Ellie Gonsalves went viral early last year after sharing her list of 118 reasons why she doesn’t want to have children on social media.
But now the 34-year-old Australian actress and model has been causing a stir online for a very different reason.
The influencer recently took to Instagram to promote a weight loss program, but in the photos Ellie appeared to use a photo from when she was 15 as her “before” representation.
Instagram account Influencer Updates made the connection on Monday by sharing a screenshot of Ellie’s post.
The post showed her in red lingerie and then looking slimmer in a tiny swimsuit, showing off her progress.
‘Designed by industry experts and with me as the “test subject,” this program took me from feeling unhealthy and drained of energy (left) to feeling like the best version of myself (right).’
In the caption, Influencer Updates wrote: ‘Ellie Gonsalves uses a photo of herself at age 19 (she’s currently 34) as her “before” for her eBook.’

‘I“While some of the things on my list are satirical, many are serious and factual. The social pressure when it comes to this topic is truly questionable and I think it is unfair to those who have different opinions,” she said of the list.
“Very rarely do we see a voice supporting this, because let’s be honest, the public reaction can be too much,” the influencer added.
Ellie married her long-term partner, businessman Ross Scutts, in two lavish ceremonies in March.
The official nuptials took place at the La Luna floating beach club on the Gold Coast in an intimate toi et moi wedding.
