do this successfully stand to make millions of dollars through brand sponsorships and advertisements. As such, the stakes are high and many would likely do whatever it takes to stay on top. Sadly, this notion was made abundantly clear by Bukhari who, in February of 2022, was involved in a double-homicide along with multiple other defendants, including her own mother. Two young lives were tragically lost in a horrific manner as a result of Bukhari's effort to bury some delicate information that stood to threaten, damage or even destroy her public image. We'll walk you through the facts of this case, the players involved, and the progress of the trial...because it is truly devastating. Stay current with us on this one and tune in to hear about an Influencer Gone Wild.
