Fashion Influencer Chiara Ferragni Apologizes and Donates 1 Million Amid Misleading Charity Claims

Fashion influencer Chiara Ferragni has apologized to her 30 million Instagram followers for misleading them with a charity claim related to a limited-edition Christmas cake. She was fined over a million euros by Italy's competition watchdog for the misleading claim. Ferragni has pledged to donate an additional million euros to a children's hospital and plans to appeal the fine. The cake maker involved in the controversy was also fined. Consumers believed their purchase would contribute to a children's hospital, but the investigation found that the sales had no effect on charity donations.

Miller pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges and will also serve three years of supervised release. She will be required to pay restitution, with the amount to be determined later. Prosecutors emphasized that Miller's actions were not those of an influencer but of a convicted felon who stole from innocent people in need.
