Embarrassing moment ‘influencer’ Suzan Mutesi is caught reviewing her own book and giving it five stars on Amazon to boost sales
Australian influencer Suzan Mutesi has been busted and left a five-star review on her own book, Love after thirtyin an effort to boost sales.
The 38-year-old, who has been accused of everything from buying Instagram followers to photoshopping herself onto private jets, was outed by her nemesis Jamie Azzopardi on Monday night in a series of savage messages shared to their Instagram.
The review, left under her own name, described the book as an “empowering pursuit of self-esteem” and claimed that her novel “resonated deeply.”
The fiction was said to be a “must-read for anyone navigating their thirties with humor and heart.”
‘The book brilliantly captures the highs and lows of dating after your twenties in this clever story. The relatable anecdotes and poignant moments made me laugh, cringe and nod,” it said.
Azzopardi also accused Mutesi of taking paparazzi photos while she was on a date with British actor David Walliams when he was in Australia in 2022.
Suzan last made headlines in July when she found herself in yet another editing scandal after sharing some very glamorous photos online.
The Sydney-based socialite took to her Instagram Stories to share two photos of her strutting her stuff around the city.

The 38-year-old, who has been accused of everything from buying Instagram followers to photoshopping herself into private jets, was outed by her nemesis Jamie Azzopardi in a series of savage posts shared to their Instagram on Monday night.
However, the photos appeared to show some noticeable signs of having been edited, as the sidewalk tiles and drain could be seen surrounding her figure.
She also appeared to have changed the shape of her bum when the tassels on her glitzy mini dress appeared crooked due to an apparent Photoshop error.
One of the shots was edited into a black and white photo, while the other had the natural tones but apparently still showed editing marks with the distorted background.
The review, left under her own name, described the book as an “empowering pursuit of self-esteem” and claimed that her novel “resonated deeply.”
This isn’t the first time Suzan has been embroiled in a Photoshop scandal, as she recently sparked speculation that she had used Facetune in one post.
Earlier this year, Suzan shared a photo showing off her figure as she posed at the gym, but her skin tone looked suspiciously smooth and shiny.
However, the difference could be due to a number of reasons, such as lighting and angles.

Suzan previously told Ny Breaking Australia that she owes all her Instagram images to her iPhone, but also to apps like FaceTune and Photoshop.
‘Sometimes the main photographer [on red carpets]…will not take their lights with them. So not all camera settings are geared for dark-skinned girls or other skin tones,” she said.
‘It also depends on the room. Sometimes the lighting in the room is… like the room is beautifully decorated, but there are shadows and it’s dark.”
Suzan said she often makes sure to use the ProRAW settings on her iPhone before anyone else takes photos of her from low angles.
She then uses apps like FaceTune and Photoshop on her phone to create an enhanced version of her red carpet photos.
‘Of course it helps if you have a good foundation. If you don’t look great, you won’t get the best photo,” she joked.
As for the dark, smoky eye makeup that’s suddenly appearing in many of her Instagram photos, Suzan said poor lighting is the cause.

‘That’s what happens when you have downlights. It darkens your face, but it doesn’t lighten it,” she said of her official red carpet photos.
“So if I brighten that photo, it highlights the facial features and the eyes, but you can also use PhotoTune to accentuate your eyes in a way that accentuates the liner a little bit so you can see exactly what the eye is like.”
Suzan revealed that her favorite editing app is FaceTune, which she will often use for low-light event photos.
She said the Photoshop app is also part of her arsenal at times, but “you have to make sure your photo is in a good setting” before editing it in the app.
“Having these settings before you take the photo can help you enhance your photo because you can’t just drastically go from one thing to the other unless you’re just having fun,” she said.
Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Suzan for comment.
