The photo in question comes from Aubrey's Instagram account where she posted a picture of herself in a bathing suit and boots, laying in a desert with Deserto de Mojave (a desert in California) as the location tagged for the photo. Aubrey also tagged Fashion Nova so it's most likely a sponsored post.
I had never heard of this woman @AubreyODay until today seeing her image she’s posted on Instagram. A stolen and photoshopped image, the original was of #SymaraTempleman years ago in Namibia. @FashionNova get your girl in line. Theft is not cute. Aubrey apologize. pic.twitter.com/p4VObjvyNZ— Ada Afoluwake Ogunkeye (@folustorms) April 21, 2019
This chick @AubreyODay is out here photoshopping herself into photos of black women by simply replacing herself in the image... smh— Kai (fly-mommy) (@kainicole) April 21, 2019
Can y'all stop stealing? Just acknowledge our beauty and leave us be! pic.twitter.com/MOU1ZC2i4I
@AubreyODay has photoshopped her own image over an artist’s work knowing she would receive more credit and coverage. She is profiting off someone else’s work, claiming it as her own and deleting anyone who calls her out. Make her accountable. pic.twitter.com/Ec0DZwUOZ4— lans (@LaniLiu) April 21, 2019
I'd like you all to know that @AubreyODay has blocked me on Instagram for pointing out she photoshopped herself into this photo. She also has blocked multiple others for commenting on the photo. https://t.co/fYlCooRGM0— Kai (fly-mommy) (@kainicole) April 21, 2019
Since we’ve posted this on our Instagram @AubreyODay #AubreyODay has blocked and deleted every comment telling her to give credit to #SymaraTempleman— U.K. Gossip TV 🇬🇧 (@UKGOSSIPTV) April 21, 2019
She’s also tagged the location as California, but the real Location is Nambia.
This is what culture appropriation looks like pic.twitter.com/I40BgcyWtm
It’s disgusting behaviour that @AubreyODay knows exactly what she’s doing. Please RT pic.twitter.com/Bc5uIPkwLM— U.K. Gossip TV 🇬🇧 (@UKGOSSIPTV) April 21, 2019
Symara Templeman, the international model in the original photo, posted about it on her Instagram page and wrote, "Fuck....... a little filter... enlarge image....... Photoshop original model out, and put another in. And here we are .... just so so tiring, being constantly used, underappreciated."It’s possible the image creator/photographer created the image and lifted the idea. She may not even know.— WTFGFX (@wtfgfx) April 21, 2019
Symara continued, "We worked so hard to create these beautiful images out in the Namibian desert. And then you have this. It's just...I'm so upset by this #aubreyoday."
