Influencer Arrogance
There’s one trait that keeps showing up with a certain Nantucket influencer and the people around her, and it’s stronger than ever: pure ignorance.
Recently on a podcast she complained about Nantucket turning into the Hamptons. That take is wild coming from her, because her whole circle is one of the most Hamptons-coded groups you’ll find on the island. She posted a video of her brother and friends at Cru waving around a thick stack of $100 bills and sticking them in their mouths. That behavior is the complete opposite of what Nantucket has always been about. This island has long valued self-respect, respect for others, and a certain level of class. What she’s showing is the exact opposite.
Then she tried to justify it by saying “we’ve always done this since we were kids.” That doesn’t make it okay. It just means the entitlement has been running unchecked for a long time.
She also got triggered by the whole “no influencers” drama and completely lacks the self-awareness to realize that people like her; loud, flashy, and constantly broadcasting every flex, are a big part of why that backlash exists in the first place. She’s the type who will preach one set of values and then do the total opposite the second it benefits her.
One of the reasons so many of us love this island is that regardless of its reputation it’s still welcoming. Locals will wave to you on the ferry and treat visitors kindly in town. Nantucket has a special, respectful vibe that a lot of people work hard to protect.
