Social media personality Victoria Rose, widely known as Woah Vicky, has come under fire after admitting to fabricating a kidnap story that sent shockwaves through her fanbase.
The 23-year-old influencer took to Instagram in an emotional video to confess that the viral tale of her abduction and a $1 million ransom demand was entirely staged. Vicky apologized to her followers, describing her actions as a “reckless stunt” that went too far.
The controversy began when Vicky claimed she had been abducted in Nigeria. She shared dramatic posts, including messages allegedly sent by her "captors," which sparked a wave of concern from fans and prompted calls for law enforcement intervention. Her close friend, Rony Fargo, played a key role in amplifying the hoax, sharing updates and urging authorities to act swiftly.
In her apology video, Vicky admitted that the entire narrative, including staged screensh+ts and fake phone calls, was orchestrated to appear authentic. “I made a terrible mistake. I thought it was just a joke, but I see now how serious this was. I’m sorry for the fear and stress I caused,” she said through tears.
The revelation has drawn widespread criticism, with many accusing Vicky of trivializing serious issues like abduction and exploiting her platform for attention. Fans and critics alike have called for accountability, with some demanding that legal action be taken against her for wasting resources and spreading false information.
As the backlash continues, Vicky has pledged to take a break from social media and "reflect on her actions." However, the damage to her credibility may take much longer to repair.
