A social media influencer who tried to claim her job is 'hard' has been slammed as 'toxic', tone-deaf' and 'ignorant'.
Mikayla Nogueira, who has more than 13 million followers on TikTok, complained about her work day finishing at 5.19pm and being in meetings every afternoon.
'I literally just finished work and it's 5:19[pm],' the 24-year-old makeup artist said in a now-deleted video, which resurfaced last week.
'Try being an influencer for a day. Try it. Because the people who say it's easy are so far out of their minds. Try it for a day,' she added.

Ms Nogueira, from Boston, Massachusetts, said she spends 'five to six hours filming video content that ranges from three to four videos and then I spend a few hours editing that video content'.
'Then I have to work on my other social media profiles, whatever it may be. It's f**king marketing. Then I'm in meetings from 12pm to 5pm,' she continued.
'[Being an influencer] is not for everybody. In fact, it's for a very small handful of people who can actually do this job… You do not want to have this job, just saying.'
