Divorced influencers: marriage experts or walking contradictions?
Moroccan social networks are in turmoil. A new phenomenon is attracting attention: divorced influencers, with a large following on Instagram, give advice on married life. However, their credibility is in question because many of them have failed in their own relationships.
Some of these women have experienced multiple divorces and are raising children from different marriages. However, they continue to share tips on conflict management and communication within a couple. This paradox does not go unnoticed. Many subscribers wonder how they can advocate solutions that they have not been able to apply themselves.
The criticisms are rife. On forums and social networks, Internet users highlight a gap between the discourse of these influencers and their personal lives. “How can she advise me, when she has been divorced three times? “, an indignant subscriber under a publication. This type of comment becomes recurring.
The target audience of these influencers is mainly made up of young women who are married or looking for advice for their love life. For some, these suggestions are taken as absolute truths. But a lack of critical perspective among subscribers is worrying. They absorb this advice without asking questions about its relevance, or even about the private lives of those who dispense it.
Even more, some Internet users openly mock the contradictions. “She speaks like an expert, but her own life is a failure,” one post reads. The contrast between their public image, carefully constructed with makeup and elaborate speeches, and their chaotic private life, is often highlighted. These critiques highlight the artifice behind this digital facade.
The real question remains that of responsibility. These influencers have thousands of subscribers, often vulnerable, who take their advice to heart. Should we let anyone give recommendations on subjects as sensitive as marriage? Several observers are calling for stricter regulation of content published online, particularly when it concerns married life and personal relationships.
Beyond questions of reputation, this trend raises a deeper debate about the veracity and relevance of advice given on social networks. Shouldn’t the mere number of followers be accompanied by a minimum of responsibility for the content distributed?
The influence of social networks is undeniable, but this new fashion for marriage advice coming from women who have failed in their own marriages raises serious doubts about the impact it can have on impressionable young women in search of direction.
