Instagram couple stirs up harsh criticism for daredevil photo
The social media influencers are getting backlash for being photographed gripping onto the side of a moving train while leaning out for a risky kiss.
Another Instagram couple is being chastised for taking a photo outside of a moving train in Sri Lanka.
The influencers, Jean and Camille of the BackpackDiariez Instagram handle, were photographed gripping onto the side of a blue train while leaning out for a risky kiss. The pair were traveling to Ella, Sri Lanka, and allegedly took the picture while the train was moving along a bridge through dense trees.
The Brussels-based couple captioned the shot, “one of our wildest kisses,” and posted it to their shared travel-themed Instagram page last week. (BackpackDiariez Instagram)
