That influencer apology video with the crying and the fancy lighting felt fake to me

I was scrolling Instagram last night around 11pm and saw this beauty brand founder crying about a bad batch of products that gave people rashes. But she had perfect ring lights and a full face of makeup on while apologizing. Her team probably filmed it 3 times to get the tears right. Anyone else notice these apology videos feel staged now?

Used to roll my eyes at people saying this, now I get it. Those lights kill any realness.

Ring lights and mascara that doesn't run, real genuine tears right there. Next time they should just hire a stand-in crier.

Haha right next step is hiring Oscar winners.
