Chiara Ferragni's Apology and Donation Amidst Charity Controversy
Italian fashion influencer Chiara Ferragni has apologized after misleading her followers by promoting a Christmas cake as a charity initiative. She admitted to a "communications error" and will donate €1m to a children's hospital. Ferragni was fined by Italy's competition watchdog, and her businesses were issued a €1.075m fine. She plans to appeal the fine and will top up her donation if she receives a reduction. The cake company, Balocco, was also fined €420,000.
