Influencer Kurt Coleman has taken aim at Australian brands.
The social media star, 26, took to Instagram on Wednesday to call out local businesses who he says haven’t paid their bills.
“It really bothers me because it’s happened to me so many times, especially…in the last year,” Kurt told his followers.
‘You work a whole day, 5-6 hours with someone, I am very professional, I have a great time, I always take it very seriously… Shipping [the] invoice and I don’t hear anything,’ he revealed.
Despite communicating several times, Coleman claimed the companies ignored his messages or offered vague promises of payment in the future.
Kurt Coleman, 26 (pictured), is fed up with Australian companies lying and cheating.
“It’s so disgusting and it really bothers me.”
“These are Australian brands that I want to support… it’s really upsetting because I don’t feel valued as a person.”
‘You’re getting used to it, your whole image and who you are [is] through someone’s brand for their benefit and you literally get nothing,” he said.
The influencer said he will remind companies that payment is still pending, so that they insist: “It’s coming, it’s coming.”
The social media star took to Instagram on Wednesday to call out well-known brands who haven’t paid their bills after a hard day’s work.
Coleman added that he is currently managing himself, but is considering hiring a manager to avoid similar problems in the future.
He did not name or shame brands, despite commenters on the post asking him to do so.
It comes after Kurt revealed that he underwent several cosmetic procedures when he was a teenager because people around him told him to.
“You work a whole day, 5 or 6 hours with someone, I am very professional, I have a great time, I always take it very seriously… I send an invoice and I don’t hear anything,” he revealed.
In a YouTube video, Kurt admitted that he lost sight of who he was after his lips became swollen at such a young age.
He showed his followers a photo of himself and said: “I was losing who I was.” I went and had so many lip fillers done that I’m showing you this photo I posted the other day because I couldn’t believe it.
‘Obviously that’s really bad. Around that time, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, “I don’t even know myself anymore, that’s not me.”
“I didn’t feel like myself and it was the moment, 2015, when I started to not feel like myself and I didn’t know what I wanted.
“I was basically being this to everyone else.”
Kurt insisted he’s not against lip fillers, but personally regrets getting them “so young” and said he’s “proud to be 100 percent natural now.”
Despite communicating several times, Coleman claimed the companies ignored his messages or offered vague promises of payment in the future.
