The Cuban influencer Rachel Arderi defended herself against the criticism she received after sharing a "Get Ready With Me" (GRWM) video, a popular format on social media where content creators showcase their clothing or makeup preparation routine before going out.
Some followers accused her of copying La Dura, another Cuban influencer who posts similar videos on her Instagram profile. In response to these comments, Bebeshito's wife replied through her Instagram stories, where she shared examples of other international creators who also produce this type of content.
"Can someone tell me who invented this type of content? Just because you see a single 'Cuban influencer' supposedly doing it, sure that you don't follow anyone else, doesn't mean she is the creator of these trending videos," she wrote alongside images of other women posting GRWM videos.
In another story, she described the reaction of those accusing her of imitating La Dura as "ridiculous", emphasizing that this format is a global trend and not exclusive to one person.
Rachel Arderi's statements have sparked divided opinions among her followers, many of whom support Bebeshito's wife and encourage her to share more videos like this. "I didn't know GRWM had an owner, now do three times as many," commented one user, while another added: "Every woman has a unique style and essence; let's stop normalizing comparisons between ourselves. The world needs more love."
Other followers pointed out that this video format is a trend on social media and doesn't belong to just one person: "I didn't know that GRWM had an owner either. The day they stop saying that people copy each other, they should say that they are following a trend with their own style. That's why Cubans don't progress," expressed a follower.
In addition to the debate, many of their followers praised their style and elegance in the video: "That look suits you incredibly well," "Very elegant," "That style looks beautiful on you", "Overflowing with beauty and sophistication." Others highlighted that their image is refined without the need for exaggeration: "You look beautiful without showing off, and I like that even more."
Far from being affected by the criticism, the influencer reaffirmed her stance and made it clear that she will continue sharing content in her own way. One follower supported this decision by writing: "GRWMs are not just for one person; it's a trend on Instagram and Facebook, and anyone can do them. Stay fabulous and beautiful always, keep going, mommy."
