Billie Faiers slammed for ‘flaunting her wealth’ after showing off luxury Disneyland trip on social media
BILLIE Faiers has been accused of ‘showing off’ her wealth by jetting off to Disneyland Paris with her kids.
The former TOWIE star was told by fans that she was rubbing their noses in her luxurious lifestyle.
Smiling beside hubby Greg Shepherd and their children Nelly and Arthur, Billie said that it was Arthur’s “dream” to visit the theme park.
The proud mum was clearly overjoyed that she was able to surprise him with a trip for his birthday.
“We had the best time, sooo much fun but I am one tired mumma Margot stayed with nanny @suziewells_ for the night and we have missed her soooooo much cant wait for cuddles and kisses,” she wrote.
She continued: “The most fun memories made with Nelly and Arthur especially on the tower of terror that’s one we wont forget (we almost had tears then they loved it and we had to go again) so grateful for the wonderful memories.”
But some followers weren’t impressed, especially as this trip came so soon after Billie buying Nelly a pony for her birthday.
“I think posting on all of the wonderful things that are going on in your life is fine, but please be aware, there is people out there that are struggling, and cannot give there children the life that you give your children. You were in the right place at the right time, it’s just overload,” one follower wrote.
“I agree, too much when there are people who can’t pay bills, give some, but too much overloading!” another agreed.
Some raised questions over whether Billie paid for the trip, which she called a “press trip” in her caption.
One fan had a real bee in her bonnet about the trip, writing: “If their children wanted to go, why not pay?
“Why didn’t the company donate the cost of their trip to unfortunate families? Why didn’t they invite a family who has never been away? Disneyland doesn’t need any PR promotion, it’s known for how good it is.”
But some argued, saying that asking Billie to stop sharing insights of her life “is like telling all the big companies to stop advertising.”
“Haha some very jealous people on here ! Work hard play hard i say ! Good on you guys,” another person wrote.
“OMG stop the hate and jealousy Billie & Sam both have lovely families and I love the fact they share so much with us all , Yes times are hard for us all but life is what you make it and you can’t put a price on making memories with those you love,” a third chimed.
Just two weeks ago Billie joined her sister Sam for a luxurious holiday in Abu Dhabi.
Sharing a snap of her youngest Margot sleeping in the first class section of a flight, she wrote: “Margot’s first holiday. Our happy little lady.
This post was also lumped with criticism, with one person writing: “I’m sure any flight is good when your flying business class.”
But standing up for Billie, a follower hit back with: “As if you’d stop loving your life because people are struggling!!how is it their issue?they have the money and lifestyle!that’s not their fault your poor.”
