Free Zia has since apologized after Single’s Inferno viewers that she had been wearing imitations of famous branded products on the show and her social media accounts. The Netflix viewers first noticed it when they noticed a difference in the Chanel top she wore.
The YouTuber has since admitted that she indeed wore and used fake designer products. In response to the backlash she suffered, Free Zia released a handwritten apology letter and shared it with her followers.
However, despite her apology statement, MBC’s The Manager decided to oust her from the variety show a few days after saying it would still be broadcasting her part.
