Skye Wheatley has been forced to apologize to her followers after recommending a ‘scam’ to her 600,000 followers.
I’m a celebrity! The Australia 2024 winner, 30, took to Instagram on Wednesday to claim that an account she recommended to her fans was actually a scam.
She shared a message from a follower who had been a victim of the alleged scam and warned her fans to avoid anything she said about the account.
It comes just weeks after Skye revealed how she had bought eye drops from a medical clinic in Thailand that didn’t work in another scam confession.
The internet personality has had an unfortunate run with alleged scams after she also suffered a botched boob job in Thailand in 2015.

In her latest encounter with a ‘scam’, Skye begged her fans to ignore her recommendation of the account and said she hadn’t thought ‘rationally’ about the post due to her ADHD.
The former Big Brother star shared a screenshot of an account offering engineering services that she claimed had scammed her after she tried to get help from them to restore her deleted TikTok account.
Detailing her mistake, she shared, “I feel really bad right now because I’m going through shit and I’m like, oh my god, I shouldn’t have posted what I posted.”
“But because of my ADHD I have what my mother calls knee-jerk reactions, so I do things without thinking about them realistically and rationally.”
She claimed that one of her followers recommended the account to her and said they had helped her restore it after she was “banned.”

Skye apologized as she shared a message exchange with a fan that revealed her boyfriend had been a victim of the alleged scammer.
“Sorry for posting guys,” Skye captioned a screenshot of her exchange with her follower while apologizing for her recommendation.
She continued: ‘Now I have to live with this guilt, if he took someone else’s money.
‘Damn, I feel sick to my stomach. I 100 percent thought it was going to help me. It’s a scam, guys, and I paid him $300.’
Their latest unfortunate encounter comes after Skye was reportedly scammed after purchasing eye drops from an apparent medical clinic in Thailand after finding them on TikTok.
Skye apologized as she shared a message exchange with a fan that revealed her boyfriend had been a victim of the alleged scammer.
He was trying to treat his pinguecula, a harmless, yellowish raised growth on the white of the eye that can cause redness and irritation. It is believed to be caused by exposure to the sun, wind and dust.
Skye used the product she bought in Thailand for five months without any results and realized it might have been a scam after she received no response from the clinic on the phone.
Sisters Amy, Sophie and Kate Taeuber spoke about the ordeal on their podcast, Outspoken, and questioned Skye for trusting TikTok’s medical advice.
“I think it’s crazy that I used eye drops for five months, it made me feel so bad when I heard that,” they shared.
“It’s not the victim’s fault but I can’t believe I bought from this TikTok, it seemed like a scam.”
It comes after Skye reportedly purchased eye drops from an apparent medical clinic in Thailand after finding them on TikTok.
The hosts explained that Skye has an ophthalmologist in Australia, but she was told her condition is not serious enough to undergo surgery, leaving her looking for other solutions.
In 2015, Skye also suffered a botched breast job in Thailand that left her with a “double bubble,” when a breast implant sits lower than the original crease of the breast.
She had another breast augmentation late last year after spending years trying to fix the botched surgery, which was performed after striking a promotional deal with a medical tourism company in Thailand.
After the failed surgery, Skye wanted to have larger implants inserted to avoid having to have a breast lift to try to fix her “double bubble.”
On her Instagram Stories in December, the Big Brother star said she was happy with the results of her second surgery to fix her botched boob job.
In 2015, Skye also suffered a botched boob job in Thailand that left her with a ‘double bubble’ and has since undergone corrective surgery.
Before the solution she said, “It’s time, next week we’re renewing the girls, I’m going to see Dr. Richardson, she had so many boob pics on her page that I loved looking at.”
‘The plan is I have to go a little bigger to avoid lifting, I wish I could show you the whole deal but I’m doing it with girls in my DMs so if you want to see a pic or video of my tits send me a private message. , we will exchange photos of our tits.’
Skye said she was getting 500cc implants, which is in the upper range for large ones, according to The Aesthetics Society.
She continued: ‘So my right breast is 425cc and my left is 350cc and I honestly feel like they look the same size so going up 75cc won’t make much difference.
In 2015, Skye traveled to Thailand to have her breasts enlarged as part of a promotional deal with a medical tourism company.
Skye had traveled to Thailand to enlarge her breasts as part of a promotional deal, but was left with a “double bubble” – when an implant sits lower than the original crease of the breast.
She had claimed for years that she did not like her uneven breasts, one of which measured an A cup and the other a C cup.
The model hoped the augmentation would fix her asymmetrical chest, but after waking up the next day with D cups, she complained of puckering in the crease under her right breast.
Previously speaking to Daily Mail Australia about the ordeal, she warned young women not to be lured by the promise of cheap plastic surgery overseas, saying: “No, it’s not worth it, don’t stay in Australia.” .
‘If something goes wrong, you have to pay for another flight so it costs more to fix. Do your research, I wish I had done mine better,” she continued.
“I want my old breasts back as it will cost too much to fix them and will be more complicated than if I had them done in Australia.”
