Court Subpoenas Will Soon Be Issued to Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Other Fyre Festival Influencers

The fallout over the failed Fyre Festival continues to grow.  Now, the focus in on paid social media influencers.

Two years ago, in an effort to promote the Fyre Festival, Billy McFarland paid millions to social media influencers.  McFarland is now a convicted felon sitting in a jail cell.

McFarland paid a number of influencers to promote the failed music festival, implying that they would attend.

McFarland also directed millions towards two agencies, DNA Models and IMG Models.  They represent models like Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski, all of whom appeared in a video promoting the Fyre Festival.

Kendall Jenner also received $250,000 for her promotional work.

Once subpoenaed, they may have to testify in court about the Fyre Festival.

In total, McFarland raised $26 million from investors.  The US Bankruptcy Court has now tried to figure out where all that money went.
