Miriam O’Callaghan has given an uodate on the viral ad that led her to social network giant Facebook.
The Prime Time presenter has been the subject of an ad for face cream, that falsely states that she has left RTE, and had been ‘axed due to erratic behaviour.”
Now, Miriam has revealed that she tried multiple times to get the ad taken down.
“Lawyers, myself, the RTÉ publicist, we all tried to no avail, but it got worse. It actually became viral,” she told The Irish Sun.
“My mum was coming out of Mass and people were saying: ‘That’s awful about Miriam leaving RTE but great that she has a face cream.’”
“I realised then that people really believed it. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women believed it and bought the cream. So no, it is very serious actually,”
“Unfortunately, the last thing I want to do is to sue Facebook but I have no option,” she added.
The mother of seven recently revealed that she was most upset by the amount of people affected by the scam.
“Shocked,saddened&deeply frustrated to hear today about the number of women who have bought this so-called face cream of mine – total scam. Makes me more resolute to proceed.” she said on social media.
