Woman calls out sister for fake Instagram 'hiking' photos, goes viral
Fake Instagram 'hiking' photo prompts sister to tell the truth.
A woman has learned – the hard way – not to lie. At least not when your sister is nearby.
Casey Sosnowski posted a perfectly posed picture right before her hike at Lake Okahumpka Park and Trail in Florida. The trees were lush, the trail was inviting and well-trodden — all the makings of an expertly crafted Instagram snap.
The only problem? It wasn’t true.
INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER PRAISED FOR 'REAL' POSTPARTUM MESSAGE AFTER BACKLASH
Casey posed for the photo – with her arms out wide, holding a water bottle and dressed in athleisure wear – in her own backyard. She then posted the pic online, and tagged the sporty shot with the supposed hiking location. “Nature is the ultimate healer to all our problems,” she wrote in the caption, along with a hashtag reading “nature lovers.”
A screenshot of the original post shows it pulled in likes and comments from those thrilled by the adventurous picture.
However, Casey’s sister Carly wouldn’t let her get away with the lie.
On Twitter, Carly posted a screengrab of her sister’s Instagram post, along with a revealing behind-the-scenes shot of Casey posing for photos — not on some rural hiking trail, but in their backyard.
“My sister said she was going hiking.....this is our backyard,” Carly captioned the pictures.
The tweet quickly went viral, pulling in nearly 300K likes and over 40K retweets as of Thursday afternoon.
