Big Brother star turned influencer dings her $120K Merc after filming a bin night hack video
Former Big Brother star turned influencer Skye Wheatley suffered an Instagram bug on Tuesday when she tried to film a bin night hacking video for her socials.
Skye, 29, shared a clip of her pulling her $120,000 black Mercedes-Benz into the driveway while holding a garbage can with one hand, while trying to “lazily” get it back in and off the street.
But Skye didn’t expect the bin to hit her gaudy car and slam the door.
After the incident, the mother-of-two shared a photo of the damage to her fancy car and said she had forbidden herself to ever buy a luxury car again.
“Should I do a lazy s***s guide Ebook?” she joked at first, referring to her upcoming health and fitness ebook.

She added, “I’ll never buy an expensive car again, I’m banned!”
Skye owns a range of luxury cars and in April sold her “spare” white Mercedes Benz for $75,000 to help pay for the renovation of her Gold Coast mansion.
At the time, she chose to rent a $300,000 black Mercedes-AMG GT to get around town.

It comes after Skye broke down about the lack of support other influencers have shown her clothing brand.
The former Big Brother star, who runs the athleisure line Good People Apparel, tearfully told her followers on Monday that she could no longer afford to send freebies from the brand because the company is not yet profitable enough.
She also called out other influencers for not posting about the brand on social media, despite requesting and receiving free items from her.
“It’s just f***ed,” she sobbed as she wiped away the tears.

“It’s actually stressful how much money we’ve lost from what we’ve already spent,” she confessed, before admitting that her business partner has now told her to stop giving free gifts.
“I’m just an idiot because I get really excited about, ‘Yeah, we’ll send you one!’ I want to see everyone in it, and then the people you’ve wasted money by sending it out to do nothing,” she cried.
“And it’s like that could have gone to one of my family or friends who would have actually worn it and told people about it…they would have really appreciated it.”
The 29-year-old said she promised a bunch of influencers that they would soon get tracksuits from the brand, but she was unable to deliver them because she feared there wouldn’t be enough left for customers to buy.
“Sorry, I’m actually getting emotional because I really want my brand to do well,” she said with tears in her eyes.
She also clarified that the line is not yet making a big profit and any money they make will be reinvested back into the business.
