Hello, Clarice.
Fans are trolling Danielle Bernstein after she posted a video of herself putting up a new light fixture in her home that they compared to “skin.”
On Wednesday, the fashion influencer shared a video of herself putting up the Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni “Viscontea” Pendant Lamp, which retails at more than $9,600, in her new home to her Instagram Stories.
According to the website, the light fixture, which was manufactured in 1960, is comprised of a resin and enameled steel frame structure with a “cocoon” elastic resin, which creates the shade diffuser.
While Bernstein, 31, seemed to think her new piece was perfect for her home, fans were spooked out by the lamp.
“It looks like dried animal skin in the shape of a bat,” wrote one critic on Reddit.
“It’s giving Silence of the Lambs,” added another, comparing the lamp to the 1991 cannibalistic horror film.
Another user said the light fixture was the “skin of her enemies,” while a fourth person wrote, “A dinosaurs skull from the Smithsonian.”
Bernstein is no stranger to being trolled by online critics.
In June, the WeWoreWhat founder was called out for using a filter on her abs.
“girl I love you but your filter is glitching HARD here. Just be you,” a fan DM’d Bernstein at the time in response to a picture she posted.
However, the “This is Not a Fashion Story” author emphatically denied using any filter to edit her abs.
“I shouldn’t even be addressing this but I don’t use filters on my videos,” she clarified on her Instagram Story. “I take [my videos] directly on my iPhone and upload and most times through instagram direct — you guys are crayyyyy.”
Bernstein then explained that the “zoom feature” on the social media platform was prone to “glitches,” which may have caused the confusion.
“My abs are my abs, sometimes they show more than others depending if I’m flexing, the angle, the lighting etc.. if only I had the time for that much editing lol,” she added.
Bernstein was also previously accused of copying indie designers and was slammed for her “tone-deaf” Instagram caption that used the Ukraine-Russia war to raise her company’s visibility.
