Netizens who came across the post by the influencer slammed for being insensitive and disrespectful. The backlash was so brutal that Jayne Rivera ended up deactivating her account on Instagram.

I understand that you want to stand out of the crowd and come up with creative content to boost your followers on social media. I even understand that everyone mourns in their own way. But there is a line for everything. And seeing this influencer posting pictures of her photoshoot at her father’s funeral, is crossing that line (at least, for me). I agree when netizens say that there is some respect that needs to be given to the dead and this was just plain simple disrespectful and insensitive. At the same time, I also do feel for Jayne, because people on social media can be pretty hurtful with their comments, and she is already going through so much.
