Influencer Anna McEvoy fires back at troll who tells her she ‘contributes nothing to society’ after she spruiks a makeup product – see her response

Love Island Australia winner Anna McEvoy has fired back at a troll who told her she 'contributes nothing to society'.

The reality TV star, 31, shared a video on Instagram on Thursday with the caption “Rant incoming.”

In the clip, she shared an email she received on her business website that said, “You're not contributing anything to society,” to which Anna replied, “Actually…you're wrong. And I'm going to tell you why you're wrong.'

Anna suggested that her make-up company Golden Bee, which focuses on easy-to-use, simple cosmetic products made from 'beautiful ingredients', would change people's lives.

'My company makes people feel confident every day of their lives as they wake up feeling radiant… I save people time, making them feel more confident, so basically my company contributes to society', she said.

“Someone who sounds like he or she is not contributing anything to society would be someone who would take the time to message a small business telling them they are not contributing anything to society,” the beauty finished influencer's rant.

It comes after the Australian Love Island winner sparked an online debate after she questioned whether she was bothering the woman sitting behind her during a 16-hour flight.

After a flight to Dubai in August, McEvoy took to TikTok to share with her 80,000 followers about an awkward exchange between her and another passenger.

Anna replied to the troll: 'Actually… you're wrong. And I'm gonna tell you why you're wrong

'My company makes people feel confident every day of their lives as they wake up feeling radiant… I save people time, making them feel more confident, so basically my company contributes to society', she said

The video, titled 'Dirtiest Look I've Everceive', has since amassed over 56,000 views, over 1,000 likes and 38 comments from fans and TikTok users who shared their thoughts on the controversial travel topic.

Anna looked fresh and sitting in what appeared to be an airport, Anna began, “Okay, time for travel stories.

'I just took a 16-hour flight – from Melbourne to Dubai – and it was an overnight flight. As soon as we left, I pushed my seat back because I wanted to try and get as much sleep as physically possible.

Describing how the passenger 'cracked it', the former Love Islander continued: 'And the lady behind me literally cracked it for me moving my seat back on a night flight.

“So at first I turned it back up, and then I thought, no, I have to say something because I want to sleep the whole flight.

Anyway, I told her, “I'm going to put it back because I need some sleep, but you can tilt your screen so you can see it – I hope that's okay.”

Anna then revealed her fellow passengers' dismissive reaction to her suggestion, saying, “This lady Death was staring at me, like she wasn't even answering, she just gave me the nastiest, deadliest look ever.”

She concluded the story by finally asking her online audience, “Am I wrong?”

Comments poured in from fans and TikTok users debating whether the TV and podcast star had really been wrong as they considered the need to rest during a 16-hour flight.

One commenter agreed with McEvoy's position, writing, “There's no way she could have moved her seat back and it's the same amount of space.”

Another said: 'The chairs are not going back for nothing. She needs to get over herself or pay for a front seat.”

A third agreed as she shared her own uncomfortable experience.

'I did this when I came home from Bali. Night flight too. The lady behind me kept making comments about how squished she was, lol,” they said.

Others were on the fence, saying it was more considerate to sit back when the meal was done.

One person wrote: 'If it was after the meal then it's perfectly acceptable,' while another said: 'I agree that after the meal it's OK. But out of respect I always try to only half put it back.'

It comes after she sparked an online debate after reclining her seat during a 16-hour flight to Dubai in August

However, some commenters found the idea of ​​leaning back invasive and 'rude', with one writing: 'Yes… wait until the service is done.'

Another individual wrote: 'Yes, you are wrong! It's rude. It's not about her screen, it's about the limited space.'

Anna rose to fame on season two of Love Island Australia in 2019, winning the show with Josh Packham, but they split in December 2020.

She now hosts a podcast 'Where's Your Head At?' alongside Matt Zukowski.

In September 2021, she became Instagram official with Michael Staples, a Group Business Manager at Channel Nine.
