Australia Day 2023: TikTok influencer Fidan Shevket targeted by Invasion Day ... trends now
A TikTok influencer and divorce lawyer has been savagely targeted by vicious trolls just for telling her 131,000 followers about a restaurant's Australia Day deal.
Fidan Shevket - who posts as Fidan_tok - recorded a paid restaurant review on the social media platform and revealed its free prawn cocktail deal for Australia Day.
She says in the video: 'This Australia Day, January 26, if you book a table at Kickin' Inn restaurants, any of them, you will get a free shrimp martini on the house.
'I have to inform you of that as that's part of the collab-thing - full disclosure.'
Thirty seconds later in the video, she shows the starter and adds: 'This is the shrimp martini. Look at the size of this f***ing thing!
'You get one of these for free if you book for Australia Day, okay?'
But that was the trigger for a brutal hate campaign where she was branded a racist and personally attacked, and her law firm targeted with hateful one-star reviews.

'I am not a racist and my casual comments have been taken out of context,' the Sydney mother of twins told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday.
'I have definitely been misquoted and misunderstood. I didn’t even say Happy Australia Day!'
But just the mention of Australia Day and promoting the free deal at the Crows Nest Kickin' Inn cajun restaurant on Sydney's north shore sparked a furious backlash.
'You fat ignorant COWWWWWW!!!! Get your ass back on Tiktok and APOLOGISE! You w** looking s**t,' one told her.

She then recorded a second video to try to explain she was simply using the name of the holiday that's on the calendar...but that fired up
