Kobi Kihara has deleted most of the plagiarized photos from her Instagram page and issued a statement on the same.
What’s funny is that she took a photo of a child (@Kaddyjwalton), gave her a new name (Dream) and posted her as a cute child that she met in a restaurant.
The former Better Living host posted an explanation on her Instagram from a post she made last year explaining her posts.
She said that as public figures, some of them have an obsession for approval and validation, while lacking transparency and authenticity.
Hey you….listen, my page is curated, I’m a photographer & a creative so it’s easy to pull off plus most photos are borrowed, I see it as my online gallery, so don’t be fooled my friend. Most of us have been met with an obsession for approval and validation, while lacking transparency and authenticity. We are pressured to work angles, pose perfectly, use filters, crop away our insecurities, and edit our flaws to create a reality that ceases to exist….don’t believe the hype, don’t get sucked in, most of my REAL life doesn’t make it onto social media and those who really know me, know that…Live an authentic life, I’m striving towards that on a daily basis and I hope I make it ?? #DontGetSuckedIn #ComparisonStealsJoy #LoveThyself #InstaLife #KobiWithAnEye
In her latest post, she apologizes to everyone that she may have misled.
She acknowledged that she she may have been carried away by the posts and asked for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry to everyone who I mislead, forgive me. I should have thought twice perhaps and I guess it got away from me.” she posted.
But really, child, it’s never that serious.
