Emma Chamberlain claims she isn’t looking to enter anyone’s direct messages in exchange for money.
The content producer recently made headlines when claims that she was charging customers $10,000 for customised Direct Messages on her retail website surfaced online. The tweet “why is emma chamberlain demanding 10K for an instagram DM this is wild” was posted to Twitter on March 18 and purportedly contained a screenshot of the DMs for sale.
Now, Emma is “eager to set the story straight,” she said in an exclusive statement to E! News on March 21.
“A few days I started seeing comments asking why I was selling a DM for $10k. I assumed this was an online scam, as I had never offered to sell a DM for any amount of money, let alone $10k,” Emma says in her statement. “People were saying this was for sale on my merch site, so I checked the site to see if it had been hacked and couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.”
