A British influencer savaged for admitting judging what people put in their shopping trolleys has deleted her account after copping heavy backlash.
Olympia Anley, a second-year university student who gained a huge following documenting her lavish lifestyle, recently described herself as being “snobby about people’s food shopping” after spotting a woman in the supermarket buying white bread, crisps and instant noodles.
The 20-year-old was widely criticized for judging strangers in a cost-of-living crisis, with many labeling the video – filmed whilst sipping a glass of lemon ice water – “tone deaf.”
In response Olympia, who had over 322.9k followers on TikTok, appears to have now deleted her account following the heated backlash.
During her lengthy “rant” – which was captioned “moral of the story, don’t go in front of me at the cashier” Olympia said she was “shocked” by how others eat.
“I don’t wanna offend anyone with this video, but we live in a society that has normalized and literally encourages treating the symptom and not the cause and I wanna talk about it,” she stated. “Something I’m snobby about and not proud of are people’s food shops.
“I was at the supermarket this afternoon just doing my food shop and the woman in front of me – just for context, she might have been having a party, I don’t know if she was going to eat it or who the food was for – but she was loading on all this junk food – white bread, crisps, Pot Noodles, all that kind of stuff.
“And also, a whole load of medicine – pills, sachets, I could not believe it.”
British woman Olympia Anley has taken drastic action after she was savaged for her “out of touch” rant about another woman’s grocery shop while in a supermarket.
Olympia then went on to describe how she looked at what was going into the woman’s trolley, and was able to draw comparisons against the overall state of people’s health.
“Anyway, it was so paradoxical for me and again, no judgment and I don’t know her personal situation, but it really spoke to me about how we don’t pay attention to what we’re putting in our bodies enough,” she said.
“And then we numb it with drugs so we can’t feel what’s going on inside.
“Now I’m no nutritionist or functional health practitioner, but you ingest c**p, you feel c**p and you get all sorts of illnesses, symptoms and diseases that arise from not looking after your body properly.”
Olympia’s “rant” quickly garnered attention, but not for the reason she’d hoped, with many expressing their shock and horror at the comments.
“It’s classism for views,” one woman lamented.
“I’m actually so confused about how someone can be so tone deaf? The audacity and lack of shame to be able to film this and post this,” another said.
One TikTok user, Joseph Marshall, pointed out all the reasons Olympia’s rant failed to hit the mark in his own viral video.
“I just want to remind you, there’s a cost-of-living crisis currently and a lot of families can’t afford their apple sauce from Waitrose [a high-end British supermarket], unlike your mummy and daddy, so yeah, some people do have to buy junk food, because it’s cheaper sometimes,” he said.
“Also, there’s a lot of families out there, parents, who have to sacrifice their food substance for their children, because they don’t want their children to starve, so the parents starve instead.
“There is literally no excuse for this video you’ve made.
“The fact you come on here, TikTok, and talk about your snobbiness of people buying junk food when you don’t even know them is disgusting and sorry Olympia, but you’re a pretty disgusting person.”
Many commended Marshall, stating the young woman was “out of touch with reality”.
“Well said,” another agreed.
“So tone deaf, can’t believe some people are like that,” a third commented.
Whilst someone else noted: “Not forgetting the parents that have to buy ‘beige/junk/processed’ food, because they have ASD children.”
Following the outpouring of anger aimed in Olympia’s direction, the influencer appears to have deactivated her account, with an error message now appearing where her page once was.
She appears to still be active on Instagram where she has just 14,700 followers, where she posts photos of her luxury holidays overseas.
