Bali To Deport Influencers Over Painted Face Mask Prank!
21Bali To Deport Influencers Over Painted Face Mask Prank!
A pair of influencers are facing deportation from Bali over a viral video showed them defying face mask requirements with some imaginative makeup.
American-based YouTuber Josh Paler Lin and Russian Influencer Leia Se showed how they duped supermarket guards with a painted 'fake mask'. Using blue makeup to paint the likeness of a surgical mask on Se's face they were able to walk past the guards and flaunt their handiwork to their hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers.
"Did you notice like no one's actually looking at you?" Paler exclaims. "I can't believe it worked!"
Lin whose YouTube channel specialises in prank videos is followed by 3.4 million fans. However this latest stunt may have gone too far.
The head of the local police branch Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi confirmed that he would be submitting a recommendation to deport the two foreign nationals, on top of fines.
"They are not only violating, but deliberately provoking in public, so it's only proper to sanction them more severely, not just with a fine but also deportation," said Dewa.
