Instagram star slammed for moaning she’d rather sit next to an ANIMAL on a plane than a baby
AN Instagram star has been slammed by parents for a post moaning she’d rather sit next to an animal on a plane than a baby.
Angela Panari, 24, sent a photo of herself on a plane to her 1.9 million followers complaining about a baby crying nearby.
The actress and model, from Indonesia, regularly uploads glamorous snaps from her travels all over the world.
The post translated roughly as “I would rather agree to allow pets to enter the plane than babies”.
She deleted the post after only five minutes, but it was recorded and shared before going viral, and she was quickly inundated with comments from parents accusing her of insensitivity.
One user wrote: “Before you were big, you were a baby too. Do you want to be left at home? Then your parents could invite animals? Think.”
Speaking to Indonesian news site Detik Hot, Panari said: "I apologise for the mistake I made because of my emotions.”
"I was angered so I posted that story. I promise not to repeat this kind of behaviour again and I took this as a lesson."
She later added that she had felt bad about the post upon seeing the mother of the baby.
"I took pity on her because she seemed so stressed out and her baby was still hysterical,” she said.
It is not clear where the model was flying from or to or how long the flight lasted.
Panari began her career in 2010, when she participated in a competition to find a teen model to feature on the cover of GIRL, a prominent Indonesian magazine aimed at young women.
