35+ Social Media Lies That Totally Backfired

In the world of the internet, it’s pretty straightforward to accept everything we see at face value. The reason is, many people enjoy showing perfect versions of their lives, even when that means tweaking the truth a wee bit.

From exaggerated truths to outright fibs, these individuals thought they could pull a fast one with their odd and surprising posts until someone stepped in and popped their bubble of illusion. Brace yourself to squirm from the sting of second-hand humiliation!

AJR-U-Serious

We’ve always been curious about what the famous people do in their free time—assuming they have any.
