I apologise in advance for how long my rant is!
In a normal world, people would have the decency to not travel abroad when there is a travel ban in place for anything other than essential travel.
And in a normal world, when someone receives deserved backlash for their behaviour, they would also have the decency to apologise and learn from it.
But we don’t live in a normal world; we live in a world where influencer is king. God forbid anyone says a bad word about someone held on a pedestal as high as Shak.
I can imagine the narrative being somewhere along the lines of “C’mon guys, she has just lost her dad, don’t you know? She works so hard and deserves a break.”
Yes, she lost her dad and it is utterly heartbreaking beyond words. But losing a loved one does not make one exempt from following clear rules and from receiving criticism. Yes, she and her fans may think she ‘works hard’, but she is in a position of immense privilege that most of us could never imagine.
To the majority of the population, working hard equates to long hours in the office/home office, or working shifts in hospital wards or manual jobs, often with kids thrown into the mix and for a lot of people, the added worry of redundancy after a long year of struggles for so many businesses. Whereas, for someone like Emily, a long day would be spending hours making a ‘how to wear it 3 ways’ video for the gram, or deciding which outfits to wear for which (gifted) meal on her holiday in Dubai. Other than her fake designer gear, I wonder when the last time was that Emily actually bought and paid for any clothes or holidays.
Don’t even get me started on the fact she has also had breast augmentation surgery in the midst of a pandemic. I cannot put into words how unbelievably inappropriate and selfish it is to go for entirely unnecessary cosmetic surgery at a time when NHS staff are more understaffed than ever. Stressed, and mentally and physically exhausted, but here’s the Shak with a brand new set of DDs.
The fact that Dubai is where everyone is flocking to, sums up exactly what type of place it is. Superficial and materialistic, money (or eluding to have money) is all that matters.
I don’t like or dislike her but I don’t think she is a fun “influencer” at all. She never chats (unless it’s to promote Iconic makeup 
) she was all smiles for the camera even though she was Cleary going through heartbreak at the time off her separation. I do respect she still had a job to do but in my opinion being an influencer means opening up & sharing a little as well or at least go quiet & don’t pretend everything is rosy. Now she is off on another holiday amid tier 4 & they have to show they are flying business class, she doesn’t share much off her private life as stated above so why does she need to show off every holiday 
Did her dad not die in the summer from Covid?? 
the whole of the UK and Scotland need to ban flights to and from Dubai. The minority of people who need to travel for actual business during these times won’t be flying to the influencer hang-out that is Dubai.
worried about the backlash maybe 
be interesting to see if she posts about her holiday - sorry business trip
