Model responds to backlash after being exposed for fake business class photo

"This time I promise I paid."

An influencer who was rumbled pretending to be travelling in business class whilst actually sitting in economy has responded to the embarrassing moment by posting a series of Instagram stories and photos which show her actually sitting in business class this time. Instagram model Oceane El Himer went viral after posting a picture of herself posing in the business class area of a plane, before being papped sitting in economy by a fellow passenger. She had shared a picture of herself posing in the luxurious seating area of the plane wearing a cropped hoodie and purple tracksuit bottoms. Not exactly inconspicuous. However she was caught out when someone else on the flight posted a picture of Oceane sitting just a few rows behind them, crammed into economy just like the rest of the peasants slumming it on the flight. https://twitter.com/NobodyCaresBy/status/1396437270798929920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1396437270798929920%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fsocial-media%2Fmodel-exposed-by-fellow-passengers-after-posing-for-insta-photo-in-business-class-275098 You could spot those trackies anywhere. However Oceane has now uploaded new pics of her sat with a mate, in business class, with a glass of bubbly in hand, and flicking a certain finger to the camera. Oceane, who is French, captioned the pics with "Cette fois ci promis j'ai payé," which, for the non-french speakers among you, translates to "this time I promise I paid." https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqgvL5oYYD/ After her initial sneaky economy flight made its way round the internet, Oceane shared a statement on Snapchat in which she said that she "has no shame in travelling in eco class." In her statement, the model said: "I took several flights to arrive in the south, including one in eco class. Took a picture and I accepted. I fully assume the fact of travelling in eco class, I'm not the type of girl who likes to show her money.
