Ruby Tuesday Matthews locked in feud with popular anti-influencer account

Popular Instagram account Aussie Influencer Opinions is locked in a public feud with Byron Bay influencer Ruby Tuesday Matthews. 

The drama started after Aussie Influencer Opinions publicly defended the Celeb Spellcheck account, which recently scrubbed its page following spats with several prominent influencers.

Ruby, 25, then sent Aussie Influencer Opinions a direct message, accusing them of ‘encouraging people to bully’ her.

‘The fact you’re even on private shows how much of a coward you are,’ she wrote.

‘It’s a page directed at bullying people, creating gossip and rumours. And encourages other people to bully me, threaten my children,’ she continued.

‘You insinuate certain things about me that are damaging to my character.’

Ruby went on, branding the creator behind the account ‘a low person’ and accusing them of ‘encouraging hate’.

Aussie Influencer Opinions responded with a lengthy reply and adamantly stated that they ‘do not ever encourage people to threaten people’s children’.

‘I call bulls**t and take your comment on that with a grain of salt,’ they added.

After some back and forth, Aussie Influencer Opinions agreed to remove the only two posts about Ruby Tuesday Matthews that were on their page.

Their feud then escalated further when Aussie Influencer Opinions later accused Ruby of making disparaging accusations about their account during an Instagram Live session.

‘Last night [Ruby] asked me to take down previous posts about her. I did so. Yet now she is willing to sit on a live and say that an “opinions” page (clearly this one given last night’s discussions) said things about her, that were never actually said?’ they wrote.

Ruby made nationwide headlines in October when she was due to fly from Byron Bay to Sydney on a 5pm flight, but a technical issue caused the plane’s departure to be delayed.

The budget airline asked travellers to stay put while waiting for an engineer, and told passengers the new departure time would likely be about 7.30pm.

But Ruby and her travel companion left the airport to eat oysters at a beachside restaurant, leaving passengers waiting on the tarmac for 30 minutes for them to return.

The Byron Bay beauty was heckled by passengers when she eventually boarded the plane.

She slammed the airline upon her arrival in Sydney for allowing her to be ‘bullied’.

Jetstar released a statement saying they had ‘kept customers informed’ throughout the delay, and asked them ‘not to leave the airport should the flight be able to get away ahead of the revised time’.

But Ruby claimed there were a number of other passengers who left the airport and arrived after the rescheduled departure time, saying: ‘Jetstar made a complete joke of themselves. They let that harassment happen.’
