Instagram star Essena O'Neill calls out fake social media couples

Social media and selfie queen who sensationally quit Instagram was approached by male supermodel to become a couple - to boost followers

The teenage Instagram star with more than half a million followers who sensationally quit the social media platform last week has now turned her attention to fake online couples.

The 18-year-old Australian Essena O'Neill hit headlines for replacing captions on her popular Instagram photos with more realistic descriptions of the shots, before deleting almost 2,000 pictures and describing them as "contrived perfection made to get attention".
