Celebrities lead some of the most incredible lives around, getting to travel the world, experience amazing things and attend insane events. That being said, there have been a few cases where some celebs have been caught out faking it for the ‘gram to make their lives look more amazing than they are. Remember the ‘Bow Wow Challenge’, which came about when Lil Bow Wow was outed for faking his photo of a jet plane?

The latest star to come under fire for ‘fake’ photos is Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell, who often shares her incredible jaunts with her 19 million followers using the hashtag #Shaycation.
Her recent trip to China is the vacation in question, and it was the publication Stylecaster, who first caught on to the fact that the photos might not be 100% authentic.
They pointed out that several of her photos were from other sources and that most could be found on Google.

It seems that Shay’s now updated her captions to reflect where the photos came from…

But she’s also hit back in a couple of sassy posts, proving to everyone once and for all that she was there.
View so nice it almost looks… fake.

Maybe she was too busy living in the moment to take photos for the ‘gram? Who knows. Either way, it seems to have been cleared up now – Shay went to China and had the best time ever.
