An influencer’s engagement announcement has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after her happy post was flooded with nasty comments, exposing a “disappointing” truth.
Melissa Winkler, a fashion and lifestyle creator from Germany with just 3500 followers, recently amassed 20 million views on a photograph of her diamond engagement ring.
But while she declared “forever sounds like paradise” with her new fiancé, thousands flooded the comments section to criticize the modest size of the stone, claiming its “tiny” measurement should have resulted in her saying “no.”
“I wouldn’t have said yes,” snarked one.
“With that ring?” teased another.
While one rudely remarked, “Could he not afford a proper ring … looks like a children’s cheap ring.” 6
