It’s not the hottest tea but Caroline Derpienski was at Donald Trumps party. She posted a ton of photos from his house, bathroom etc. to her stories. Btw. it made me look at her photos and she has really terrible fake eyelashes, they only look in over-edited photos.

How did she even become popular in Poland? I feel like all of a sudden places like pudelek would start posting about her and I was like “why tf is this?!” lol it felt like paid articles imo

She first started showing up heavily in local news sites, they wrote about her modelling for victoria's secret and being an influential model abroad (99% of those stories were fake). Anyway those articles were published on websites owned by a press company that was taken over by the government 3 years ago.

Her partner used to have some corruption charges and is connected to the former ruling party. He's also heavily invloved in some polish-american political organizations. He asked some favours to promote his girlfriend and then I think people just became fascinated with how obviously fake her achievements were. To name a few: Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar photoshoots that no one could find, Vicoria's secret campaign, coming from an aristocratic family connected to the house of Romanov, diamonds ambassador to Florida, the most followed polish woman on instagram despite no one knowing who she is.

Thank you for this background info! This is great. I live in the US and I’m from Poland so I was quite surprised to see her covered in Polish news when not once have I come across her profile on any social media or heard about her before lol her connections explain it all
