The spoiled Sydney influencer hits back after he was slammed for whining about having to queue for champagne at a party for fashion brand Burberry
A Sydney-based influencer has hit back after she was slammed for complaining on social media about the “poor” service she received at a Christmas party for fashion house Burberry.
Icy Ling took to Instagram earlier this week to vent her frustration at having to queue for free champagne and only received a glass half full.
The Beijing-born socialite was slammed on Instagram, with users laughing at how little contact she’s had with the “real world”.

She hit back at her followers on Saturday, writing, “There are many global issues but we are talking about a bartender refusing proper service.”
“We should show sympathy that there are people struggling with the post-Covid restrictions. At an event, however, the guests should at least be able to enjoy themselves.”
“That’s the point of Christmas parties, isn’t it? It is true that the drinks are free at the promotional events [but] But that doesn’t mean guests can expect a worse attitude from a bartender.”
Ling said she likes to be “real and reliable with her followers, clients and friends.”
She continued, “It’s not about how much you serve in each champagne glass. It’s about how we treat each customer the way he or she would like to come back.”

Ling ruffled some feathers last week when she took to social media to complain about the “poor” service she received at a Burberry Christmas party.
The Beijing-born socialite didn’t mince his words: “The worst and most rude bartenders I’ve ever met in my media life! Just because there are two long lines doesn’t mean my flute should be half full.
“Seriously, if you don’t want to serve, don’t worry, you don’t deserve to be @Burberry! What a joke!’ she raged.
Ling said she wasted her shampoo getting dressed for the party and should have been drinking at home.
It wasn’t long before Ling was toasting on Instagram, with users laughing at how out of touch with the “real world” she was.
She hit back at her followers on Saturday, writing: “There are many global issues but we are talking about a bartender refusing proper service.”
Ling doubled down on her claims when approached by The Daily Telegraph for comment.
She said: “We all expect that global standard and you go there, whether you’re media or a VIP, that was a bit of a shock.”
However, a publicist who was also present clapped back at her claim of having received poor service.
“When you are invited as a guest of a brand, social media is expected positively. If you have a difficult experience, you should step up with the brand.
“What’s special about it is that there’s something so trivial about complaining about champagne, especially given that we’re in the middle of a livelihood crisis.”
