Mimi Elashiry has been one of Australia’s hottest Instagram sensations for years now, sharing her love of festivals, crystals, vegan food and bikini-clad selfies to her loyal following of 886,000.
The 21-year-old bohemian, who splits her time between L.A. and Sydney, posted a photo yesterday which immediately received backlash from fans.
Sitting on the sand in a bikini, Mimi captioned the now-deleted photo, “Sun Down syndrome.”
Straight away, comments started flooding in, with people saying the model was being “inappropriate” and that she “should really change that caption.”
Whether Mimi was referring to Down Syndrome – the genetic chromosome disorder which results in developmental and intellectual delays – or Sundown Syndrome – a form of Alzheimer’s disease – is unclear, but either way, she’s now thought better of it with the post disappearing from social media few hours ago.
